New Forum

Trin is currently researching a hosting place for a new VB forum. She's asked that we have a discussion thread about a new name, forum content, layout, etc. Lets have some ideas, people!

What did you like/dislike about RantRave?

Lets get a killer new name.. fuck the past, and move on.

A request that if your going to take the place off line for awhile (and know in advance), drop a post that your atleast thinking about it. Even if I'm not on to see it before it goes down, others might and can pass the word.

(sorry, this shit is coming in pieces)

One thing that bummed me out when Rant was changing shit around was when he shit-canned the individual sections. I used these sections to remember where a particular rant was, or a post i liked, and it made it simple to know where to make a post.

I liked the shortened forum main page though. The little folders that showed the individual sections kinda gave the best of both worlds

Scratch that. Groups seem more trouble than they are worth.

Maybe just a handful.

Rep system enabled. Can't stand a VB forum that has that disabled. This was probably gonna happen anyway but wanna make sure!

No Zoints

Agreed

Ha!!! Zoints blew chunks.

Forum profiles worked just fine for me

Zoints was fine if you were the creative type and had 2 days to devote to it (with each skin). If I wanna look at someones profile real quick, I don't wanna leave the board to do it or deal with Zoints.

Here's some synonyms for Rant and Rave. I've just been playing around with some words.

I was chatting with Idol and trying to read this thread and Gabs, I thought you were talking about Rant in your post... hahahaha...

Seriously though, something SOAPBOX just seems good to me, we all seem to get on one sometimes.

Just a thought....

I was, but just the 'ass' synonym

I like diatribe, fume and rage..

boil and burn...

SEETHE....Say it with a 'hiss' and I've watched people take a step back. "I am SEETHING".
