Human nature is readily managed by MODERATING...

Someone re-arranging content so that it is complimentary to the community, and readily searchable later... everyone fell into line and fashioned their posts to match the lead.

Used to happen a lot, doesn't happen much anymore.

Happy coaching!

Well, that too.  This Bus Topics board is pretty much a catchall for all sorts of topics, and it's difficult for moderators to impose any kind of discipline on a forum that's been around as long as this one.  Moderation is one of those too little/too much things, it's difficult to strike a balance that makes everyone happy.

That I agree with to much moderation it becomes a old Yahoo page or another board no one go to ,lol but most of the moderators here seem to be on Face Book though that's JMO

Ohhhh.  The Forum and the Subscriptions are two different software packages and names and email addresses used for the Forum are not always the same so that would be a monumental task to set this up and it still would not be accurate.  We estimate that less than 10% of the folks who read the Forum are subscribers to the magazine unfortunately, which is why we set this Donation button up in the first place.  But we will consider this perhaps in the future when we have more time and money.

might I suggest Diamond, Emerald, Moissanite and CZ :)

Thanks to MC for your Donation to keep the Forum alive.  I hope you are enjoying the comments by many about bus conversions.

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year. I am at the Flxible rally in Joshua Tree, CA this week.  About 11 buses here so far.  This is the pre-rally, the official rally starts on January 10th (tomorrow).  They allow all kinds of buses and there is still plenty of room so stop on by.

Used to happen before we had so many posts so thanks for offering to organize all of the content on the BCM Forum. We were looking for another Moderator anyway. With over 379,000 posts it shouldn't take you very long to categorize all of the posts by topics and sub-topics.  Let me know when you are finished so we can share it with the community.  Contact Phil and he will set you up as a Moderator and then we can get you started.  ;D

P.S. Like all Moderators, this is not a paid position but you should be able to deduct your time from your taxes as this is a non-profit organization.

Thank you DF for your wonderful donation.  We appreciate that people appreciate the value of the Forum.  And remember, if you are already a magazine subscriber, your subscription covers your Donation already. If everyone who reads the Forum was a Bus Conversion Magazine subscriber, donations would not even be necessary.  Thanks everyone for your support.

BTW, on Valentines day, we will once again offer 50% off 1-year subscription to new members. Be watching the Forum for the announcement so you can sign your "Significant Other" up for a great bedside reading magazine.  It also cures insomnia.  ;D
