Consolidation Of Topics

Posts: 2699

Some of the topics here have repeated threads so I will try to bring them together if they are related. I will also delete the threads so they can hopefully reduce the database size. The quotes will be kept intact so the contributer still gets the credit for their work. Let me know what you think.

There's 2 alternate approaches to consider.

I could install the merge mod to make it easier, and I could learn a bit more about optimizing the database. We've got plenty of disk space (Bluehost appears to increase that faster than we use it). Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it for now.

I'm considering buying another domain, and maybe make it an invitation only forum or blog (for publishers). We could use some cross linking like others are doing.

I could set up another blog like our vlog easy / quick which wouldn't have to be used for just video, and could be open to more publishers (by invitation).

Hope you're keeping in mind the perma-links out there so people aren't running into missing threads.

I'll try to keep it to a minimum but I think I tried to get the smaller threads and put it in the main thread.
