^The Louisiana forum isn't anywhere near the amount of activity that the Arkansas forum sees, but I think we are doing rather well in here when compared to some older forums.

Yeah there are some other states that the Louisiana forum has passed up.

Something happened that made Louisiana and New Orleans development much more interesting.  I think a lot of us are watching this forum more closely than we might've, though I always liked NO.

^Yea after Katrina there has been much more action over here. There are just many more interesting things to talk about that pre-Katrina, IMO.

Well guys I am now the moderator for the Louisiana forum, so if you have any questions, problems, or suggestions,(like pinning threads) let me know.

Thanks Tom!
My main goal for the forum is to bring in members from other areas of the state, so that it could really be a Louisiana forum, rather than having most of the news centered around New Orleans or Baton Rouge.

Congrats Nate.  I didn't even know there was talk about it.     I was surprised to see you mention something about it before I had read this topic.

Yea neither did I. I thought it would be a little while longer before the Louisiana forum needed a mod, but I'm very happy to be mod in here.

Don't look at it as a matter of 'necessity.' Moderators serve two functions. One is to moderate, the other is to encourage discussions in his or her section(s). UP is fairly selective on choosing staff members, and we have a lot of criteria that we look for in a moderator. We are excited to NCB on the staff, and we are certain that the Louisiana section has a bright future

Congrats NCB!!!  Keep up the great work!

Seems like every time I come over here there's a surprise for me.

Haha, I was suprised to see the New Orleans subforum up this morning. I knew that Spartan and monsoon were working on it, but I thought it would be a little while longer before it would be up.

Ok, I asked in the New Orleans forum which topics people wanted to see and which topics would be interesting, so I'm going to do the same here. What would you guys(anyone who likes to check out the forum) like to see, how would you like the forum to be organized, etc. Any suggestions would be great as I'm trying to get the Louisiana forum well organized and discussion friendly.

[NCB]

I've noticed that the Louisiana forum seems to have quite a few non-members viewing the forum during the late night hours, and I just wanted to encourage anyone viewing the forum who may be from Louisiana(or anywhere for that matter) to join us here at UrbanPlanet.   Membership is free, and more discussion in the Louisiana forum is always great.

[Mith242]

Hey Nate congrats on the 3000 mark.  

[NCB]

^Thanks, Rod!

Congrats to the Louisiana forum on reaching 2500 posts!
We were nearing 2500 a while back, but the post count dropped to around 2000 after the Mississippi threads were moved.
