Wow BT you are responding to suggestions and input in lightning speed.
Thanks for listening and all the work.
Is the new platform going to allow you the moderator to easily add/delete images on the frontpage?
I think that could help you drive some traffic.
As issues, campaigns, world events change you could plug in updated images so someone browsing thru
would see that this place is current with issues.....people love pictures.....
Another suggestion....and you may already do this
but somewhere on the front or intro page put
"FREE POLITICAL MESSAGE BOARD" or "FREE SIGNUP"
also if people need an e-mail to join put that their e-mail will be kept private and not shared
People love "FREE" and they love privacy from Spam e-mail
also you know I love the "no notice" of an edit for at least 10 minutes if not up to an hour or two
it allows a poster that was in a hurry and didnt proof read to correct something without notice of doing so
but yet protects the integrity of the post if it needs to be sourced a week, a month, a year later.
