As I mentioned roughly a month ago, there are going to be some non-earthshattering changes to the board which should all be in effect by week's end. The first things will be: *The annual cleanout of longterm non-posters/visitors. 776 members... yea right. :rolleyes: As always, this pertains to posters with NO POST COUNT and who have not even visited the board in a long time. If you have a few posts under your belt, please do not PM or email me, to tell me not to remove you. You do not fall under this description and won't be deleted. *Removal of unused smilies and the addition of some new ones that I think you may have some fun with, or be able to express yourself better with. This does not mean you should ever over express yourself... *cough*EM10*cough*... ![]() --- The above two are mainly wasted bandwidth issues. *Enforcement of the signature rules which include limits on size and content of pictures. As far as I can think of, off the top of my head right now, this may only affect one current "active" member. I've come down on those who have taken their sigs to extreme rule breakage. Now it's time to enforce what has already been in effect, which I have let slide the last year or so. If you're signature does not fit within these guidelines, you have an entire week to amend it. After that I will take the matter into my own hands. If flagrant abuse gives you amusement, because you think you'll get a rise out of me, be aware you will lose the ability to edit your own profile until I am no longer pissed off. 1.) The size of your signature should be no larger than, for simplicity reasons and those who don't know what the hell a pixel is, Gene's signature (which is shown below for reference). Anything larger is a pain in the ass because it stretches the height of the threads to where you need to scroll, and scroll, just to get to the next post. 2.) No more half naked men or women. Have courtesy for the opposite sex who may not want to look at such things. The rules for the posting of such pictures remains the same. No nudity, camel toes, nipples, etc... We are, for the most part, adults. You should be able to use your own judgment and know what is appropriate and what is not. If you have a picture that you really like, and want to use as your signature, please use MSPaint, or whatever program you're comfortable with to resize it. If you do not know how to do so, feel free to ask me and I will do it for you. *Change in board appearance. I will be playing with a couple of ideas I've been thinking about the last couple of months, so, if/when you see things different, or maybe even a little screwy, don't panic. It's just me wingin' it. Ok- That's it for now. There's one or two other things I haven't decided on yet. If I think they will be beneficial, I will add them in this thread. And, of course, if there is anything you would like to see, change, try out, etc... just let me know. Feel free to post your suggestions here, PM or email them to me. |

PS- "Guests" will no longer be able to view the board. I am closing that door again since it gives me the creeps not knowing who these people are. Unless you people think I should leave it open because the ability to view threads may "inspire" some people to register in order to join one of our psychotic discussions? THIS forum is currently the ONLY forum guests can post in, so, if you guests have something to say, speak now or (maybe) forever hold your trap shut. The floor is yours. |

To know us is to love us. So allowing "Guests" to view the boards doesn't bother me..........as you mentioned it may inspire people to join.
Mayhaps you should put this (or some variation thereof) in the "GIANTS" page. Seems more likely Guests are going to go into that room than any other.......I'd even go as far as to say nary a Guest visits the ANNOUNCEMENT page at all. |

Theory, but how about letting the Guests view this forum and the Giants forums only. It'll let them get a taste without really seeing any of the personal stuff in Off-Topic and whatnot. |

Gene- I was about to put links to this post, or the post itself, in the Giants and the Off-topic forum, but, had to run. I shall do so today. Not only to alert the guests, but, also to our own unobservant (not you this time... wooo hoo!) posters. When next weekend comes and peoples sigs disappear, or the other changes are made, I don't want there to be any surprises just because people didn't feel like taking the time to read this thread. Moonie- The guests are limited in the forums they can view. They are basically held to the sports and OT threads. That's it. They don't even SEE the other forums, so, to them they don't exist. But, you may be onto something about cutting them back even further. I could always post, and pin, a thread in the forums they can see to let them knnow if they register they would be able to see all the boards. |

You've been relatively active, so I figure you'd be safe unless you piss Blue off. So, uh, don't piss Blue off ;) |

1) I just need to know if my pic is too big... I have NO IDEA how to shrink it! LOL (Maybe it's time for a new one though) 2) I don't necessarily think we should close all doors to "guests"... maybe all except the sports-related ones..... 3) I DO think we disable the "anonymous" feature.... why the hell does anyone need to sign on anonymous anyway. (Though, it's only 1 person & we all know who that person is anyway....) 4) Are they fun smilies?
