RF's management up until all hell broke loose, was always all about the community, the people, the trucks, the atmosphere. It was like a home on the internet. Now, with de Fürer in charge, it is about the money, the income, the advertising, and the power. De Fürer doesn't give a crap about the members or the atmosphere. The only thing that matters is page loads that hit on his advertising banners. Part of me is glad the Fürer IP banned me so it forces me to not participate in that place anymore. The lies and ungratefulness bother me, but not being there anymore sure doesn't.

Too keep it on topic, this forum is nothing like that and that makes it great!

I really like this site, if I could say one thing -- how about a nice banner at the top like the one over at the X-runner website, I can make one if your interested Tom.

pic for reference.

maybe some kind of chat or something so you can directly talk to someone about topics or issues... just a thought..... otherwise its a great site

GrafixGuy · #29 01-07-2010, 10:52 PM

another idea, A different theme. just checking interests.

in the background would be an off-road scene or a forrest like you see here.

For starters, there's just something not right about that... operating a Ranger forum and profiting off of softcore porn, or being the guy paying to access softcore porn on a Ranger forum.... I mean that's just silly on both sides of the equation.

I briefly thought about creating a special NSFW area but later realized doing so would go against the kind of atmosphere I want to see here. It wouldn't be a problem to do if I was charging you guys for memberships (like in your example) where only those who pay to see the content see it, and those who dont, don't. But there is no way I want NSFW content, or even accessibility to the content, being displayed for every member.

We do have a chat, it's labeled as "Chat Room" on the navigation menu.

It's rarely used and I believe it's due to the fact that there is no real-time information on who is in the chat. The only real-time chatrooms that work with our forum software cost money, and there is a thread about that here: http://www.fordrangerforum.com/site-...poll-19-a.html

Changing themes can become such a long, painful, and complicated process, so unless I see something really amazing I'm going to have to say no. Also, the first theme you linked me to is 3 years old, which presents another difficulty with changing themes... finding one that is up to date, and will stay up to date.
