If we moved over to a modern forum format, we could enjoy using profiles that will keep track of personal information, there are also "reputation" meters that work like ebay's feedback system. (this might not be good for me :>) A modern forum would allow to use private messaging, the ability to show photos and share media files, run polls on threads, watch particular threads and so much more..... It needs to be done eventually. The way I look at it is, there are only a few thousand active owners out there, and out of that only a few hundred who are active via the internet. There is no reason to exorcise anonymity here, we all know each other and all get to actually meet one another in person at events and we should all treat each other as known friends - because we are. I think this disclosure might bring forth more respect for one another on the forum. Just a thought. - Videobob PS: For those that don't know, "Videobob" is the actual name I go by in real life, and professionally. Only family and close friends know me by "Robert Moseley", but they call me "Video" or "Bob" usually. I wanted to point that out so that you know I am not hiding behind a nick name. Check the IMDB for "Videobob". >From: "Murray Fisher" <murrayfw@xxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: [DML] Proper Names >Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 07:55:41 -0700 > >I agree with Dick Ryan.
