So? What does everyone think?

I'm sure it can be done, but we have to wait for the vacationer to return.

I'll make special sub-forums for them mate. Should make things easier for you i hope. You can make people post their slates here (ie: it's easier to see them and keep them in track) and you can post the results on your website and do what you did at FM. It's up to you really, but i'll definitely do the separate forums thing. Just remind me to do it when the leagues are about to begin.

Anyone looked at the google map section of ths site that shows where current online users are from on a world map?

Pretty cool.

How do we do that, leestu?

I figured it out. You click on where it says "Who is Online" down at the bottom of the page. It is pretty cool.

Oh, yeah, it IS pretty cool. It's not ENTIRELY accurate, though... I followed the arrow pointing to me down to the very closest level, and it actually missed my house by about 2 1/2 miles to the northwest. Still, pretty cool.

I had to zoom out just so I could find myself on the map. Living outside the normality zones does have its disadvantages every so often...

I'll say this much: Not to cast aspersions on our former home, sweet home, but this location's Forum is one Helluvan improvement.


My PC can beat up your PC.

For me, it was not even close. I never knew Pittsburgh was just outside of St. Louis. I'm sure it is if you're looking at the Earth from Jupiter.

Actually, it told me that I was in Kansas (outside Witchita). I've never been west of Missouri.

Hope this doesn't sound bad, but I STILL WANT A CHAT ROOM!!!

I second a chat room. A discussion in real-time? That would be awesome!!! A full-on meeting of minds without all those naughty long-distance charges!

I've thought about it.. It wouldn't be too hard to do either.. But a chat room means less posts on the forum. If the post counts goes up, the 'bots' find more pages and if that happens then they show up higher on the 'search lists' and that could mean new people at some point.

We could always have a 'random chat' thread for people who are online at the same time..?

I would still post as much as I would (if that makes any sense) because what I post I want everyone to see (or I wouldn't post it). I would do both, myself.

What W said.

Taking in what everyone was saying about the site, I think that a chatroom would freshen the site up a bit and more people would post more. Anyone else?

I don't know how it will.. but fine, i'll do it. It'll be up soon.

But you need to 'pay' for it W.. 20 posts a day from now on.. :p

That should fatten his brain up.

Ok it's done.. It's primitive, but it should do for now. Go ahead people, try it out and tell me about any 'quirks'..

Also, do people want it to be on the forum page like i've done, or just the link to it at the bottom of the page where it'll open up in a new pop-up window?

Looks fine.

I'd rather have a link to it. It's rather bulky.

Ok... I've got some free time today and tomorrow so i'm going to re-do the forum/sub-forum outlines.. I need the mods to be ready to start moving crap cause it'll take too much time if i do it all myself.

Basically, the ULT and BOX will now be CURRENT and ARCHIVE instead of (box office nov-jan etc etc). It easier to keep everything in check that way..

Also, i'm adding an 'introduce yourself' sub-forum, as well as some movie/trailer discussion ones. The movie discussion is going to have a 'spoiler' alert and they will link (i'm hoping) to Shrykes movie reviews. (if he has no objections..)

Any more ideas are welcome, please put them here and i'll see what i can do about it.

No objections.

That's Bluntastic!
