  Hey syaf, nice to see you swing by. I was wondering when you would show up. Take a look around, start a new thread... Not too many people here yet, we are just giving this thing a small head start before we open it up.

  Well if Andy Beard doesn't give me the rights to the WWABD? T-Shirts I may consider actually making some BlogCatalog shirts if I could get enough of you saying you are interested. I think its pretty cheap if a bunch of people buy them all at once. Tony and I have talked about getting some made before.

haha, that's pretty clever, you wanna sell t-shirts, start a social networking site for bloggers! (i'm not sure if you're joking or not, but if you are joking, i'm sure selling blogcatalog t-shirts could pull some nice profits and ya know, viral marketing)

Interesting - but why cant you reply to a poster below 2nd level threshold?

[reply]

  its mostly for performance issues, but also you can only indent a reply so many times before it becomes unreadeable.

  Dont indent after the 2nd level, though still enable replies. Why truncate a conversation.

Hello from the UK - Manchester England to be exact.

My blog 'be the change - tread the path' started as a project for me to 'tap in' to my creative side and get some of my thoughts and ideas out of my head to make room for more - and, well - ts taken off from there.

I'm enjoying it so much that I'm now looking into expanding via my new project www.soulterminal.com - a community for 'connections'.

Good to meet you all - this forum has certainly added a new 'human' depth. Thanks for BlogCatalog guys!
