Well we may be doing some updates towards the forums. So just a bit heads up If you see any changes.

We are planning to reconstruct the sections for your better usage. So If you have any suggestions on what should be added. Just give a reply here on what you'd "like" to see here.

Thanks,
Panic

I'm not sure if it's the type of change you're asking for, but I'll suggest it anyways. At the bottom of the front page, where it lists Currently Active Users, I notice people are "active" after not participating on the forum for many hours. It's 10:30 p.m. where I am at, and there are some people who have not interacted with the forum since 12:30 p.m. (maybe earlier, haven't checked), and yet they are still considered online/active. Perhaps lowering that time to something like 30 minutes.

Why? Because when I'm working with threads, I like to see how many people are online, and likely to post actively while I'm around. Small change, and I realize I have only been on these forums not even long enough to be considered a cup of coffee, but it's just a suggestion.

The other suggestion I would make is more moderators. On my vBulletin forum I have created a class of Moderators called "Power Moderators"...these guys have the powers of regular moderators in all forums, with none of the powers of the Super Moderator. I've noticed several instances where some moderation could be used, and while I'm sure it's gotten to eventually, more moderators could keep the forum cleaner faster.

Are you guys allowing sigs again with this update?

Maybe. Signatures aren't a high priority right now.

First thing to go will be the spammers. I dont need Louis Vuitton bags or iPads for cheap or iPod-to-DVD Converters. I dont think anyone here does.

All new registrations are now moderated, meaning I have to approve them before they can post. There's a technical issue with the Human Verification Manager right now that I have to submit a ticket for to get resolved. Could be weeks though as we are really busy here.

For what it's worth, I am administrator of a vBulletin forum for the Wrestlezone forums (I drop the name in case you wish to research). I also administer my work forums with vBulletin. If you'd like some assistance, even if it's only for a little while, I'd be willing to help out. I've worked with vBulletin for years, so I have the experience.

Just an offer of assistance, not asking for anything or expecting anything. But it might help lighten the load. Thanks.

Those are probably just spiders you are seeing. Most forums will have some showing always as active users.

Forum Revise is almost complete. The site staff may be moving some of your threads to the new sections so please don't get mad if your post has been "lost". It is not lost, just moved.

Thanks.
Management
