AlphaOp Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 Hey, there are a lot of neat people here at the Groundspeak forums, and this is a great place to discuss (if not the only?) geocaching. However, has anyone ever thought about the addition of an off-topic board here on the Groundspeak forums? I frequent the OTF at planet Deus Ex, discovering it almost by accident, and I found it to be incredibly interesting and fun. Perhalps a place for "shooting the breeze" on the Groundspeak forums would be a good idea? -ALPHA CODENAME: ALPHA OPERATOR daedalus://govlink/secure/majestic/12.12.12/ops/throne/AO MAJESTIC-12: THRONE G6 LEVEL AGENT http://www.planetdeusex.com Quote
+welch Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 shouldnt this be in another forum? "Geocaching.com Discussion Discuss new features (or feature requests), bugs, etc. specific to the Geocaching.com site." Quote
AlphaOp Posted June 22, 2002 Author Posted June 22, 2002 {homersimpson}DOH!!!{/homersimpson} Yeah, that would be a better place for this. Sorry, I'll kill this thread in a bit.

AlphaOp Posted June 22, 2002 Author Posted June 22, 2002 "A message cannot be deleted when it has replies." Uh oh... anyone have mod-powers to lock or kill this?

+welch Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 of course the admins have the power to look any thread but usally dont unless some really horrabe spam fest or flam war is going on.... Quote
+welch Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 in the old forums you would be correct, but when they change to the "new" forums that feature didnt carry over, im not sure why.... guess too many ppl were dumping threads not going the way they wanted (ie. they didnt like being told they were wrong etc etc) welch quote:Originally posted by st_richardson: quote:Originally posted by welch:can you kill a thread after its got a reply?

+Seth! Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 It looks like only Jeremy can close a topic here. By the way, an OTF here is not likely given that the forums aleady use a LOT of bandwidth just with geocaching. But if you want to spring for another server... Quote
AlphaOp Posted June 23, 2002 Author Posted June 23, 2002 A lot of bandwidth? Really? Huh... I thought that message boards, when you discount the image files that are transmitted, would really not take up a ton of bandwidth... of course, to me a lot of bandwidth is downloading Mandrake Linux (almost 2 gigabytes of data.)
