Free registration at the forum removes this block.We have The Speedway - Private Forum and I think it is very useful.
The threads in that forum do not appear in the Latest Post section on the home page.
I'd like to request that the posts from this forum also appear in there so I don't miss them. I know that many will try to access this given that notoriety, but I think this is even better as that way, those that do not have the right speed, get motivated to work for rep so they can access it now.
If this sounds like a stupid question, I then must apologize.
I read and re-read all the posts here and am unsure if this particular post was ever mentioned.
What if there was a certain section that was nothing more than "success training" only taught by those who have achieved "elite" status? (Only if the "elite" have the time, of course)
The "select few" who enter this "training" must meet critical, stringent requirements such as, rep speed, possibly reccomendations from other "elite" members, etc...
and MJ must have the final approval or to take the pressure off of him, have MJ and other top "elitists" (cabinet members) take it to a vote.
Explaining the full requirements to its members should not offend anybody, but make those who want to get this "success training" work harder to reach those goals!
Is this even possible?
I looked into this this morning ... new Speedway posts now show in the Recent Posts list. Unfortunately, if you don't meet the access levels, they won't appear in the list. So for you and I, they show. For others, it doesn't. There is no way to make it so the new posts appear, but aren't accessible. Its a function of the module add-on.
bigmako, I think it is very possible. However......
Isn't the forum already providing this for everybody?
The information is there already.
What prevents people to do what the successful ones have done?
What else is needed?
I think you are asking for "free one-on-one mentorship"
Like others have said here, "Mentor help needs to be earned. It is not an entitlement." (trust me, I know, I had to work hard to get to a level where a mentor wanted to even talk to me, and then, when it was time, actually deliver, and pull the trigger, and do as they say).
PS: And no, it is NOT a stupid question. I think you may want to ask yourself another question... what is missing for you? what information do you need? I am confident that, if you post your questions (i.e. ask the right questions) here, somebody will answer. The problem is, many newbies don't like the answers they get. Are you one of those? Does the world have to change to make you happy? or is it you who have to change?
Suggestions:
1) Google ads always show the same site to visit. Maybe tweak that a little so that it shows a little more random ads or something.
2) Replace Google ads (or add) with links to fastlane books, ebooks, etc. on amazon trough affiliate links.
No need to reply, just was an Idea
Thanx I hope to get the signed book from PhxMJ one day
Me Too!
I think if you "subscribe" to a thread, it will show up whenever it is updated...I know we can add RSS feeds for forums, but how do I add them for threads?
I'd like to follow some threads but in the current format I know I only see the first post for those threads, nothing else.
Believe me MJ, I'm not the 'fan' or 'follower' kind of person, but I don't fully understand why, maybe because you made this board, maybe that you are in the tech field but I really really think you are an awesome person and someone to follow.
Respect! :icon_super:

I think we should also have an area for "Largest gain in Rep for the week/month" Otherwise new brilliant members are hard to see amongst all the 2000 pointers.
I think you can only subscribe to forums, not threads via RSS. I haven't found a thread via RSS ... if anyone finds it, please let me know.
I think either I or someone else proposed this idea a while back, but it was rejected because all of those interesting and productive conversations would be lost in the chat. The idea of the forums is to be able to refer back to all of that priceless info.What about setting up a chat?
I see some problems with this:
-More time consuming than a forum (maybe)
-More difficult to moderate
But it would be cool to bounce ideas and such. Maybe it could be linked to the rep speed so only the members of the speedway could gain access (thus making it easier to moderate)
Just an idea as always :smx4:
I'm not sure...definitely a possibility, though.So if there was a chat log the chat could be implemented?
I'll check if theres such thing
So, what about setting up a meebo room?
It can be password protected and supports embbeding media (video from youtube and stuff like that) it also keeps a log from previous conversations.

Diane, maybe you will be interested in this: http://www.tangler.com/
As far as this meebo rooms thing, I looks like you could easily create a room (it took me about 20secs to create a -free no admin- one) I'm going to create an account and see the features in the admin of a chat room.
It looks like it would be the same thing, for example:
Create meebo chat room (or use a previously created) password protect it
Give the audience the password to posts for X time
Change the passwords
