I understand everyone is here for free right now. I'm curious why the site starts out looking basic compared to OSO. I say this becasue so many sites seem to have developed their warmth, lookand feel. Could a more advanced interface be used frm the start or is it only developed over time?

I am all for paid memberships to produce the enhancements. just wondering if all sites must start in basic form and evolve.
 
we are open to ideas, it is a work in progress. it has become what it is thru the hard work of a few and the ideas of many.
 
Understand that this board is in it's infancy. The software is sort of like a bunch of modules that lay in with each other. As we move forward we have plans for more content and a magazine like interface along with the forums. We got this running in short order which may or not be the right thing to do, but we wanted to get the interest up, make a splash at KW, and then spend the ongoing time making constant improvements and advancements. Stay tuned, it should be cool.

Exactly, we plan on continued listening, and continually improving. A lot of us havn't even met, we did this to make a site to help everyone who loves this sport, not to make money. We will listen, but also will have fun. We are meeting in Key West this week. I'm leaving in about 30 minutes.
 
Indeed, this endeavor is in it's infancy, however with that aside, it's also advantageous to be back to basics. We have speed and fluidity, there's a lot to be said for that. One of the more conscientious goals we were striving for was to de-clutter things a little bit.

As always, suggestions are always welcome.
 
I like it. It is quick and to the point. Love the fact that you can click on a thread and you actually go to it before you fall asleep.
 
Who needs all the fancy graphics and such ? I like it just fine right now. Besides, bright colors and flashing graphics kinda freak me out when I`m on an acid trip . . .
 
Any reason the when you click on the posted pics that they won't enlarge? A small screen black box opens and it attempts to load the image but nothing actually happens.


Great site, could care less about the graphics/ flashy stuff. :sifone:

You may need to update your version of shockwave or java to get that program to work, I will post in our Forum Issues section and see if we can get an answer from the tech guys as to which program you may need.

Agreed. I love it. Form follows function, and an emphasis on content rather than appearance. ;)
But I like that too!

EXACTLY! I think the board looks and feels great. This site runs fast and the post's are easy to read. That is all that is needed in my opinion.

The best improvment will be getting more people posting and getting involved with this site. The people...that is what makes a great site.

I think Stez has some he says about people?!?!?!:)
