I mean I understand everyone and their pet is on facebook but I don’t like the integration of everything. Some people found OM as a safe place where they didn’t have to worry about people in their close circle finding out about them until they were ready to come out and integrating facebook and other networking websites take away from that. I really like what is trying to be done here but it all seems an odd fit. It has the logo but the feel of OM is not here. We never had to join “groups” , we had many open forums. The e-zine was in a decent publication rotation and the chat added a even better way to talk to people.
We need basic user login system with a forums, and ezine, and chat. The bare bones basics. Oh and TOP POSTER and SHOUT OUTS! haha…Everything that made OM great.
The features were not what made OM, it was the USERS. You wanted to be apart of OM because of the overall feeling of the place.
This is a feature rich CMS but its not OM.
I am not meaning to come off as ungrateful, condescending or judgmental, and I hope this is not taken in that manner. As I have said every since OM went down, I would be more than happy to help and to gather others with more web experience,and knowledge to do the same.
