Hey Odin Admin

[gr8ful]

For starters, nice work on you forum here - I'm not sure if you are the creator/ruler/one man (or person) show...but you get the point...I'm just hoping to keep the beach volleyball talk alive while we beach fans wait to see what happens to our two person game, but impressive numbers turn out here daily and one day soon the Beach Section will have more people visiting than the other sections!

On to business - (just making some honest suggestions, not criticisms) - can we drop the "Sand" portion out of the name on the Beach portion? We could take a vote, but it just doesn't seem like a good fit to me...short and simple - Beach Volleyball

Next, while I do not intentionally wander to the indoor chat areas, some possible suggestions for Women's/Girls Volley would be the following:
A) Indoor Chick Volleyball
B) Female Volleyball Chatter
C) Indoor Volleychicks United
D) I Got Free Ride to a Top Division One University Because I'm Smart and Look Hot in Tight Shorts While Playing Volleyball
(I personally like D, but would understand if that wasn't as popular as the first three)

On to the Men's/Boys Name - somehow, just drop the "boys" tag all together (again this is just me speaking) - I don't know why, but I just find it disturbing....Just Men's Indoor Volley sounds nice, or Guys Who Weren't Good Enough to Play Basketball could work.

Finally, it would be cool to have a section on fitness tips, work out drills, and how to heal up from injuries chat (no sarcasm on this one, back to being semi serious)...I think that would be a pretty good section to hear thoughts on how to improve vertical, etc....anywho, I would put it up on a poll but figured I would just take it to the man.

Thanks!

Oh, and if you could somehow get it to list who is in what area instead of just a number, that would be great too....

Why?

yeah, what is this obsession with titles based on post numbers? It really matters?

[gr8ful]

Two excellent questions that deserve gr8 answers:
1) It's nice to see who else is lurking on the board when chatting away....the beach community is all friendly, so if I see bigfan is logged on in the beach section and not just seven members, I can type a friendly post like - "Hey bigfan, how's it hanging bro?" Real friendly like...was just a nice feature we had on the old, old, AVP site

2) I'm not obsessed with titles based on number of posts - let's look at it all Dr. Fraser Crane like....
A) I'm a guy, who is a fan of volleyball - immediately lumps me in to the low self esteem category....I'm a volley fan who posts on volley forum boards....low self esteem and self worth multiplied....since volleyball is a sport in the US dominated by chicks in high school and division one it puts me in touch with my femine side, making me very emotional, and labels - especially ones that could impact my self worth - are extremely harmful to my self confidence and overall mental well being.

B) It's either that, or I saw you got a title based on the number of posts and thought it was pretty funny to mock (until I saw the "All World" title)....you can choose - I'm leaning towards A myself, but I'm no doctor....

Probably you don't have the "currently observing DST" checked in your profile. (I assume you are actually in CDT, not CST.)

Ok had to change it again, since daylight savings started, so does everyone have to do this?
