Can you add the bit about the forum being a benevolent dictatorship on the home page?

Hate to be a kill joy ,but I wish it was the same set upas before.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Hey, wasn't the heritage of your countrymen to adapt to change and hardship without griping (where is the pokey smiley ;D)

Honestly, I would need a sample of what it was before to put it back together that way. I have nothing to go on except my bad memory.

No point to adapt when not necessary, I like the adage " if it`s not broke don`t change it"
I know some of that doesn`t apply due to the outage but if the original format that served us so well for so long can come back....
I`m all in.
Thanks Buck.

Biggest suggestion I have, do-away with the all-caps forum names and descriptions.  Makes it hard to read quickly and is mildly off-putting, relative to this group that is.

Is the verification six letter thing going to go away after so many posts?  It's a bit annoying.

I believe the verification goes away pretty quickly, 5 or 10 posts

I don't even know what verification thing you guys are talking about. As for the caps, I will leave the titles stand, and change the descriptions.

The verification is the captcha test and as an admin you probably never saw it. It lasts for the first five posts and is designed to reduce the automated spam. Unfortunately it does little to reduce human generated spam.

I believe he is known for dipping his fingers in that can from time to time.  :D
