New Site Features

Welp, I know this site isnt used much. I still need to get to work on advertising but I feel that all the puzzle pieces are in place to make this site work as well as it can with the tools that I have.
Some of the new noted features:

  • The chat room now fully works, including a help bot named TalkSpringfield that sits in there 24×7 unless my server dies.
  • A new review template. The link lets you just fill in questions about the business you want to review. It will make all the posts look the same. In the future I can use this to help make a search able interface!
  • Ad Managment. Currently theres no ads but the google ones.. and only once per page if theres more than 6 replies to a topic. This is very lean, but as we develop sponsors, or just want to advertise somone it will be easy to do.
  • Birthday posts. Birthdays are special. A bot will wish you a happy birthday via forum post..  We will also send you a email or just a personal message based on your profile settings.
  • People can now add comments to your profile. This might be good for small reviews of businesses or just letting everyone know how helpful a individual is.
  • When you first join, the bot makes a topic in the introduce yourself section. We really want you to say hi, thats the whole point of this site!
  • Theres a TalkSpringfield watermark on all of the images added to our site if you use the attachment feature. This is just to let people know who is hosting it if they hotlink to it. Other sites may just not allow it, but we want to be as social as possible. Go ahead and send the picture to others.

We hope you enjoy the site and if you could, please!!!! share this link on your facebook to get us some more followers as well as registered users. Soon we will be able to allow people to register on the forum with their facebook credentials, but until then, we offer OPENID as well as standard registration.

A great article about people playing hockey in our own Washington park is over at Nodnarb.net. Check out the article as well as some of the images.
