question about "The Rug"

rev-jaholbrook · August 27, 2012, 11:24:59 PM

So I stumbled upon a post the Dudely Lama posted about a site called The Rug. I have to ask, is this a permanent site now? I created a profile but didn't wanna put in a lot of work to set it up if everything will get deleted....

Deleted? This is our concern, dude. What mean?

It was an old post. I just wanted to make sure it was no longer just a test site and now a full on up and running deal. I literally just learned of its existence and would like to have a good networking site. I just didn't want to post stuff if its a test run still.

Never heard of it. Please post the URL so we can all share in the fun...

Hey Forum Dude: any comments?

Hm. Took a quick tour... looks pretty lame dude. Not very organic...

Eh.... I'm just looking for something on the off chance facebook blows up into a full on MySpace crap. I would be happy if it were more like this forum with some extra options. I think if more used it and more people put in input it could improve. If someone wanted it to change.

It's an old-school bulletin board basically. What we need is a "DudeBook". Though, this forum environment isn't half-bad.

Ah... Makes sense. Dude-book would be cool or if they could tweak the rug to a format as such it would be cool. Just my opinion.

I have an account there, but I like this board better...simpler to move about here...and besides....I'm a janitor here so I needs to keep a close eye on this place.
I guess The Rug was a good idea that just did not catch on.

I just learned about it. I think my biggest gripe is I'm used to the old facebook setup. Kind of a creature of habit. And I totally dig this forum.

OK, cool, was just checking to see if your were saying a post of yours had been deleted. No worries, dude.

Yeah development stalled for a while. I have a guy programming a far out system as we speak. Should be in beta in a week or so. Not sure if it should be therug.org or dudeism.net

I'm not sure that the community of forum users is big enough to split, so we should be sure that there isn't duplicate function between the rug and forum.

awesome!!!!! I was pretty much just curious. I dig the concept. And Leopoldrose, I completely agree to that. I just didn't want to actively build a profile there if the test stage wasn't over yet. Looking forward to seeing what develops dudes.
