Welcome back!
First off let me apologize for the amount of time we were down, it took a little longer then I expected. Its been a long day for me as my day started at 3:30am.
We have finished the software upgrade and have added a bunch of new forums!
And while most of the work was done this evening, its still not 100% done yet.
First about the new "Prime Time" forums...
A few months ago in our Pub Members (supporters) forum I came up with an idea to allow our members to create their own forums discussing their favorite televisions shows! It was one I wanted to move on but couldn't due to some software limitations.
Because of the limitations I thought I would need to redesign the styles used to make these new features work. After some brain storming I figure out how to make it work without changing the styles!
The new "Prime Time" forums are sorted by Networks and soon we will allow for our supporers to apply to become the moderator of their own forum for their favorite TV show! We here at SatelliteGuys will give our members the ball and the ability to make thier own fan forum for their favorite show, how far they take that ball is up to them.!
I don't believe this idea has been done anywhere else, and its one I am proud of!
Now as far as our "Prime Time" forums go we are in phase 1. Tonight the anchor forums were made and we have started moving posts from the old network forum in to the correct areas. This will take a few days and we will probably only move the last 6 month to a year into the correct network area. The rememainder of the messages will be placed into our archive since they have not been added to in quite some time.
We have added a Viral Video forum where you can share your favorite YouTube videos with other SatelliteGuys members! Currently only YouTube videos are supposed but based on your suggestions we can expand the video support to other providers as well.
Another forum I personally am excited about is the "Internet Radio" forum, this one will let you talk abou upcoming echnology from services such as Slacker Radio, Pandora, Live365 and other internet radio services!
This is only the start, Rome was not built in a day.
Later this week I will post some exciting news regarding the DirecTV Cutting Edge (CE) Program. Look for some new forums to support the CE program plus some other surprises to come!
I thank you all for your support and for all the great ideas you send over. It is because of your support and suggestions that we are America's Most Popular Satellite & Home Theater Site!
MORE TO COME! (But now its time for me to get to bed... been a long day!)
STAY TUNED!
