It's not only time for our Annual Donation Drive, it's time for our annual "suggestion drive" when we open a topic and request your suggestions for how TC (the forum, the web site, the MUX, forum rules, etc.) could be improved. We make no promises to implement suggestions, but the Hosts and staff do look at and consider them all. (And have implemented a number of suggestions over the last ten years).
Four items are completely off the table, however:
1) Changing forum software.
2) Eliminating/weakening our quoting rules. (The Hosts will shut down the board first -- seriously, having quoting with the backlinks to the quoted message is that important.)
3) Eliminating the restrictions on accounts that have not qualified for Full Membership.
4) Turning the board away from its "Discussion and Debate" orientation.
Suggestions regarding other areas will be considered. Suggestions that take a lot of staff time or that cost money will be considered, but will will be far less likely to be implemented (for obvious reasons).
Staff may not reply to suggestions, but they ARE read. (And Randall reads every one of them.)
