Crap Overload - 2004/12/25 10:13
[quote="WVUP997"]To the administrators
First I'd like to compliment you all on this site, its pretty cool to hear about what you are all up to and to hear you BS and everything... But seriously, there are only sixty members and when we're not on holiday season and I wait a couple of days to check out the site again, it takes me an hour to go through all the new crap.
There needs to be better organization and structure... 90 % of this is just messaging between people, "Thanks brownhole, i'll get on that." This is just an example of what could be private messaged. This isn't quite a problem yet, but if things like this keep going and for some reason you get a couple of hundred people on this forum, it's going to take a couple of hours a day to go through everything, everyday.
One suggestion I have is to monitor each topic and delete all the crap (or should I said White noise) people write when they get side tracked. Another is more useable topics on the posts. Some of these topics I have no idea what I'm about to read and it ends up wasting my time. Not that at some point I wouldn't go read them for shear amusement, but that kind of stuff could have one main folder on the main board.
Down with Forum Board SPAM!
Aight, i said my peace, and congradulate you on a taking a dream through the process, and I'm sure I can speak for every one in saying we appriciate it. And I hope the above does get the chance in being a huge problem with 2000 users.
YITB and Peace, Wolfe
P.S. I only read page two of the suggestions after I wrote this, sorry if there is any repeated stuff!
P.P.S. And if your wondering why I'm so bored as to write such a long message at this hour on Christmas day, it is because I am on an oil rig in the North Sea and this job sucks... pay is aight, Norwegian women are aight, but is it all worth it in the end? I guess I'll find out someday!
This aggrivates me... Basically he is one of those guys that wants to keep everything small... You cannot do that...
I think you read what you are interested in, hence the different catagories.... I am not sure how we can run around and delete every post with "me too..." in it.
But, this is also a "Good" problem... our board is growing with leaps and bounds... I can recommend people stay to the point, but if they have the speech police on them all the time, then they will just leave... The more people here, the more useful.
Comments?
