There is the mess hall section that's available to paid members. It's more lax in conversations. (But still no political discussion or offensive material)I have to admit I didn't read everything here, but I did see a couple of posts that have the same thing I was thinking.
In another forum I'm a member of, we have an 'opt-in' section. Anything goes. When you agree to have that section visible for you to view, you also agree that (nearly) anything goes. Nearly meaning keep it legal, but feel free to discuss sensitive topics and other offensive discussions are possible.
It works very well.
Sorry, but that's just how things work. It's a balancing act. I could set the timeout to run for say 5 hours. But we'd retain extra database connections the longer we specify that. And then it'd also look like some people never log off unless they sleep. Which could lead to other issues amongst users. ("I see you're online, why aren't you answering my PM????")The flippin' timeout!!
Other than that, you guys run a great forum, thanks. I can't use the 'Remember Me' box on my computer at work and I like to check things over my lunch hour.
