Such feature is a waste of resources : Youtube and other media find it useful because they can create hype and hide stories that are against their agendas (by reseting the number of "LIKE", for example). We won't use this feature here :)

Feedback / Off line again - unacceptable [23]
Yes, I noticed the problem faster than the hosting guys.. Sometimes website could be done for a whole day day (when hard drive crashes and there are some other unexpected situations like backup drive crashes too) and one have to live with that..
This site could run on other servers that are 8 times cheaper than the current one so, if anyone, server owners may get rich.
But you were aware yes? Thats why youre here so quickly.

That's an interesting idea.. but it's likely it wouldn't usually work as expected (we don't live in an ideal world ;). On a busy topic where the thread starter participates I can imagine numerous messages like "TopicStarter, remove that post!" etc. Also, while post could be removed, the topic starter would (ideally) also have to remove other posts that quote the removed post and then it would not be possible..

So it's like conversation between two posters that is publicity available? What if more than two posters (including you) posted in that thread, does it always mean they 'posted to you' or maybe to another poster in this thread?
Hm, you wrote earlier we should get rid of the My Threads feature which does the same thing..
It appears to me rootweb is more like a personal conversation between up to a few people and it cannot be compared to PF where hundreds of people may post in the same thread.
When you posted your messages to someone and you will get messages from someone by Rootweb alert you that you have messages and click on Rootweb.

How would you determine if message is directed to you or not? Like in the message the poster should mention your name and if they don't mention your name it means the post is not directed to you?
I think you are very confused about private messages versus forum messages...
Again, how would you define a 'message for you'?
Either way, using the Checker would solve your problem. If not, you can always add any thread to your Favorite threads and then periodically check only these threads.
In the checker you can specify which forums you want to check messages from and which to ignore.
Yes, I do checked on My Threads but it don't tell me if I have messages from someone. I am sure someone wouldn't know if he have messages too.

As for My Threads I always have to read and some of threads are over 100 messages, who have time to read all of this messages which isn't for me. It was last time I posted and forgotten to read it back in Jan. 09. Someone is wondering how come I am not replying back to person.

The same with "latest discussions" window - ignoring subforums could be a nice way to filter out only those messages which are of interest to you..
I'm talking about "My Threads" not the checker, on every board I was registered there were more or less expanded "thread ignore" and "subforum ignore" options.
In the checker you can specify which forums you want to check messages from and which to ignore.

Because guest posters can be from around the world on different ISPs.
They cannot add '[Guest]' word themselves, it's being done automatically when unregistered user posts a message.

Agree. KISS ("Keep it simple stupid") - also agree.
The question is what features to remove, not what to add ;). The most important thing of a forum should be the content of forum posts, not other things.
more features = more distraction
(not to mention more features decrease website performance and security)

You probably didn't notice it was an irony on my part.
Difference between humans and robots? It should be obvious.
I see it this way - you had a chance to read your original statements again and after that you concluded they made little or no sense and now you appear to be upset it has become a new thread. But it was not your first such post and I might have missed them all, so that's why I decided to make it a new thread to answer your questions. It also appears you now try to turn everything around by putting smileys after your replies as you know they actually make little sense. But that's fine with me, cannot blame you for that.
So that's my fault you failed to notice a link that appears on 20,000 pages? And you prefer to take your time to "research" this website on another website and then you finally noticed the link. If you truly did not see this link it should be better to first look around and then comment based on the facts, not about illusions.
Please read again what you wrote and when you realize the link to the mission statement is on 20,000 pages and you still claim that "most posters know nothing about it" then what is your suggestion? Should we buy ads on Google with another 100,000 links to the mission statement? Or put the link on top of the page in bold, red font?
Mission statement is not a religious or spiritual statement. It is not something I expect any of the forum users to take too deeply to their hearts because that would be unrealistic and silly. Whenever you do a search on Google, do you first think about Google's mission statement, which is: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" and make sure to use your search keywords based on this statement? I seriously doubt it..

You should maybe get some therapy for that then cos it can't be good for your psyche to be living like that then :)

Precisely, so why did you feel the need to make it into a separate thread then without asking me if I was happy about it ? Surely it would have been the more respectful thing to do i.e. ask me first !
Why not ? If someone else creates a thread under my nickname then it should be duly noted that this has happened. It shows in my profile that I created a thread when in fact I hadn't. I deal in fact, not fiction :)

I did , that is true. But I didn't get it off PF. I was doing some research and came across another site which had a lot of detailed information about PF and analysis of traffic etc and it had the Mission Statement on there. Admin, why would I ask for a link to where it is on the site if I knew where it was already. That is such an illogical thought that I can't comment much further. I'm not playing a game here. Either this is a fair debate or it isn't. If you want a fair debate , great ! If not, then why start of a separate thread.

I admire your Mission Statement and think it is well thought out and
pretty good in terms of its objectives but I do think that most posters know nothing about it. So , I ask the question again, what is the point of the Mission Statement for PF ?

So it starts to make some more sense now. Your statement is not in the truest sense a proper Mission statement. Therefore, it's just something that was written on a page and really doesn't mean too much too any poster or member of PF.

I live in denial and pretend they were not written by humans, but by web robots :}.
You kept repeating it all over again. What are you afraid of? If your post stayed in the old thread, it would have received exact the same responses from other members. I don't see a reason why you would like to be "known you did not create this thread."
You copy-pasted the whole mission statement from the "About us" page (link to this page appears on almost 20,000 pages) and now you claim you cannot find it?
A Mission Statement means how the authors and creators of this forum would act and how they would behave if they were the only participants in this forum. It is also a guideline on how we hope all posters to behave. But since the authors of this website make only 0.0007% of all forum participants, it's hard to blame them for the views of 99.9993% of the other posters. A Mission Statement is not a directive on how or what people should think.
