Thank you.

While it's nice of all you to show appreciation for what I do, I don't feel like its justified as I've never been happy with what the site actually provides.

This image here - http://www.thechookpen.com.au/images...oting_beta.jpg is currently the very brief alpha version of the player rating system.

You slide between rounds using the arrows at the top, rate player performances using the number under their name and it will update with their total score for the round upon refresh of the page.

It gives you enough insight into where I want this particular system to go. Ideally, this will also work on mobile / tablet.. but one thing at a time for now.

IMO the community is the big thing. Sure it's just a forum, but there really aren't many solid Roosters communities online. I've had my differences with this place in the past (and if I were to run my own community I'd probably do it a little differently) but that's beyond the point. A good clump of Roosters fans frequent this place and IMO luring in the fans/maintaining interest in the forum is one of the hardest things... so congrats for doing that.

As said previously... stability and usability are the site's only real issues. I don't know whether vBulletin 4.2.1 is the best piece of forum software out there. Also I'm not really sure where the performance issues are coming from given thechookpen has dedicated hosting and only 2 other (small/personal sites which I won't name for privacy reasons) are being hosted on the same server.

I'd really love it if this was a collaborative effort. Not saying that Chris does a rubbish job or that I'd be the best fit for helping out (I've offered in the past so won't go there again). However, I feel it would be great if the jobs were spread amongst a few technically minded forum members who could focus on making it a really tight product. Not putting down the player rating idea, but IMO before expanding this site I'd like to see a few technically minded people bang their heads together and do REALLY tight/stable release of this forum. If somebody could nail that then it would free up time for Chris to focus on future ideas such as the player rating system...
