It may be necessary to limit newbie's ability to post pics and links for X number of posts once we get an honorable mention over at the DUmp.  They're probably already lurking.   Hey DUmmies... :bigbird:

Good point.

One minor request..... should you start a recipe forum, please do NOT say:

What is cooking that is good

That was the one thing that bugged me no end at CU.

That and the fact that I donated my $40 and never got access to the dungeon or any of the other goodies promised me.

What was in that dungeon, anyway?

Um, just threads about long-time members who didn't have access.  :-)

I experienced the same problem after donating to CU.  It was like I didn't exist.  I did some inquiring and still didn't get  satisfactory recognition until I PM'ed Rob/gator.  I got some action when I said, "Someone got my money, and if it wasn't you, I want to find out who did."    

People are busy, and things get lost in the shuffle.  I didn't make a big deal out of it.   Since you donated, ask for some sort of acknowledgment the money was received.  You are due that much.

BTW, the Dungeon is the forum to go to talk and not be heard by the riffraff.  Maybe your name came up?   :lmao:

Doubt it was a scam. Things just get pushed back or priorities change.

I didn't read through this entire thread so I apologize if this has already been suggested.

Over at CU, each forum has the number of viewers in parentheses. Is it possible to add that to CC?

I like to know where all the action is at.  :-)

As this site is in it's EARLY infancy, I will need suggestions as to what you'd like to see. Here are a few categories:

PLEASE REMEMBER, EVERYTHING IS FLUID RIGHT NOW.

1) Categories- Any categories, like the lounge/bar, political, etc.

2) Boards- actual boards that'll be under those categories

3) Child boards- many boards can easily fall under another board by sharing some of the same traits. I.e., like having a military board, with the US Army, US Navy, etc., being child board.

4) Moderation- if anyone has any experience modding, or think you can do the job, throw your name into the ring. Please note, this position also requires a little bit of recruiting as well.

5) New features- Many things I can do, and have done at other sites such as e-Mail, smilies, page layout, colors, etc. You suggest it, and it is a consensus, I'll get it done.....if it can be done.

6) Name suggestions- I'm not really liking the "Conservatives Cave" right now, so if anyone has any suggestions on that, please post them. I'm open.

In summation, "I" know an Admin isn't a board. I also know it takes members and when you start thinking your members don't mean shit, and you're HMFIC that doesn't have to listen to anyone, you limit the growth of your board. It's not about me. It's about the community as a whole. I have added another Admin, Thor. Some of you may see him from time to time on CU. He's my fellow Admin at USMILNET and my right hand, I.e., I die, it's his world dog,  and is known for getting things done. He said he'd help out as much as he can. Thor is retired Navy so when it comes to slamming idiots like TiT, he's also your man.  :evillaugh:

Kevin


EDIT: Another thing, features such as the Shoutbox and all of the categories can be minimized with the click of the mouse. The button for the shoutbox is on the far right, the buttons for the categories are on the far left.

4) I'll help, if you'd like
6)How about "Conservative Corner" (I've got a board with that name, but I don't really use it)?  Freedom Underground (yeah, yeah that's a joke) :-)

Can we increase the number of visible replies on a single page?  I think the default is set to 20 right now but I would like to be able to customize it.  I prefer the longer pages (100 posts per page).

How about 50?  That's the posts per page number on FR and I always thought CU's 15 PPP was a bit inconvenient (not that I'm criticizing them, I'm still a member there and I'm not planning on quitting :kumbaya:)
