2008 Site Changes

Making a few changes today and moving forward. Trying to start fresh.

In the News, has been transformed to just "Paintball News". This will be for only paintball related hot topics, news, reports, etc.

Still only paid MCB Members can start a thread topic there.

General news will be posted in the general section from here on out please.


I'm also making an official "Carter's Commando" section. There will be eventual room for other contingents also.

That should be up later today.


I hucked.. is that a word? I hucked the "Field Trips" forum as the Events forum was working just fine for both.


Other suggestions can be thrown my way, but we're just trying to grow as little as possible and added only what and when something is needed...

Maybe a "Teams" section will be in the future, but not right now.

All I can think of right now... More to come when it crosses my mind.

CB

I remember one forum had some arcade games on it, and people on the site would try to beat each others scores. That might be something to consider.

Not sure if you agree with gambling and betting but we just added Vbookie an internet betting feature that you can add to vbulletin forums. It has really taken off and in less than a month people have started with 500.00 vcash and won up to over a million dollars.

Members can set up there own bets with the odds they want to use and then other members can pick which bet they want to bet on and how much. Its a novelty add on. I know alot of people don't agree with gambling though. It has gotten more people interested in posting on the site.

Not to mention hairy palms.

edit: Is there a way to make links pop up in new windows? What do people think of that Idea? I just right-click and select 'open in new window', but that would make life simpler.

I'm not sure if it's worthy of a new forum or subforum but maybe in the description of a forum mention were to put that you saw a new product or something ie "hey guys I was over at website x and saw that they now have y" or " I was talking to x and they said they were coming out with y"

I often wonder were to put stuff like that
