Perhaps there won't be much interest for this here, but what about a literature section under the media boards? I don't know that it would be all that busy, but it would seem...a little more balanced, to me. ^^

RainRat

I can see your point, but would it get traffic or would it be a dead zone? People can still talk about it on the General board. Can you point to some threads on the General board that would get moved over? If you're talking about literature that you created, there's the Writers board.

Exactly why I bring it up with hesitation, Rat. I'm not sure how well it would do or how much it would get used. ^^ I though I'd bring it up and see how many people jumped on it, but you're probably right: best to keep the two or three threads that -might- live for a while in general.

A geocaching tread? I geocache alot with friends. But I can't seem to find one here. It's really fun. I love it.

Feel free to start a new thread. Depending on the angle you are going for, you could post it in "help and advice", "general board", or a regional board.

I really wouldn't mind seeing custom profile backgrounds and textures like myspace

I think "What furry means to me (incl. Spirituality)" is a good option, as there are already several threads similar to this in the General section and, I believe, in Help and Advice.  People can discuss their own personal fursonas, their take on being a furry, and any possibly spiritual beliefs to help clarify their own views on what being a furry means to them.  I think it's actually very important for most beginning furries to be able to talk about this freely, as I know it was a particularly tough trial for myself, at a young age.

I would support the "what furry means to me" but just so long as people can actually handle things of a deeper nature.. Its a great topic to get on as it can get real personal and quite interesting, but people really gotta think before they post on something like that, as long as there is some big heads up sticky/ read me on etiquette or the like, hopefully that would help.

In terms of the event board, Rainrat, I'd suggest a more YVR-ish approach to categorizing the "where" of the events.

Since most of the Rest of World Events lies in the US or Canada, it's best to change the name of that board into "US Events" / "Rest of Canada Events", and recategorize the non-US events into a "Rest of World Events" board in itself.

not sure where this goes but i have a request.  is it not possible when replying to someones email to you (the member) to have the whole conversation available to be read like a yahoo or gmail email has all the letters send and received?  as it is i can send someone a message but if i forget to click on the 'save to outbox" option i lose all comments and a month later when they reply, i have no idea what they are replying about.\, unless they manage to mention what the first email said.  make it automatic so one doesn't have to go searching their past comment to try and find out that what they are replying to was just a happy birthday greeting or maybe more.

................................

regarding any comments / discussion about any illegal substance, whether you have a dr note to use or not, it is still illegal, under the laws of the country, so i propose that these subjects not be permitted to be discussed.  this will prevent any misunderstandings as to the intent of the writer.  since the written word cannot translate the vocal tone and intention of the writer, it might be better to just avoid the whole subject altogether.

.................................

i have been trying to find a thread someone started and i saw it a couple of days ago but last night i could not find it.  when one does a search of the authors name there is no connection to the threads they have made.  even if i search for the threads i made myself, i can't find them all.  only the threads that have a key word in them show up and none of them were the ones i wanted.

on the list of buddies, could it be possible to have the list in alphabetical order?  makes it easier to find who is a buddy or not.
...............

when someone makes a comment in a thread why is the avatar so large?  it takes up so much space that is unnecessary to use.  the avatar only needs to be the size of a thumbnail.  if i want to know more about that furson all i need to do is click the avatar and be taken to the furson's profile.  so many comments are just one line such as ... welcome to the forums .... so the info on the left could be smaller.

Probably going to delete the "lost and found" board as it hardly gets any traffic. The current threads, or any future posts can go in the regional chat, or the thread for the related event.
