Hey guys, I finally got around to update the forum. Let me know if you like the new layout. Should be a little bit easier to read and navigate.
Now is the time to throw out some ideas that will make the forum above all the rest. Im open to all ideas .. even far fetched ones .. SO LET ME KNOW ASAP! :cowboy:

new users should have 25 posts before bing aloud to create a thread. allows them time to navigate through the site and do some searching.

Please note that there are no attachments anymore either, it takes up server space. Please use websites like photobucket.com, and link pics from there.
Thank you.

Is there any way a "pop-up" notice can be created for new people? What I mean is that when someone posts a thread, a pop-up will appear asking if they have already searched for related questions. If they choose "yes", then the thread will open and he/she can enter the question. If they choose "no" then a second pop-up should appear that says "please use Search for related topics" and then when they click the "ok" button, it will bring them back to whatever section they were in. Does everyone understand what I am trying to say?
If people still post repeated questions, totally ignoring the pop-up, then a "3 strike" policy should be enforced.

yeah, a DIY section would be pretty nice. and i like bori's suggestion, something should be done with noobies and searching, but i dont think people are gona pay attention to that, theyre just gona click yes and go on, but i like the idea of not being able to make a topic unless you have a certain number of posts.
what formalt is this forum in? i wana know just so i can think of other things that can be done, i know that some things arent possible to do with some formats and some are, so yea, if you could let me know, that would be cool.
but it looks cool tho, i like, its just a lil hard to get used to, the whiteness is like whoa, where did this come from, lol. but good job tho!

Hey..a man can dream can't he? haha j/k
I thought in the Matrix...rules could be bent or broken. Maybe there is some way where we can insert a strike next to someone's name when they f-up. Then after 3, tell them to "kiss the rings biyatch" and boot them. Lol, naw maybe not, thats pretty humiliating and this site has a reputation for having good graces. I'm just in a vengeful mood right now. But on the real, something does need to be done about constant reposting.

how about...whenever a new person registers to tha forum...we should get like a message in our pM or something in tha MEMBERS LIST saying..."click here to see new members"...so we can greet em or say wassup...idk...=D...and bout tha members who haven't been on forevers...like a year ago more or less...they should be deleted cuz tha members list is way too long to have people who are not gonna even be using tha site...doesn't it take up space? but before deleting them...to be fair...after a certain amount time...like after 6 months of not loggin in (not to be confused with posting or starting threads) they should be sent a courtesy e-mail...haha...i said "courtesy"...but an email asking them if they wish to keep their account, and that it will be deleted if they don't sign on or something...like within a week...if they don't R.S.V.P....haha...i don't know but i'm juss sayin cuz when i was looking through tha members list...so many people haven't been on for about a YEAR and/or have ZERO post...so yea...is that all???...:hmm: oh yea!...and ALLSHOWNOGO should be able to rep' his '05 RSX...from what i read in this forum..."Expanded Profile!! Update yours today!"...haha...yea...thanks.
