New T-Shirt Designs (including Canadian roundel)

@simon33 Pinned posts are not obvious enough. @Gargantua mentioned this too.

Actually, the primary reason is spam. In some situations, IL is correct but yes somebody’s first post could be a link to a map so that you could talk about strategy.

10 posts is either very hard or very easy but I think if you dive in and respond to a few posts in a constructive manner, you’ll find it’s quite easy. One idea is to revive a really old conversation with your ideas on it.

@Imperious:

Because we don’t want spam. Your first post and you want a link usually means you could care less about this site and just want a shout out.

Just post about the game in some meaningful way, sharing your ideas, strategy.

That does not require a link

@Imperious:

I sent a PM to Djensen a looog time ago for that.

It is really no big deal. Anybody who looks into more than a few threads in GCNL and BOTB and still needs to see a badge to show that I know what I’m talking about… well… I don’t think the badge will convince them either.

It may be more important in the global game threads though since those are typically more active than the battle games.

It looks like the 1939 variant needs is own board so I’ve created a new one just for it …

I’ve already moved two of the sticky threads. If there are discussions that need to be moved, please inform myself or a moderator so it can get moved.

Feedback on the idea so far has been positive in nature but limited in number, so it’s hard to draw any conclusions about what the board membership’s opinion is.  Any thoughts from djensen or the moderators at this point?

Personally I am content to wait for Guadalcanal before starting speculation on the next game. We still have at least four months before we see the one already planned…

I think the biggest transition problem has been that all the imported messages were marked as “new.” But that should go away after a few days.

Also over the next few weeks I hope tp change the look to be more like the main website. However, I’ll probably leave the feel alone. Look meaning images, colors, and graphics. Feel meaning placement, organization, and flow.

To really feel bad … wait until you hit the 5000th post :) …

i think there should be the “get a life” rank from there on, trumping the moderator rank ;)
