I have been learning for quite some time with some other fellow activists, quite diligently, on how to actualize our long-in-the-works concept... if you want information as to what this proposed revolutionary concept is, you can visit www.topians.com , and get a feel for the promise...on account that someone hasn't revamped the main page again attempting to resolve our newest problem...

that new problem that leads me here, pleading in desperation, is the ultimate hope of having the site having a highly inventitive level of involvement and interaction with all of its users.

currently, we are namely looking at things like;
how to allow people to register, to help grow a community, to be able to record and post whatever information allowed (ranks, name, contact, contribution to site, various places on site) to help connect that community together once it is there.
and (this is the big one), creating various categories and criteria for which to allow all information to be recorded, voted on, and organized according to specific qualities... such as, several different topics in one of the message boards, can be viewed from top to bottom with category a, b, c, or d, and a, b, c, and d can be voted on for each topic...ideally even in sub topics.

now can anyone tell me how outlandish this is?...or is it not TOO bad? it sounds simple in ALL, from a practical perspective, but the technical inclination has been beyond any research efforts i have come up with by now, (have been working with dream weaver 8 and other info with relative amounts of success)and we're getting frustrated to the point of considering just spending hundreds of dollars to buy a bit of help from some web designer who's pillow is stuffed full of dough.

if anyone can help in anyway, give the slightest bit of insight or guidance to the obstructions of our inability in the way of the concept of our dreams....
well, you can just guess how much it would be appreciated!!!

well regular forums DO accomplish this, in a sense.... but in the greater sense, they absolutely do not.
right now, say on this forum, you have 'last post, replies, views'...
what I’m looking for, is a way to have a forum with voteable criteria...
like, overall favorite, vote +'s vs. vote -'s, plausibility rating, longest standing, most debated....view by locality, by date, by astronomical relations, who knows.
just a bar by each topic to drop down to organize and re-organize all the topics in that forum according to what is desired, and a bar across the top of every forum for everyone to vote on all the topics to keep this organization possible...
this doesn't come across to me as being like any message board i have ever seen

...for starters, does any think that i should learn to design a forum from scratch, and then implement these ideas, or should i find another forum layout/design and build on it from there? any suggestions? pleeease...................... *weeps like an emo kid*

i wanted to ask if anyone thinks that i should still find a developer to help, and if not, is there anyone out there who knows of a place which i can find such a program which might already allow us to implement said ideas?

because i for myself have been looking everywhere, and only ever come up with predesigned, competely static boards, which are usually hosted from another site altogether

is there perhaps a company that deals specifically with designing message boards, and other little dynamic tidbits to them and other aspects of web design?

the were working on concept kind of requires such lengths...in fact thats the foundation of the concept, taking the regular tools of communication that the internet provides, and harnessing them to make digital communication, along with the transfering and organization of valuble information alot more effective.

so as that...a valuble article in the 'education' category, that is highly plaubsible, in action, requiring help, and is highly debated, can stay at the top, and can continue to have increased chances of taking form, and gives everyone else who is looking for valuble works on education to find and contribute to it.

and the information that no one wants, that is or isn't relavent to the times, or to a few other criteria, can justly float to the bottom as it floats to the back of the collective mind.

although this seems quite hard to do...most anyone i speak to is dead set on the idea that forums are ideal, can't be improved, and should stay the way they are...i promise that if we could figure this out, at least most of them would think twice.

conceptualizer/actualizers!!!ah.

Well done gents. Talk about "effective communication".

[b v]

Was he conversing with himself?

[pgo]

Yes and he was doing so while consuming copious amounts of uppers it seems.

I scanned it and all I got out of it was a bunch of pseudo marketing speak and talking about making forums and social sites better with "effective communication". How ironic.

Either that or its an incredibly long-winded request for "how to make forumz pleez?!"

This badly worded bluesky session falls down at the first hurdle: a bar across the top of every forum for everyone to vote on all the topics to keep this organization possible...

Too much effort. Perhaps wikipedia would work, with sections organised by user hits rather than alphabetically?
