As a user, however small, of PunBB I tend to notice threads that start off attacking the feature set of a fine package. I felt this is the way this thread started. It would have been very simple to make a feature request for login option to disable the email requirement (which I think would make you happy) when posting as a guest. And perhaps a simple explanation why you would like this feature. Perhaps just my way of looking at things.

Well, currently not much. But as developer of phpCOIN for initial relases, it was quite busy. Within a year, probably close to  1000 users and 4-5000 posts. I had to clean up ads / stupid remarks / unrelated spamming / etc. probably about a dozen or so times a week. Also I said for every  intelligent guest input, I had to deal with 10 dumbass comments. Not for every user as you quoted. I still think that is realistic.

Also I see plenty of "public discussion" sites where there are worthless posts that degrade the actual topic of discussion. Nothing worse than digging through several pages of a thread to read a dozen worthwhile posts.

Perhaps you're putting to much emphasis on your preferences when passing by. Most forums will let guests posts, and while I consider myself fairly busy, I surely don't mind one extra field to post my thoughts, and as I said autofill generally does it for me. Also- most people tend to have some ego component that they will want credit for their thoughts.

Sorry, like I said I saw it as a complaint about punbb features, when in reality it is a simple feautre request.

What you're arguing is personal preference of different users. I don't think you'll change any minds, so why push it.

I seriously doubt many would call OS-X a "stripped down version of Windows.....".

I played with perl before messing with, and loving php, and found it to be a little strict for me. Not as forgiving perhaps, but that was a few years ago. On the other hand, if I remember correctly, one can do a ton of stuff in a few lines of perl that would take several in php.

Maybe unrelated (and completely without backing), but I know a lot of hosts are frowning upon Perl due to resource usage, preferring client use php instead...

vBulletin has a addon for this that is used over at  NexusPortal. Currency is weebatix (hey- they're from australia). Generally is as mentioned- you get certain number of credits for new topics, slightly less for replies. But has some cool things to make it useful:
- Store: to spend your credits of course. They have setup to where you can buy extra hosting things (disk space, bandwidth, databases, etc.). They even have a lottery where you buy tickets and random draws gives them out to the winnder.
- Select forums to participate. More important- forums not to participate. For a while, General Discussion was blocked to prevent worthless threads (original concept was to reward those who help others).

Word count might be a good idea, they used to get a lot of replies like "yeah", "ok", "cool", etc...

I think the idea of a referenda would be quite pleasing. Face it, here in the states, elected representatives DO NOT always vote for the people. They vote right down partisan (Republican / Democratic) lines. Although I also agree with the statement that majority of people are quite capable of being completely wrong (hence GW)....

Representatives are swayed by special interest groups, their own political agendas, their own politcal party, and any number of other things. If they would vote on each item as they believe, then maybe it would work. Funny how most bills turn out to be all Dems one way, and all Reps another. Votes are bought with "pork" projects promised for the representative's districts. The vote cast is rarely the right vote.

I think the advantage of the referenda would be in key decisions that "the people" could over-rule the government when it is obvious decisions are made by religious / moral beliefs and not true law. A fine example would be current legislation here in the states to "lighten" up the restrictions on how stem cells are obtained for research. Majority of people want it, congress / senate majority created and passed the bill. HOWEVER, good old GW promises a veto. A nations wish completely discounted by one mans religous / moral beliefs.

I remember one of the boards, can't remember which one, using BCC to not reveal email addresses.

Curious- is there an "email queue"? Some hosts limit number of emails sent in a given shot. Preferring to do, for example 2x1000 rather than 1x2000.

They are releasing them, but not quite as fast as M$, but do have (5) so far this year (most averaging 5-10 mb):

Wasn't trying to start the OS War again, was only noting that a lot of times it is a combination of apps and OS, not just apps. If the OS underneath is flawed, any app sitting on top of it is as well (sim to the php flaws a while back).

I've commented before, I believe the reason most "hackers" do not go after other non-Win boxes is because they are for the most part script kiddies who download their goodies and see what damage they can do. Anyone truly skilled enogh to break into a *nix box is not going to waste their time on the iBook (through both the router and software firewalls).

Here is a site that list some XSS things to test / try.

Konfabultor is cool, I use it on Mac OS-X. Mostly the weather, cpu usage, mini to-do, calendar, pop-up reminder, and occasionally a floating itunes controller. Its cool, worth the dollars...

BUT- Mac users don't run out and get it if you plan on going into tiger:
