[Zok]

• Someone made a thread about a bug they found with loading pages from this site in IE7. A solution has not been found - we're still working on it. Pages consistently load partially or very slowly in IE 7. I believe it's a problem with where some of our hacks have been hooked, so I may have to toy around with it a bit before we can know for sure.
• In another thread we talked about whether or not regular donors should get any other benefits - mostly a status/mood like function (like twitter or facebook). There were lots of arguments for and against it - no word on whether or not it will ever be implemented. I reckon the conversation will resurface eventually
• I started a thread asking about Anonymous posting - we will likely implement this feature. In certain forums users would be able to make a thread anonymously (only moderators would know who it is - to prevent abuse).
• I started a thread about people spamming the site with totse clone sites. I tried to identify what is/is not against the rules so that all moderators will know when spam has and has not occurred.
• I made a thread asking all moderators to have a "useful resources" thread in their forum with links to the wiki. This is not only for SEO reasons but also to help people find the information they're looking for.
• In the same thread, I told the moderators that they should be on the lookout for good editors and good posts for the wiki.

That's all
