Is everything 'round these parts still satisfactory to everyone? Now's the time to speak up if there's something you'd like to see changed or altered in any way. New color scheme? New sub-board? New banner up top? Anything goes! Have at it folks... give me your input, and I'll see what can be done! I want this place to stay important to you guys, and since you guys are the ones who keep it alive, your thoughts are indeed relevant and appreciated.

Simple is good.
Donuts. We need donuts.
That is all.

Don't change the banner, it's a work of art and it really portrays the series in a quite appropriate way. I think this board works great overall, it gets a little dead at times but thats just message boards for ya. I suppose if there is anything I would like to see it would be a fan fiction board. However, if there really is not much to file in it, then it might just add clutter to the board. The board is like a second home for me, I'm usually on the entire time that I'm at work so to sum the board up for me: I love it. Maybe if the fan fic thing won't work here perhaps Dustin could put some of the stuff on the archives?

If there's a desire from other people for a fan-fic board then I am more than happy to add one! Great idea.

I think it would be cool. I like reading people's spin on the Phantasm Universe

the only thing that i would like changed back from ways back is that the last threads section to count towards ones post count. no offense but when it comes to discussion it is only a matter of time before most things Phantasm gets talked about and a break is needed. so in order to pimp out ones own post count and perhaps to encourage more posting in general. make the now playing threads and the like count towards the post count.

Well I'm really not favorable toward making posts in the "last" threads count... because then it just seems like people are only posting to increase their post count... which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Someone could easily just sit in the "now playing" thread or something and rack up posts like there's no tomorrow... which isn't really fair to people who make genuine posts. I can totally see why Dustin made the posts there not count, and with all do respect bcg, I agree with his reasoning and I'd like to keep that aspect of Community.

I agree with that, Goph. Although on the MCF message board, the posts do count towards peoples' post counts but that's because no one really abuses the namedrop threads like that over there. That's mainly because the MCF board is pretty small.
But really, it wouldn't be fair for people to keep posting in those threads & nowhere else to increase their post count & not add anything to the Phantasm Community. Stuff like that irks me.

I kinda miss the step levels we had , like dwarf, graver, sphere, ect. I was bummed out when it had to be taken away. The only other thing I could think of is maybe getting L.O.T.D some more Karma, HAHA just kidding ....dont go spastic

Aw man I forgot, the one thing I really , really wish this site had is background music. It would be way cool (to me) if we had the PHANTASM theme playing while exploreing the shadowy halls of The PHANTASM Community

I'm very happy with the job Gopher is doing as a moderator. Very polite, good natured, forebearing, the old silk-glove and iron fist technique! lollol
Loved the idea of a Fan Fiction section. I've seen some awesome fan fiction (Chris Burkes!) over the years.
I do have a tiny request... I always check the 20 most recent posts section. But when I get interested in a thread and click on the title (to read all the posts in that thread), it won't take me to that thread. There is no link. Instead, I have to exit the 20 most recent posts section, and read through all the sections on the main menu hoping to find that particular thread. Please could you insert a link for when folks click on the title? I hope this makes sense.
Keep up the fine work!

Kris, Note the screenshot below... first there is the THREAD TITLE and beneath it the POST title. Clicking the post title in the 20 Most Recent Threads will get you nowhere. But clicking on the top-most THREAD TiITLE will take you to the thread right away. Hope this helps.

Ah, Dustin beat me to the punch.
Yes, as he stated just click on the thread title and you should be all set.
