@ Bass
Looking through some old threads(on ES) it hit why some are 2nd guessing joining ESR.
Many of the "vets' seem to have serious beef with YOU in the past. There were some . . .things. . .said.
Hope they are big enough to look past what was said in the past . . . . .and may be said in the future.

I had my own opinion in those days and some took offense with it to get personal, but I'm not holding any grudges with anyone, when I started this board with the the help and major input of the admins and mods I intended this place to be for all as long as they present their views in a civil manner. If some old vets want to hold grudges I don't care, I keep it moving.

You're so right, in the old days some of us were a little immature but I respect all the vets and the "new vets" who really stepped up and set their minds to honest discussion and bringing light to new information. If some people want to hold grudges[and I know who they, well he is] thats their problem and I'm not sweating it, it would be nice if they were here but if not we keep it moving.

Mods. I like what you are doing but you may be "over-tweaking". Too many sections will result in watering down the effect needed.
eg we have two movies/video section. Why not make it just ONE video section.
Why a religion and science etc. These can be in the General section.
remember KISS

Hello, I like the looks of the site. I know the frequent posters would like more imput. But I am not able to do that. For one thing I'm a business student and that takes all my energy. Second, I know SOME history, however my knowledge pales in comparison to Djehuti, Al Takruri and others. So I hope you don't mind if I just lurk around!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Locdiva, I agree with Anansi, don't feel intimidated, we're all family. We are all here to share knowledge as well as gain knowledge. And if any of these brothers try to get to 'hard core' with you, don't worry I will put them in check. ;D And good luck in your studies.

Soon enough we will get it together, please try to remain patient as we evolve. We wanted to give it more time to see which direction the board was headed, i.e. the most frequently discussed topics, and move in the same direction with the board. But we would like to keep pictures and videos of human variation separated from videos of Erykah Badu, if you understand what I mean. We appreciate your input.

Just a question for everyone. Why was this forum created in the first place. Was there some disagreement with the ES folks? I occasionally lurk on ES and I have noticed it can get a bit nasty. Is this one of the reasons why this site was created?

Early Egypt is in, sorry, should've moved it earlier. Fayoum is more about 'race' than Egyptology. If its emphasis was on the portraiture and masks themselves I'd move it to Egyptology. SIDENOTE (addressed to all in general): I think the one or two 'race' threads already in Egyptology are all that I'm going to allow. Why? There's much much more to ancient Egypt than "they was black." Hey Altk Just hit me. Couple of my threads should be in the Egyptology section eg Early Egypt and Fayoum. your decision.

Is this one of the reasons why this site was created? It was mainly created by Charlie Bass in response to lack of moderation and trolling. To recreate the 'Old Glory Days' of ES, when vets would debate and disagree without all the immature name calling and troll baiting.

Am I missing something. tried copying and then pasting an image using the the "add image tag". It does work. Not sure I follow your sugestion. can you clarify. Trying to post multiply images in one post. How can I pick more than one pic in a posting, It seems that I have to post one pic per posting while others can post numerous pics per posting Well to post multiple just place the image next to each-other like this img<insert pic>img then next to it just do it the same Img<pic>Img Img<pic>Img If you want to have the pics follow each other then use your enter key ex;Img<pic>Img use your enter key here Img <pic>Img hit enter and you get Img<pic>Img Img<pic>ImG
