: I have been coming to this site for years, but only just recently signed up for the boards. To be quite honest, I don't like them. There are 1000's of people all talking at once and no one is responding. This is not a chat room, this is an ampitheatre during a concert. No one is chatting, they are just throwing ideas to the wind..
You're exactly right. It's not a chat room, nor is it intended to be. If you want to "chat", go to either the other white board or the unofficial VA chat. This is a place to ask questions of Kevin and the folks in red, not a place to chat.
: it really has grown beyond what it was indended for and should be upgraded to match. I don't know what Program www.he-man.org uses on their system, but it is clean and neat and very modifyable for the mods. It lists by topic only, so you don't have to see EVERY freakin post and categorizes into several different boards--here we could have one for each flick, a general View Askew and a Non-Askew/general chat board.
We already have that. Go to the OWB.
:You can, as an admin, determine if you want smilies and colored text and font type and size, etc. You can edit or delete posts..it's the best I have ever seen!
They already delete posts here, and who the hell wants smiley faces? Are we all 15 years-old?
: anyway, I doubt I will post here much-- I usually only post when I want a question answered that I cannot find elsewhere on-line, but the post is off the board in less than a day...
Try scrolling down.
:and there seems to be only newbies here anyway, so I am loosing sight of the Fun factor here.. Plus, the sign up is one of the snottiest things I have ever read!! and there is no cookie generator, so EVERY post requires a manual login--that sucks!
So what you are saying is that you are so lazy you can't type a couple little things to allow you to post. I can see how that would destroy the "fun factor" for anyone.
: anyway, just curious if you agree that they need to split into several different boards or not
No.
