I am thinking about adding a Simple News links feature to the main page. It would be modelled something flike bourqe or Fark. It is going to take some time to figure out how to make ti work but when I do get it working I will let you know.
The way that you are going to be able to add to it is by PMing me or emailing me. It will be updated every eveing if not more.
So start sending me news links NOW.
But before I go and put a butt-load of work into this thing what do you think of the idea?
So I have finished the blocks script....it still has some work to do, but at least it is functioning.
So send me all of the links that you find today and I will add it to the databse when I get home each evening, hopefully I will have a way set in the near future that anyone can submit links and I will just simply approve them, but that is another weekend worth of work
I have finished making a script so that I can add links without needing to be around, however I haven't made it into a block so that means that members will not be able to suggest links to add.

I have been working on making this newslinks thing a completely integrated module. This will allow anyone o submit a link, and then an admin will approve it. ONce approved it will be added to the site.
So if anyone here know PHP and would like to help let me know, if I get no help I will probably get something together by Monday. Hopefully no one will notice a difference except for the "submit a link" button.
Also ONLY registered members will be allowed to submit links, and there will be rules associaed to the links.
If anyone has any ideas on some of the rules that I should include please let me know

I was thinking would it be better to just put everything into one place. Instead of news link and other links going into whatever sections you got partitioned...fuck you know what just get online so I can ramble and try to make sense.
The reasoning for this is that news links usually become out of date in a rather short time. However the Web Links is designed to be a service to the memebers who are looking for something specific.
Also I am planning on making it SE friendly so that I will be able to trade links with other sites and get better placement in the search engines.
On top of all that, I do have some plans to make the news links look much better, owever I don't have the time right now to put it into action. What I do want right now is more content, more reasons for people to visit and then stick around
