Seem I voted by total accident. I was just copying choice 3 to post here, and it voted for it: "Make members who wish to join email mods who they are and why they want to join"
Where are these members coming from? Why they wanna join? Seems a little silly to me. And they could say anything they want. They're not gonna anything like "I want to let those pompous Pats fans know the party is over - go Phins!!". And really, do you and plax wanna put your emails out there for anyone and everyone?
IDK what the answer is. I fully agree we need more traffic here. And I think it's good to be more proactive about getting good members, or ya know what? People may start to lose interest, and there is slowly but surely less and less traffic. IDK if opening it up to anyone would be the best idea either. How would that work? I don't visit team forums, just my league PBs and friends here. How would anyone find this place anyway.
I think the answer might be for those already in the team forums that find posters they like, be proactive about inviting them, give panther and plax a heads up, ask for a screenname or email addy in advance, and accept them automatically. I think that's really what he sorta have in place, but encourage folk to be more proactive. Maybe fans like me that don't visit sites could join them and look for good folk, but that's a lot to ask. We probably want all teams somewhat represented.

I'm okay either way. If we do open it up to anyone and the forum starts getting overrun with idiots, we could always switch it back to being a private forum and ban the idiots that started causing issues.

C'mon guys, we need more opinions here. This is a BIG change for us if it happens, so we need as MANY as possible to chime in.

I'd like to open it up a bit more. I think it will make the content on these boards even better, and we all won't be having the same debates with the same people.

I'm somewhere in between. Keeping this a small tight knit community may seem like a good idea but eventually the interest will run out. But too many ppl and you get the worse of the worst

Lets open it up to everyone, but create a private "graveyard" like section to all the members currently here.

I completely forgot about the graveyard. That changes the game completely because it is the place for all of us to open up to each other and not be afraid to tell others about some of our privacy stuff
so to have new people on here out of the blue and go on there to view stuff that SOME of the people might not be comfortable with sharing could create a big problem
im gonna have to retract my vote in this case, because if someone isnt comfortable with having there privacy viewed to others they dont know, they shouldnt have to show it
i dont know what the solution can be on this, but until theres a good idea for it, i changed my mind on my decision right now, but havent decided to lock into anything else

Isnt there a way to close off the graveyard to people with a certain post number? Panther said there is, but it was not working properly. I have two ideas: 1) Have a PW to enter the graveyard, that me and Panther would give to everyone currently here OR 2) We delete the personal stuff altogether.
