Got A Forum Idea?

Phillip Dampier:
If you have an idea for a forum that isn't on BetterMost that you would like to see, why not consider requesting one?  BetterMost is what the users make of it, and we have room to grow.  Being a moderator of a forum is as easy as launching new topics, helping keep the conversation going, and weeding out any messages that run contrary to our rules.

If you have a suggestion, feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.

Hey Phillip. Great site, man! I really appreciate having a free, safe place to call home. Our own little Brokeback Mountain, far above the madding crowds and trolls. You've done some stellar work here, cowboy!
You may actually already have this feature, I haven;t had enough time to peruse and explore the site, but such is life soemtimes. Anyway, here's my idea: Can you install a feature that lets users save favorite threads in a folder or something for themselves, for reference, or to keep track of ones they don't have time to read but wanna save for later?

Thanks again for being our Harriet Tubman and leading Tremblayans and other IMDB refugees to brokie freedom!

I don't believe the software has a provision to let you do that, other than bookmarking threads in your own browser.  Be aware that unlike IMDb, I have no policy to delete old messages at this time, so what you do see here today you will see here tomorrow, next week, month, etc.  We have plenty of disk space.  Each thread on here has its own unique URL, so you can bookmark threads and revisit them no matter how old.  As to saving them on your own machine, I am not personally aware of software to do that, but perhaps some others here can offer suggestions.

Thanks!

My idea would have a segment, or whatever it would be called, where the discussions would be on Annie Proulx's original short story as copyrighted by Dead Line, Ltd. in 1997. That's what was published in "Close Range" and in the stand-alone Brokeback Mountain paperback book I have.

As a "stand-alone" movie and pretending Annie Proulx never wrote the story, I would say that the movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

But, without Annie Proulx's short story in the first place, there would have been no movie with her characters in it.

I see some things in the movie that were never in any version of the short story (not even the New Yorker Magazine version) and some things that never even made the movie in the story which I consider important to the story.

Thanks, Phillip! I have started emailing myself links to topics that I don't have the time to read on the spot, but which I want to read eventually. I
ve also taken advantage of the awesome "sent topic" feature. And props on creating the buttons that insta-click the code for quoting and inserting URL links. Saves time, energy, and makes posting so much simpler and easier. You've really done a great job with this site. Bravo!
