Hi Everyone,
These last couple weeks have been really busy, both for me personally and for this site. We're growing faster than ever and we're even the #1 result for a "Tortoise Forum" search on Google!
I'd really appreciate your guys' thoughts about the site. Constructive criticism is welcome!
Do you have any trouble with any part of the site? Is there anything that could use some improvements? Are there any portions of the site you think don't belong? Whay would you like to see added in the coming months?
Any thoughts, concerns, etc etc would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone and keep up the good work. It's great seeing the friendly greetings you all give our new members and the helpful tips you give to those in need.
the only thing i will say is a few weeks back there was a thread about assigning more moderators, with you being busy and the other moderator noot on so much maybe it is time to assign those moderators incase they are ever needed
i have admittedly been lagging with moderators. i'm weighing my options, still considering the extent of responsibilities etc.
well the more the site grows the more need there is going to be for more moderators.
Due to personal reasons I would like to remove my name from the hat regarding Moderators.
This is a request for members. In your personal profile if you could give state or region where you live it could help answer some questions you may have such as what kind of plantings for your torts. Just a suggestion, I know for various reasons you may not want to and we understand.
Sites is awesome bro. Keep up the good work. I like how there are forums for every type of tortise. Right now it seems like to many forums , because some times it goes days with out anyone posting in them . But as more people join up its going to be awesome. The photo contest was a great idea. We should do more fun stuff like that. Maybe something like a tortoise show, best in breed, then best in show. Just somthing cool to think about. I also really like how you are hosting banners for the people who are members.
I think you are doing an awesome job, Josh! This is one of the friendliest and most helpful forums on the web
.
thanks for the kind words! the site thrives because of you all...i just provide the venue and i want to make sure it's working well for all of you out there.
Looking good Josh!! Keep up the good work.
Nothing wrong with the forum at all. I do though would like to say something about the 10 minute rule or whatever it is on editing your post. Sometimes I'll think of something else I wanted to add to my post or maybe even correct an error that I had made but if it's past the time limit, you can only make another post. I know this drives up the post count which looks good but then it also makes things harder to follow if the mistake is corrected on the next page or even further. It's no big problem, just maybe more of an annoyance to me seeing an error in my post and not being able to correct it.
Keep up the good work Josh!
That rule helps to keep everyone accountable for what they post, not being able to go back later on and remove something from their post. (which can in turn make a thread look fairly awkward when the replies dont look like they belong to the previous posts)
I understand what it's for and see it's worth, it's just annoying to me.
sorry about that chucky
thanks for the replies everyone. i can't emphasize enough how eager i am to read your feedback and hear your thoughts.
Well I'm new here but so far I think it's a fantastic site and you seem to attract all the right sort of people in that everyone is so eager to help others wherever they can to ensure we all look after our tortoises to the best of our ability.A very useful site and a nice place to be. Great work!
