- Inspiration Station ā€¦Sounds like somewhere along the reading rainbow. I think maybe: Out of the 4 Billion Web Sites That Exist, We Managed To Find A Few That Donā€™t Actually Suckā€¦ That might be a little long. I like the idea of having a place where we can submit sites that Phil can review and approve or send the the fiery pits of hell. Maybe: Phil at the Gates ---

> \*Originally posted by kirupa \* > \*\*Yeah rev - users can submit a site to any one of us, and we can create a new thread with one site mentioned in each thread šŸ™‚ \*\* I was thinking more along the line of a column, done in the forum, so Phil could update it. Phil/any mod would be the only one who could post in there (locked threads), and the topics would be discussed (if at all) in random. This could be a great way to get weird, out of the way topics, found by members, into a place which is easily accessed and without the possibility of spam. When a topic gets a good discussion going, the thread could be linked from Philā€™s columnā€¦ It would require no time whatsoever on your part, and would be very interesting. I know I see people all the time asking Phil for links. Here we would have those links, with a little explaination from Phil/other mods if they want, easy to find, easy to get a quick summaryā€¦ I really think this could be a fun and interesting portion of your site.

Sounds like a good idea rev. I modified the original rules before I read your thread with a similar idea. Basically, there is a thread in Random where any cool sites can be included. Any of us mods can add that site to the forum, and regular members will not be allowed to create new threads in that forum. The only deviation I took is that I allow members to reply to threads. If you think that would not be necessary, I can disable that. I just think that having members reply in a thread that already exists for a site will help the discussion be more organizedā€¦ instead of a ā€œwow coolā€ comment in a 10 page thread with none of us knowing for which site that comment was directed toward šŸ™‚ Cheers!

the only reason I was saying to not allow responses, was so the topic site will not get hijacked, or spammedā€¦ then, when someone wants to discuss a thread in there, they simply link to it from randomā€¦ Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

ok - sounds good. Iā€™ll just move the 2A and BB threads from that forum back into Random then šŸ™‚ There is absolutely no spam in the 2A threadā€¦absolutely none haha. ---

these sites donā€™t have to be developer based do they? I mean if I find a site on frogs growing inside rocks, hypathetically, ![](http://userpages.umbc.edu/~tmccau1/images/smilies/suspicious.gif) then could I post it in cool sites? Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Iā€™m just wondering why us reg members canā€™t post in it. Assuming there is strict modding of the forum, itā€™d be a lot easier to see what people have to say about the site w/o having to open another browser to go to random. Plus weā€™ll probably still be on page 1 of the sites forum while the thread about that site is on page 200 of random. All youā€™d need to do is just make sure all the posts are useful (-50 post count for anybody who spams that forum).
