Why don't you have a board for advertising? / You need a games/spam board!
Here at SSD, we try and keep a professional look and atmosphere. The staff feel an advertising board would have a negative impact on this and so there will be no such board in the near future.
You need a new look! / This skin has been on too long!
It is a very rare thing for a website to change its look even twice in it's whole life and so, why should we need to change our look just to give people something new to look at?
If we are to make any changes in the near future, we will do it on our own terms, and not because we are being pressured into it.
I like such and such a version better, bring it back! / Why don't you have all of the skins on the forum?
We are reluctant to allow our members to choose the template they view SSD in mainly because we do not want all the work we have put into a new template to be overshadowed by an older one. We prefer everyone to use the same template to prevent this from happening.
Also, it is not feasible to have a template selection for our members as it would involve a lot of coding, severely reducing the speed at which the forum loads.
Why don't you move onto *insert forum software here*? / ProBoards is rubbish.
We do not share the view that the forum service a website uses is inferior just because it is remotely hosted/free to use. We are well established on ProBoards and have no wish to move at all. Our stance will not change on this.
You should have more affiliates. / Want to affiliate with my new forum?
As a professional forum/website, we only affiliate with likewise minded websites. Also, we wish to keep the number of sites down so that all sides benefit more from affiliation.
You need a music sub-board or board.
As a primarily graphics and coding forum, we try not to add boards that may take us away from our main subjects. Such discussion can be held in the Chillout board.
Bring back graphic clans.
Due to the lack of enthusiasm and unwillingness of those involved to produce work for the clans/take part in battles, clans will not be returning to SSD.
You should have some codes for *insert forum software here*
Due to our coding area being a primarily ProBoard related, we do not - at the moment - cater for other forum services. If you have a substantial amount of codes for other forum software that you have made yourself, we would welcome them with open arms. But, you have to understand that we would need regular contributors of such codes in order to warrant a separate board for it.
Why don't you have a chat box?
A chat box is not, and never will be needed on SSD as we already have a place for all such chat -- Chillout. Should we have one it would be abused by spammers and would be more hassle than it is worth moderating it.
Where can I check my PMs at?
Currently, look at the bottom-right hand corner of your screen. There should be a little pinwheel. If it's all colored, and spinning, it means you have a new PM. click it, and it'll open a link to your inbox, and show the amount of private messages you have in total.
