I started to take this forum for granted a little bit recently until I tried posting to another forum earlier today.

I submitted a bug report in a bug report forum for a multi-IM app I use where selecting text out of or clicking a link in the message pane removed focus from the text entry pane, requiring me to click back in the text entry pane in order to send another message. I quickly received the response back from a non-developer that that was not a big deal and I should just ignore it.

So thank you to everyone who has actually tried to be helpful on this board. I really appreciate it, and I'll try not to take it for granted in the future.

I assume you are talking about trillian. I would submit the bug to the developers via email. The forum is filled with 15,000 kids so I dont think Scott or Kevin read it very much anymore.

I have to say that recently I have started surfing more & more boards (non-Empeg) and this board is superior in many ways. Apart from the speed and the 'look/feel' one can reply to individuals as opposed to replying to the thread in general - something I previously took for granted. Another thing is the nice choice of topic areas which helps prevent threads from getting 'buried' in the 'noise'.
Lastly, and just as importantly, this board has the most intellectual, informative and mature discussions I've seen for a long time.

To sum up, this forum is definately something not to be taken for granted.

Yours humbly,

Actually, I'm not. It's for Proteus, a MacOS X client. And the forums have very little traffic. There are probably less than a thousand messages on their entire BBS.

Hehe, there's another thing we've got them beat in. There's a heck of a lot of posts on this board.

Can anyone name a board with the most posts you can find? For me, I'd say the ArsTechnica board. I'm sure there's ones with more, though.

There are PLENTY of forum sites that have higher traffic than this BBS. Slashdot (though not 100% forum-based, more news based) would probably be the king, with ArsTechnica and AnandTech being right up there. DSLReports is up there, too.

However I can state without hesitation that the signal-to-noise ratio here far exceeds those listed above, with Slashdot, even with all of its moderation facilities, falling way short on that measurement.

Things around here have gotten much better in that regard since the first few weeks after the sell-off.

I would like 2 thank everyone that supports this forum. This has the best people working behind the sceens. My hats off 2 U all.
