god get with the times. how about a gallery for personal photos, alerts when you have hate mail, and pronouncing who made the last post on a thread. allowing youtube links would be rather " 20th " century too. the dead sea scrolls were more interactive. ok, im being melodramatic now , but how about provisions for that too?
I thought wouldn't that be cool if we could all just get together one day and just get hammered!!!
I joined another site before I found this one -didn't stick with it because the discussion boards were not active at all (still too new, i think) but they did have a way to make friend requests, kinda like FB, and then "friends" could send messages directly to each other without going through the discussion boards. They also provided a place to write a "journal" that you could either share or keep private. Thought that was a nice option too.
* sigh *
I wish there was some way to build a "friend network" where posters who connect well with each other (similar circumstances, senses of humor,etc) could converse more directly...let our hair down a bit more so to speak. Don't know if I'm expressing this clearly.
I think this forum is a nice place for info and simple chatting but I do wish we could upload more photos to share. And those GIFs. They are nice and fun. And smilies. I wish we had smilies. I use them a lot usually. It helps let the reader of a post know if the post was in fun or sarcastic or sympathetic . Sometimes , with these posts, it is hard to tell the what the tone is supposed to be.
But who am I to complain. This site is free and I've met some wonderful folks here who I know I would like if I met them in person.
