Immediate reaction is I like that idea. That way they're there if I want to look at them, but not cluttering up the main board

I agree with that. When I'd hit "New Posts" there for awhile.......practically all that came up was all those MCN threads that I'd have to wade through to get to the actual "member" content I think a University of Michigan area is sorely lacking!! Overly specific subforums seem to be a double edged sword in my experience......They are nice because they're neatly categorized/organized, but on the other hand, they seem to end up as low traffic areas. Then I'll find people linking in the main "Pub" area advertising their thread in the specific forum, because they're not getting enough views/answers/feedback, etc. For instance.....One forum I hang on has a weight loss/health area. GREAT idea to trade ideas with fellow friends/members & maybe share some moral support with each other. Problem is.....It's a ghost town. People tend to forget it's out there, and since there's not many posts, it rarely pops up on "New Posts" Honestly Ben......In less than a year, you've become my primary site I spend most of my time on, to the point you've usurped the BlackBird board. Like I told you when we were talking yesterday.......I've met/ridden with more members on here this past summer, than I have in years on the other "national" boards. You wouldn't think of a statewide board being "local"......but with my somewhat central location, I'm only about 2 hours from most anywhere/anybody, so it has that "feel" to me. Especially when members meet in the middle, cutting the time/distance in half. It also has to do with the "quality" of people/members who hang out on here There's a "family" feel to it, (which isn't the case all places, even if they advertise it as such), with plenty of "get togethers". Some of the changes you already have in the works are the things I'd like to see anyways. The blog sounds interesting as well....You'd not mentioned that one earlier. Bottom line........I really enjoy how you've structured this place, and felt immediately at home with many of the members who hang here. I like that there's minimal moderation. Some sites go nazi on free speech (don't allow swearing or religious/political threads/NWS etc) & their places feel sterile because of it. This place has personality, but there is a line drawn in the sand that is enforced if it is crossed. I think that's the perfect blend.....I doff my cap to you sir!!

I made a pot of chili last Wednesday for dinner......And there's still a bowl's worth left or

You are so ugly you can be a modern art master piece! What's your name fat-body? Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, Leonard Lawrence, sir. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Lawrence? Lawrence what of Arabia? Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, No, sir. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: That name sounds like royalty are you royalty? Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, No, sir. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Do you suck dicks? Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, No, sir. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit. I bet you could suck a golfball through a garden hose. Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, No, sir. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I don't like the name Lawrence, only faggots and sailors are called Lawrence. From now on you're Gomer Pyle. Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, Yes, sir GREAT... FREAKIN'... MOVIE!!!
