new forum for suggestions

**Sara Noel** · 03-19-2010, 12:06 AM

Yes, definitely some of the sub forums could be pruned again. We used to have skins. I am hesitant to add new skins now because we're updating the forums soon. But I'll put that on the list for after the update.

New skins would be awesome! Good idea! (A black and pink one would rock!)

I was also thinking people that post in the Welcome Wagon should add to their post count.

I hope I don't get stoned for suggesting that.

Just one more suggestion and I swear I will shut up.

I want the "Where's Waldo" rule to be overturned.

Because not everyone that cares about someone on a message board or bonds with them= exchange of email address.

I feel like it's not about drama but more about concern for posters that some of us has got to know.

Right now I noticed Niko and Madhen are not posting. I know things come up and puters die...and many things...but after a certain time when we know this persons rep....I don't know why we can't have a MIA thread going on. I think it would help the community and people would feel welcomed back for whatever reason they left or know that the FV people are thinking about them.

You guys can see how many IP addresses surf instead of posting again.

Many boards allow this and it seems to be a positive thing. Maybe a certain rule or time frame before one could post about another member?

Just saying..

Thanks.

I agree. Personally, I do not communicate with anyone outside of the forum itself. When one of the regulars disappears, I am always left wondering how they are. There are several regulars I miss and would love to just know they are OK. But, have no clue as to who on here I could ask about them. I agree it's not a "drama" thing for me, either. It's a genuine concern.

You won't get stoned, but this probably isn't going to change.

This probably won't change either. Members can use private messages. But I do understand what you're saying. But from a forum owner perspective, the best prediction of the future is based on the past and history has proven to me that it's overall more negative than positive for the community. Of course, I know not everyone is intentionally trying to stir up drama.
