Yes, I've been supporting the site through making purchases on Amazon through the site store (Haken gets a little money that way), but you're right, I think it's time to log in to my paypal account.

Comment 1: Thanks, Haken, for keeping up such a great site. You are the bestest.

Comment 2: I know this has been said, but I don't think it's been said enough. People, if you love this site and you appreciate all of Haken's hard work to keep it flying, please donate. There are a couple of very easy to find links right on the home page above the Taglog:

Comment 3: Haken, if you're considering add-on optiony things, it sure would be nice to be able to ignore (not view) signatures and avatars. There seems to be more and more people who love to have ginormous sigs and avs that end up taking ten times more space than any of the teeny statements they post. Kiiiiinda annoying, that.

It's overall been a great working site! I have only 1 request, really.

I'd like that you please remove the auto-resize 'feature' on Blue Sun images. Artists (and assorted image-makers, like my own-self) tend to be real fussy about seeing their images shrunk for no apparent reason. I felt sad when you suddenly introduced this new 'feature'.

Like many I love this site as it is, bugs, gremlins, trolls and all. It kinda what makes the place what it is. There may be annoyances and things that wind me up but even Serenity had bits that fell off or broke down.
But if I was too make changes from the TV series version of this site to the movie version it would be these.

1. I would change the title of Talk Story to General Discussions (of anything) and place it second on the list. General Discussions I would change to be Discussions of Firefly/Serenity related material and keep this first in the list. You could word it how you like but it may stop people posting about anything in the current General Discussions (I'm guilty of this myself as less people seem to go to Talk Story).

2. The second feature I'd add would be a search function, even a simple one that looks up keywords and/or usernames. It's really hard and long winded to find an old post by having to wade through all the others, especially if you don't remember what forum it was in.

That would be it, I think.

As long as you don't change the basic layout of the place I'll be happy. I visit here at least twice a day, once in the morning as I'm caffeining up for the day, and again as soon as I get home. This is my favorite site and I don't ever want it to die, and I also want it to retain as much of the same flavor as when I first discovered it.

I've contributed through PayPal before and I promise I'll do so again soon. You've also benefited from some amazon.com purchases from time to time and I'll continue to do that as well.

I can't think of any other features I'd ask for. I'm used to un-checking the box for notification of replies, since I visit so often I don't need to know if a thread I'm participating in has new posts. I normally only use my signature on posts directly related to Firefly or Serenity since the phrase is specific to the show and the fandom, so I still want to have the option to use it or not depending on where I'm posting. I'm gonna use it here because the sentiment definitely applies to this situation. For anyone who doesn't know yet my sig is Mandarin for "We're Still Flying."

Hakes, were you going to stick with an ASP site, or were you going to switch to a new format? Like PHP, MySQL, something brand-new and shiny? I get the impression that PHP sites are easiest to manage nowadays. I could be wrong. But as sure as I know anything, I know this - you are the MAN for keeping this site flying as long as you have, and for being willing to carry it forward in a new version to Earth-that-was and beyond.

I blow my nose at you and towel your bottom! I fart in your general direction!

For this reason, among so many others, I love my adblock plus.

I adore this site as it is, for the most part. The only thing I think I'd like to see (other than some firewalls between us and the spambots) is a 'posted by' on the threadlists. Most forums have the thread author listed next to the thread title, and I think that's a good idea. Unless it would mess with the format and make it like every other forum, which I would not want.
The suggestion about saving notification settings and not having the 'with quote' part lost when one has to sign on, I also like.
Oh, maybe more built-in emotes, though I don't find it too problematic to insert my own.

Paging. For the love of god, paging. It'll also save you some bandwidth and depending on how you code it, cycles.

Oh yeah, before I forget:

Longer cookie log-in time, please. I keep getting logged out after a while, whereas I'd really just like to stay logged in permanently.
