What does exasco needs? Something that makes it different than the other support sites. That is what made the orginal exasco what it was. The only thing that is different than Teenmoods or goLivewire is the people who come here. Thus, the only people who come here are the people who have friends here. Other wise you might as well go to golivewire because they are different than other support sites.

I'm not sure who really followed the orginal exasco, but it had it's own content outside the forum. That made it special.

vBulletin is nice but it's a package. Exasco wasn't a package you could buy, it was truly a unqiue place. Perhaps the magic that was there, was lost when the creator stopped it.

Let me give you an example. There was a poetry section to the site outside the form, there was content outside the form, ect. There was also lyrics that fit the subject matter.

I think this was said above, but this site hasn't defined it's stance.

Here is what I would do if I ran this site.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Create a CMS, that would include articles, poetry, and lyrics that fit the subject matter. Content is very important! I cannot stress that enough.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Create a year book like script, not a forum that you post photos. So people could have like a record of what they looked like each year. I think that would be cool.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Have a script that allows people to document their days as a way to help them grow. Writing is very good, escpecially if they are going through a tough time. Maybe have both a public journal, but also a private journal b/c if you know people are going to read what you write, you won't be completely honest.
(d) Sort of picking up off C, I would think of ways you can help people with their problems. If you want to tackle addiction, not only have articles on addiction and how to over come it, but a way to document how well you are doing in your battle with whatever you are addicted to.

Those are just a few ideas.

I shouldn't tell you this, and Isaac would really be upset if he saw this, but he told me he is laying out a blue print for what I'll call Exasko 2.0. That's where my suggestions are coming from

yea i know isaac is building an exasko...
he told me this like 8 months ago.

And since we are all speaking our minds here..
Exasko..... used vbulletin... if you didnt notice....

and really, i would be nothing but happy if isaac re-opened his version of exasko again.
Im just here to fill the void of devastation that was left from everyone he abandoned..

We have blogs, that you can set to private...
we have a few other things aswell, i meann these days i really dont have the time to work on Exasco because im busy practically 24 hours of the day and the time i do get to spend on here is replying to people like you.

Not to sound harsh, but you kinda brought this on yourself from day one...
If you have your own idea of how to run this site, then where was it in september 2005?
