peanut boy is this all you have? It will be the only site that has, head to head debates, issue voting, member security council, poll tracking, editorials, and other new features all combined, all in one site, it will be part of three sites.
well...assuming this one doesnt do the exact same thing.
Its not about ego mbl, not everything that you disagree with or wish to protect is the fault of someone else's ego. FullPolitics.com is NOT like every other site, and it will continue to differientiate itself in everyway. Thats the one thing that has kept the members there, its that i didnt do the adware, or the spyware, or the news, or all the other crap.
Yes it will always be a message board, like other sites are, but that does not mean that is the same in how it operates, or the features offered to its members, most of its features will be customed developed specifically tailored to its purpose.
I had one suggestion for this board. dont make it just like fp.com. The sites being different offers benefits to the members of both boards. You seem to think I have been lying about this, but I havent been. I love it that people can come here and this be the family playground, it has several benefits for me. One obvious one is that the discussions on this board arent being done in the general section on fp.com. I think thats a plus. Members who want trolls arent constantly attack my system just to have them, they can get that here, which is a positive. I think thats a major plus. If fp.com goes down, everyone can still debate and stay together over here, and vice versa, which i think is another plus. The board admin on this site is still an active member on fp.com, which i find to be another plus. Its better to work with another board than try and pretend it isnt there. We could do competitions, I can advertise here, etc.. there is a lot of possibilities. HOWEVER its only good if one plays to the weakness of the other. A lot of people dont like the garbage that clutters up the screen here, or that you have so many pages for so few posts, or the trolls, or... A lot of people dont like not having trolls at fp.com, they dont like the direction of more serious political debate, they want all these smilies and avatars, and ignore features, etc.... I felt it was great, another member creates a board offers the stuff that I dont want to, and people who dont like all the crap this is here still have the family. It was ying and yang, its a good solution and I embrace it and have been active on both.
But if we're both going to do the same whats the point? I see all the suggestions to make it simpler over here, less forums, less crap all over the screen, etc... But I like that its different, i like that it offers things i dont offer.
just a little dissappointed to find out that it will be, thats all.
