Could be but also just events around these parts. If someone knows of something fun or interesting coming up(concert,rodeo,exhibit,etc) they could post it in the calendar. Then if you're lookin for somethin to do you could check the "calendar" for suggestions.

Right on. It could be perty cool if people use it. I hate reading a thread that something fun happened and I missed it.

Is there an option to start a thread that would display posts in reverse order(newest post first)?

I think you can choose this in your settings. It might be called threaded view or something like that. But I'm pretty sure that there are preferences that you can set that determine how posts are displayed.

Went ahead and loaded the schedule as well. If anything, it will now show the day's game on the main page near where birthdays usually appear. Thanks for the quick suggestion.

Admin,

Are there any rules against plagiarism here on the board? Please advise.

If there was, Carolinajazz would have been banned a decade ago. I don't think he's ever posted an original thought. It's all unattributed copy/paste from his Bible/Conspiracy theory websites.

To be fair, you can't say "all." He usually tacks some sort of a non-sequiter conclusion onto the end of his piece of plagiarism in an apparent attempt to make it look like he wrote the whole thing. Also, every once in a while he offers a short rant of his own composition.

Hmm, interesting question. I seem to recall one time many years ago that we felt it necessary to give a warning for something plagiarized, but I don't remember the details on that and I can't think of anything along those lines recently. But I certainly strongly encourage people to post links/attributions whenever they are quoting someone else.

Encourage to the point of warning or infracting? It seems to me that a message board that is so concerned with keeping foul language and mature subjects off the the main sections would also be interested in keeping the free flow of original thought. I mean, what are we if we are not our words? I appreciate the response Headstapo but I'd also like a response from Admin.

Like I said, I can only recall one time that we warned or infracted someone for that, and I don't recall the details. If you see posts which are problematic in this way feel free to report and we'll have a discussion amongst mods about what's the appropriate thing to do.

I thought I was admin here... but if you mean Jason, feel free to PM him to make sure he sees your question.
