RE:RE:RE:RE:How is notwrong not banned from this board yet? Azures wrote: Great thesis SC1, makes a lot of sense. I'm in the process of making another alternate bulletin board on a reliable site which never goes down like Stockhouse. It is also better than Stockhouse in many ways as it allows the creator of the bulletin board to have moderator power, and give moderator power to those he chooses. (ie. Removing spam, banning users, etc...) It allows users to post links or simply text posts like these called threads. Other users can then comment on these link posts or text posts with their thoughts, and reply to other users in the thread. There is what is called an "upvote" and "downvote" button on each post and reply, where other users can choose either. The content in a thread can get sorted according to the posts with the most amount of positive votes (upvotes) to the posts with the most amount of negative votes (downvotes). This acts in a way that the worthwhile content gets "voted" to the top of a thread, while the garbage gets put at the bottom of the thread. It is much more organized as it allows users to see exactly who replied to what directly, no need for "RE: or quoting, as its a direct reply. There is private messaging, and a system called "karma". This system works by tallying the overall amount of points a user receives on his comments and posts (1 upvote = 1 point, 1 downvote= -1 point). You can click on a users profile to see every post they have made, and their karma (which is a good indicator of the quality of the content they post). The user face is very simplistic and easy to get a hang of. Overall it is better in almost every way. Direct permissions over the content of the BB, a good content organizing system, a more organized interface, and it's up virtually always (unlike Stockhouse which is down 25% of the time). This new and alternate BB should be up and running in a couple weeks, just sorting it out. Thought I'd let the users of this BB know as an alternate BB would solve almost every issue Stockhouse faces and allow a place to post when this one is down.

Looking forward to it! This website is PAINFUL. Like rush hour traffic in Vancouver.
