The Admins have read this thread
onolympus.proboards67.com/index.cgi?board=gend&action=display&thread=4867
I dont think everyone understands how much work goes into making changes to the board, and honestly the admins are tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired.
Anyway - this is going to be the last change made to the board, bc its just becoming too much. We have consistently added, removed, expanded, condensed, locked & unlocked sections at the request of OOAers, to then later have the same OOAers suggested those changes be reversed. Unfortunately, the board relies HEAVILY on programming, so each of these changes requires the daunting, tedious & time-consuming task of searching for appropriate code, adding/changing that code, and adjusting other seemingly unrelated code, to ensure that the new additions/changes don't negatively impact other parts of the board. Quite frankly, we can no longer dedicate that amount of time to changes that seem to be requested on a whim.
So in an attempt to make OOA more like the old OO as some requested, these are the changes ALL TOGETHER you are voting yes or no to:
--Remove invisible feature.
--Remove only sections, except for After Dark which will hide the last post, so if you have kids or are at work, no one will see that "last post" and who posted it.
--Remove Health and Ask Expert categories. Topics will be moved to the general or serious sections
--Delete Divine Nine section
--Remaining sections will be: WELCOME -GREEK - RELIGION - ENTERTAINMENT - GENERAL - SERIOUS - WHATS HAPPENIN
--After Dark will be password protected. It will be a one time password that you all can share amongst each other. The post count remains the same. I believe that a poster must have 50 posts first before they even see the After Dark Section.
*Any information in the suggestion board that would be helpful for noobs will be moved to the welcome board.
*Ask an Expert and Health threads will be moved to general or serious sections
Some features of the board cannot be done away with..one of them the Polling feature. That came with the board.
Also - this board is searchable in google and other search engines.
Seasoned OO was created bc original members had pics they didnt want everyone to see. Not sure if they are still there, but I think members check that from time to time.
This poll will be available for 24 hours. The changes will be made (or not) based on the vote at that time. Once this final change is made, THE ADMINS WILL BE RESPONSIVE TO TECHNICAL QUESTIONS/ISSUES/CONCERNS ONLY. WE WILL NO LONGER ADDRESS OR ENTERTAIN REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE AESTHETICS OF THE BOARD (EXCEPT AS NECESSARY) OR PERSONALITY CONFLICTS. ALL SUCH REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR DELETED
