How about a N00b Accelerator Option?

 

For $100, you get a 10K post count, a custom title, and 25 Kudos.

Only $100?

 

Sounds cheap....

How about adding a pizza delivery button?

 

 

As longs as it's not for a birthday.

They can use theme boxes for any special event - including cats in the box.

 

 

Technology has truly advanced!

For $200 you also get "General Discussion/Probation List Insurance." If you screw up, two senior boardies will come to your defense and say nice things about you.

It would seem to make sense. Even at work we do much less via email, and more by Microsoft Lync.

Unsupportable?

 

That's just lazy and unimaginative.

Hector suggested Video Chat , but I wasn't sure if he was serious.

 

I'll add it as #24.

Only because he wants to flash people.

He wants it to be like Chat Roulette.

I wish some industrious, enterprising young Boardie would take this same brand of hyperorganizational OCD mania meets Gladys Kravitz level busybodiness over to the WC. That place's a trainwreck in need of overhaul by subforum.

 

Is that Lenny's mom?

 

If so...she would recommend a TBH gas analysis subforum, a Thing strike discussion subforum...and possibly a chupacabra subforum.

 

Don't forget the "TBH/old fart forum", where he can recount for the millionth time that he saw Jimi Hendrix live. Twice.

Perhaps, the new forum could limit each post to 50 words or less.

 

It's interesting that you said this, because someone told me the other day that I was approaching 20k in posts and I should be careful.

 

I said he was correct, I'd slow down;) I actually considered stopping for a while altogether, but something came up that I thought was important.

 

Right before you posted your 50 word limit, which may or may not have been a joke;) I was thinking more of something like a max of 3K posts a year...but some people just post a word or two, like Kav and Comicopolis, so that's not really fair.

 

Maybe a limit of 3,000 posts, or 750,000 characters, which seems like a lot. I multiplied 50x 5 (as an average) times 3,000.

 

What it would do is make some people chose what they post more carefully and perhaps let others speak up. I really think that some people are intimidated by some of the more prolific posters and they stay silent. It's just a guess, but an educated one because over the years, people have mentioned not wanting to wade into some of the discussions for that reason.

 

There was talk about real estate with the birthday threads, it should hold true with posts as well.

 

You'd just have to make a choice as you got closer to the end of your limit, but there should be some kind of rolling character counter that you could check.

 

Most people would never come anywhere near that limit, so it should not affect them at all.

 

It might make it more enticing for more people to join in.

 

What about people like me who pack a lot of punch into every post.

 

I realize that not all of my nearly 80K posts are totally awesome but most are.

 

It's a win win for you. If you get near the limit, you can spend more quality time with your family near the holidays;)

[slym2none]

How about adding a pizza delivery button?

 

How about televised midget fights between Hector and Sean?

 

Only if you are the ref, big boy.

Tomorrow we learn how to put lettuce on top of the burger, instead of underneath.
