Since the release of “Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?”, many of you have asked “what’s happening with Galt’s Gulch? Is Galt’s Gulch going away?”

With over 18,000 registered members, Galt’s Gulch Online is now the world’s largest and most active online Objectivist community. And, we're not going anywhere.

We are however going to be undergoing some renovations here in the Gulch and we want your feedback.

1.) What do you like most about Galt’s Gulch?
2.) What do you like least about Galt’s Gulch?
3.) What new features would you like to see? 

It's not the end... it's the beginning.

    I would like to see a channel to meet up with local objectivists. I am 65, retired, so it is not easy meeting my kind of people.

    Perhaps reduce the amount of indention so that the text section stays wider longer.

    I really like kh's chat room suggestion. I also like the ease with which a post can be added and/or edited.

    One thing I could do without are the occasional moocher "trolls" who intrude into ongoing threads with nauseatingly long and irrelevant posts. Thankfully, these have been few and far between of late. The religious proselytizers seem to have gone away as well.

    I, too, like that the Gulch exists. The discussions can be informative, thought provoking and entertaining.

    The format of the site is awkward. Many other forum formats would be an improvement. Invision offers some you could check out.

    It would be great to have increased text formatting options and the ability to easily capture a quote of a previous reply.

    1.) What do you like most about Galt’s Gulch? The blog platform or format, whatever you use is the best I have seen or used.
    2.) What do you like least about Galt’s Gulch? Some really good discussions fall way down to where you cannot see them. Perhaps a "featured discussion" or "featured topics" section would be good?
    3.) What new features would you like to see?
    Again, the "Featured Topics" or just like the Movie Meetups, using the same feature you could have Gulchers set up their own regular meetups in their area.

    I was thinking we could hide the top point earners box to make room for more comments. It could be there but you would have to open it to see it.

    I like the daily e-mail for what is hot in the Gulch. Maybe we could have another that we sign up for that alerts us when a thread receives a certain number of comments in a short period of time.

    Would the ranking number be a different number than Gulch points? Where would you see the ranking? Next to their member name or... ?

    Seriously though, maybe a user ranking.
    Kind of like voting up or down on a post.

    In this way, newbies can know at a glance if they are dealing with someone legit or not.
