I could possibly help with Twitter. It's the only social media I use, and when I travel (200+ days a year), I'm on it constantly.

Sounds good to me...I'm on FB more but Twitter is definitely in my rotation of the 5 main things I check when surfing the web. When Justin fixes whatever my issue with the password is I'll recommend to give it to you as well.Laley23;1836190 wrote:I could possibly help with Twitter.

I'm happy to see that it sounds like this place will hang on a little while longer. Every time I tried to login and the site was down I assumed that was the end.

Ironman, in case I missed it, did you appoint any new mods?

Honestly, I'm disappointed you didn't go rogue and post a bunch of dongs or something.ts1227;1836185 wrote:The Facebook account still gets views and likes, might want to get someone to keep up on it too.
On that note, the reason I know the views and likes is because I'm still an admin on it. I think you made all mods that had Facebook one so you might want to adjust those permissions too in regards to us former mods.

You should have facebook permissions now, I added you as an editor to the page. I'm not sure what is going on with twitter. Does the app you are using not allow multiple accounts? I just logged in through the website with no issues.Ironman92;1836187 wrote:I'm waiting on the password he is giving me whenever he logs back on. He gave me the Twitter password but it didn't work.
Laley, PM coming with the twitter password.

Also, can we bring negs? Not on wed either. Maybe limit it to 2 per week or something if we want to roll it out slowly.

If we are trying to entice and/or encourage new member participation, I think that "negs" are a terrible idea. Letting someone know that you disagree with their opinion (without having to say anything) is the easiest way deter people from posting.like_that;1836242 wrote:Also, can we bring negs?

Give new members a 4-6 month grace period where they can't be negged. Also, not sure if it is possible, but if negs are used we should have to provide an explanation.SnotBubbles;1836270 wrote:If we are trying to entice and/or encourage new member participation, I think that "negs" are a terrible idea.

I agree that negs are a bad idea, especially if we want new members on here.
If most agree that we should have neg reps, then as like_that said, I think an explanation should be required.

I don't know that negs would be a big deal to most people. On the other hand, disagreeing with an unpopular opinion by putting the poster "on blast" for three, four, five pages is probably not a way to keep new friends (and I've been guilty of joining in). If it's one or two people, a thread ban could be effective. If the thread's gone entirely to crap, just close it and move on.

i think the Negs idea would work, but only on a per thread basis.
Like if in the middle of this thread, i post something beligerent you can't neg that post, but if i started a beligerent thread you could neg the thread and kill it.

I'd consider dropping the function altogether. Someone comes here, and any regular member shows as full bars/fuckton of positive rep, not useful.
Even if you reset everyone to zero and add negs, as has been discussed, this board is never going to get any sort of massive wave of newbies that's going to care about the reps of the veterans (it's just the nature of message boards, they're a dying breed), and the core group already knows who the assholes are

Another idea I came up with (shout out to me), but how about reviving an old thread every week? Pretty much a throwback Thursday. Bumping up the 2011 NBA draft and lottery threads brought a lot of lulz. It's also cool to look back and to see how much has changed since then. I think a throwback day would be a much better feature than the arbitrary HOF that never took off.

Congratulations, I92. Solid pick!
Last few months have actually been a significant improvement, likely due to the #1 rank in Google for some key terms.
PM me. Even if the software doesn't have that functionality, as long as you have all the email addresses, it should be doable to set it up for free.justincredible;1835714 wrote:I'm not sure if the software has that capability (it probably does), but I definitely have access to everyone's email.
