The Batavian needs updating:

As a web site & server operator I would like to say the main page here is great for  announcing local news and sports and stuff like that but a forum base would be great for the rest of it like breaking up topics into different sections for discussion about the muck dogs for one maybe another section for different parts of Batavia General Discussion for us locals instead of clogging up the main page with replies to posts because there is so many members posting it is getting hard to find things someone might email me about .

Don't get me wrong this site is great but it could use a bigger interface like a message board forum.

Tom, this site operates like a blog.

That said, we have created a separate sports section (plus job ads and classifieds go onto their own page).

Plus, if you want to follow a specific topic, you can just bookmark that tag under "tags."
