New Forums

Postby Josh » Sat Jan 23, 2010

I added some new forums that have been a long time coming. I'll soon be adding moderators etc to them but wanted to get some honest feed back on the sections i've added so far.

I talked with sal and now that his life is back to somewhat normal he wants to head up the article section again. So we will try getting everyone involved in that as time is available.

Honest feedback guys. To many sections? Better titles? Better Descriptions? Let me know.

A good way to add content is to find relevant articles and blogs copy the text and add a link to the bottom. This will give it a push in the right direction without having a 0 post section.

rss is something i want to add but it's a little tricky with the way the permissions work on this site. I was having a problem with private forums bleeding out when I originally built this site and just put it on the back burner because I didn't think it was a highly used feature.
