Re: LIST of Canadian ISPs

I think we should charge ISP's 10$/month to put their name on the list.

No money? No candy!

That would cause us much more work contacting them - Naaaah.

I'm just going to fix those last few for now (famous words ), and then wait for State to weigh in on my above proposal.

I agree with you Dave. Just make a quick and dirty little drop down list for the few forums that have shown some increased activity over the last little while, AND make it easy to see and access from the Canadian forum grouping

A drop-down list was my original thought, but now I like the list structured as we have it, »Forums (Ad-Hoc) for more Canadian ISPs , as described in the post where I made the proposal to State.

It would have the adhoc forum and external website links next to each ISP name.

One page tall, with little or no scrolling.

One click from the CBB front page to the Short-List

One more and you are in either of those two places for any of those ISPs.

There is already a FAQ section. Could always add a FAQ called Canadian ISP's and end it there.

As it is, a lot in the FAQ section is quite outdated and good for nothing.

Dave, your next job is to bring the FAQ up to date for State. Once this is done I will congratulate you, which is worth all the money in the world. You will become famous due to me. You will be known as the Canadian Broadband faqr. Great karma will follow.

Do.

ROFL to some of that !

I'm worried though, that putting it one more level inside some other existing link will be nearly as bad as the status quo, AND will cause one EXTRA click to get to each forum/website.

Also, if we put new stuff in with outdated stuff, the silent majority of folks who say in their subliminal mind's eye "Oh, I already looked in THERE" will never bother, and will miss our list.

Simple page and in-their-face link would work best, IMNSHO.

Nice.

Now if someone wanted to start a topic to update the FAQ, is that ok with you? Will you be our faqr?

For example, Section 10.1 is now useless for this form since Aliant is now Bell and section 10.1 should in fact be in the Bell FAQ (if it isn't in that FAQ someplace already).

So factually stating, the fact of the matter is that FAQ should in fact be moved to Bell's FAQ.

Go for it. Anyone who wants to contribute to it is more than welcome, it belongs to the forum. Would this be enough to finally draw you out of complete anonymity and into partial anonymity by finally creating an account here?

And hey, I've been called much worse.

What amuses me is that the Hollywood censors allowed that string of movies about the Focker family to use THAT similar sounding name.

Surely THEY knew what was up.

Yeah there will likely be at least one fix to the list since there are typo's and errors on it.

MNSi is incorrectly labeled as MSNi

Ebox's name has a code goof.

Might be a bit more to fix.

I would let it go till next week see if anyone spots something else that is off then give it a last tweak, like adding Start.ca etc.

Dave? Dave! You are elected the keeper of the errors (head faqr checker). Please make a list of things to tweak then submit it all in one shot next week. Good karma will follow if you do this.

I noticed only the eBox glitch, but was reserving comment until next week like you suggested, as we do not want to make State regret that he got involved.

MNSi ? - Good that you were watching too. - All we need is one more way to Microsloth.

One other thought from me is that the 2nd listing for Distributel VoIP should be deleted, now that State found the right code for their Internet one, otherwise we will have folks asking for VOIP.MS and other Canadian VoIPPs to be added, which instead deserves a whole 'nother list, IMNSHO.

And here is what else I had to say a few moments ago in the other forum.

Well that's one reason i won't register. This way State can't tell me to send him beer to fix it.

As head faqr, this duty now falls upon you. Little did you know....

Re: Forums (Ad-Hoc) for more Canadian ISPs

 
Some say that a post is the next best thing to a STICKY.

For those who missed this thread LAST WEEK and started others here, BUMP !
