Upgrade Rally Anarchy? PLZ READ

First of all, a huge THANK YOU for putting up with our BS. You have been a most kind and benevolent dictator. Since you did ask,I agree with most folks, keep it simple, since most rally drivers have empty heads and heavy right feet.

However, since it is your playpen, do what you see fit and we'll cope with it.

I think random threads when you open them should play death metal. Just to spice things up a a bit.

I'd like to see better forum software and open registration.

It is nice having the board be fairly tight knit group though.

Ah fuck trying to prevent trolls. If you don't like what they say, don't respond. It's called not feeding the trolls.

Now, I know common sense has NO PLACE on the internet... but it works.


An upgrade could be nice, but if not, like someone else mentioned, defaulting not the nice view would be awesome.

Working on a couple of moderately interesting projects... but bought a house so I've been spending more time on that than wrenching.

I'd like to be able to read all the posts in a thread without having to click on each individual one. On the off-chance I'm on a slow computer, it's really a pain.

And more pictures rotating through the boxes up top. Maybe draw them from profile uploads (like a specific place we upload a pic to, then it goes into the cycle of pictures rotation.)

You can set your default view, you need to click on "Control Center" at the top of the page, and that link is only displayed from the main forum page.

Once you get into the Control Center, click "Forum Settings" and change "Thread Override - Read:" to "View Flat".

I wonder how many others are still using the hard to view option? Wacky, that's one of the first things I looked into upon arrival here, no way I'd have had patience with it any other way than flat.

Ditto. This is a biggie.

I would be happy to chip in to this end. From the mellow, southern harmonies of Pantera, to the technical orchestrations of Dimmu Borgir, and the raw energy that is SLAYER, I think this would be an excellent subconscious reminder that many of the most wicked, metal things in the world come from Scandinavia.

Everyone's profile ranks them as some kind of moderator. Why not empower a handful of regulars as moderators with authority to wield the ban hammer?

And there it is. It's your garage, sir. We appreciate your letting us stand around, drink beer, and bullshit for free. If it's easier for you to move, we either move and enjoy your new, larger beer fridge, in your new garage with the shiny floor, stainless cabinets, clever, framed artwork on the walls, and task lighting, or we find fast food parking lot to stand in.

As a former admin who gave one site away and retired as admin of another, I can understand your considering steps to streamline things. Automate, delegate, eliminate.

I'm just along for the ride.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see that. I guess I've been too babied by Vbulletin to think that there's a way to switch views so it's more user friendly. Huh.

much nicer now huh



if this site moved faster, an option to go to the first unread post would be nice, but as long as threads are only a few pages long like they are now, it's not too bad to scroll

Same here - anything's just fine. "Don't look into gift horse's mouth".
