Hi Rob. Enjoy the site, hopefully it's not too much work? If you know what you're doing I mean...

It's a very (k)noble cause you're undertaking hehe.

Hi Rob.

Congrads on the Auction, and as others here have said, we are greatful that it went to someone that will maintain it, and fix it up with your good ideas.

Welcome!!

I'll definitely be renewing my dues.

As for ideas:

How about a "For Sale" section, where members can post items for sale.
Limit it to actual Items not spoof or spam.

For security, what about Limiting non board members from viewing profile pics and pics in threads?

For the Chat - does the software allow for voice features?
(Its getting drab to have to go to yahoo all the time)

Again, welcome aboard!

Another Thought...

How about Recipes.

Categorize it out with Breads/Pastries/Dinners/lunches/etc etc..

There were some really good recipes we had before...just not categorized...so you had to hunt FOREVER

Rob:

Thank you for introducing yourself; you seem a calm and level headed sort. I hope your ride here is clear sailing. And kudos to Mark for bringing this forum out of the dark ages (I remember EZboards...).

You probably should start a suggestions thread, as this one will soon get overloaded. For my 2 cents, I like the idea of birthdates in profiles, but not required pictures - I don't want someone I'm in a difficult situation with to look at me and say, "Hey, I know you - aren't you Ceg on LPSG?" I also probably wouldn't use a dating service here - I'd prefer to be chosen for my wit and baby blues and let my dick be the surprise in the Cracker Jack box. I'm also not big on recipe exchanges or buying/selling items.

The issue of minors is going to have to be addressed, which ties into the ages in profiles and pictures. There is a lot of information here that would have been very useful to me when I was a minor (that was long before the internet). However, there are a lot of raunchy posts I don't think minors should read (I've probably written a few of them myself). I don't have an answer for it.

Take care

Ceg

Dear Rob
It is so good to be reassured of the continuence of lpsg. I was so afraid that after five years my favorite site would turn into something I would not want to visit. Your ideas sound like they have promise. I like the idea of moderators. One of the reasons I am not here everyday is the frustration I have had with chat, and the bickering that often happened in the threads. And sometimes I was shy to put in my two cents because it seemed that when I did the thread ended. I felt like I often hindered conversation instead of promoting it.
In the years I have been a member many things have happened and most of them positive. I have been blessed personally by many of the members. I enjoy the friendship of many members often in the chat room and since into other areas.
It is so good to get to know you and know that lpsg has a positive future. Thanks and be blessed. mal.

I fail to understand the benefit of mandatory birth dates and pics. How can you verify that either are for real? Same with stating sex or sexual orientation.
As for minors?
On a forum thread, someone asked how many members were teens. I was amazed by the large number of responses.
I think that the benefits of the forum discussions far out weigh any possible harm. These kids want and need answers and reassurance.

Welome. I look forward to your leadership on the forum as the new owner. If you need a chat room moderator, that is where I hang out here the most.

Please dont bother expanding the current Niche. LPSG is a Lage Penis Support Goups - and thats what it should stay as.

Hrmm, though are we able to get size restrictions on the size of the Avatars - some are lager than the post itself. And maybe a custom skin so we dont look like every other vbulletin community out there.

I am also not sure about a stuff for sale section here, but maybe we can fit it in somewhere.

This is all in the works. First I will redesign the look and feel of the forum, then for added features.

I'm really new, and I don't even HAVE my own penis.

But this place is great for rejuvenation of the love of cock, so I'm hoping that all Rob's ideas will come to fruition in the best possible way.

What drew me originally were the Fictitious Stories - I do hope they won't be considered porn and done away with. I'm planning lots of stories and working on part 2 to my first effort (The Reunion.)

Anyway, best of luck to both Mark and Rob in the new endeavors.

LOL @ "EZboard hell. I still do live on an ezboard, but I'm spreading the word to my pals there, and hopefully some of them will stroll over.

The issue of minors is going to have to be addressed, which ties into the ages in profiles and pictures. There is a lot of information here that would have been very useful to me when I was a minor (that was long before the internet). However, there are a lot of raunchy posts I don't think minors should read (I've probably written a few of them myself). I don't have an answer for it.
I do not see any reason to hide the raunchy posts from anyone who's actually got a big dick and is dealing with it. The standards of "society" are fucked up - why not let the kid decide for himself and learn to deal with things? How old is the youngest here, anyway? If 8 year olds were coming here, I'd agree with you. They are "true" minors. Kids who have reached puberty, or even just about to, and are dealing with the issues, should have the right to check out whatever they want to. I say, let them grow up at their own pace.
