I've been making some decent progress on the new website. I have Fan Shout and GameDay Chat done. Those were two things I did not think I could do. So those are huge hurdles. I'm at point now where I'm torn between what we currently are (discussion forum) or changing course a big into more of a microblogging platform where you can have longform and/or shortform posts.



Discussion Forums (e.g., Reddit, Stack Exchange, specialized forums)
✅ Deeper Conversations – Encourages in-depth discussions with structured replies.
✅ Organized & Searchable – Threads are categorized, making it easier to find past discussions.
✅ More Thoughtful Responses – Users take time to write detailed answers, leading to better learning.
❌ Slower Engagement – Discussions can take time to develop.
❌ Less Visibility – Smaller audience compared to microblogging.

Microblogging (e.g., Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky)
✅ Fast-Paced Discussions – Real-time engagement and quick exchanges of ideas.
✅ Broader Reach – Easier to share thoughts with a wider audience.
✅ Networking – Great for connecting with experts and thought leaders.
❌ Surface-Level Engagement – Limited character count often leads to shallow discussions.
❌ Algorithm-Driven Noise – Meaningful conversations can get lost in trending topics and viral content.

Best for Learning?

Forums are better for deep learning, technical knowledge, and detailed discussions.
Microblogging is great for discovering new ideas, networking, and staying updated on trends.

Here's the new site in it's infant form. The Fan Shout and GameDay Chat are both real time. Meaning, you don't need to reload to get new messages. They just pop up. Overall though, the layout is intended to remain the same. The layout as in three column, etc.

I have no idea what you are asking. This format is fine, I am used to it. I don't have X or any of those apps.

The new text editor is becoming more of a pain than anticipated. I thought there was a lot of easy to use plugins. I was wrong. There's a lot of easy to BUY plugins, haha. I think we'll probably just have a scaled down editor.
Ordered Lists.
Images.
Quote, maybe.
Twitter.
Facebook.
YouTube.

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : I had to manually move three posts.
Mucky Tundra (22-Jul) : But when I go it, Martha's is the last reply
