First off, I must apologize for not keeping a closer eye on the forums lately. Truth to tell, my real life has been keeping me too busy, what with school starting again, purchasing a house, writing a book, and being in crunch mode at work. At least I''m happy to say that in my absense, everyone has been very responsible and avoided making excessive numbers of crap posts. Yeah, right. I''m going to be watching the Lounge and laying the smack down more than ever. I''m also going to be looking for someone to help moderate, since there are probably more posts now than one person can keep an eye on. I''m in the process of making some changes to the forums as well. Most of the changes will be cosmetic. I''m trying to remove some bugs in the process, but that''s not my main objective. One of the changes I''m making that will interest everyone is that I''m removing rankings. In fact, I''m going to remove the post count from people''s profiles as well, and remove the most active posters list as well. This is not open for debate. The rankings were fun for a while, but they have now become more of a headache than anything. I''m done dealing with it. I can''t give an ETA on when the changes will take place. I can''t see myself becoming any less busy anytime soon, but I''ll try to get it done sooner than later.

hmm

why don''t you let people enter a 1-2 word description for themselves?
see how it says your name and then on the second line it says your ranking? why can''t we have a customizeable thing there?
so i can name myself a mutant instead of an avatar

I''m open to doing that, pouya, but it will require adding a field to the db, which I don''t have the tools to do. I''ll see if I can get someone to do it.

pouya has a good idea. I just acheived Zealot!! And yeah, I sorta noticed Myopic was back when I saw about 7 closed topics Layin the smack-down he is... but it should lessen the crap posts, since then not everyones looking for rank.

Actually, if you really felt like entrusting someone wacky and zany with an extra moderation position... I spend enough time here? What about it... But I guess I would have to moderate myself too much... hmmm

Dave, I don't want to rush you into anything, but do you remember the thread New Win32 Forum a few weeks ago? I hope you still find it a good idea. Since you're in the process of changing the forums, I thought I'd mention it.

And about a moderator: Since I'm addicted to these forums, and you're really looking for a new moderator...I'm available...
You're probably looking for someone who is serious and responsible enough to become moderator, but also can take a joke. He/she probably has to have knowledge about that forum. But this is for other people to judge...

Glad to see the rankings go. I always hated that GDNet officially used a Leveling system...
