Great post, I hope that Mat Sklansky reads it and recognizes this fact as well.

He's checked it out and feedback has been favorable...we're going to get the mods of the relevant forums together for more discussion on monday and hopefully we'll proceed from there.

Hi Tstone:

We're beginning a long process to make everything around here much better. The first step is the update in software, which is still being worked on, that you have just seen.

The next step is a complete redesign of this site. We have already met with the redesign people and hope to begin this process shortly and be done in about six weeks.

After that, it will then be time to start looking at the type of suggestions that you are making. www.twoplustwo.com has grown at such a fast rate its been difficult to maintain it at a top level of efficiency. But we are aware of the problems and are trying to improve things.

Best wishes,
Mason

thanks mason, sounds good.

We appreciate the effort Mason, but does it really need to take that long? You guys open up new forums fairly regularly. I think almost all the posters in these forums agree with these changes. Opening new forums doesn't require a re-design of website.

We need an "I'm moving to Vegas" forum and a "Going Pro" forum, too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah, honestly, it takes 2 minutes to split HUSH. There is no need to wait 6 weeks to do. We all want it and it will make all of your posters happier.

Hi Alex:

new forums are done at the click of a button. But whenever we open a new forum there is always the potential of damaging an old one. Right now we want to take things one step at a time, and the site redesign as the potential to impact everything.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hey Mason. This seems like a good opportunity to create some of the new proposed forums as a trial. Put them up now and see how they fare, how much traffic they get, how they effect the various communities, then in 6 weeks you can take all the results into consideration when designing the new site. This would also make all the posters happy. Something to think about.

I'd like to see a "Vent, rant and rave" forum similar to that on internettaxsholdem.com - lots of people want to post bad beat stories, I'm running well stories, omg Mahatma just lost $100K stories, some people want to read them some hate them, having a forum designed for this problem seems like the solution.
