I figured, but I think we should know what you guys are doing, especially if you are far enough along to have an "lpf_awards_july" account.

ummm.... maybe we could make the site look a bit flasher' date=' cuz i've been a member for a while, and we have had the same design[/quote']See Here

How about a Site Shop thatsells t-shirts with linkinparkforums.com on, or have LP's albums, or have some remixes done by members of LPF on CD.

Excuse me, there is no underscores in that name. Okay, I'm done there.

Yes, we have been working on them. No, we are not finished getting it all sorted out yet. When we finish getting everything sorted out, Hopefully by the end of the week, expect some serious talk about it.

Selling remix CDs is a no-no. Copyright laws are a bit too harsh to take that risk. ;)

ATLien brings up a valid point about the inactive members... we might not want to delete them...

but, is there a way to maybe send a message through their email asking for their support? maybe some of them will get active that way...

just a a thought

Ok, I am going to address these issues right now...
Inactive accounts: First off let me ask you this, would you be more likely to take the time to register a a forum that has 4000 members, or 400 member? Most forums recieve more registrations if they have a good bit of user accounts. I know alot are not active, but why stop someone who might want to come back to the forum in the future. Look at Vahs, he went like 9 months inactive. If I had deleted his account he might not have come back.

News/Portal: I would gladly add a portal to this site if I could find a group of respectful members that are willing to take the time to find news stories. If you would be willing ot then please PM me and I will put this together.

Banning: There is no possible way to keep someone from coming to this site. I try my best keep an eye out for banned users who recreate accounts. It is hard though. Anyone here is more then welcome to PM me if they suspect a member is someon who has been banned in the past.

Punishment: In the next few weeks, I will be entering a new punishment policy that is going to ban users for 1 week on there second warning/compalint. Then ban completely if they have a third warning/complaint.

Inactiveness of LPF: Ok, I know this is a major problem, but there are a few things that are causing this all of which are out of my hands. One, it is summer, people are taking trips, people are outside more. Second, LP is not doing anything. They have no tour, no album, no news. Nothing! It is hard for people to talk about LP when LP has nothing to talk about.

Adding mods: noted. I will add some in the near future. Some stuff is going on behind the scenses of LPF at the moment and they are delaying somethings I have wanted to do.

Fighting/Spaming/Flaming: Next to every post is a [broken External Image]:http://www.linkinparkforums.com/images/LPF/buttons/report.gif icon. Click this to report post to me and the mods. If a member is causing problems, report his post. It is hard for just a few people to read ever single post made on this site. We need our members to make us aware of bad post.

Keep them coming. I am always interested in what my members have to say. I am very much open to hearing what you all have to say.

Users have been known to have extended absences... I've taken breaks from several boards over the years. The point is that I was active previous to my leaving and remained active when I returned. How many registered usernames are there that have gone unused, say for over a year?

The longest I've gone was 6 months.

If and when a person decides to come back, creating a new account isn't all that bad. I know of some LPUers who have decided to renew after their first account/subscription expired... So they just create a new username and in their sig will list 'Formerly known as (x)'.

Not a big deal, and I completely understand the whole concept of wanting it to look like a more active community with higher member numbers... Currently the LPU has over 70,000 registered users. Current ACTIVE estimates are around 1000. I'd say less than that at the moment...

I think with some of the members, it would be pointless; the ones who joined up a year ago and have never once posted. It seems fairly clear that they aren't going to return.

However, an email prompt could be a good idea for members who used to be active, but are no longer? It's true that people just do take breaks sometimes. I remember when I first joined here, I wasn't terrible active for a month or two before I settled in.

Would it be possible to have a facility for members to request to have their account terminated? That way, if somebody knew they were going to leave for good, they can ask a Mod/Admin to remove their account and off they go, rather than just going, and leaving everybody unsure whether or not they are still here. I know that if I personally were going to leave - although I have no intention of it - I wouldn't like to leave my account here just as it is.

ATLien is right though. If a person has made an account, they could come back at any time. I can't even count how many times I have read this line in the New Member Introductions threads:

"Hi. I made an account here a while ago, but I decided to start posting now."

As far as giveaways go, maybe we should consider the Hybrid Theory EP or other rare LP goodies. I would love a chance to get something like that..
