ideas for the board..
obviously, I'm not asking for any structural changes to the board or anything like that.. dj's done a wonderful job on that end. however, what are some ideas for the board that some of you might have thought of?
KG and I have tossed around a couple. I'm sure OP and KG have done the same. Anyone else have ideas for the board? ...whether's it's contests, competitions, yada yada..whatever.

Well the watching party idea sounds cool.
Fantasy B-Ball leagues.
I don't know what else, what were your ideas?

A larger variety of animated gifs in the emoticon dropdown.

Trust me, Murphy is not who you want to be kidding with.... Not with your 20th post at least.

Wow is that a threat or something? It was a joke because he posts so much...didn't mean to step on any toes, are you his bodyguard or something? I winked and smiled, no big deal pal.
I'm not sure how to do the quote thing yet but I'm responding to U2's post....

LOL... bodyguard? for Murph? No, pal.
I was just trying to be friendly to you. You took it the wrong way obviously. To do quotes either put the [ Q ] tag at the beginning and [ /Q ] tag at the end but no space between the bracket and the Q or /, or press the Quote button if you are not in quickreply mode.

RE: ideas for the board..
I'd definitely be in for a fantasy league, and what about some after-game parties, like at Hooters.

The after game parties sound cool. I'll be going to a few games this year and will need something to do after the game.
...besides, I miss you guys. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Nothing's more fun than Hooters! ( Well, nothing that doesn't cost a cover to get into )

If you make it up here from Waco for a B-Ball game, or watching party I'll buy you one.

I like the idea of someone keeping up with predictions and I don't know maybe we can just at the end of the season look who had the best record. What I mean by predicitions is that everyone predicts on who will lose and win every night a NBA game comes on. Another way we could do it is if everyone predicts one team that will win on a night and if that team loses that poster is eliminated from the contest. That just goes on till the last poster is available.

I already have the photos of the blue hair and the red hair veruca, but I don't have the green hair one yet. I need to check ebay, but I had to pay big for the first two.

There is an annual VirtualGM Fantasy League Contest....As well as watching parties.....and there will be more Mavs vs. Mavs Games.
Increased participation this year would be greatly welcomed.
Last year, a lot of people said that they'd particpated...then didn't.

ya know..if y'all really want to use the chat function, have at it.
but, i'm willing to doubt that many people follow you into the chat room once the season starts.
it's simply not as enjoyable as posting in the forum

here's an idea for the board..
well, with all the new members that have come aboard, it's likely that members will be reaching post "milestones" on a very regular basis..virtually daily.
soooo, how about let's create one thread to congratulate people on this kind of thing. if we're going to clean up the mavs section, we might as well do so for the lounge as well (to an extent)

I like the threads. Because they are personalized, I feel they make the board friendlier. I think we will have less of them soon because the plateaus will be harder and harder to hit.
Same with birthday threads.

possibly, mffl...but, i can only imagine that we'll have more and more new members reaching plateaus all the time.
plus, congratulatory threads are virtually being posted for every time someone reaches a new 1000 post level.
perhaps i'm out of line with this..but, it's just a suggestion

How about just congrats threads for every member status change starting from 'member' to 'senior member'?

that would work if the statuses were changed a bit IMO. right now, you only need around 12 posts to be a senior member or somesuch
