Would any of you guys be interested in seeing a link directory here at PentaxForums.com?

You can demo the software that I have in mind here: Links Directory

Any member would be able to add links, and I'm thinking of having categories for personal blogs/pbases/galleries, photo resources, Pentax resources, and Pentax stores (no forums!). What do you think?

As this software isn't free, though, we'd have to wait for a few more donations to get it...

That would be a nice idea, but wouldn't a static link directory be satisfactory?

[Adam]

That wouldn't allow users to post their sites, but maybe you're right. We could also just use a standard submission form to manually update a static directory...

I think a static link site because, as you put this together, you should have some moderation of what goes into the links. That would cut down on a lot of links that go to commercial sites, unless of course, that is what you want. My two pennies.

[Adam]

Moderator approval would be required for all links before they are publically displayed

With this in mind, do you think it would work out?

[Arpe]

Can't see how it would hurt, and has potential to be of great help to all.

well, I'd rather be in favour of a "My threads" director.

Take care

Hi Paul,

You can find a list of all your threads on your profile page (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/paul-cruchten.html), or keep track of favorites in your User CP or via e-mail with the thread subscription feature

OK if you have final approval then a links page could be handy.

I think it would be a great idea..... as long as it doesn't get used as a spam trap, when the site grows big.
Maybe a rating system from people who have checked out the link, that way spam likely would not creep its ugly head.

Looking forward to it if it is implimented

Just a few more donations and I'll be installing it

As I mentioned earlier, I (or one of the moderators) will have to approve each link submission manually. As for features, the directory'll have the standard lineup of comments, ratings, and favorites.
