O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01	Ok, for those of you who were at Bar 9 last night, you know that Anthony and I had a nice little chat. We now know where we stand and what direction we have to take. We will be remaining as OA.com, and as an O & A site. If the site becomes a fun place again and gets that light-hearted atmosphere back, we will be supported again. It's that simple. So here's what we will be doing: 1. The site redesign. I spoke to Gooch & FTL, and we have a WOW design concept which will be a radical change visually. 2. Post counts will be moved to profiles to try and eliminate the air of superiority that some of the veteran members feel. 3. New ratings systems, and hopefully some other new features can be added to make the site less bland and possibly more functional. We will obviously try and expand on these ideas, and do whatever we can as a unit to lighten the mood. Other suggestions and ideas are welcome. Let's move forward. I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit

I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	The thing I'm wondering is how we become more light-hearted and less rip-the-idiot. It won't be easy. "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me forever.." HOO HOO.. I INVENTED SIGS LIKE THIS!!

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	quote: The thing I'm wondering is how we become more light-hearted and less rip-the-idiot. It won't be easy. That's the easy part, FTL. Think of it as: Do as I say, not as I do. D'OH! Seriously, I think we need more clarification on that. I was thinking more lighthearted = no more personal board drama NOT do not rip-the-idiot. If we have to stop ripping the idiot to get more show support, I will not be posting much, for the good of the site, of course. AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00	Really glad to hear. I was worried about abandoning the OA part. I mean, that is the only draw.
