I think that would be a big plus for this site! As it is, its a bit stripped down.
Sounds great but what does DKG want for the site?
If he's amenable to the pitch, I'd like to fling shit at people over here instead of elsewhere so could a sub be set up like before?
My opinion? I like simple. I don't care for shiny baubles. Original Snitz DV (image below) and 4chan seem(ed) to work well without even offering registration, let alone a million trinkets added on to something that at its basic core really just needs to convey written words and images.

I want what you guys want. I admit this forum is pretty basic compared to SG. I like the Shoutbox feature. If Biggie can make that happen, then do it.
What did you have in mind for a sub? If Cronus sets it up would you be willing to mod it?
Just a sub to flame, insult, be an arse in. Usual standards...nothing illegal, no porn, no pi, no spamming, everything else goes. I'd be a mod if 1-2 others were mods too.

Okay, I will mention it to Cronus. So, you will mod it and Mel as your deputy? Would that work for you? That is if Mel wants the job.
Ok

It would be the same forum rules established two owners ago. I do not have them memorized, but just exercise some common sense. I am not so delicate that I will whine when guests post that the guy who pays the bills here is a balding fifty year old gook, But, racial taunts can lead to calls for violence. Keep an eye on that. Other than that, have fun.

You want crazies. you will get them. As soon as Cronus is back, this will happen.
Very few people can tolerate running an anonymous forum. Mod approval is a time consuming waste, so you just hope the posters will remain civil. You'll deal with Ad Spammers that cannot be banned, posters that proxy up that cannot be banned, and there is no easy way to deal with that. Blanket bans won't work, and Spamhaus is garbage that will block legit users since blocks of IP address are regularly recycled between different regions.
It is a very labour intensive way to run a forum. CAPTCHA can at least keep the ad spammers somewhat at bay.

Look, the owner of this forum can't even set up Mod accounts and privileges, which I could do in under five minutes with the Log-In. Are you even familiar with the phpBB panel? Probably not. They even seem confused with the installation of extensions, which you'll want to run, something like CAPTCHA.
But whatever, figure it out yourself on your own. I'm not paid to give advice, so I don't know why I even bother.

Correct. You will be thrust into a position where you, even as a Mod with visible IP addresses attached to every post, won't be able to determine who is who.
And some Mods handle this better than others, identities. Human nature seems to need to know who posted what. You won't get that, and I know your personality type may demand that.
As I state, not everyone can manage that. I could post from four different proxy addies from four different countries simultaneously, and be the same person fucking with you. Can you handle that?
Most cannot. When this place permitted anonymous posting, Fash went absolutely nuts trying to figure out who was who, and couldn't. I was blamed for many things that I didn't post, because she thought I posted them. I didn't.
People with control issues do poorly at managing a task like this.
Freud, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now, but time will tell how your personality will be able to handle total anonymous interaction.
Yeah, I daiseychained URl's 4-6 deep just to lose my trace between nations, back when you were just a little boy, kiddo. I'm no Software Engineer though....
...but I always go one better.
Taking posts on a case by case basis works well enough. If the board ends up being an unreadable mess of unapproved posts for the mods, then at least let it be mods who are capable of scrolling past them. If the content is meritous, it can stand for others to interact with it. Otherwise... half a dozen staff can decide whether they scroll past it or outright delete it... and the regular user is none the wiser.
It's really not that difficult, but it does require a disconnect between the c-panel and any fracas that the moderator/admin might be undergoing at the time. I've managed it, I had SSS going after me hammer and tongs at FT for months before he managed to blot his copybook with cw_.

Not to piss in J00's Cap'n Crunch, he's put in a lot of work on it and some have expressed their contentment in his efforts but I'm kind of the same mindset as you in this matter. I was never a great fan of loading down the MB software with a bunch of bells and whistles. I appreciate a well maintained site, enjoy the odd trinket here and there (shoutboxes, media hosts etc)... anything else simply bores me.
