This smells like elitism. I didn't think there was a minimum number of posts requirement for me to have an opinion. I have been here a lot more than you know over the years, just not posting for reasons I have already stated.(snip)
Furthermore, I dont think you can fairly say other people's claims are unfounded as you are very rarely here yourself.

I agree with the conclusions so far. More and Better participation, better self-control, a more diverse staff, I am undecided about whether should be a revolving staff or that staff be elected. There are arguements for and against.
So I'm not alone in thinking this would be a good idea.suggest to the owner via PM all you want, present yourself to him if you feel fit, but do not have a public vote.

Agree! it would be great to be able to also Read about missions that people have been on and let them share their experience's with everyone. I would love to here stories! I want to know what goes on when people join the military. Im thinking of becoming a nurse and dedicating myself to helping soilders so i would like to get some insight into how they think and act.That's not a bad idea at all.
Maybe that can be a forum mission? To educate hopefuls on miltary life etc. within the constraints of OPSEC. Quite a few members have gone that route and I think we were rather effective.
Also, I'm thinking that maybe the military matters are too divided... as in is it really necessary that we have "Military Related Topics" "Firearms and Ammunition" "Military Aircraft Discussions" all in different sections? They're all sort of related anyway.
Obviously information and advice on joining the military deserves its own section as do General Chit Chat, Registered Members Only, etc.
Just saying... the division doesn't serve much but if we put them together it would help boost participation in each thread because it's far more accessable.
I know that i am just a kid, and I dont know all that much about the military but i joined this forum so that i could try and learn more, perhaps we should have a thread about just the basic facts about the military? (If there is not one already i dont know) But i have no idea what many of the military titles mean and are and I believe it would be nice to learn.
Just thought I would throw in a suggestion.
Thanks TOG!!
ok! thanks!We already have such a forum: http://www.military-quotes.com/forum/joining-military-basic-training-military-45/

I like this forum and I'd hate to see it devolve into a more hostile place staffed by people who got there through a popularity contest. I think there would be disagreements among themselves to the point of becoming an ineffective body. Again as stated before, this is my opinion.
mmarsh, I really don't care what you say about me, I'll post my opinion whenever I like thank you kindly sir.
You can learn from and follow a thread with out posting.
Being here any amount of time is not an issue to me, it's coming in and saying "So and so is the anti-christ" and expecting folks not to be a little peeved about it that gets me going.
And that everything they say is perfect and the rest of us are spreading lies, thus we should stop and agree wholeheartedly with everything they say?My problem is NOT someone coming in and saying "So and so is the anti-Christ" ......
my problem is the guy or gal that comes in
.. and ..
acts like they ARE Christ < OR > God.
