Mr Gupps...
Tuesday, February 25, 2003 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
So far, in your short stay here at Wincustomize.com, I count 10 threads started by you.
That's probably more than I have done since Day One of the site.
I removed the last one twice as there is already a Joke thread to put it in if you 'must'.....or why not any of the 10 you have visible over the past 2 days?
Pointless thread-starting only adds to people's confusion and inability to find anything that really 'matters'.
OK?...

BoXXi waves at Doreen!
I like this board the way it is, message boards at other sites annoy the hell out of me!

No, Shoggot implented the msgboard so that some huge threads gets closed and moved and then start a new one... like suggestions, questions, updates, etc

when they are in catagories you have to:
1. Click on Forum
2. Click on the individual catagories
3. "Find" the newly added post to each one hidden in each catagory
old way
1. Click on Forum
2. Click on newly added post
Doreen looks and wonders what my prob is? hehe

Hello BoXXi 
I forgot Elf exactly how it was I just simply remember he changed something and I remember I did not like that either...
but I just like simplicity when I come out to play I don't feel like working (I guess I look at clicking and searching for stuff as work) hehe!

That's what I get for having a photographic memory that doesn't work well with academics

Yeah... Shoggot did something called thread archiving - can't say I was too keen on that personally.
Hmm... I do totally see where you guys are coming from about keeping the pure simplicity of the board though - but at the moment I find myself wading through so much 'other' stuff that is can be hard to spot something relevant in between all the jokes, personal messages and just plain silly posts.
I basically just took a quick glance on the board and saw about 50% skinning & customization threads and about 50% of the others... and thought to myself - hay, if this was 2 boards it would make it so much more organised.
Just 2 boards people... it's an idea, not a revolution

Two boards for us, three boards for the admins... How's that scroller on your mouse? Some people don't have one

It's not a bad idea, but I've been a board moderator at endeffect.... and I only visit certain sections if that happens... here I at least attempt visiting them all

Well the key point of my idea is to have 2 boards only... ever.
(of course the admins will have an extra one, but that effects the very small minority of the total users of the site)
To be honest, I can't think of any customization sites that have just 2 boards... deviantART has loads, Deskmod quite a few, Customize.org just 1 (but not many posts), VelocityART also has quite a few, as does ArtUproar.
2 Boards really won't take long to check, just pop in the one you prefer... have a quick look down the thread list and then jump into the other one.

Well, those aren't the concerns. The concerns are... how much time do our two coding admins have to code this?
I've recently just sent them all a long email with one extremely long idea... and just thought of yet another through talking with WOM... and now the msgboard idea...
"Back up people, give them some air."

Geez people....I think you're all being a little too hard on the guy.
Ok, he's maybe a little over-enthusiastic, but he's new here and may not be accustomed to the way things are done (or not done) - although Jafo has warned him a couple times.
Give the guy a break. For an 8th grader, I think he shows an above average level of maturity, is respectful and generally nice.
Mr. Grupps...listen to Jafo...nothing will lose you friends here quicker than becomming an annoyance.

I'd love to see all the marathon type stuff on a seperate board. I don't have a problem with silly stuff, but these "quests for the longest thread" are getting tedious and too abundant IMHO, and don't get me started on the threads where 4 to 6 people are doing nothing more than chatting............

Chatroom Marathon got started on the grounds of attempting to shut down the plentiful chat threads, but apparently they didn't work. Sorry, Koasati.
