I feel this would be usefully for things like the Cooperative writing forum. Instead of having problems with double posts and such. A person could just delete there posting and write to the person who had finished first. You would only have the ability to delete your own post and not anyone else. This might help us keep the froums clean and make less of a job for JJJ.

Yeah, like I just posted under my true prophile in a mafia game, that was embarrasing and I wish I could delete it.

Yes that is another reason why I put this up. It would just help us take responsibility keeping our forums clean from double posts and mistakes.

ive thought about this alot myself, but we just need to be more careful. if that is aloud we would be able to delete our regretted comments in discussions, which would cause confusion.

I can see how it can be confusing, like when you are losing an argument and you choose to delete the entire thing. That would be seriously annoying.

ya, thats exactly what i was thinking of, its vulnerable to seriouse amounts of abuse.

like karn(inside joke)

I know of a site that only allows you to delete/change comments only up untill 30minutes since you posted. I think a simmilar system would work well here.

ya that is a pretty good idea if they made it fifteen

agreed, i time limit would be good, but fifteen is still to long. it should be like a minute or two, in a debate things start flying fast.

That way you can not delete an entire debate but you can delete/change a badly written comment you just made or double post.

Yes but is that time limit enough to make a significant change Maybe it should be 5 minutes.

Also we are in agreement that deleting or changing messages on forums is needed right?

yes. i think 5 minutes sounds good.

exactly, we summed this up pretty nicely. now all we need is 3J's stamp of aproval.

I messaged him about it while he was online, it remains unopened

Now we get to wait and see. I think all three of us deserves some credit for this idea with out you two. I would not have developed it further. Even through I was the one who originally posted it.

:') this is the proudest moment.... Seriously though, I was like just thinking this when you posted so I jumped on it. I never would have posted about it though.

i had thought about this alot, didnt think it needed to be changed untill now though.

Does anyone know how to contact Alex in any way? I really want this idea implemented it would help so much in the forums. Well at least one admin agrees with me which is nice.

fair enough.

OK I guess we will just have to deal for the time being.

There seems to be a lot of back log does any of the original creators come on any more?

That is odd, you would think that they would constantly check the site to make sure things were running smoothly. again I am new and just trying to get the group dynamic of this site down.

Hmm, depends on the site I guess. I don't blame alex for not checking in all the time. I mean, he does have a job as a programmer, so he has a lot of things that he needs to edit for a living, which is more important than a little site he set up in high school. And besides, Zicara is right, this site is great the way it is and doesn't actually NEED improvements, it would just be a little more convenient.

Lol, love the analogy

like the analogy and Hey I am good with it. I am just fishing for information at this point. Hopefully he will find the time again but I get it he has job so we can not expect him to be on anymore.

Little star

first of the night

I wish I might

Plz bring Alexp back

to update the sight.

(This is a joke so dont go JJJ on me.)

"Star light,

star bright . . . ."

How dare you sir, that was a classic.

He can change the whole thing if he wants to. lol but if he does i will butcher him in his sleep. jk

I think its realy more tearing then ripping. :p

I thought it was more like lacerating
