Default Hello All!

Hey, everybody. My Name's Dick, and I'm the new Internet Brands project manager for OSO. I'll be here to work out any technical issues you have on the site.

Since I've been here at IB for a while, I'm fairly familiar with the site, and I've even done a little work on here in the past. I'm looking forward to fixing some of the issues here and working to improve the user experience.

Stormybot will still be doing a lot of the maintenance here, along with some other people, but I'll here to help guide the development of the site.

I had an excellent phone call with SpeedGirl this afternoon, and I think she's got some great ideas on ways to better the functionallity of the site.

I wish to extend an invitation to all members to contact me with your technical needs. I am always available to work with users to ensure they have the best user experience possible.

Regards,

Dick

Good to know you are here. The 'user experience' you mention has been somewhat less than enjoyable as of late.

That's what I hear, and why I'm here.

The name's not a joke.... My name's Dick and I work at IB. I've heard enough dick jokes in my day that it doesn't bother me. When I started this thread they made jokes about how fast it would take for the dick jokes to start. I'm impressed that it took this long!

The first thing I plan on doing here is getting the current issues fixed. We want to make sure that the site's running properly. Right now, I'm working on some infrastructure issues and next I'll be cleaning up some code so that things will run smoother.

Beyond that, we'll be doing a test upgrade of the forum's core software, which will bring extra stability and additional features.

You ask, "Why should I sign back up?" and "What are we going to do to make you feel the love again?"

For me, these are difficult questions to answer. I haven't been on the site for years, and I am not a member of your community. I don't understand the personalities here. What I bring to the table is a long history of running online communities, and that history has taught me that each one is very different. I can install plugins and give you new features, but I don't know which of those you'll want and which you won't.

What am I going to do to make you feel the love again? The best answer I have is this: "Whatever you tell me to. If it's possible, I'll do what I can to get it done."

I can't find an option for spell check when starting a thread. I just hate thinking that I may start a thread and look dumb with my spelling. I already look dumb with my opinion. I don't need another fault.
