Re: The smoldering of EvC
Well well...I learned a new word!
quote:
vituperation (vəˌt(y)o͞opəˈrāSHən,vīˌt(y)o͞opəˈrāSHən)
noun
bitter and abusive language.
"no one else attracted such vituperation from him"
synonyms: invective, condemnation, opprobrium, scolding, criticism, disapprobation, fault-finding;...
Concerning this topic...I wonder if we are still smoldering? Is an eruption imminent?

Re: challenge
How is your church doing, anyway? Are you still the Pastor? What are your views on the current state of the world?

The Future Of EvC
well, Boss...since you are the much-appreciated one who maintains the server, upgrades the software and writes the programs I wanted to ask you what you see the future of EvC in 2018 being? We all know that the forum is no longer growing, but do you specifically track such data anymore?
I had some ideas that I would do were it my forum and wanted to list them here for feedback...both from you and for other members.
  • Improve the quality of our topics. I am paying better attention to how I respond. The overall goal is to have a neat and tidy archive...as much as possible.
  • Clean up the archive. Eliminate threads that went nowhere, never got off the ground, or were spam. Is that a priority for you or do you generally feel that the unwieldiness of the archive best be left as is?
    We have some great posts and some valuable topics and threads here in our archives. We also have a ton of junk. One issue would be judging the trash from the stash. Its not easy to do. Comments?
    Edited by Phat, : replying as phat rather than Adminphat though we both look alike!

    The most honest approach (in my experience) is to keep everything and let everyone else decide what is trash or not for themselves.
    Of course, if you have an idea on how to organize it, then that sounds like it has potential.
    Percy has been too busy to respond, but I'd imagine that he agrees with you in that keeping everything is the best approach. Perhaps its just a pet peeve of mine...but the storage space is adequate to keep it all...
    If one is browsing an old archive, the less clutter there is the easier it is to find the good stuff...but I throw out old bills over 6 months old while some people save that stuff forever...and I'm a packrat in my own affairs in other ways....
