I'm just wondering if there are ever going to be any updates to the Column, in the way of features (resources etc). It seems to be dying, and maybe a few more things for founders (and indeed, members) to play around with would benefit. Progress seems to be slow and I'm not even sure what's in the works at the mo' - a heads-up would be great. I appreciate that there's a lot to do, naturally, and also that there's a feedback thread up, but I figure this is the best way to find out what's going on. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I want it back to the way it was. The new one is not nearly as good.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Im waiting for a mod to post saying the updates are

COMING SOON

They have been coming soon for a year now

Even a side-bar Poll option would be something.

I think they should take a day to do avies and themes. Just adding those would make a major difference and give us something to talk about for once.

Agreed. I'd like to see some of our themes accepted. In a thread not too long ago, I saw several that would definitely be worth adding. Along with that, another avatar contest would be fun, seeing as the last one was so popular.

In fact, I'd be happy if they just added in the Fabled Search Systym (Coming to a Website near you Soon™) sometime within the next year.

Yea, the veteran chapters are starting to fall off, with only the few active people keeping it alive. Until the column gets updated with new stuff I think it's just going to keep getting worse.

It WOULD be nice to see the 7th Column given a boost.

Yeah. I kinda agree with Kilroy. Even something reasonably trivial like new themes would be awsome enough. On the other hand, i would love an up-grade to be of great quality. If we could have new themes, avatars, the council and all the other stuff i wouldn't personaly mind waiting a little bit more.

If it means waiting for a bit more, i would love to have the 7th Column up-graded to the level it deserves, because in everyway, the 7th Column,to me, is the best thing that could have happened to this site.

Well, the only real stir that is happening right now is Kuniklo's appearences, however rare. He does seem to bring to possiblity of an update to bear.

I asked achronos a similar question a few weeks ago...I believe he said that they weren't planning on any huge updates anytime soon but we should see some bug fixes and maybe a few new toys sometime next year.

I really miss the sidebar tool. Most groups just look the same to me now. Not a whole lot of personality.....

Yeah the 7th column isn't "everywhere" anymore. I wish they could hire more people for web design. Poor Achronos has to much stuff on his plate.

Any kind of update would be nice. I'd like to see a few more themes and avatars get accepted at the very least. It's not like there needs to be a big overhaul of new stuff, but just a little something would be a nice change.

Yeah, I hope there is an indicator to tell if someone is online.

Or like an icon that reports bad posts.

Eh, not a good idea. I don't want people with personal vendettas against me reporting every post I make merely because they have disagreed with me in the past, ect. It wouldn't be a full proof system by any means, and the current, old fashioned PMs and Emails seem to be doing just fine.

Even though it was for "good," I miss the color tags...

And whatever happened to the seach feature? There was supposedly one that was being worked on but that was at least like 2 months ago since we heard that. Bungie must be busy busy
