Meh - It's right phonetically

Orange stars and bold nick in same color to match.

Get rid of this and I think you've got a workable idea. Stars shouldn't mean anything, that's why we get people spamming in Gameworld; spammers trying to improve their post count to get more stars. Let's not encourage that by awarding "special" stars to actual contributors.

You'd think that would make them actually contribute.

I'm sorry Ross, I'm not sure who you are referring to. Potential contributors or the spam-monkeys that infest Gameworld?

Although thats exactly what SnnY and others dont want and the actual fact of having to choose and not to choose is a task I doubt anyone wants at this point anyawy. Ive already met a decent middle ground and think its good enough and dont see or removing anymore. The point of you or others being offended by the color of someones stars is a bit much really and if so then you have plenty worry about already...

I can't understand you. The post makes no sense. You need to take your time and proof-read your posts. If you can't communicate your own ideas then how can I know for sure that you even understand mine or SnnY's or anyones points?

I think you need to go back and think of proper ways to generate more traffic to the board instead of dividing the board up into childish groups. People didn't like this idea last time it was suggested a couple years back (?) and it seems they still don't. Why do people have to "met a decent middle ground" (if that's what you meant...) if they mostly think your idea sucks?

Also, if im right (I may be wrong) the front page has some sort of code or some gizmo-magnet-thingie-stuff-whatever
that spose to get FST more "reputation" or some such on the search engines and other
places that does the gategorizing and eventually bring more folks here,
in which case, I wouldnt throw the front page away.

We could keep it, but we could let this url: www.filesharingtalk.com point to the forum index and let another url, like "www.filesharingtalk.com/portal" point to the portal.

That way it'll still be there to bring people in, but our frontpage proper would be the forum index. Like I want.

I've asked a few people and none of them had gone to the frontpage on purpose, some had seen it, but that was 'cos they didn't remember the full url to the forum index.

Just a thought, really.

That said, I imagine that it will happen anyway so to avoid the problems SnnY outlined, I think a public poll to decide exactly who these special people are going to be would be a good idea. Abiding by a democratic decision that goes against you sits a lot easier than putting up with a whim of an individual.

I think that a poll with nominations for contributors would be a good idea.
