We will see if Bill can start to save a text copy of the chat room once he starts them back up.

I think this is because some things are really obvious to some people & they have a hard time grasping that they might not be as obvious to others (I have this problem)
I know there was a thread where you got bashed a bit
What was that one? Maybe I can clear it up a bit.

Just personal preference though, and honestly I think its not something you could change now.

You do realize that Netpond has 40 forums & sub-forums, right?

We disabled that as it had a lot of info on there as far as who all of the board members are, their emails, IP's etc. I think we took the link out a long time ago, but the board upgrade might have put it back in (even though it's turned off)

I think a lot of it has to do with the attitude towards new people. Might not be just because they are new, but because they are clueless and someone ends up chewing their head off.

2257 brought everyone out of the woodwork
I have noticed this as well & some of them confuse the shit out of me. People will register, make a post or 2, not even come close to being bashed & then you never hear from them again
I wonder how many people miss the part of the "welcome email" that asks them to post in the "Welcome To The Board" thread, start a thread announcing that they are a new member, it gets merged & they assume it got deleted?
(and no, I'm not going to change doing that, because it's clearly in the welcome email - lol)

Oh stop! We don't use it nearly as much as we used to - plus look how popular this thread is because of it

It would be nice to have tutorials though written by some board members in their area of expertise. Maybe make the threads locked so they don't get cluttered with comments, etc.

Give us examples of what you think we should have tutorials on. I've had a tutorial for building free sites in my head for a long time now, but the problem is that it's really fucking long & every time I start to type it up, it seems to get longer

This ain't GFY my friend - it'll be abused (even by people in the Buddy Christ Club) it'd slow down the board, it'd encourage people to get their post counts up, etc. Just click the link

MrMaryLou is working on a project right now, but once that's done, I will have him go thru them & get things updated (problem is that it's a 2 month task - lol)
