Forum Updates (Please Read!)

I posted this in the LG Dare Forum for a reason: it is BY FAR the forum being used the MOST. That's fine, great and dandy...

MobileRoar was built with the idea that the COMMUNITY is bigger than any one phone. When the LG Dare is long gone, MobileRoar will still be here, with forums for all the new and upcoming phones that you will potentially call yours.

That being said, I'm hoping people will take the time to explore the other features I've implemented OUTSIDE of the LG Dare Forum:'

My Favorites
There are just SO many forums on MobileRoar that its hard to keep track of everything that goes on... and you shouldn't have to.

By adding specific forums to your "My Favorites" area you have one click access to them from almost anywhere in the forum. It will really make your experience at MRoar much more smooth and enjoyable.

Favorite Forum Recent Posts
On the Mobile Roar Forum Home (Mobile Roar Forum - Powered by vBulletin) there is now an area at the top that will show the 10 most recent posts in the forums you've listed as your favorite. This is kind of a quick look at whats going on that might interest you most.

In All Forums...
This area shows the Most Recent NEW threads in ALL forums... so whenever a BRAND new discussion is started, it displays here. Hopefully this is a good indicator of whats going on in the entire forum.

Roar Lounge
Like I said, MobileRoar is bigger than any 1 phone. Take the time to mingle with others... who might enjoy/use different phones/carriers in the Lounge. When you're ready to change phones/carriers, you'll already have a group of friends ready to help you in your new adventure

Site News
I've started a new section called Site News that has forums for Announcements/Updates and also Suggestions/Feedback. I'm REALLY interested in hearing everyone's thoughts.

Like something about the site? Tell us. Hate something? Tell us. Have an idea? Tell us. Whatever is on your mind... TELL US so we can try to make MobileRoar the best it can be.

Upcoming Features...
I'm hoping to add a couple features in the coming week or so that I hope you'll enjoy. First of all, I want to add a "New Posts in Favorites" so that when you click, you can see all the NEW posts in only the forums you've identified as your favorites.

We also have a "phone guide" coming out that should give everyone the lowdown on overview, specs, reviews, pictures, videos for existing, new and upcoming phones of interest. Maybe I should throw in a FAQ too to keep tabs on important forum posts?

Lets Hear It...
Thanks in advance for your feedback... both Good and/or Bad... don't be shy!

UPDATE: If I added an "Arcade" that had top scores and stuff, tournaments, lots of games... would people be interested in that? I think it'd make MRoar more of a fun 'hangout'. Whatchya think?!?!?

Arcade added:
Mobile Roar Forum - Powered by vBulletin

You can also add it to your favorites and it can be found under Roar Extras below the Roar Lounge. You must be registered to play. There are a TON of settings that I could play with but lets just see how it goes... maybe I'll set an Arcade Moderator based on who crushes in the arcade early on!

I can add/remove games when I find them but let me know if anyone has any particular requests.

Let me know what you all think!

Gentlemen; Ladies;
I purchased my Dare back in May 09. I was excited to have the phone and loved the tips and tricks off the LG-Dare Forum. When I decided to post on the LG Dare Forum for the very first time it was a picture of Kobe Bryant. (heavy into Lakers and boy they look good as wallpaper) Then, as my desire to share more wonderful and pertinent things about the Dare grew, I posted a FREE website link that contained Flash Clocks. Funny, back in May I cared about Flash Clocks and today I could give a flying hoot. It's that part of the phone which is under the Display Settings and Wallpaper. The seven flash clocks which can be changed using Bitpim. So, I posted this free flash clock link on the LG Dare Forum, under a flash clock sub category mind you, and the dumbasses banned me ! Forever. God ! Not Lil Ol Me ! LOL. Here I was participating and sharing a really neat website that was absolutely FREE, and is a simple Google search, and I got banned. Reminds me of the old days and rules of AOL. I logged onto the LG Dare forum for the last time today because I still had the link in a folder and there is still a reminder to me, Pnutvndr, that I am a Spammer and that I am banned forever. Yeah, that's all I do is spam while I'm inbetween apprasiing houses and radio broadcasting in So. Cal. I was pissed off about it back then, today it's laughable. What a pleasure to know that they DO NOT have my participation. I could have offered a lot in great pics and such, but I'm a SPAMMER. In retrospect there were just a few subjects that interested me on that forum anyway. (I mean how many subjects can you have on a non-data phone anyway? ) The last time I logged onto MOBILE ROAR was back in June and saw one of the assholes from the LG Dare forum who wrote that he was the new admin for the website. I just wanted that guy to know that if it wasn't for the banning on his forum I would've never searched out Mobile Roar. So, for that I thank him. Idiots.
Thanks for letting me vent and thanks for your time. I don't know if the phone interests me enough to want to check out a forum about it anymore but I will sure keep this site saved when I upgrade the phone.
Regards,
Rick
Chatsworth, Ca.
