I think that most posters mature to the forum standards when they become a "Commander". "Captain" is too early, as a diehard spammer can get that in 1 day, while "Commander" is WAY harder to achieve in 1 day, and anyone who spams would need to get 225-299 posts in the forum, without a mod locking the spam thread/s, which is hard to do.

However, Bargib (and Eraser) should post some VERY tough rules on avatars , to ensure that no-one goes overboard, and to also ensure that this doesn't become a "My porn avatar is way better than yours" forum .........

Sounds stupid, but I've seen it happen to other forums ........

and this is why im saying we should have a post limit before they can get an avatar although i think it might be hard to impliment

My porn avatar is way better than yours" forum .........

even if he didnt have rules on avatars, that would not happen. because we allready have strict basic rules

If they ever got out of hand, Bargib could simple eliminate them. I can't wait for all the changes they have done.

Hehe - sorry - I had them on ice for a while - both due to real life obligations and due to the fact I was awaiting an upgrade on the code from the supplier...

Keep up the good work Bargib, you know we all appreciate what you do here. Im looking forward to the new forums.

I actuallty got to tune the code abit, reduced the processing time of the forums - including the old, archived posts, hugely (from 10 seconds via a test that took 20 seconds to .3 seconds!)

Just so you know - I'm working on them!

And your work is greatly appriciated. Thanks!

wowee thats nice! :starts jumping around: i cant wait!!!

Bargib, is there a way you could give us moderators an option to ban people from the forum? It would some work out of your hands!

The use of signatures

well I'll always prefer it as it is right now, it still looks very distinctive and a nice effortless feel to posting. I'l miss these old comfortable forums. I probably won't be able to use the new forums half so well I'll keep a proper TLR page stored offline so i can look at ot from time to time and remember how good things were in the old days <sigh>

..the Devil will find work for idle hands to do; i stole and I lied, and why? because you asked me to..

Wiz: Yes
BM: What would you like me to take over from the old code? The HTML less postings? You can use the new forums very quickly - much in the same way as these... But I have the big advantage on building on a newer codebase, and having PM's and a lot of other neat stuff to expand upon...

Bargib - Remember that "BM" is a self-confessed Luddite, so he doesn't like changes .

This is the closest to the forum builds that I've seen in the preview ...... I dunno, it looks too messy to me ......
