Great work!

Hello Pleo World,

Robert Oschler here. Terrific looking site and the green theme is perfect for Pleo! The high quality background shots and the front page Flash animation are a real treat for the eyes. I look forward to everything you have planned next!

I agree its a great design like the new logo too! ;)

Ditto comments above.

Very nice, modern and simple (but not simplistic!) website.

Well done.

I agree. super job!

[jtforums]

They should put the ability to have custom titles into this forum, though.


I agree though, great design. Would be even cooler with a picture of Pleo up at the top.

Hi jtforums, I think this is the "First Hatch" version of the forums, as October draws closer you may see changes here in the forums as well as on the main site. After all we have to gussy up for Pleo's arrivial right? ;)

Yup, they have to at least tame what I did to the Pleo Cafe, when I went "hog-wild" and started a whole mess of threads. Expect some consolidation, and order restored to the Cafe.

At least we all let them know what can happen when the masses stumble into your establishment, and make themselves feel at home. Now they'll be more prepared for the real onslaught in October. LOL ;)

Yes, and we will refer to these as the "good old days" when it was actually possible to read every message in the forum! :)

If you have any interest in group dynamics as pertain to community software, this is a fascinating article...

And then, as time sets in, difficulties emerge. In this case, one of the difficulties was occasioned by the fact that one of the institutions that got hold of some modems was a high school. And who, in 1978, was hanging out in the room with the computer and the modems in it, but the boys of that high school. And the boys weren't terribly interested in sophisticated adult conversation. They were interested in fart jokes. They were interested in salacious talk. They were interested in running amok and posting four-letter words and nyah-nyah-nyah, all over the bulletin board.

And the adults who had set up Communitree were horrified, and overrun by these students. The place that was founded on open access had too much open access, too much openness. They couldn't defend themselves against their own users. The place that was founded on free speech had too much freedom. They had no way of saying "No, that's not the kind of free speech we meant."

Basically, in short time we can expect a bunch of religious arguments, external enemies, and sex talk on this forum.

Can't wait ;)

P.S. I'll try to remember this post and link back to it once it starts happening here.

Actually Todd, that is part of why Cami and I are here, to remind folks to keep conversations safe and clean enough for younger Pleo owners an fans as well as to help anyone out that might need help. ;)
