I think it's plain to see that the board is getting pretty active, pretty fast and will keep growing. Keeping up with all of this is no mean feat and sleeper will probably slap himself at the can of worms he's opened. At some point, the board will get difficult to stay on top of, placing further demand on sleepers time when everyone wants him posting. This means that as time goes by, there will be masses of random threads that sleeper is keeping track of. I asked sleeper if this would be an ok idea and it was agreed to let it fly and see where it went. Please use this thread to help keep things tidy by posting any questions or suggestions that are board related here.

To kick off, I would like to offer up my suggestions. 1) John Lear. I monitor lots of forums and I see John posting on a lot of them, it's the same information most of the time, he must get tired re hashing it. I reckon he should rehash it here and then stay here. There is no ban hammer and I'm sure he will feel more at home on sleepers board than some other random place. John needs a more permanent home and I would love to cover topics related to the Moon, Mars and Venus. I want to understand more about the neutral point and I have had a copy of Ringmakers of Saturn that I always wanted to ask you about but never have. What say you John? 2) As more threads, members and topics appear, it would be prudent, when warranted, to start organising them into sections. Although only 12 threads at this writing, there could easily be, Board Information (for threads like this and the introductions, and later terms of use etc) Sleeper (for threads aimed directly at sleeper, his questions and comments thread and anything else that would warrant it's own topic such as the religion thread) John Lear (with a million threads just to annoy him) Members Experiences Chit Chat Although it may be some time before this is needed, better to plan ahead. When there's 50, 100 threads or more, the board will be cumbersome. 3) Of course, any mod positions ever needed. *raises hand*. You could have elections, lol

I totally Agree with Bearman, specially for the convenience of Mr Lear.

Thanks for the support guys.
It will take a while before the board needs organising. Having it all in one place at the moment is good because it makes it look busy (because it is with only 35 members), but looking busy will help increase those numbers.
Sleeper could have something good here, an area for free expression and exploration of everything within and without. I like to see things grow and participate in thought processes that don't require a mathematical equation before you're allowed to talk about them. So I want the board to do well.

Suggestions:
An Off Topic Section with sub threads to help make questions easier to sort through that way they wont be all in one thread. And users can chit chat about other things on down time.

Agreed. I don't want to speak on sleepers behalf but I think his take is that if you want to start a thread, start it anyway in General and he'll sort it out later. I had hoped this thread would help him gather feedback and help him organize it, so keep any suggestions coming. I have a general question... Does anyone know if there's any information about this exalt and smite thing? Someone smited me grrrrr.

I'm just bumping this because there are 3 pages of threads now. I didn't notice that there were so many threads already.
There must be a way to get the meta tags optimized to give the board more exposure.

this is the forum hierarchy now Message Board :: General :: General Board ::
this is an example of a possible hierarchy
Message Board :: General :: Sleeper Q&A :: Message Board :: General :: John Lear Q&A :: Message Board :: General :: Other Discussions :: Message Board :: General :: Chit Chat & Humour ::
I think it would be helpful to Sleeper if he designated a helper with ADMIN status to shuffle threads into a meaningful hierarchy. It's doesn't appear that JohnL is looking for another place to respond to posts tho.
I suggested something similar a while back. But anything that incurs more work for the already prolific "sleeper" isn't going to be a success
But what is needed is a Sleeper approved design for the forums hierarchy and then a shuffling of the threads into it by a Sleeper designated e-slave.

My recomendations:
* Sell Johns tin foild hats to all users, this will prevent any sleeper idea gething in to us hahaha * Sell sleeper autographed book,..if it doesnt sell like i can see in amazon give it for free (when you donate something to the forum LOL) *Make some Milton action figures in many of his customs (heck he can uses Johns dress), you could put some renegades too to play along your favorite hero or foe. * When its going to be Miltons cereal available?...Yoo-hoo's drink too?, T-shirt about "How Milton slap my soul" and so on
thats are my ideas..I hope somebody pick one hehehe.
