Nish Nishant19-Jun-02 13:18 Nish Nishant 19-Jun-02 13:18  Males posing as females might be a bad thing, but then it's understandable that there will be members of the vast CP community with a little perversion. But what is not understandable is why everyone goes gagaga the moment someone with a sweet girl-nick posts stuff. Everyone knows that there is only a very very faint chance of the person being female. I don't see what's the fun in sweet-talking to a guy posing as a female!

I think we should be allowed to select and answer the questions, and in the next day we should see how many CPians get the right answer and how many did it wrong. I think that would be cool...

Re: QOTD ColinDavies19-Jun-02 9:44 ColinDavies 19-Jun-02 9:44  I like the idea. !! Also the QOTD's should be divide into categories, I have been unsure with some whether they were C# specific. { Sorry can't remember which } BTW : At what level are these QOTD s aimed at ? maybe that should be stated as well.

Are some of the Forums aka message boards too popular ? A portion of CP is community building, this can also be viewed as creating interpersonal relationships. It is difficult to build these relationships when you have 300 people all sitting around a table trying to talk at once. And I am guessing that forums are the same. many forums never reach critical mass and become live. However I believe some of CP's forums have become so active it is difficult for them to grow further, as memebers are unable to remain actualized with what is occurring. So what solutions are available ? Should there be a weekly allotment of posting rights ? Should forums fragment into smaller forums at a certain size? You might well ask "why is this forum in suggestions? " Well 1.) I'm askingf for your suggestions, and 2.) So it won't be lost in an hour in the lounge Note: I don't think this is only a problem that afflicts some of CP's forums.

People will get frustrated at not being able to post, and might not bother coming back. Or people will dig up old threads after a week, because they have something to say, and either will get no discussion, or will get a lot, but not many people will find it, causing confusion. Colin Davies wrote: Should forums fragment into smaller forums at a certain size? More forums to feel lost in. I think the forum software is to blame. Have a look at a vBulletin site (on of the most popular forum software packages around). Aside from not being threaded to the same degree as CP, the biggest difference is that as soon as someone posts in a thread, the thread is brought back up to the top. This allows people to see which are the active threads all on one page, without having to go backwards and forwards for ages trying to keep up. My 2c. Re: Maximum Size ColinDavies17-Jun-02 13:08 ColinDavies 17-Jun-02 13:08  I admit I added the allotment idea as a pure thought not because I thought it was any good. If old threads were allowed to come to the top some threads would never go away. Such as the religion vs evolution battles. I personally wanna see new posts and responses. But also to interact and shed thoughts with like minded folk.

Such as the religion vs evolution battles. True. Perhaps though, they could be moved to the SoapBox and be allowed to come to the top. I think the problem is that the Lounge seems too fast moving. It might not be in reality though, since dealing with 5 new threads with 5 replies is not unmanagable for the human brain, yet it manages to push other threads off the first page. This gives a big impression of not being able to keep up.

Yes, that was exactly what I'm trying to say Imagine if the lounge speed increased to an average of 10 posts per minute. It would be impossible to refresh for slow ISP's before a whole thread was shuffled to oblivion. At some stage there is a maximum number of posts that a forum can handle. Already I know of a regular CPian who doesn't post in the lounge because its too inhabited.

Demographics Page [Most Active] Brian Delahunty17-Jun-02 7:32 Brian Delahunty 17-Jun-02 7:32  Chris, I was just wondering if the "Most Active" scetion should be renamed to "Overall Most Active" [or somethign similar] and then have another section called" Currently Most Active" which shows the most active posters over a week or two-week period [kind like Nish's Stats.. considering he's stopped them now ] "When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away, and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it" Nish on life [methinks] "It's The Soapbox; topics are optional" Shog 9 Re: Demographics Page [Most Active] Nish Nishant18-Jun-02 19:32 Nish Nishant 18-Jun-02 19:32  Brian I had specific reasons for stopping the stats show. I seriously think that they should not be restarted under the demographics page. At least not anytime soon. And the load on the DB servers will be high too. I think dave Wulff has something up his sleeve. No one remembers now, but it was Dave W who started the stats craze. Nish Author of the romantic comedy Summer Love and Some more Cricket [New Win] Most viewed articles Roger Allen17-Jun-02 5:00 Roger Allen 17-Jun-02 5:00  Chris, In a post recently you posted a link for the most viewed article list. Any chance you can add this link to the demographics page, and then allow viewing a following pages and not just the top 10 etc?
