Well, since i got dragged into this, i guess i'm obliged to share my two cents.

I'm in favor of a message board system that
a) has no adds
b) requires logging in

a is pretty self explanatory
b - i agree with lewk about the profiles, but i don't see what the SH's are complaining about. Just coz u have a profile doesn't mean u have to put ur real name on it. I can still be jc and Mystery Trouble Maker can still be Mystery Trouble Maker. It just means he has to log in as Mystery Trouble Maker. He can then fill out a profile in accordance with the MTM identity and all is good.

A log-in system will serve to protect from people posting under other's names... ie no more impersonating others. Its not gonna stop making an identity. The whole internet is about identities...

I currently have and will continue to have no objection to the SH's that live in the MB until things get out of hand and the stones start to be thrown, but until then, having profiles and a logged system isn't going to shut you down.

If anyone has a valid reason for opposing log-in system please let me know
otherwise it will go ahead.

cheers
-jc
