Should I set up boardwide emailing or no.... i.e. should I enable the ability to email a user directly from the forums by clicking on his username ??

my vote is no, because pms (and prillian) work fine for me... i tend not to make my email public just because i dont check it very often... you can disregard the vote i placed because it not something that id use.. but it still may be a pretty good idea.

^^ agreed. change is the devil!

#256106Post 4 of 23

seems like a cool thing to do, so i voted yes. PMs are enough, but more is always better hehe

just saw your posrt. made me re-consider my opinion. You may be right in that you dont like your email to be made public. But i think there's an option to not share your email, so that would disable thes email button with you.

as you say though, PMs are enough, and Prillian should make everyone pretty satisfied. but perhaps some people may like the email thing.

its about as useless as a beaner mowing a lawn made of rocks.

It seems to me that every change that has happened on this great board has brought us the misery of losing it for a few days. So i say no.

Just my two penneth

no way man! we already have prillian, pms, groups, soulseek, and a whole array of FAO topics that people use to get a message or file across to someone with ease. Checking my email is just one more thing to keep up with for users on this board... I vote no. I don't want it, we don't need it, and I don't think it's worth your time.

damn you are making me feel guilty about my opinion...can i change sides ? haha

Re: For the sake of convenience.....

There seems to be a lot of people with pms around here :unsure:

#256388Post 12 of 23

no, because you can set up the board to send you email notification when you receive a pm ;)

#256390Post 13 of 23

Maybe if you just us it for the mods and admin but as a user I say no b/c there is already pm, prillian and the other things mentioned above.

Re: For the sake of convenience.....

pm does the job just fine but i dont mind people emailing me so its up to the administrators, whatever you chose, its fine by me

#256428Post 15 of 23

I think it might be a bit of overkill. As said above, the messaging, prillian systems seem to work fine for me also. my .02
