What's taking so long

[Scud]

I thought I'd already addressed why a new message board was needed. Older boards are full of security flaws and must be updated or risk hackers obtaining root access to servers and can give them the ability to run executables and malicious scripts. Just the way it is. Frankly, it should have been updated long before. This site stores passwords. How many of you are using the same password you use all the time, like for your email account? I'll bet a lot. You have no idea what can be done with that. Pretty much ruin your life. I'm not positive, but Raz and senior officers could see your bulletin board passwords before, now they can't.

Also, I've also said this before, the CS forum isn't the place to put site concerns and feature requests. You should put that on the main level forum in "the new blitz" area where Raz might see it. If you feel it's a serious issue that needs an immediate response he's posted his email.

Lastly Ed's dead on. Raz did this site pretty much by himself. My company would have charged around $30,000 if we had done it for one of our corporate clients. Jim got it for nothing and we get to use it for nothing.

Personally, I think the site's pretty good. Doesn't mean it can't take some improvements, but overall pretty good. Especially the admin area which Raz was nice enough to let me look at before it went live (the area for senior officers where I'm not normally allowed). Some of the features Raz included there makes administration much easier for Jim and the others.

Some of you have valid suggestions and there's nothing wrong with making sure Raz is aware of them, but in a few instances he's already stated that he was. Post your concerns and suggestions in the proper area. Keep in mind he's one guy and he's doing it for nothing.
