User feedback and questions.

Welllllllllllll even a small difference can have many unpredicted effects, so I say let's at least give this a small test run for the general public.
 
So what if there's nothing to ask that member?

You cannot possibly run out of things to ask another person. You may have to think harder, but believe me, you won't run out of things. I know my friends well, but there are still plenty of things I could ask them that I don't yet know.
 
Who likes the forum's name? 8)
 
I think Cuddle Barn is the best name. n___n
 
Perhaps it should be opened to certain distinguished members of the un-paid? Because there are key figure with thousands of posts and high activity - among other things, testament to their impact on our community. Maybe some combination of the above, or maybe just plain invites, would be a great way to integrate those of us who have a lot of potential for interaction on this forum, but are prevented from doing so simply by the fact they haven't pitched in?

Edit: I currently use this forum more or less like a chit-chat, but in question form. For the people you're not familiar with, maybe you'll ask a few question but not care too much about it. For people who you are familiar with, those details end up coming out just in regular everyday interaction. But the question format leads to an interesting dialogue - spontaneous, random, unique - that you really can't find elsewhere, perhaps simply just due to the format. I'm a big fan of having different ways of expressing yourself so that's why I'm a fan of this forum, even if I'm not posting every day. I don't know what this has to do with my previous paragraph, but whatever I'm throwing it out there ^^

I guess the issue is subjectivity. What makes one member more 'distinguished' than another? Post count? Post quality? Community integration? I can't really think of a proper way to gauge who has actually contributed enough in our eyes to make it fair on everyone. While it does sorta suck that we're limited to donators only, it's a fully objective way of doing it. Plus it's nice for there to actually be some activity in the supporter forums, haha.

That's what we like to hear. 8)
 
So, if our thread has been closed, is that it for that person, then? In terms of being asked questions, that is.

Is there like, a rule against triple posting?

Because I've already done that.

no, double posting means 2+ posts by the same user in a row

so you literally could post 48 million times in a row

and it would still fall under "double posting"
 
If it's possible, could any of the staff re-open my ask thread here?

If not, I don't mind making a new one, but just a simple request as I really miss it.

Yeah, sure. Go ahead and bump it if you like. 8)
 
Hey just wondering am I still allowed to bump up my thread? Haven't touched in a while and would like to try this again.
 
Yeah. The bump rule is five days, so go on ahead.
 
So I'd really like to open this forum up to more people. Before I discuss it in HQ, I want to know if you guys have any ideas on how to do that, or any thoughts on doing that at all. Do you?

How about like the Imgur Gallery, where first it was only open to Imgur Pro (pretty much exactly the same as Supporters except for the whole "recurring payment" part), and eventually it was let to people with higher reputation ("post count"/"presence"), a little lower, lower, and then to everybody.

Of course we don't have a quantifiable way to measure presence (reputation so yeah) but I think we should do that a bit.

Though not for 20 days of incremental exposure that part was annoying.
 
We had discussions about this before, but the arguments against were that it'd be unfair, and that any criteria we'd use would be arbitrary. Of course, the more the merrier, but that never really gets brought up.

We could have a metrics based criteria, or maybe invitations, say one or two per people here. But before we discuss how we do it we need to resolve whether bringing more people is desirable to begin with. The discussion always moves to details without discussing whether we agree in principle.

It's a yes from me.
 
I'd like to keep it supporter only, just to serve as a little incentive for normal members to donate. On the other hand though, opening it up to the public would mean it probably won't die as quickly as it has. (?)
