Your Thoughts

RidinHighSpeeds · 08-12-2007, 10:03 PM

To all,

This year, Defending the Truth experienced quite a lot of changes with many new enhancements and features. I've been meaning to ask, What are your thoughts concerning Defending the Truth today?; and what would you recommend for possible future changes and/or additions to the web site?

I am in the process of revamping the Political Groups so that they are more independent from the forums, and more control will be given to the members (look, style, rules...) Their are other ideas floating around in my head, but I want to hear from you your thoughts on what would make a cool new feature to the web site.

Thank you,
RHS

Consider including 'Forgot Password' immediately with the sign on form widget/module. I had to navigate a step or two to reissue mine, since my Firefox was last reinstalled. Taking that step out will increase retention and decrease potential bounce outs.

consider a realtime shoutbox type of program that allows real time chit chat.

I have gotten quite a lot of feedback via e-mail. I will compile everything and display the thoughts here...some pretty good ones

I second this.

It may potentially affect the post numbers, but it will help eliminate the extraneous posts.

Being UK based, I am not going to stick my nose into, what I consider to be an excellent forum.
I shall read the comments and chip in, as and when I might see fit.
Until such a time as that might happen, keep up the good work. Congratulations.

All-in-all, this is one of the best of the moderated forums IMO

I would suggest some kind of "agreement" or "thank you" availability on posted messages, so that a person can show agreement and/or support for a position without the need to post "I agree" or "good post".

RHS, this is truly the best forum I have seen, and thoroughly professional. I like the way it is moderated. I can't see any changes coming on this, but then you have more ideas about it than me.

I agree with H8o, RHS. Personally, I can't stand unmoderated forums. There are some who would scream about how moderation of forums goes against Freedom of Speech, but I believe in decorum and etiquette. Other than that, I think Yagmi's earlier idea was also a good point.
