Ideas for the forum?
Are the admins interested in new ideas for the forums?
I've a few ideas that could both earn money and increase utility to members and businesses.

Who is the boss?
Even after all this time Im barely aware of how this whole gig actually operates.
That is the reason for the suggestions. It severely lacks any commercial push. Some really great things can be done to promote businesses, services and equipment to the members.
I love this forum and would like to see it improve (even though it works me up pretty badly sometimes).... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayre's_law

Hi,
I think the main attraction of this forum is the lack of commercial push.
I for one and I think a lot of others are sick and tired of all the commercial push and con jobs we are constantly subjected to these days.
So I doubt you will get much support.
RegardsHugh
Enough is enough, more than enough is too much.

I wouldn't like to see any higher content of "commercial push". I understand and realise the need for sponsors/advertisements but if Neil can keep what we are using at the moment without the need for more revenue, then just leave it alone. An introduction to new products/tools/machinery is usually posted by alert members so I don't think we miss out on much.
I have seen some Forums where you start to scroll down a thread and have to jump over and advertisement, I don't like that. Our present format is comfortable to use and does everything I want it too.Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

I'm all for new ideas and progress, but if it involves more advertising count me out.

I've decided to withdraw from suggesting a few changes. They were even written up. Quite a few too.
I was looking at a few older posts and even recent ones and I came to the nasty realisation that there seems to be a deep undercurrent of agro on the forum.
A basic lack of civility.
Woodworking should be a sport of serenity and joy. A joie de vivre. Group sharing, knowledge passing and wisdom, all driven by the simple desire to make a bit of wood bend to ones will. To add beauty and art to the world.
Maybe it's me!
Hahamaybe there is no maybe. Perhaps it's time for a bit of time offline and make some curls

That's Evanism, for I know not who this "Evan" is
I received a couple of emails from Mr Ubeaut and he asked me to outline them. I wrote up a fairly comprehensive description for 4 of them. I have 3 more.
One must remember this isn't my site!
I was just hoping to add more utility and features useful to members. Some are ambitious, but big ideas make good things..... Sometimes.

I like this forum but sometimes it's difficult for me to find the answers on some questions (hope it was caused by my strangeness). Anyway thanks everybody for help and support.
