I know the forums aren't vbulletin but I figure that if vbulletin can do it, our forum techies totally can.

(hint hint nudge nudge)

ahem.

thanks for the request

lol....Also, I think things are settling down around here and getting into a groove, so there might not be too many ideas.

I think Tim or Kindred asked for an update on the BB/BS program... Did I miss the answer?

Locking a thread, does not negate the ability to vote on threads... but good thinking!

BUT I HAVE A SUGGESTION.



Can you guys ask the tech people if we can add time limits to polls?



Here's why that would be awesome:

I like most of this, great ideas.

The only thing I don't like is B. I agree that people just bump up old threads for points, but some of those I have not read before. A lot of those have some real good info in them so I am not sure if it is a good idea to block them. hmm kind of a hard one there.

Couldn't they be locked to prevent them from being commented/voted on, but still viewable?

maybe lock the voting, but not the comments?

this would at least allow people to actually contribute to the discussion, not just getting their penny for voting

That would be great. At least they would have to leave a comment.

There are some polls I think are worth keeping open, even if people are only point farming. But there are obvious ones, like Rumbles and limited time threads that can be closed completely. They are no longer relevant.

BB/BS update: Ok development is a tricky thing, nothing is done until its done. And sometimes projects get bumped for a million and one reasons... so I don't want to / can't really say too much.

However, the idea has evolved into a bigger help system that would be useful to / and usable by everyone.

Hmm, that's an interesting thought. What if you have the BB/BS also be a "help desk" option for people. Maybe somehow have them log in when they are available, and people can chat live when they have a question, almost like tech support but only for community type questions. Just think aloud.

Cool! I think this will be a great help in the community. If you need any help, all you half to do is ask.

Alright, it's 8 already...

Before we go:

- Remember to help Taco and donate your points.
- Anyone have anything else?

I know it was supposed to include much more than just this... but I always thought it would be a great idea if there was a big blurb on the mentor program page that better highlighted what the program was. I remember when I first signed up I wasn't even sure what I was signing up for. Couldn't that help while BB?BS is being organized?

I like that. It probably would get used a bunch, even by not so new folks. Good thinking Kindred.

Okay, good night. I have about 80 pages left in a book I'm reading and Bones is new and I never watch TV, so I might catch it tonight, unless I get sucked into my book!

Love you all! Catch you wherever I normally talk to you.

How about this...

Throughout the week, whenever you think of anything, or notice anything off, just pop back onto this thread and make a note.

Thanks!
