    No I do not, and I screwed the pooch by not reading it correctly in his thread and challenging him on it before I posted.

    Ok so you understand its in addition to the main forum.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Yes, and I think it is a bad idea.

    Yes I know you're not suggesting completely getting rid of the main forum but creating another Bills forum for donors only.

    Really? How come? It would never take over and essentially the previews you suggested should be featured someplace too right?

    This is why I do contract work, I do it when I have time to, like now Im busy doing draft stuff so this pesky bill Im playing defense on can wait. Plus the legislature is on a break this week so Ive got a slow work week.

    That's what they thought at FH too, but soon all their good posters became donors and only would post in the donors only fin forum and their main forum turned to crap. Since the regular main forum is the only forum potential new members see I think their membership kind of plateaued.

    Then it wouldnt work. Cool.

    A lot of this stuff is just ideas, and as I said I just want to bring this stuff to the table. Im not fighting tooth and nail for it.

    It will draw a few good posters, but it will leave the crap behind and the few posters left will leave to deal with it. There is nothing stopping anyone from discussing the team in there now for that matter, but if you encourage it by making it official, it will hurt the main board. As for the preview idea, it is just an idea, perhaps not the best idea either. I just really have a problem with making content exclusive, because there are people out there that it just isn't an option for.

    Im not saying you are simply providing an example of what happened when this was put into motion before.

    While that may be true the conclusion is still a logical one.

    As for the answers, I also feel that all 3 of us are on the same page - with the exception of Playa's examination of the books.
    Seems like Gunz and MBB agree on a lot- I know there was some debate over the issue of a No-TOS BZ, but they went on for a long time just discussing Playa's position before that happens.

    I have to wonder if there's something going on behind the scenes. I mean, I tend to be a little paranoid, but both would benefit from making Playa the odd man out. That's how the political game is played.

    I guess we will see if one of them loses and who they end up backing. But yeah I see what you mean.

    Course if playa loses it wont much matter.

    From reading the debate threads, it seems to me that Gunz and Playa are closer on positions than Gunz and MBB. Gunz and Playa both want to make minimal changes to the Zone itself and rely on the quality and content of the board to attract donations, whereas MBB seems more in favor of exclusive donor content.
