What can we do to improve this site and improve the membership of viewers
I spoke up about my faith and some of the things that I do not particular agree with as far as tastless comments that I did not thing was appropriate for the boards, I just brought up one thread but anyone can use the search button and you can read as much as you want.
The general consensus was to restore the post in question, as one mod put it "Bottom line - mindless blabbering is what it is - if you come to socialize, you're going to see some crap. If you come to learn.....you're not in that forum?"
So it was suggested maybe to allow posting with a 'warning: this section may offend' title. If that is the direction the forums is heading....
Let me make My Suggestion
This is the first board I ever joined http://forum.gon.com/
Take a look how many people view this board. This is Ga. Outdoors News forum. It is geared to the outdoors and Is Very Successful.
Routinely It has over 500 members online at any given time
One thing I like about that board, look at some of the subjects and topics http://forum.gon.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67 and if you want to understand it more, read some of their posts.
People will try and get away with as much as they can, but over there the mods try to nip it in the bud.
For the ones who might tell me since I like it so much maybe that is where I should be, I do have a lot in common with those guys but I have just as much in common with a lot of you guys.
I am not promoting there board over this one, that is not my purpose, but we can learn from them.
If this warrents deleting.....just move it over to Mindless Blabbering
