Hey Rumpleforeskin: What Do You Like and/or Dislike About This Board?

[Bill]

I sure everybody already knows this trick, but people have mentioned the difficulty of navigating all the forums...

If you put this link into your GG&J bookmark, everytime you call up the bookmark you get a nice list of all the newest posts in all the forums, with the most recently posted in threads coming up first on the list.

copy and paste this url into your properties in your bookmark.

sorry if this is already universally known. ;-}

Hmm..
Pretty much what everyone says, the community is the key. When I have a dumbass question I can generally find the answer here, and I help when I can with the non-tech stuff.
Great place to make deals! Only been here about a month and made a few.
About newbies, I was torn a new arsehole at first, but hey I asked for a review and the site sucked! I learned from it.
And I like Green so much I joined the Party

Negatives, morning comes too early for most of the chit chat My ass is barely out of bed then since I usually work until 3 or 4 a.m. If I really need to chat then, I wake up my wife and she usually has a few words for me

Great place!!

Likes:

-It's more about business less about meaningless threads. It's like the wallstreet journal with a sense of humor. It may turn off some webmasters, but they're usually the ones that spend the most time posting threads.

-No points / rewards for posting other than a buddy jesus at 1k. I think the value of the board comes in the information you get rather than some monetary amount put on a post.

-General sense of community here. People are posting because they want to post and not for some other convoluted reasons.

Dislikes (more like suggestions):

-I'd kind of like to see a tutorial section on the forum. There's so much bad information given out on other boards, it would be great to just have a section on how things should be done. Eventhough there's a noobie section on the board, the information often gets spread out or buried in a few weeks and god help if people actually use the search feature, lol. 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.

It'd just be a resource for newbie webmasters that could easily be refferred to and if they want to learn they can.

-Attached images....just have them open up in the thread I know this function can get abused, so maybe you can put a limit on who can use it, say 100+ posts before they get that priviledge. Personally, I just like the pictures opening in the threads rather than a seperate link.

-The mrblue smiley being added to the smilies, lol...yeah, I'm on a quest to get him added everywhere:

Most of mine have already been mentioned.

Likes:
- New webmaster friendly. If someone needs help it's quick to come from all angles.
- So much great free information! I sometimes think you should charge for access to this forum and split the proceeds.
- The webmaster resources section/GG stats etc is priceless. I dig something useful out of there a couple of times per week.
- The Radio Show. I wish it was a few hours earlier and a bit longer. The random member competition was cool. Never seen that before.
- No-nonsense straight-talking advice.
- Building business relationships and personal ones.

Dislikes:
- People leaving for strange reasons, personality clashes etc.
- Time zones.
