Suggestion for forum addition

Actually, that’s a good idea. Rev - how about we simply do not count post counts in that forum? Because as more sites get added to that forum, they will ultimately fall toward the bottom with users having no way of judging which sites generating the most number of comments.

EDIT: Maybe if we find members spamming or using that area as a chat room, we can mercilessly delete those threads like a raving (rave’s aren’t only for people trying to be cool after all :)) lion attacking a wildebeest.

then you have to draw a line as to what is useful, etc.

this will stop all arguments before they start.

it will also make it so we don’t have to strictly mod a new section.

I assume that usually after posting a site, a thread in random will be opened immediately thereafter. That thread will be linked from the one in cool sites.

Rev

I don’t think that post counts make a difference any more. I think that threads will get hijacked, and after 1 page, no one will read what the thread was about in the first place.

JMO tho.

Rev

[edit]I also think we are as agressive as we can be, and still keep the fun factor up[/edit]

ok, i understand what you mean rev. You’ve had your share of arguments with members in the past week :P.

thanks nali

Rev

ok - as any new threads about a site appears in Random, any of us can edit that appropriate thread in the UC forum with the link to the thread in Random :wink:

sounds cool to me…

if it doesn’t work out, we can always change it…

some of the cool sites will submitted will prob be more suited to their category, some won’t…

Rev

wow, I’m glad you guys have taken to the suggestion. You all have some great ideas too… some of the names you guys came up with are awesome…
i’ll put another one foward: ‘Needle in a haystack of needles in a web of haystacks’
a little long i guess :smirk: but to the point, hehe…

either way, based on all your input, here’s how it could layout:

  • site remarks (user forum for discussion on specific sites & posting of new sites)

-below would be administrator controlled-

  • tutorial sites (sites that offer tutorials & lessons)
  • experimental sites (sites on the edge of flash functionality)
  • design sites (sites using flash and/or with excellent design or design as a theme)

another section, although its getting big here, would be a forum for links to jobpages and freelance markets for graphic designers… hey, i mean we all need work (some of us anyway :sure: ) and we can help each other out if we find a good job site or have a job that we can’t take, to pass it on.

My main idea was based around the fact that there are tons and tons of great sites and new flash stuff and it would be impossible to comb through it all yourself, but with the amount of people here, if we trade our bookmarks like baseball cards, I’d say we’d end up with a pretty inspirational collection.

whadya say? :wink:

oh, one more idea: funny sites… sites that use flash to make us laugh our *** off… like www.ebaumsworld.com/

although i realize humor is pretty subjective…
