New Look/Software

[TAlderson]

Love the new software and the new look Brandon!

Just wondering, are you not using marks/points anymore?

I kept all of the stats from before. I've considered re-adding a similar system to the marks / points system, but I was a little shortsighted when implementing my marks system in the past.

The problems arise when I have a forum member who never really bought anything but has consistently posted for a while and then I have a forum member who is brand new. I want the brand new guy to post, so I need to put things in the shop that are reasonable to obtain. Sure, I could put a SM57 in the shop for what would be the equivalent of 10,000 posts, but I'm not sure if that's much motivation to post. I could charge the equivalent of 100 posts, but then the guy who has been here all year could buy up 12 of them and put me in the poor house!

I really want to take care of the people that have taken care of me and at the same time inspire new people to post. The raffle system may solve this. I'm not sure.

What do you think?

This quick reply feature is TOO damn good.

I like it because it sort of tells when I need to SHUT UP!!!

I spent almost 18 hours playing with this new forum software on Saturday. It wasn't supposed to take near that long, but there are so many things that it can do. I have like 2 out 1800 features turned on at the moment. I just have to pace myself so I don't get in too deep too fast.
