Make it so providers can only post in the Provider Ads section and most of your problems are solved...
At least I read Co-Ed now. I don't want it to turn back into a lame collection of "Happy Birthday", "NBA Policy", "What's your favorite flavor of ice cream", and "Who was your first" threads? I have a better idea. Put those threads in the Sandbox and leave Co-Ed as it is now. The drama is all hobby related... Originally Posted by Wakeup

When I first came here I was looking for an "outlet" where I contribute to the conversation, as well as frequent the latest in who is keeping the Hobby interesting.
I made the assumption the Sandbox was a place where we could discuss other libations such as (in my case) Guinness, wine, and other luxuries or enjoyments of life (great restaurants, places for live music, TV shows, movies, etc).
There seems to be quite a few guys here who have made enjoying the finer things part of their character. When you look at it as a place where "reviewing" is a method to distinguish the cream from the cud it only makes sense that any guy here has a natural tendency to rate the things they like whether it be a lady, a wine, or a good Scotch.
Of course, I don't limit my interest to just what the guys think. I definitely want input from the ladies too. In the end, openly discussing these topics helps you find people with common interests, and ultimately might lead to Hobbying with someone with whom you have a connection.
As far as the Co-Ed section, the obvious point for it is there, but it does seem somewhat organic and ebb and flow with its function.
However, it doesn't take long to figure out you better have thick skin around here. You make one mistake or venture outside the common line of thinking and you can expect some pretty clever responses from high-count posters. But, that's part of the charm of this website, there is a sense of ownership by the users, and a feeling of pride.
I tend to get a little wordy, so I'll wrap this up, but I do have a question(s). You guys mention people building up their post count:
What advantages are their on this website to having a high post count? Are there perks or benefits that come with higher numbers? Originally Posted by ExNavyInHouston
