I received a PM from "Brand 7869" telling me not to post to this thread if I don't have any suggestions so here's a suggestion; "Brand 7869, Oh Exalted One", eliminate all your extraneous twaddle & just list your demands.

Example:

1) enlarge text
2) change color scheme
3) "Buddy" list (good grief!)
4) add pop-ups (oh yeah, I do so love pop-ups)
5) etc., etc., etc. ad nauseam

In my humble opinion your superfluous, excessively presented, & pretentious additional words of "wisdom" won't be missed.

Incidentally, do you even have, want, or enjoy an interest in - pets?

This post, as well as my other one on this thread, no doubt soon to be "censored" (deleted) by "our" "helpful" new member.

Here's a rant-new members who suggest improvements to the forum, but as far as I know, neglect to say if they even have pets, much less what they have. Why are you so interested in changing something that you have just barely participated in?

An overwhelming improvement would be to require all new members to read and acknowledge an understanding and acceptance of the forum rules.

Sending PMs to inform members that they are not welcome to post on a topic certainly does not qualify as respect.

I like the sound of that, Brand 7869, Oh Exalted One. I think i just might keep it or maybe I'll just put the "TP Staff" tag under my name so you guys know and will finally give up on the whole "New Member" bit.

As for this discussion, its apparent that some of the people here on the forums, just cant stay on target.

Lucky Lady, your post won't be censored, and your suggestions are very much appreciated. Your rudeness, arrogance and attempts to "politely" bash me are not.

I work for Terrificpets, enough said.

"I work for Terrificpets, enough said"

Well, actually no, that's not enough said. If you really work for TP, tben why is it that you have more suggestions than anyone else for changes? And why even put them out here? It's not as if any of us can do anything about it. It took long enough for this most recent change to come about. I highly doubt there's going to be another major in the next....oh let's say...3 years.

And personally, I don't appreciate you saying not to post something on here-just pm you. Well, it IS a public forum, after all. If someone wants to post something, what gives you the right to say they can't?

Oh, that's right. You work for TP. Enough said.

I liked it better when Jason posted. At least he had a personality and a sense of humor. You are just plain irritating.

Your right catlover, I apologize for the way I went about it and I also apologize for my last comment, after reading it, it wasn't very professional of me to say. I was only trying to get ideas to help better the TP community for everyone. I thought that by people not knowing I worked for TP I would get a better response and I was wrong. I also wasn't up to speed on how things worked completely. Had I been, I would for sure have let you guys no first, I'm sorry for that as well.

Hopefully not too much damage has been done here and maybe with all this out in the open and behind us, you guys can toss me a few more good ideas. The ideas I posted were a few I had thought of and wanted to see what you guys thought whether good or bad.

Once again, I'm sorry guys!!! Hopefully you all will give me another chance.

I have a suggestion, I dont know if it's possible as this is a public forum and it's more on the serious side.

There are people who give very serious, actually FATAL suggestions/advice to people coming here. One that sticks out is using motor oil for mange. To the uneducated person out there who may not know better and do something like this, I can't even imagine.

Is there a way to somehow stop that? I sincerely have no idea on what to even suggest it just seems it needs to be considered. IF there is something you are going to do with joining and rules have to be accepted, perhaps that is a place to discuss this? In a separate paragraph that someone needs to agree to??? Again, I have no idea. I also just saw egg shells that can tear a throat up being suggested. Actually it was the same person as the motor oil

I agree Savannah, since this person also suggest drowning a dog in a water-filled hole for digging. This person has some very scary practices, and giving the wrong information to an uneducated person could lead to a disastrous ending.

I second that one S!! Great suggestion!! I think sigining some sort of agreement or something like that..agreeing to something like...you know they have the "truth in lending" agreement...why not a truth in advising?!?

Thanks for the smiles Lucky Lady and catlover. Enough said... (As the Irish giggles)
I like him a lot better than I like most people. To you he's a dog. TO me he's an adopted son who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. I have no problem with any of these. <

This whole thread is bizarre. I surely wasn't expecting that twist at the end, kind of creeping a bit...

Here's my input on improving this site, how about an "ignore" feature?

Pope there's that genius coming out, LOL.
That is a great idea!

And I also agree that this whole thread is quit strange... Brand reminds me of someone, who's name also started with a "B"...

As stated in the Mod's section;

Many of us have been here a long time and have seen various promised improvements never come to fruition (a functioning search comes readily to mind).

The ability for admin and mods to create a poll, such as one you could use to determine which are the most desired changes, colors and font size that are easier on the eyes, the who's online being visible from the main page, the option to "ignore" a poster, the ability to use limited PHP or BB code to insert images/smilies are changes mentioned that I am in full support of and think would enhance the forum and members' experiences.

I would like to see tabs at the bottom of the page for replies and such. Suggest Jason hire a decent Webmaster to straighten things out. I thiink Luna would be an excellent choice there, but I doubt TP would compensate well enough. What do you think Tam? ROFLMAO

I would like to see a reputation system... a positive based one to be specific (no "negative" reputation to prevent fights)
Of course there's no "I" in team... but hey look! There is an "I" in pie :)

How about a spelling and grammer check?

I would love a search option within the discussion forum. It would be an easy way to find discussions on the topic that you want.
