I agree with Octan

Such as the what?<br><br>Oh, and I have been able to get the PMs to work. But you have to click on the link to the inbox.

[Tavis]

OH! heh... while I was posting, I was also looking for some of those topics, but couldn't find them in a timely manner.<br><br>I'd probably recommend a few from Anything, like <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... topic=2488' target='_blank'>Gigantic List o' Locations</a>, <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... wtopic=873' target='_blank'>Post your real life picture!</a>, <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... topic=2460' target='_blank'>Web Comics!</a> (one of many web comic threads), <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... topic=2147' target='_blank'>Of notebooks, wisdom and weirdness</a>, <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... topic=1304' target='_blank'>Do you consider yourself a Furry?</a> (poll), <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... wtopic=734' target='_blank'>Any writers out there?</a>, .... the list goes on, and I only explored halfway down Anything.

I think we should note that you should ignore the updates forum, since it'll never happen. <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Tavis]

I think should <i>also</i> remind you that that forum, as well as this topic, is not for spamming your bad criticism on site updates either, DoppledangeR DooG. <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Edit:<br>If you have something to contribute to the site, post it there so that when such an update is made, the stuff to upload will be found there rather than spread all over the forum. Otherwise, don't clutter it up with commentary, off-topic posts, posts containing artwork not intended for use on the site, or random comments best stated elsewhere.<br><br>The <b>entire point</b> of having the Update Material forum is to avoid having to search for material among everything else in the first place! <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br><!--emo&-_---><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /sleep.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sleep.gif' /><!--endemo--> Look, it's not too much to ask; the rest of the forum here allows those kinds of posts --frequently at that-- and sometimes they are even encouraged by the staff. Crudding up the Update Materials topic is not going to make an update go any faster; it in fact makes any such updates take even longer because 5hfifty will have to scan through 8 pages saturated with the equivalent of <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... topic=1288' target='_blank'>the <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> topic</a> just to find works intended for site inclusion. This is not acceptable.

If a member who hasn't showed up in a while (of which there have been several lately) pops back in, they're not likely to head to the Landing Strip, and the thread has already shifted to page 2 of the forum, so they probably won't find it. *shrug* It's your call. I never claimed to have any clue how to run a forum, I just post here.

[Tavis]

Yeah, it is all guesswork here too. That's why I wanted to ask for feedback. The good news is I reserve the right to change my mind if it turns out I was wrong. <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... atdrop.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sweatdrop.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I am for pinning botht he frapper map an dht elocations list but pinning htem in the Airport section and not the anythign section.

[Tavis]

Well, I'll take care of topic pinning for now, and see where it goes from there.

Say, would it be possible to have links to all the mirrors of O&M available for quick reference?<br>(<a href='http://au.ozyandmillie.net/' target='_blank'>http://au.ozyandmillie.net/</a>, <a href='http://om.runawaynet.com/' target='_blank'>http://om.runawaynet.com/</a>, and <a href='http://www.weyr.org/ozy/' target='_blank'>http://www.weyr.org/ozy/</a>)

[Tavis]

Thanks, Niner! I'll put those in the next update.<br><br>I plan to update The Landing Strip very soon (possibly this Thursday or Friday) to correct a lot of errors and bad links, so if there are any more suggestions to offer, I encourage you to speak up.
