Making forums more strictly membership based.

[Grok]

The Word:

All these forums, except two, belong to Valhalla Legends, and are for our pleasure.  Everyone else is a guest and merely tolerated by us.  Some of you we actually like.  :p

BotDev is completely the property of Spht, Kp and crew.  I don't know who else so don't get pissed if I left your name off.  We are only providing them with a home that won't shut them down without a discussion.

Thing's forum is of course Thing's forum.  Nuff said.

All your suggestions are welcome, but chances are that if we don't see a need, it is not happening.  Even if we see a need, a member would have to be sufficiently motivated personally to agree to do the necessary work.

I thank the people who actually posted useful replies. I was making a suggestion, to see what people had to think about it.

I did not intend to start a stupid argument, and I think it's stupid it even ended up that way.

This is the important part - we need motivation! Give us motivation and it's likely to happen. But it is more work.

I disagree.  To motivate us would involve spamming from random accounts and random ips.  Don't do that!

No, that won't motivate us. We already have the solution for that - identifying some text from a picture before you can create an account.

You don't need a bot to create random accounts and spam

If it's not done by a bot, it will take us much less time to delete the accounts than for them to set them up

But it would still be annoying!

It would be annoying, but not a motivation to make more boards they can request membership in
