as a long-time member of this board, i've seen people come-and-go on here. however, there are some things that need to be changed for this board to be successful. here's my list:
1. eliminate posts for guests. there's no reason why we should allow guests to post messages on this board, and then disappear without a trace. membership should require a sign-on, and a confirmation e-mail, then a mandatory post in a "new members" section. this avoids the hassle and potential problems i've seen on other boards, where people come in and post spam for other sites (read: porn).
2. return to the old-style, all sports in one thread, everything else in the other. now, there's no place to post remarks on the current status of the board. i put this under the Mitch headline, because there's nowhere else to put it. I think the old thread was best: if it's sports, it in one thread. that way, when someone goes to post, we always know there's a soccer game coming up, or some activity that we wouldn't know if we didn't visit Cindy Russo's little-used board.
3. expand the board. in this, i mean add some non-sports related sections, like a "for-sale" section. we have students living in the dorms, alumni, and general FIU-heads, who might want to sell an old jersey, or an autographed ball, or something related to FIU or whatnot.
these are just my suggestions, but i think it would make the board a much better place.
