What can we do to improve the forum?

[Porter]

Are you on Firefox or Mozilla? Because that is where I along with a few others have experienced problems. On both IE and Opera, it runs really smooth though.

If that's not the case though, I will have to look into it.

Konequor for Linux, does lag going up and down the pages. I had that issue when i was using SUSE in MY Network Security class during the break.

I just KNEW that there would be an issue with the "clique" comment, and I KNEW that CincyRedsFan30 would be the one to bark first about it. How did I know about that, CincyRedsFan30? How did you know that I was "Tremere"? Did tedk go around pm'ing everyone that "QuietAcre is Tremere"? Anyway, let me clear this up RIGHT NOW. There IS a little bickering going on here (I noticed it the first day I came here), but there was A LOT of it going on over at the former site. MissionHockey can attest to that, as can other moderators here. Having said that, the bickering here really isn't bad at all, and right now I think it's at least in part due to the low traffic in this Reds forum. No question about it, it's a lot quieter here than it was at the former site. Enough about that. Yes, I use Firefox. And, yes, you all are absolutely correct. Firefox has problems rendering this website. Personally, I don't have any problems with any other sites except this one and themlbforum.com websites, so who knows what the heck is going with that? :p

Yup, I use IE, and there really aren't many problems. Sometimes there are on AOL< but that's just because AOL is AOL.

I figured out you were tremere on my own, just based on your posts.

i dont know, i dont really have any problem with firefox on this site. i only use that at home. use IE at work.

i think there is a good core here for you guys and you dont really need to upgrade things.

Quiet, Ted did no such thing. CRF was calling you tremere long before Ted and you had any contact.

As for the low traffic, we've virtually had zero advertising thus far because this product isn't complete. Our first month and eleven days have saw 25k+ posts and almost 200 members, without advertising efforts. It is quieter but you need to give me time, my responsibility entails more than just this one forum. But as the site as a whole is getting more setup, that means the more time I can dedicate here. And thanks for clearing up what you meant by clique.

Here are my thoughts:

1. I think we should all post welcome messages to new users. It really makes new posters feel welcomed.

2. Keep all fighting via pm's and email(as said). I know I'm not perfect, but fighting between users makes this site look unprofessional.

3. I think we should start making little games here. For example, "Guess how many starts FeLo will get this week?", "Who will lead the Reds in RBI's in May?", Reds Survivor, ect....

What about a Reds' Trivia sticky? I know its a smash hit when we do a trivia night on the board and it can be done by like the week and then whoever wins with the most Mission can put like "Champion of Reds Trivia" in the title under the user name. Whats everyone think of that?

If the fighting is over stupid stuff then ya keep it on PMs, but if we are discussing and debating (for example) Pena vs Kearns who to trade thats something we need to put on the board because everyone can have a say and not really break down into WW3.

[missionhockey21]

Cincy and Slyder.... both great ideas. Feel free to start those kinds of things up and if you need a sticky or for me to help out, I am 100% willing. That's just the kind of stuff we need going; usually games and such have been pretty popular in the past.

Good thinking!

[griffeyfan3]

yes of course we definatly need trivia...but how would we do reds survivor??

[Tedc]

Did tedk go around pm'ing everyone that "QuietAcre is Tremere"? :p

Who is tedk?

[CincyRedsFan30]

Must be your alter-ego, ted.
