I have a hard copy of each of my posts. They're all pretty brilliant. I'll make copies for anyone interested.

Oooh, I want the post where you don't have Peter Brady in your avatar!~

Haha, ok.

 

 

I'd like to make a suggestion to the owners of the site. Have some kind of premium membership where long time/generous users can donate through paypal at a very reasonable cost to help support the site.

 

They would receive some benefit . . . not sure what though

Free Viagra, lottery winnings from the UK, or Nigerian riches.

Soxtalk is awesome... not only is it awesome, but it is free. I love everyone who makes this possible :wub:

I don't even know what that means is one reason. Someone else was complaining to me about the costs and blah blah on behalf of the owners of this site, I thought it could be something to consider.

I think Soxfan1 and Whitesoxfan101 should be forced to change their names because their too similar to mine and im the oldest and the coolest of the bunch :P

No go. I was here first. ;)

Kalapse is referring to the fact that SoxTalk is free while there is a fee at the Cubs primary message board, North Side Baseball.

NorthSideBaseball.com (Cubs site) has a "Premium Membership" service. It was a joke. I don't really think you're a Commie though if you are, that's cool too.

He's not, because I never see him at any of the meetings. :)

Oh, I wouldn't advocate anything like that. Just a donation option. It would still be free.

 

I am a capitalist pig.

I've always said this place is fun for me so I never and will never charge any sort of membership fee (you can all hold me to that). I recover costs now through the couple advertisers that are up here and one day I hope to make some nice side money on the other sports sites that are up (however, never at the members expense).

 

Now thats not to say if someone offered me a 100K advertisement deal that I wouldn't jump on it (wink wink to any big time backers out there, LOL).

 

Glad everyone here likes this place as I know without it I personally would know a heck of a lot less about the Sox.

The question for me is how the hell do I get in on that and cut the advertiser out. Than we can have a cadillac of servers :cheers

this is the same program he uses http://www.chipleader.com/

 

 

he gets paid by cpa ( cost per action)

so, besides the starting over, will everything else on the board be pretty much the same except faster and better? Any new features?

There will be new features...I just don't know what. We will also be unleashing a new front page (finally I swear on the Sox this will be a permanent feature for the site...but it won't be released for some time).

not to hijack, but frontpages for talkbears & talkbulls as well? sorry for all these questions, I just want to know everything ;) :)

Well, I'd better get in this 500th post in now. :gosox3: I'm hoping it will get me promoted from Winston-Salem (High A) :pray

Well, in short, no I wouldn't mind at all the like most of those who posted. However, I do myself have a decent amount of database experience and would be more than willing to help out (in between my actual job hours) if needed. Just let me know.

 

edit: honestly, something like post count/username even though I know it's a huge database, is probably just stored in a single entry inside of a table and would be extremely simple to restore :-/ and could be easily applied for every refresh auto-magically w/o any user intervention. although, it can be a good method to sort of weed out those who never come anymore, deleting useless data.

Also, probably stored in a user table entry and just as easy as anything else to restore w/o too much hassle.

Why not just put it in your sig?

Oh that's nice... Apparently I was gaged last night regarding PM's. :chair

Probably because it is user edited, not "official" and thus not carrying as much "e-weight" if you will.
