I'd just like to say how much pleasure I've had from UMSF since I found it last year. It's simply without peer, and expresses the very best aspects of the WWW.

In particular, I'd like to express my thanks to Doug for all his hard work and his time, and to wish him as much success in any further ventures!

I hope to be around to mark another few milestones!

Onward!

Bob Shaw

There is a 'ranking' system in some forum software, a thread can get a thumbs up as it were - but it's a bit pointless and I'd rather not load the server with things like that.

I got bored at work today waiting for a DVD to burn so I made the new logo - not sure exactly how to finish it off though - I'm still thinking of perhaps a little line under the UMSF to say something - or a hit of some gfx, not sure what. smile.gif

Making a new logo for this theme, seemed a lot easier than making a theme for the old logo tongue.gif

One of the biggest problems I've seen, though it may not apply to this forum, with forums that had ranking systems, was that it often became a popularity or personality contest. This mostly became a problem for forums that allowed political discussions, and people gave users negative votes because they didn't like their political views, even if it was a fairly innocuous post.
