Attachments in Forums

I’ve added the ability to attach a poll to a NEW post in the forums.

• You cannot post a reply with an attachment.
• You must have already created the poll rom your poll manager on your profile.

In the hopefully near future, I plan to add the ability to attach videos to forum posts.

FTJ Forums w/ Advice

For a long time the forums here at FTJ have been the #2 rated forums, in terms of total posts, on the entire Internet according to http://www.big-boards.com/.  Last week, we slipped to #3.  What’s going on?  Are you guys actually going outside more?  Have you found girls in the real world to talk to you?  I don’t know whether to be disappointed in you or happy that you’ve finally graduated from the Internet world to the real world.

Here’s some advice… it’s not safe out there.  Nothing good can come of going up and talking to a real live person.  Only denial followed by feelings of shame and inadequacy.  The damage to your already fragile egos will be substantial.  I would stick to the safe haven of the friendly forums or you’re really risking a lot.

Choosing a witty message and a good emoticon, then clicking the “Post Message” button is much easier than having your mom pick out a special outfit for you, drying the sweat from your brow, then listening to the crack in your own voice as you awkwardly ask the girl outside the video game store, waiting for her friend to finish her tan, if she wants to come by later and play WoW with you.

 And while you’re at it, recruit some new people from the outside world and show them what they’ve been missing.

Who votes for you?

Small change to the voting system… You can now decide who gets to vote for you.  Choices include… men or women.  Go crazy.

 If you specify only men or only women you probably won’t get as many votes as usual, so be aware.

 On an unrelated note, I’ve started blocking entire countries from accessing the site in an effort to eliminate most of the spam being sent.  This shouldn’t affect you unless you live somewhere in Africa.
