Subject: New Message Board Author: John Kosinski [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:33:11 08/29/02 Thu Ive said this before, but i think it warrants mentioning again - this message board is slow. there are other things that i dont like about it, too. if no one else considers that a problem then ok. Otherwise, i would be glad to write a new one that is only for us, provided that someone owns some web space on which i can write it. i could put it up on the local server where i work, but it would have to remain secret, for obvious reasons. if i get a good number of replies saying yes, write us a new message board but no web space, then i will consider doing that. I am the programmer of nerve.com, by the way, in case any of you are familiar with that site. but please dont tell me about all the problems on that site; ive been working there only a month and i am quite aware of how fucked up that site is. a rewrite is in the works for a few months from now.

[> Subject: Re: New Message Board Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:49:26 08/29/02 Thu I agree with John about slowness (not to mention the minimal esthetics) of the board. There was however discussion of someone coding a more robust message board on a better/private server at the first meeting a few weeks ago. That process may already be underway so there's no point in 2 or 3 different people working on the same thing. The site is fine for quick posts but the nature of this kind of thing is kind of restrictive. Perhaps another face to face roof deck meeting is in order to get a consensus on what should happen next. Sunday again? Anybody? Bueller.... Bueller?

[> [> Subject: Re: New Message Board Author: J Kosinski [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:31:33 08/29/02 Thu Hmm. well, if someone is working on a new board, maybe i could be of some assistance to them. how can i find out if anyone is working on it, and if so, who they are?

[> Subject: Re: New Message Board Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:48:13 08/29/02 Thu I really don't think we need a new message board. This one is easy to use and I assume that the person who set it up wasn't trying to make a message board to rival all other message boards. It's for all of use to post our ideas and start a dialogue which it seems to be doing very well considering how many messages are on here and it was only started yesterday. Why not spend time trying to come up with some solutions instead of a better message board.

[> [> Subject: Re: New Message Board Author: J Kosinski [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:56:24 08/29/02 Thu well, of course, the idea is not to stray from the original intent. its just that i spend all day at work writing code anyway, so why not allot some of that time to writing a message board for us all to use. i would like it to be so that you can see all the messages at once, since they all basically have the same subject and relate to the same thing. but anyway, take a look at my original posting, the one that has nothing to do with a new message board, and tell me what you think of that one. forget the new message board, it was just an afterthought.
