1. The Events
I am about to add a load more events to the system. This generates automatic posts in the events section. Now this may seem silly, but do those automatic posts annoy you? I ask because most regulars use the forum in conjunction with "View New Posts", "View Active Topics" or "View Unread Posts". My fear is that people might get annoyed at having these feeds periodically full of events. I have tried adding events one or two at a time each day, but I inevitably forget. There may be ways to have the automatic posts without effecting the New Posts list, but before I investigate that, I thought I would ask to see if it is actually a problem.
2. Games and Puzzles
I will be the first to admit that the arcade hasn't really taken off. It wasn't helped by the fact that the games are all Flash which is no longer really supported. However, the puzzles section is still popular. I recently tried doing another puzzle (spot the difference) and it seemed to go down well, so I will be doing more of these. I will also be investigating a quiz engine for the site. But if anybody has any other ideas, just say.
3. Facebook
I like Facebook, as do some of the people on the forum. Some people here hate it though. Paphos Life does has it's own facebook page, but that is mainly for site announcements to publicise blogs. I was thinking about starting a Paphos Life facebook chat group. The aim is not to draw people away from this forum, rather the reverse. Anyway, I just took the plunge and created the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/paphoschat/
Let's just see what happens. NB: you are under no obligation to join this group. THIS forum will still be here. As will the quizzes, the webcams, the directory, the blogs, and the events section. Even the med prices, which gets about 8 hits a month, will still be here. So rest assured.
4. Any other business.
If there are any other issues, please just send me a PM rather than add to the thread here. It will only make things confusing.
because I use the New Posts view.....
