Some noteable differences of Baked to cann.com ...

-- Faster registration - no manual verification of users by mods; instead random image text displayed during registration ... not overly user-friendly to older folks with poor eyesight, but for the target audience should be fine; they're used to decyphering such images during registration elsewhere.

-- PMs will be enabled by default (can be disabled in UserCP).

-- IMG tag enabled by default (can potentially reduce user privacy; slower page loading - but can be disabled in UserCP)

-- Longer edit time ... 15 minutes.

-- Delete thread / posts ... not sure about this one yet?, but considering enabling that too due to the content matter.

(for serious activism, grow info, etc the cann.com boards remains the place)

Now the question is what should be at Baked ...?

* What should the Baked logo look like? -feel free to attach logo ideas to this thread.

* The current slogan for Baked is "Baked - The Community of High Folks" ... welcome suggestions...

* What forum topics should Baked have?

* Other than the forums, what else should the Baked website have?

On a related note ...

Admin assistance needed - if you are experienced with vBulletin, have some knowledge of PHP, familiar with MySQL (at least a little), and basically have a good computing background, please contact me via PM and/or via email at [email protected]

This could be paid work, as a private contractor, depending on the scope of the tasks involved ... contact me with your qualifications, references (optional, but helpful), and other info that may be helpful in choosing an admin(s) to run the Baked website (I'm also seeking admins for some other sites too - so even if someone else is chosen to admin Baked, there may be openings elsewhere) ...

Contact me now if you have vBulletin admin experience, etc as explained above. Help is needed NOW!

PM and/or email me [email protected]
