Dazzla Veteran Posted March 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2004 It's not an issue of having problems, it's an issue of having certain forums cluttered up like crap with offtopic stuff until some mod comes by and cleans it up. Even this board has a time window where there are low to none mods. And a global announcement notifying about the change, whether in the forum or via email, wouldn't change too much. On some gaming forum that's known for heavy moderation that'd make Neowin look like Trollers Playground, it didn't help either on a reorder, and it had way less subforums. Mine and yours definitions of problems are different then, it seems your major intolerance for anyone with an IQ lower then your genius proportions is a problem and as such the small time frame when there could be a post in the wrong section is too much.

.... Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 ok i dont know much about the admin side of these forums, but you know what would be cool? if like each member could customize a "my neowin" section and could arrange the forums in any order he/she chose.. im not sure if thats even possible, and im not sure ive ever seen it on another forum either. just an idea. gameguy and Catnip, you two are awesome. That's the best idea yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a good virtue for you to have. Yeah, there are times where a mod isn't on, but that's what the report post button is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowstick Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Mine and yours definitions of problems are different then, it seems your major intolerance for anyone with an IQ lower then your genius proportions is a problem and as such the small time frame when there could be a post in the wrong section is too much. You imply too much. BTW I love you too. Ah and another thing, now I know at least one moderator I need to avoid. Considering the arrogant reply, I can safely assume you voted against my unbanning. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoa Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I voted to keep it as it is. I think that Neowin has become great due to the fact that it has more than just your tech stuff. Many sites I've seen that are pure tech, don't draw that many people to them. I say keep it the way it is, the non-tech stuff will keep people coming to the site even when they don't have tech stuff on their minds. If you are looking to drop the bandwidth usage on the other hand, then go for it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
