Chris, you may wish to start another couple of forums in here. One could be strictly administative (announcement and such), another for OT subjects that fellow members would still be interested in, a picture gallery area, etc.
I've found that on several message boards, the number of postings becomes to great that without a break-up by category, it becomes very difficult for anybody to follow a discussion. Seperating OT and pictures allows folks to follow areas of interested, rather than walking away from a mass of messages they've no interest in.
Also, while I'm on my soap box here, can you set a link to easily get back to the index page? When I first come here, I have a selection between "Slinging Articles", "Slinging Forum" and "Other Websites". I haven't discoverd any easy path back to that page other than re-loading the browser. A link could be handy for referal, to the articles pages especially.
Okay, I'm off the box now...
