No moderators? Never noticed before... very well-behaved members on this forum

Chris doesn't need mods because he is very interested in the topic of the site.
You have put moderators too early on fry forums in my opinion, even giving someone super moderator status after only two posts.
I think a members only area for members selected by the other members is best, to stop people who don't post much and lurkers seeing secrets. I don't think Michael and I want many people knowing about that college humor traffic.

Member Area has been talked about before, I haven't heard a answer on it yet.
Then why would you keep posting it?I don't think Michael and I want many people knowing about that college humor traffic.
Mods aren't needed. If the site grows to a level where I can't keep up with things I'll make them.
A members only area has it's merits and it's downsides. I will consider it.
Any good webmaster in that field knows about the collegehumor traffic, as well as places like Fark. Thats why I posted it in General Chat, to share the info. Incka it is weird of you to refer to the collegehumor.com traffic source as some secret between you and Michael. When both of you contacted me over instant message asking for more and more details.
Incka are you a lurker? What secrets have you contributed? What ideas have you stolen from other members?
Thats the nature of the game. A private area is pointless.

is it stealing when we openly post it? There are no original ideas, only interpretations of them. Good post Icebane.. i tend to agree.
I will second Sean on this post!Originally Posted by incka
Icebane - I posted about getting PR from Wikipedia a while ago. I've given a gmail invite to a member here. I've answered loads of peoples questions.
Loads of people who own humor sites that I know who saw that post were telling me to keep quiet about it. The more people who know the less chance of getting in. I thank you very much for telling us about it, but I was saying perhaps we would prefer lurkers here not to know about such things. We've seen lurkers before copying sites - Just ask Shawn Weeks.
Having something ORIGINAL and truly entertaining to collegehumor.com visitors will always be accepted. I'm sorry I do not care about the numerous cloned gaming sites that may not be able to submit their games in the future.

Heh, I agree, somewhat; they probably get enough Penguin Clubbing submissions...
Didn't you put mods on your literature forums immediately?Originally Posted by incka
Don't you just love free internet games ?
If you don't want 'lurkers' stealing your ideas, then simply don't post them. These are public forums, and if you have a great resource that you want other members to know about, but don't want it PUBLIC, then PM them.
A members-only area might be beneficial IF it was there for a reason other than satisfying a clique (not to say that would be Chris's intention, just based on other sites I've seen).
Oh well, back to my holidays
Stepping On Wires - the new blog
True, like WebmasterWorld's 'smarter people'.
I figure I'll just buy a month of the supporters forum there and just take in all of the information I can.
