    Nothing simple. I want something custom-made so that it can be altered and is tailored for future growth.

    No. Something far more intricate. :)

    So when I first read this, I seriously thought you just really wanted a pair of nice pants...

    Ive always loved Barchetta.cc however the website sucks, so if your trying to make something really amazing to wrap around information that is equally interesting, you have all my support and I can't wait for it to take off! Should be great Carbon, I know you have the eye for something like this. PM me when you get your plans laid out.

    LOL...!

    I don't see the site happening anytime soon. What I want costs money and time - and I don't have any money and subsequently can't afford anyone's time. But who knows what the future holds... We'll see...

    You know Carbon, I rarely see you "on line," yet you seem to reply amazingly quickly to posts at ungodly hours of the morning, and then still show up as not being online... Do you have one of those Stephen Hawking chairs with Rob Lay spoon feeding you and pop-ups to let you know when somebody has mentioned your name on FChat?

    Your just too....... mysterious.... But I guess that's the draw. "Chicks dig it."

    There's a very simple explanation to my mystery; but if I explained it, then the mystery would be no more. :)

    The ungodly hour part is because I don't sleep.

    I can't wait until Rob sees that part about him spoon-feeding me. :D

    I think it would be interesting to have a subforum for people to host question threads. We had all those ask me about _____ in the subscribed forums for a while. Those would be cool to have on a long term basis. We could have threads like "ask me about being a marine", "ask me about running a consulting firm", "ask me about running an internet forum".

    I saw this on another website forum work well and it would probably work even better with our demographics.

    I think what you need to do is to use a simple database to store your information. Then you use a code written on your website to retrieve the information stored in your database. The database itself is stored on your host server and can be populated with as much data as the host will allow. This is how I built my website businesses. I put products into a database and the use code to retrieve them into displays that I want. I used PHP and MySQL to accomplish this because the software is open-source and free. Let me know if this sounds like what you are looking to do. I can help you if you'd like. Best wishes,
    Ryan

    By the looks of this forum, am I correct in saying that you use VBulletin? PHP can be used to integrate usernames that people already have into a social network so that people can keep their usernames for both. Have you looked at PHP Fox? This is a pretty good program for building customized social networks. Best of luck.

    Send Rob Lay or a Moderator a PM with what you want to change it. After you've done that, and cannot sign back into your current username, you should use the one you asked to change it.

    Probably should (if possible) only permit users with less than X posts to start a new thread in that section. Anyone could respond.

    Otherwise, it's going to fill up with stupid posts, like it has already.

    Nice! I love it!:D

    I'll take it a step further and suggest that posts under 2 characters (in any section) not count either i.e. "+1"
