It's a New Year and it always brings up the thoughts of what could I do better on steerplanet to make it a more functional, enjoyable, etc.
I can't promise that I can deliver on everything, but I will make an effort to put the more popular suggestions into effect.
Edited to add list so far.
1. Easier access to older topics. - Not sure I will able to address that one, you can always you the search feature or click on your username and "show posts".
2. No Changes at all - thanks for the compliments, we definitely won't change anything to the core, but just some tweaks.
3. More forums - I have been on the fence about this, I like the current setup as it keeps plenty of fresh info, but I think in the future we might need to expand as the sheer number of threads grow.
4. The classifieds would greatly benefit from having a location requirement. I will see what I can do, it is just a forum like the big show and not an actual classifieds code, but I can think of a couple work arounds. I would probably refrain from a post limit as a lot of new posters are drawn to the site for the ability to sell an item.
5. Off-topic Discussion - relates to the the more forum idea from above. This will probably happen soon as the page for the big show fills up so quick. It would not be mandatory to post every off topic discussion, but anything to do with religion or politics would be.
6. Sire report page. Jeff from cattle.com has something with first hand reports.
7. Mandatory location in profile, I can send a pm around asking people to update their profile, but probably won't make it mandatory as some people don't want to dilvulge.
