And I don't mean complaints about staff or decisions ya bastards!

Any visual changes? Color changes? Anything anyone can think of to add to the board? More smilies? Less smilies?

Anything at all we can do to bring things up a notch?

I'll do anything I can, within reason, and my knowledge, so speak up!

That goes without saying! I was thinking of making it mandatory for all the ladies to share with us for continued membership, but to be honest, we just ain't all that and I think they would just run for the hills! :laugh2:

They would run for their chests? :confused: Sorry! :laugh2:

Seriously, I would like to see a new banner. The existing one looks cheesy. Maybe just some national symbols, or - if you must have soldiers - counterbalance them with peace demonstrators. :dunno:

I'm kind of fond of the banner, and to be quite honest, it cost me a pretty penny to have designed! :)

But I'd be just as happy to change it if we can all find something suitable. All I ask, is that the dimensions remain the same, and the picture is 'transparent' so that it would adapt to any color changes we would make with the board.

Anyone else want to throw in some ideas about what we could possibly do for a new banner?

Just an Fyi - this is one that I had designed and paid for too, but never used:

no- I want a hack that takes MULTIPLE consecutive replies by the same user, and places them into ONE reply.

Today Stripey had EIGHT or NINE consecutive replies to ONE thread. :(

I like the banner as is.

Can't think of anything that needs improving right now, but I'll think about it.

How about getting a hosting company that doesn't make your site go down several times a week? That'd be great.... :)

Do you really find it down several times per week? I know it has it's moments, but 'tis the life of being on a "shared server". It definitely has hiccups at times, but vB is SQL intensive and can easily cause slowdowns and crashes if the server is busy. Maybe I'll setup a remote monitor to see just how often the site is unreachable. Since I'm not on 24x7, I could very well miss times that the site dies.

It already costs me a decent amount to have this on a "semi-dedicated" server, I can't afford to upgrade at the moment!

Yes, more smilies. I want a *spits drink* or something similar smiley. Sometimes the wee laugh smilies are not enough to express how I really feel, deep down, you know. :coffee:

And, we should change any smilie that NM abused:

:laugh2: :popcorn:

Also, make the smilie menu on the right of the post changeable, ie, I want to put my favorite ones there, not the apparent default.

And then....


And then....

Yup.. it does Jim.....

How much do you pay now for being on a shared server?

$30 per month on a semi-dedicated server (10 other users) as opposed to a typical shared server environment where there is anywhere from 800-3000 sites on a server.
