Craig Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 If I had the choice in any alteration, it would be a very minor one. Fewer forums, so that there would be more activity in the ones left. I'm sure some could be merged without loosing the effectiveness of them.I'm constantly looking into making improvements with regards the forums we have.Yes, we do have many boards, and yes some of them don’t get used very often.To this day, I still find myself trying to figure out where I should post certain topics as a couple of forums may cover it.I am browsing through other websites to see what sort of forum design they have going and hope to make Windows Forum as efficient as other boards I have seen.

Tankus Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 PS .....dont delete the boards Some of the help ones will remain useful even if they are inactive ......If you need the space ...dump the old jokes and off topic onesAnd how about doing something about the red stains ...It looks like amateur hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 yes the red stains,theres a mixed response within the admin/mod group as you can imagine :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Djohn..I use the "Today's Active Topics" all the time and just refresh that page, saves clicking around the various forums. Seems to work OK for me.That's what I do as well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Ive been looking at the members posting .......There are actually about 100 members approx with any recent posts ....with only around 50 who could be considered partially active .....I am happy though ( Ive just realised my posting is becoming negative )woof woofDjohnWhen I log in and see anything from 10-20 members on-line, but can't see any new post being made.Yeah , I see it often too But Ill think you find that the admin board would be getting caned (which we both don't have access too) and the PM fetishists club is out in force....If you want to know where every body is at, click on the "last click" tab on the bottom and see who is doing what online ....

christmascracker Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 If you want to know where every body is at, click on the "last click" tab on the bottom and see who is doing what online ....Thats neat, didn't know you could do that :rolleyes: I like the fact that this forum is smaller, makes it more personal and you can get to know the other members better.Find myself here a lot more than pca these days :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I noticed the 'last click' but never used it.What a revelation! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Seems to be a lot of talk about the number of posts which in my opinion is pointless. I'm sure most of the posts are :) or similar and actually add very little value to anything apart from to show another member found a joke funny. Nothing wrong in that don't get me wrong, but I for one don't have the time to post 'acknoledgments' of any kind to every post I read. Don't make me an any more inactive member than the person who posts :) to every thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drovers Dog Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 :P You know people I feel very proud of all of you!!!This is a Forum, and here you all are doing what is right for a Forum!! Noone is seriously attacking anyone else, just discussing how WE ALL may be able to make this BETTER!Pat yourselves on the back!!! That is why most people LOVE this site!!BTW on the Site mentioned before, someone got Banned for Spamming for another Forum, by using PM. I totally agree with that, and suggest to Craig and Nellie that we have strict guidelines in place regarding SPAM through PM, for any reason!!! :innocent: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 and how do we do that,since craig reinstalled the software the option to look at pms was not installed so its impossible to control spamming by pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to play around with PM, the same thing will happen!!Just my opinion! :innocent: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
