I don't like this idea. If you make a post, it should be there until you edit it to delete the contents, but it should not disappear. There are enough poorly-thought-out posts as it is; if people know they can erase their post altogether, I wonder if it would lead to shorter fuses and more...

I have somewhat of the opposite experience. I find myself using the zoom quite often because of barriers and distance. Just another data point. To further agree, optical zoom is important. And I am also a big fan of my Canon digital. -Dave

I know you've already sent your response, but I'm going to quote a couple of previous answers for truth: This is very good advice. Set rules and be ready to stick to them. As someone with no living parents or grandparents except my mom (currently in decline at a local nursing home), I'll agree...

Exactly. Given how gamers often complain about how others react to us, we should be the last people pointing and laughing at others. ;) -Dave

The other frustrating thing is that Passive Agressive posts often skirt the edge of allowable board behaviour and thus must generally be allowed to slide in the current moderation scheme, but straight-forward posts saying the same thing are not. This allows people who are very good at PA posting...

It was put up prematurely. The original link to it was dated 20051229 or some such, so it is likely to reappear on Thursday when the previews normally go up. -Dave

What kind of threads interest you? General gaming industry stuff? Specific game, publisher or character stuff? General drama queenery or attention whoring? There has been lots of everything, so point us in a direction, please. Welcome back. -Dave

Or, some people like to have fun and aren't really concerned with what others think of them. -Dave

This would be an excellent addition to the thread Michael started in the General Forum about what technical stuff could be done to improve EN World in 2006. I know MM cruises meta as well, but it would help to add it to the overeall thread so all the ideas are in one thread for him to refer...

According to the figure at the bottom of the main forums page the total post count right now is 2,713,633, so about one out of every 68 posts on the boards are Crothian's. -Dave

Why do you say this? If a post doesn't meet the established standards for the boards, it can edited or deleted and this is an accepted practice. The reviews section has its own additional established standards because the reviews serve an additional purpose beyond the general conversation and...

I've seen people mention a page listing currently circulating ad banners a couple of times. It's probably already on your list, but I thought I'd bring it up again. Larger avatars would be good also, even if you want to keep the 5k file size limit or bump it up only marginally. You've already...

Right. A couple of people pointed out that it seemed odd that so many reviews appeared all at once, several by members who have posted very few times, but that was easily explained by the notice that was sent out to the people who purchased the product. I think the "that's odd" posts were...

I had my daughter all last week and it hadn't been above freezing for a couple of weeks here. I had volunteered to drive her all the way home (just under 600 miles) Christmas Eve, and she needed to be there by 6 PM to sing in the local church choir with her step-sisters. All week long the roads...

As I remember it, FickleGM, your wife is pretty dreamworthy herself... ;) -Dave

2005 was highlighted by a couple of milestones for me: I attended my 25th High School Reunion, which was a blast, despite lower than hoped-for attendance. I celebrated 25 years of playing D&D by attending my first GenCon, which was the best time of the year by far for me. Other than that, no...

I'll admit that I've mostly just skimmed this thread and I hadn't developed an opinion one way or the other, however this sort of Drama Queen action always tempts me to say "Don't let the door hit ya..." -Dave

A sense of humor is a wonderful thing... -Dave
