Crowdfunding the creation of the next version of LFGSS

I can't make it.

I've got a brothel voucher that will expire if I don't use it tonight.

Credit note from a product you weren't satisfied by with, or a gift voucher?

Didn't manage to clear my funds in time with seedrs, my loss and hopefully another forum members' gain. Used the patronage option instead.

I've also used the big red button on my toolbar again.

Nice to meet you d & m :-)

Velocio, as of two minutes ago, you officially have my patronage. Had I been quicker off the mark, you would have had my investment.

Best wishes for this, you are going to do a great job.

Joe

is there a thread in which ideas for the new forum can be posted?

good idea! - is there?!@ :-)

e.g. Windows-Explorer 'tree'-style of message viewing (or at least the option)?!

recall old-school message boards having this feature - so what happened to it!

We use linear threads here. Tree-structured replies make threads really hard to read more than once.

Thank you very much for investing in Microcosm through Seedrs. We're thrilled to let you know that Microcosm has now received all of the capital it is seeking, which means that we're going to move forward with the investment!

Onwards and forwards

due diligence to be done, hope that won't take long

I missed the boat on seedrs, even though I was in the standby queue - that must mean you're fully funded (/no one has got cold feet) Velocio - congratulations!

Positive proof that this forum is not just full of hot air and people will put their money where their mouth is.

What's the subscription agreement that needs negotiating? Does this mean you can haggle over Seedrs' percentage?

Nice to meet you d & m :-)

And yourself. Good event all round, I thought.

We use linear threads here. Tree-structured replies make threads really hard to read more than once.

There are arguments about linear vs threaded that have never been resolved.

Linear is good for long threads that require pagination across multiple screens, and that may be replied to in the future (you can find the reply easily, it's the last post).

Threaded is good for highly active new debate that may take several tangents before finally settling.

As such... threaded suits discussions sites for news events, linear suits long-lived collaborative discussion.

I've wondered if it's possible to have new threads start in the threaded view, and after some set amount of time settle into a linear view.

If it can't be easily resolved then linear will win as there is no sane way to paginate a threaded discussion.

The vast majority of active threads are over 1 page long, so the need for sane and predictable pagination is more important than threaded tangents.

Its standard proceedure to advise all new members of MTBR.com to change their settings to 'linear'. Everything else is just too confusing, with people reposting like nuts due to them not seeing most of the previous posts, while using the threaded view. The hybrid option is a mind fuck.

Quoting (with the link back to the original post) deals with replying to specific posts later if you want to. I quite like that.

I remember asking for spoke length advise on a RBR thread (complex wheel), and recieving a informative answer. Except the author had replied to another answer or something, instead of to me. So from my tree/threaded etc. viewpoint. I did'nt see it for quite some time.

cool story broanch

This is what I'll most likely do. We do it already but it's perhaps too subtle, I'll try and make it more obvious what is in response to what.

On an entirely different topic, the investor I was hoping would be the anchor in our Series A is in the news:

All publicity is good publicity, right?

I think the general rule is all publicity is good publicity unless you're a pervert.

I find it a real shame as when I've spoken to him he's been nothing short of incredibly professional, knowledgeable, humble and approachable. It's because of his track record that I preferred him (and Passion) over the guys at Balderton (all ex-bankers for the worst banks).

If he stays in the game, then I will still prefer Passion (and I hope he is able to stay with the company he helped found).

I think the general rule is all publicity is good publicity unless you're a pervert.

charlie sheen being the exception that proves the rule?
