Thanks Buddy. I asked for a signed 8x10 Nexialys glossy, and a clown riding a pony. So far neither has showed up. You big jerk.

Sometimes it's the way the "no" is presented, as in this case, that puts people off bro. You guys tend to talk to us as though we aren't forum admins as well. Nobody's making "a big fuss" in this thread. Chad posted a simple suggestion, and you're talking down to him.
We all run forums as well. A good percentage of us run forums much bigger than vb.org. We're well aware of the thought processes and discussions that go into staff decisions about site feedback. Just keep that in mind.
Your forum may be as large or larger but you probably aren't in the same situation as the guys here are.
While I'll agree that sometimes "no" isn't said as nice as it could be by the staff I'm sure the staff will agree when I say: The users can rarely accept "no" as an answer.
Running this place is a pain in the ass all it's own. Ask anyone who was staff here in the past and they'll tell you it's a lot different than running your own forum. For example an "Admin" at vB.org isn't "The man in charge" or "The end of the chain of command". The Admin has someone to answer to, and that guy has someone he has to answer to, and there is a boss above the last guy also. As far as I know it may be a longer chain of command now then there was in my day.
Anyway....if you want to suggest something here your best bet is just posting about it as nicely as possible. Make sure you post all the good reasons for why your idea should be accepted and be willing to wait a little while (months? years?) before you see it come to life.
If you feel the .org staff is rude to you then there is always someone above their heads that you can go to if you choose to do so. Honestly I've never seen a staff member do anything that I considered "rude", I think it comes off that way for some people just because text lacks emotion and the staff here is usually just going to tell you how it is.
