Kool think you might out do me lol but i don't us VB i hate it.

lol. Nearly 30 years writing code, much of that time being paid to do it, makes something like this a doddle.

But don't Diss VB. It might not be "cool" but it's useful for throwing (windows based) things together quickly. One thing you learn is to look at the tools available to you and to choose the best one for the task in hand, be that VB, C++, PHP, assembler or COBOL. It took me longer to find a background image than it did to construct the rest of that program!

I had hoped that my comments might stimulate some slightly deeper thought and consideration.

I was thinking about the following:

Branding in the light of a possible re-launch under a new name
Making release of a lightweight desktop app a feature of a re-launch
Distribution
Support and enhancement
Explanation of the status of the content of the database
Links to the forum and perhaps "hot news"
Slogans more fitting to a campainging group like Sayno than to MSE

The database and the forum are the work of a community, who "own" the content in a moral, if not a legal, sense.

Developers with something to contribute to the project are very welcome to join the community, if they wish.

Some members of the community are very keen for there to be some form of cohesion. I support and assist this objective.

Libertarians would suggest that anyone should feel free to whatever they like with the brand name and the data in the database, so long as they can avoid legal action by the owner. I do not share that view.

I'm with irrelevant (post #7) on this. From reading the initial post, it was unclear, at least to me, what, specifically, you were proposing or offering. I could make a reasonable assumption, but the concept of the application was unclear. I can deal with the incorrect spelling - no major problem at all, but, assuming you have a programming talent, and a viable service, which may well be of use, then making your service understandable to the group as a whole would, I suggest, be to your benefit. Anyway good luck with whatever you are trying to achieve. From my own perspective, the accessibility of alternative numbers, however that is achieved, is to be welcomed. Personally, I would make the database open to anyone, but there again, I don't 'own' the resource or fund the hosting of the service.

As from November 21, 2013, I no longer participate in the forum and am unable to receive private messages.

Rex

You claim not to understand the comments that have been made in a totally helpful spirit and are even unclear as to the purpose of the forum.

I suggest that you look on your engagement here as a positive opportunity for learning about a world that is a lot more than a series of 1's and 0's, even though they can be used to enable exchanges of ideas and information.

I am sure that most contributors are happy for any particular item published here to be regarded as "public". When it comes to the aggregated content of the database and the forum, assembled under the brand name and accessed away from this website where its means of sustenance exist, we would perhaps see things a little differently.

Some of us even think that we have personal ownership of sections of the site. That may be going too far, but it does reflect the general way that all contributors feel about the information that they deliver here.

Please try to get your head around these ideas, even though you perhaps find them threatening and unwelcome in "your" thread.

Please read my last comment it does not say my project as enderd just this is now off topic there for i no longer be posting about it, and please don't get me wrong i do understand you very clearly what your on about i just say i follow said rules not site or other peoples rules but rules i like
to happen if i offered a service just like this one just commen respect really.

My reply to you would be your comments are fair but in the wrong place, this was not a place to hijack my post if i repost later when the project is ready for public beta people don't do this again or i will with draw my ideas, and if you know how the database works you know i don't have
access to it as there is no API offered via this service so like anyone else i have return the data the same way as a webbrowser there for i have
to return there data shown on the site meaning if siad partys asked me not to and i did i am braking the law one thing i am not willing to do.

I have no problem with this site or yourself as you seem to bring the wrong matter to the table my problems are with others.

I have requested this topic to beclosed if it does get closed i bid you all the well and i hope if this site grants it to have a releace in the next week or so.

I like to thank irrelevant for his idea on tabing.

Sorry all but i do mean it this time this is my last post on this topic thanks all the same.
