Now that would be cool, if we did I'm sure we'd be the first forum run be run on MediaWiki. But doesn't this VB software have the ability to save the origional post when someone edits it?
What would be good if when a post is edited copy or the origional is saved in a secrete location in the Mods forum.
Laukev7:
Personally, I find it a simple solution to just split the thread and give them different titles. Renaming the thread does work, but dedicating a thread to different topics allows members to post their ideas on a topic that's been superceeded without leading to long and very confusing threads or posts with loads of quotes and responses.
The advantage of forums is that you have many conversations on any topic you wish, as opposed to spoken conversations where people interrupt each other and go from one topic to another before you can express what you wanted to say. Keeping different topics in a single thread seems to defeat that advantage in my opinion.
Aloone_Jonez:
I agree that would be better as long as there's an easy way for you mods to move multiple posts from one topic to another.
Kintaro:
Is VB open source, it would be fucking easy to implement, really.
Calum:
of course it isn't.
remember this site is the dream of an applemac freak.
they have been known to pay lipservice to the idea of open source, but in reality they're only interested in what closed source software can take from open source released code.
more specifically speaking, this board is not using open source software, probably because some people still believe that expensive closed source solutions are inherently "better".
