Yeah well when I 1st joined this site I was annoyed about how there is too many sections,
can't we make it simpler, that way people are onto posted threads quicker and get a quicker response,
I feel the site is too specific, what the hell, was this site made by a person with aspergers??? lol, its a bit over elaborate, and some threads can be merged, couldn't of topic be thrown into members section etc?

EDIT
can we have a shoutbox on the index, its so people can say hello and talk without flooding the forum with threads that clog up the place?

also can we have a system that marks threads you have posted in? that way it's easier to find threads you are posting in

this ^ system has been used on other forums over the net, it is normally a little black dot over the "new post" image

Actually, it's a matter of perspective.

For instance. I never look at threads or forums. I get an RSS Feed of every new topic on Wrong Planet no matter where it is. It appears in my Google Reader. That way, I can quickly scan for topics that interest me.

Then, if I've posted in a particuar thread, it follows that I was interested in it. My profile is set to send me emails whenever a thread I've posted in is updated.

It all works brilliantly for me.

Yes.

This question to me was funny as it clearly states this is a website for people with autism and aspergers and yes the owner is aspergers like most of us....

Most of the eggs that people eat are unfertilized.

Also, humans have intrinsic value from being
made in the image of God, whereas birds,
though they are nephesh chayah, are not made
in God's image.

Now, you may quote your quotes all you like,
but that is still PPR material MrMark.

No, it was a joke. You made it political.
