How about a section for totally off topic community ramblings. One of the forums I frequent has an area where every Sunday the administrator starts a new thread with the date as the title, from there people can feel free to discuss anything they'd like. Many times it's about personal stuff like what the weather is like at their location, going to the doctor, recipes they are trying out, ad infinitum. It's a fun way to get to know the other frequenters of the forum. We could call it the 'fire pit', or 'camp fire', or 'camp stove', or whatever, it's just a place to ramble. ( kind of like this post ).  The only thing off limits, other than profanity and the like, is politics. That can quickly poison the well and it is deleted immediately when found, a warning issued to the offending member via IM, and repeated infractions will get them banned. Part of the problem with this kind of thing is that I'm kind of an absentee landlord. I'm not round enough to make it really work. I would be glad to give someone responsibility over that area. I'd grant limited mod powers for that to some poor sucker.. Normally, that would be given to the requester, as punishment for being clever.. |

I second the motion to nominate pigbuttons as moderator of Campfire Ramblings.
I'll start: I spent about an hour roasting my tomatoes, peppers and onions on the rocket stove plancha this weekend in preparation for making salsa. Not as easy as throwing it under the broiler, but more fun. The rocket stove doesn't excel at fire roasting - I might do this directly over an applewood fire next time.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but I would love if there were various options for changing how threads are presented. Currently 15 replies are shown per page, and each one has a massive amount of whitespace due to the profile picture and other user data being shown on the left. I find it to be extremely onerous on my phone and laptop with touchpad to a) scroll and b) focus on the discussion.
1. I'd love to have a "minimalist" mode, or even just a "Print View" that is common in forums, that strips out (or minimizes) the user pictures etc... In addition to forum settings, Proboards seems to have various plugins available, so perhaps there is something that would work?
2. Ability to change # of replies per page - I'd love to load 100+ all at once and then not need to switch pages.
Thanks for the great space you've created!
