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

I like the way the forums are divided. It's good not having to peruse all threads to find ones on the topics I'm interested in.

And there's some really good posts here, many of which are on topics that don't seem to appear on other boards I read.

The search is ok, not great, but I guess that's an issue with vB.

I really dislike the 'herd mentality' as Jeremy put it. And a lot of people seem set in their ways / down on new ideas & doing things differently. I commend GG for making changes to his LL rules cause it's good to try a different format & freshen things up for both him and submitters. But on the other hand being down on people that want to list a few galleries or whatever else on their linklists is pretty rough. Copying and / or doing things exactly the same way as everyone else is not the way, IMHO, to make money in business.

If it has not been mentioned yet, I'd like to have archives for OTB just like the radio show. I have a feeling I missed a good one last week.

It would also be nice to see if anyone has commented on recent threads that I have posted in. Some days I have a short memory and this board can move pretty fast at times.

Other than that, this board is a great source of information and sometimes amusement. (That UW character can be pretty funny at times.)

If you go into your user panel under Messaging & Notification there's one called Default Thread Subscription Mode and you can change the default to get an email when someone replies to a thread you've posted in. Is that what you mean?
