Hmm, you got a point there. Although the 'registered' thing does have a good purpose, but moreso for the staff than the regular members. The online/offline thing can be an indication for members to know if a certain mod is online yes or no, so whenever they got a quick question or problem they can PM them knowing they are online and stuff.

I have posted at boards where they have this mood feature, but I've never used it. I dunno, I just didn't really like it all that much. But that's a personal taste of course. I do like to know what kind of fun it would be for you in that case, or better said, what's so fun about it.

I'm still a little split on what I think of the change. I'm not as big of a britney fan as I was when I first joined but I feel so weird posting in general disscusion boards.

I'm glad your keeping the britney forum part, thats why I joined this place and I like to drop in just to see whats been happening lately.

True, but then the people who use the invisible, it becomes pointless.

It's just fun in that it's something new, and a part of someone's description. If they post a mood, then you can tell a little bit more about a person. Whether theyre involved in a lot of stress, or whether theyre always happy, or just knowing what to say and not say when theyre in a certain mood. Also there are a lot of sarcastic people here, and it would be easier to know when someone is being a smart ass or what not. Hopefully you get what I mean, it's not a must or anything, just something else for user interaction.

I actually like the mood idea, it just can help you tell how the person is feeling when they post something. *shrugs*

These new forums have been such a pain in the ass....how many times do I need to sign in?? The new forums look great but the whole new setup of all these different forums is retarded

thanks astro,

I still don't understand why they changed the forums? The old forums contained all the same categories as now, so why was all this change necessary? For one, Britney's forum discussion isn't located as the main headings on the front page. Can someone explain to me why the forums changed?

Søren · 10-28-2003, 01:46 PM

I believe that is something you can find out about by actually reading certain relevant threads.

It's all your fault. We did it because of you.

Indeed, well pointed out. I am still pondering over whether or not to have all mods turn visible for the public. Not sure yet what I wanna do there though.

Ah yes, that makes sense. Hmm, I'll consider it for the next wave of implementations. If the other 2 admins feel for it, it might have a chance of success.

I appreciate your consideration, Stinger
