AG, what you are doing in here is amazing, just in the couple of
days it has been since I visited. You certainly know how to
build an interesting forum.
Great work, and fascinating. There's just not enough time to do
it all justice.

Surly,
Thanks. Yeah, I'm starting to get my act together here. ;D My
goal is somewhat amorphous beyond the very specific and daily
desire to do whatever the Boss upstairs wants me to do. There
are quite a few nature articles I wrote at my DD channel that I
plan to publish here in nice, easy to reference "Wonders of
Nature" topic categories so that people can go and just relax
and lay back with nature video or strange and wonderful info on
all the critters we share the planet with and the many biomes
they
inhabit.

I
hope to have a fun, as well as informative, general nature
audio/video/article library that doesn't require a degree in
biology (or any other science) to enjoy. One day at a time.
As to subject matter, I am trying to find a niche that people
will feel comfortable going to for interesting, stimulating,
enjoyable and at times, righteous anger producing articles,
video and audio.
Rummaging around the Admin settings I discovered I have a limit
on word count per post. At first I though I would jack it up
like RE did at his forum but now I think I'll keep it because it
keeps each post from becoming over long and forces me to split
posts into parts.
I think I have an advantage as an admin in that I don't dwell on
one subject and, quixotic as it may seem, continually seek to
provide down to earth, realistic hope for myself and the viewers
of the forum even while I holler and scream about some injustice
here and there.
I will make every effort to avoid a pitfall in publishing. That
is, to concentrate on putting out more material on a subject
that gets lots of views. I respect the views but I realize that
it is entirely possible for a crowd of 'one subject' zealots to
dwell in a certain area. If those just happen to be the ones
passing through on a given week or month and I mistakenly assume
the other subject areas lack merit, I'll unbalance the subject
matter and do future viewers a disservice.
If it's okay with you, I would like to make you a moderator
here. No, I'm not asking you to spend more time or do more than
you do right now. I realize you have your hands full with the
facebook, your channel and the weekly doom load. I just think
it's your right. ;D

AG, I find that the "quote" function doesn't work in the same
way as it does on DD. At least for me.

What is the max word count per post? I haven't posted enough to
hit it yet...
Part of your distinctive voice is that you "continually seek to
provide down to earth, realistic hope for myself and the viewers
of the forum even while I holler and scream about some injustice
here and there. " It is what makes you unique, IMO. There is a
shaft of light even in the darkest of circumstances. That, plus
your rigor in following evidence. (I'm a hyperbole-and-vitriol
guy, myself... ;D ;D)
I am honored to be asked to be a moderator. Thanks. Will do my
best and will try to match the tone of this fine place.

I'm glad to see you are running with the Forum here AB. Given
the volume of material you produce, it's a better way to
catalogue all of it than the Blogs you were using.
Still, there are deficiencies with Forums in terms of how Search
Engines look at them. It is tough to get a Forum "popular"
without an associated Blog, or at least a Front Page for the
Forum. You can set up such a Front Page here on Create-a-Forum,
I am pretty sure.
Also, you only have 45 days of No Ads on the site. A Banner
will appear on the page pretty soon with Ads. It's not too bad,
and you can also pay a nominal fee to get rid of it, I think it
is about $5/mo.

You are welcome. I'm on it! ;D
As to the quote function, can you believe that JoeP taught me
how to use it at the DD less than 2 WEEKS AGO?

Yep, just another little important detail that I hadn't figured
out. :-[
There is another thing that is different here. There is a
slightly different video embedding format (it seems easier
here). I just tried stuff until it worked. ;D
HTML http://www.
youtube.com/watch?v=C6YuBh-wAPQ&feature=player_embedded <----USE
THIS FORMAT on renewable revolution forum (spaces added so you
see the code after www.)
[embed=640,380]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6YuBh-wAPQ#[/embed]<br
/> <----USE THIS FORMAT on DD forum
I'm sure there is a way to size the video here like monsta
taught me to do at the DD but it looks okay now so I haven't
given it any more thought. 8)

Interesting difference about the embedding format. I wonder
why...

Welcome, GO. Interesting place AG has here. Renewable info you
would expect, but plenty of add nooks and crannies that tend to
reward curiosity.
