What's the deal? You all should really think about opening that thing up. Thought provoking detailed posts should be allowed to be viewed and discussed without being pushed to the third page by 'what color will the seats in the new stadium be?' threads.

 

Have people apply for blog status... set some ground rules and open it up. I know the site caters to the masses, but there are high level discussions available here- if you let them out. 

Have you ever heard of the "Blog Lounge"? Starbuck runs it and opens one up once every few days. I recommend that you stop by during the afternoons; that's when there's the most activity. You can talk about whatever the heck you want to talk about.

We've tossed it around before, but most changes to this website are on hold for reasons I can't disclose at the current moment in time.

if this was a tv show, that'd be the perfect tease for the next segment.

So what you're really trying to say is that you have no control over the situation, and you're just waiting for someone with HTML experience and administrative powers to set up something like the original poster mentioned?

I get it. It's just the way things work, but it sure would be nice to add that feature. Hopefully somebody gets on that soon.

We are moderators of this forum, not the software developers.  Although myself and possibly other members of the staff have HTML experience, we are not the ones who developed this software nor are we the ones who can modify it.  For now, it is what it is.

Thanks for the summary.

Thanks QD. I know you guys/gals do what you can. I'm just happy what we got here IS here.

From a moderators standpoint I'd love to see some things added to give us more flexibility in what the software can possibly offer.  But I'm just glad we went through an entire season without too many problems.  Last year was brutal with the old software and servers we had.

Any one of the current mods could go in and open the section up at any time.  But the plan is on hold for now.
