About the Forum Upgrade, New Look, and Path Forward

[jwavrek]

I'm with Scott on this one. I say we ignore a few trolls, and maybe promote a few of the older more dedicated members to moderator status. I figure, if there are a few more moderators hanging around, trolls will get nabbed quicker, and the forum may be a titch more user friendly.

Also, for the paid forum idea. All I have to say, is that I'm a student with no job, and I don't have 10 dollars to spare, just so I can come online and talk with a friendly community about emetophobia. Also, I think we will be alienating a lot of members that maybe don't want to pay or maybe are too young to have a credit card (as I'm sure you're aware there are some younger members).

Also, I don't think many of the trolls on here are smart enough to DoS, DDoS, or RDDoS.

Yes, I sure don't want that either, but I wanted to outline all the possibilities so I can be sure to get all the other suggestions everyone has.
