The comments section on Yahoo articles has this implemented. Where too many down votes you have to expand the comment. I always expand the comment, curiosity gets me every time.
I think notice should be taken to the responses on here. We, as the mob, aren’t asking for this so we can shit on the staff or talk about porn, I think everyone sees the true benefit in it. Correct me if I’m wrong here but is there another site where people from similar backgrounds in similar current situations can kick around ideas openly? I won’t say PGP could build a community or following like the chive, but essentially you would be building a brand. The site would generate traffic on its own without being reliable on just the writers for the site.
The Gartner Group states that 80% of your company’s future revenue will come form 20% of your existing customers.
In 1 second of any business class you learn the value of customer retention and the cost of attracting a new customer. PGP has a strong following with the same individuals I see on here daily. I just see something that has strong potential and this site could be the vehicle to provides it.
Is moderation out of the question? To be perfectly honest with you I never spent a lot of time on the TFM forum because well, you know… I’m in my late twenties (PGP) so I can’t speak on what debacle might have occurred over there, but I can see a true benefit on this site.
I’ve been thinking and I agree with the suggestions that there should be a PG Forum. Since there isn’t a space for me to discuss I will start here. 3 quick thoughts:
1. We are NOT TFM. Most of us were Greek, but now we are all desk jockeys.
2. We can keep ourselves entertained on the site while the staff decides not to post anything before 10:00AM everyday (it doesn’t go unnoticed)
3. Our discussions will generate ideas for future columns and articles that you can build off of thus increasing your shares and site traffic. Because as much as I like to think you know what we go through on a daily basis you are still Grandex. There is not a 50 year old named Gary a mile of your office.
I am on this site because I like feeling a bond with the other people on here. No, I don’t know Boone or the other regular commenters personally but I like to see what they say. I like knowing there are other people fighting the same fight.

I checked this thing at 8:00AM then remembered… it’s 8:00AM. Now it is noon and we have 2 dudes in the pool. I’m not saying i’m going to drop a “back in my day” but this is some weak shit.
Part of me wants to agree with PGShibby. Then I think about the “racist getting fired” post and quickly realize it’s going to take a lot more then a dead guy at a desk article to get me back on board.

I know that feel.

I look forward to your feedback.
I haven’t felt comfortable in a pair of pants I own in the last calender year. Slippery slope once I buy that first bigger pair.
But my hair line has not receded 1/10th of an inch…
Just got the invite for this. The, “peaked in high school Rob Lowes” are in full force on our Facebook invite page.

D-Man with the power move countering Catie’s article. Ball is in your court McGannon.
I always listen to your playlist for the sole purpose of judging you with every selection you make. Broad pallet today big mac.
I took a “relaxing” spring break to Indian Shores my super senior year. Worst mistake I’ve ever made. I thought I was too old at 23.
Fireflygirl you are a magnet to the down votes. Like a moth to a flame. or fly to a.. whatever, you suck.

PGShibby really inspired you… 3 articles in one day. Except this one isn’t about dead people.
I can’t believe you wrote this much about a prank that 3rd graders could execute. I hate you.
