Hi
assuming my plan/design works, we won't even need a separate program for
discussing Raymond's girls. The proposed news-forum system can also run
standalone, meaning u can tear apart the news frontend and use it as a
standalone BBS. To discuss about girls, we can create a separate category
(eg "ChitChat") and under that, a new board (eg "Babes"). This board will
run on the same engine but posts will not be shown in the main newsline.
I got to work in the day, so i'm hoping i can complete this project by
Friday in my spare time.
Btw this news system will be used exclusively only (assuming it passes
everybody's QA here) on 3 sites - Elvin's OpenSource site, SLP and
Singularity. i plan to release it for everybody to use only AFTER we get it
up and running ourselves. (hey, this is marketing strategy ;))
