Now that I think about it...it is better than it used to be but I still see one just about every day. Like I said though refreshing a couple times fixes it. Back during the worst times you could hit refresh 1000 times and it wouldn't work. I actually wrote an html page that opened up 2000 iframes pointing to the warpath and not one of them got in. Amazing at at the time.

Over the course of the next week or so if you guys could try to monitor if you see less server busy messages and let me know that would be great. I made a few minor tweaks that might help.

Another thing that can help is to clear out your private messages regularly. I highly suggest doing that, it just takes a second and it might help a bit.

I'm against eliminating all talk about politics only because where do we draw the line?

After all, we do have an off-topic discussion forum, should we eliminate all non-skins talk too?

I'm thinking of creating a seperate politics forum though. What should we call it?

The "Yo Mama" forum.

I was wondering if anyone here uses the "forum links" that run down the middle of the home page? Personally I find it hard to read so I always click "Forums" or "New Posts" and go from there.

I was thinking if others agreed then maybe the middle column of the home page could be used for something else?

Maybe what we could do is just put the titles of the latest threads-as opposed to the title plus the first post of the thread. That could save us space. Also maybe put not just locker room threads, but parking lot, madden, etc. threads as well. Just two or three of each of the more frequently visited threads

What I don't want is what they have over on Extremeskins were the list of the latest discussions is listed way down on the homepage, "below the fold." I like that it's the first thing you see on the warpath homepage

What if the news wire and threads running down the middle of the page were reversed? News wire stories would run down the middle and recent threads down the left column.

Maybe it's worth trying out to see how it looks?

Yeah I don't think we eliminate anything...just make a politics area...if people don't want to hear aboutthat kind of stuff then they don't have to go in there. I'm all for free speech. I don't want Big Brother Matty looking over my shoulder.

I am incredibly impressed with this website. I am very glad that I found it. I would like to be able to directly chat with other member's however. A chat room may not be possible, but it would be very neat.

Redskins_P · 02-11-2005, 04:10 PM

I got a couple...

Capitol Hill

Pennsylvania Avenue

Blue vs. Red?

Left vs. Right?

just an idea....

I'm pretty new to the site, and I've been very impressed. What brought me here was a Google search for the Redskins salary cap data. I LOVE the fact that this site has all of the updated salaries, bonuses, and all other financial information related to the salary cap. I can actually look at those figures and determine who are the biggest cut candidates and where the team can make moves. That section helps inform my opinion better than anything else I've ever found. Keep up the good work with it, and I'd ask that you guys keep it updated as well as possible. Thanks!!!
