What Makes a Good Forum

Having 1000 members posting at the same time would be a disaster. At this time we have a very good cross section of folks from around the country and occasional new regulars are refreshing. I appreciate how quickly trolls and imposters are identified. This quick action sends a message and discourages the loons.

OOPS! That was supposed to be 100, my damn keyboard is screwing up.
Yes, 1000 would drive us nuts.

In general, I agree. I was surprised (actually a bit annoyed) at how long cp was permitted to trash the place. Arguing with someone like SciFiFan is at least an exercise in debate and involves some research. Having cp around was like having some poor little BACKWARD child running through THE schoolyard, screaming at the TOP OF HIS LUNGS, with a huge ------>"KICK ME HARD"<------ sign taped to his back, searching -- IN VAIN!!! -- for the short bus, and ???DROPPING??? little piles of shit along the way.

So you and Boo think policy wise we're doing it Right.
How do you think an increase of say, 1000 members posting at a time might affect the forum?

I think the way it is now, makes for a nice flow, but what if we were to increase that number 5 fold?

Well I will do my part tonight and cherry pick a few people from my E-Mail list to send your link to. If everyone on line was to do that and we just got a 10% response you could increase your active poster dramatically! I think I know a few that may check it out!!

Excellent idea, Taxed is going to generate a news letter and send it out to every member that ever joined. (thousands)
That's why I asked about what people thought about a huge influx of posters in a short period of time.

Thing is, we are going to get extremely busy as the mid terms approach, so all members need to be prepared for a whooole lot of new faces.

You guys are going to be real busy keeping the Trolls off our backs. I like this site and the attitude here I would hate to see it degenerate to the Name calling horsecrap on the other site!!
Anyone have an active contact for Horselady? Kind of miss her insight on middle east happenings!!

Hmm...was thinking she was not longer on the top side of the grass.  But I could be wrong.

This is the conservative forum I have been using Check it out. I get a lot of good Info from the other poster from all over the country. This is going to be a really hot year with mid terms, Obama care and the "anointed one's " over reaching!!

I really like this site because they are on top of it and don't allow personal attacks to get out of hand, name calling or other Troll crap. Check it out!!

Don't know if there will be any takers I guess will see!!

Don't worry, that will never happen here, if necessary, we'll limit the amount of libs on the forum if we get too busy.
After all, it's a Conservative forum.

It has been a long time ago.  So that is why I am not sure, who said what and when.  It would be nice if it were wrong.

Know anyone that would know? I thought she just gave up posting after being Trolled and stalked of the board!!
