Im sure this issue has been raised before, but here goes.

What is the reason for not having a proper full on forum here? At the moment, we just have a list of blogs that people can reply to. Surely a forum would be a better idea? I dont really need to state reasons why, because they're pretty obvious. Keeping track of blogs on here is proving difficult due to the sheer number of them!

The blogs kind of act as a forum hence the title 'blog forum'.
I would like to see a search function though.
At the moment if I want to search for a blog that I read a while back (and for some reason need to read again) I google it using the keywords: Threadless, Blog, <and whatever I can remember about the blog>

Oh yes, a search function.

Hey Ash, ...
are you wearing a girly tee version of Russell! Hows Yer Ma in your profile pic? It looks a lot like an AA shirt

Yeah, I would love to see a full blown Threadless forum, or at least a search function.

Add a simple search function, and private messaging and I'll be happy. I think it would then work enough like a forum to rock, but still be pretty "different" from most places.

In a good way. Oh, and they've already said that PM'ing is on it's way.

Leave the poor guy alone. If he wants to wear girly shirts, so be it.

I sort of figured it was abandwidth issue. Threadless bogs down fairly regularly with standard business traffic. Imagine a forum added to that where people post thousands of images for no other reason than "THIS IS SOOOO COOOOOOL!" And of course everyone would HAVE to have avatars and signatures for their forum profiles which would only increase the load. There's enough static as is with just the blogs. I almost shudder to think what a regular forum would spawn.

Threadless needs a phpbb-style forum, 'nuff said. This 'blog' thing just doesn't cut it.

No, this chaos which is the blog is sufficient enough on these hectic times.

No categories, the erratic blog titles are disinformative enough. No change!
littlem
littlem on Nov 30 '05 at 9:39pm
change is good, but not in here.

the only change i'd suggest is a designated fart chamber for littlem. otherwise it's perfect as is.

I'm all for a forum. However, I get the sense that Threadless has concerns about moderating and such.
abeadles
abeadles on Nov 30 '05 at 9:53pm
i dont think trhreadless needs a forum like that.
what it has now is awesome.
look how much money they are making, they must know how things work.
i think this awesome blog system helps contribute to their sales
littlem
littlem on Nov 30 '05 at 9:54pm
i know. maybe i should try to control my sphinctor muscles a little better. After all, it's not fair to pollute other's air.

I think this swamp keeps the worst trolls away. Should it be made easier for them to locate and settle down here?
d3d
   d3d on Nov 30 '05 at 9:58pm
that's the oddest thing about this place. it's about the most pleasant and best behaved crowd i ever saw despite the lack of moderation, or perhaps because of it.
it's like the reverse of slutty catholic schoolgirls. the tolerant environment makes it impossible to be a rebel.

awwww d3d you are right.
we are really civilized here.

i'm still thinking we need scratch and sniff on the blog

threadless, why no scratch and sniff!!!!!

you don't really want that, do you , Steve?
