Leelabell showed me that MS has a web based IM client.

I always forget about it though cuz I never use them anyway.

oh great, google IM now? what's that make it... 5 or 6 large IM systems that don't like to play nice with the others? Wish they'd consolidate to one IM standard, and just different client interfaces...

Brett and Sarah were no match for the serious medallion hunters -- some even decorate their cars!

Kitch, where was that web-site again?

Day two of jury duty done. Nothing by sitting and waiting. Sure wish I'd get called for a trial. It is soooo boring!

The pay date has been extended to 9/30 now. Or until Tim implements a bunch of the requests we've been sending him.

Huh. Official....good grief let's not have that discussion.

I will be here for the real hunt. That is until I'm in a park. :smile:

official is all point of view... I'd guess "officially" the site for THE medallion hunt would be twincities.com (Pioneer Press). And they would like you to "officially" discuss the clues on their boards.

However they also monitor their boards, and could theoretically modify posts if they feel too much info on the medallion's location has been given away :wink:

Thank God the hunt doesn't start on October 16th, I might be going to a hockey game.

Holy Crap am I all over that!!

I knew they were building it but wasn't sure when it was to open. That's just down the street from where I am right now. Way cool!

we gotta do that ASAP! Finally a step up. Carts are next. I wonder if they have showers or at least locker areas so I can go straight to work from there? If not, I can always use our locker rooms here too I guess. Damn that looks like fun!

Lemmy know when you wanna hook up. It's amazing how many idiots $3 will keep away.

Right now if you want to host a folder, you just create it and then ask us to make you a host if you want that level of access ... access list, edit/delete, etc. powers. Then when we go "pay to host," you will pay up or your folder dies ... we might archive it in case someone wants to pay to resurrect it. Once the payment system is in place, a user won't have the right to create a folder until they pay the yearly hosting fee. Then they will be able to create one folder.

Can you create folders within folders? Well yes but Tim and I need to finalize a policy on that. He's afraid it will get abused. It's a topic for discussion between us.

As far as an moderated discussion ... where at least no one has the right to ban others, etc. I can see the reason for this and perhaps there will be not just free public forums, but also some that only pay to post users can post in that we "more or less" moderate .. we might require one or more volunteers monitors without host access that will report to us potential violations of the our site policies or the law. We don't want to become moderators of discussions because of the time involved ... but we could set up some discussions or folders where no member(s) has enough power to ban anyone, deleted postings, etc. Again a discussion I need to have with Tim.

sorry...per SYSOP

my question is why a folder in a folder would get abused? does the hierarchy make that much of a difference? I'm surprised they aren't charging per active discussion (such as this "shoot the breeze" as this is where all the activity is, not a folder persay...

but then again what do I know?

so then do all the folders in here get deleted? They are all in THX's folder right?
