Being a newcomer and having been here now for a couple of weeks I have some comments.
This forum has many nice features that I find lacking in Boston.com forum. Among them are:
- Requiring validation before one can become a poster. That means that a banned poster stays banned.
- Links back to the list at the bottom of the page, so that one does not have to scroll back up.
- The addition of likes, etc. so that you don't have to post just to agree.
- The massive membership which translates into considerable activity.
Minor dislikes:
- When someone disagrees with you, but doesn't enter why, as no post is required to disagree.
- The massive membership which makes the size of each thread massive and so becomes harder to follow.
I still don't understand the ratings or poster ranking system.
Overall comment: I like this forum.
