is the forum support good?

I have an idea... maybe its not that good, but its an idea. Would it be possible to setup a weekly 'forum' with MM, SG, and the people here to have a 'meeting of the minds', so to speak. How it would work is that each week we, the forum members, select 5 (give or take) questions that we can give/post. Then SG sends it to Aaron, who can send his responses to us through SG. That way we could potentially reduce the personal e-mails that Aaron gets, while getting a PUBLIC response to our most important topics at that time. Who knows, maybe it could also work in reverse... maybe Aaron would also send us questions? (One can dream

)
Anyway, just a thought... Yeah or Nah?

That is a very good proposal and a very nice offer from you. I will certainly use it in the future.
Thank you very much.

Yeah!
for all of the reasons PurpleRhino mentioned, which reminds me, what about a poll feature on the forum...it was mentioned before by other members but i never heard from it again.

and i mean that Users can start their own polls, not just SG.

The Last time it was discussed, Richard said user-defined polls would be too hard to implement on the site.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Aiiiieeeee!!! No! Not user polls!

This is what ruined the old SE IV Center forums. You couldn't find the active threads for all the polls floating up the topics list.

My thoughts exactly...

Even now, theres like ten people at the SE4 Center, and still the polls are floating above the useful threads. The polls are almost two years old!
