Ways to improve the forum...

[Jack_]

I guess this thread is pretty pointless considering there's a forum itself for this but nevermind.

How would you improve the forum?

[Beastie]

We need more active members!

[King Gizzard]

Football sub-forum

[Stephanie]

ban the trolls
bring post count back in c&g
uncensor swearing

[Beastie]

Scrap post count!

[Jack_]

I'd say the deletion of posts/threads. It can get really confusing sometimes and it's also pretty annoying. I understand deleting spam, but arguments?

What was wrong with just closing threads?

Have a Over 18 Sub Section.

[Billy]

Banning Jessica, Patrick etc.

[Beastie]

Have a Over 18 Sub Section.

This and we can have more sex and porn talk! :)

[Jessica.]

Get rid of MusicFail.
Add more games or get rid of the arcade.
Remove inactive accounts.
Increase avatar size limitations.
Add more skins.
Add a chatroom.

I love how people call others immature but all they can think of is banning people they don't like.

[Captain.Remy]

Banning all these sissy drama queens who make the forum so unbearable.

[Patrick]

Oh and get rid of that horrible blue TiBB Banner at the top, it reminds me of Facebook.. I cant wait until the BB11 eye is revealed next week, so Mark can update the Skin :D

[Stacey.]

they shouldnt close threads :bored:

[Novo]

Musicbox GONE
VBookie added
I like nate's idea - football sub forum and there should be more a Xbox/PS3 online section it will probably get people to actually start setting up tournaments since we never get enough interest when dezzy mentions it
is there any multiplayer games you can add to the arcade..

[Twilight]

Add more skins, i want black, not this ugly ****.

there is a thread somewhere about the subforum

made it couple of days ago

mark said he would make one if liverpool got to the final but they got knocked out :(

[Novo]

Gambling sub forum? and also i think it was Joe (InOne) who pointed this out a bit ago we should have a poker tournament and play for real money

[Enid]

Increase the age restriction to 16
Increase avatar size (KB)
Mods need to be less lenient. Really crack down on the trolls and morons
Remove any censorship

[Mark]

We need more active members!

Those will start as soon as the ads start and the eye is released. If they don't, I'll put a restriction where guests can only view 10 threads a day before having to sign up or something (this might also help with server load).

Football sub-forum

If Liverpool beat Chelsea this weekend I'll add one :joker:


bring post count back in c&g


Not sure about C+G post count, will talk to James about it more on Monday.

Have a Over 18 Sub Section.

Something I've been thinking about a bit. Over 18 means there's effort in verifying peoples ages which is time consuming. Also, there are several under 18's who are far more mature on the board than over 18's, so it's counter productive in that sense. I'd rather just do something like a 'premium' area, where for a really small amount (like £1 a month or something), those members can get a 'no rules' private forum, animated avatars, chat room, no ads and lots of other things that would be exclusive. This won't happen for certain, it's just an idea at the moment. If I did add it, it would be to help pay the server bill which is going to hit me in a few months (it's a lot.) Also, it wouldn't punish people who don't want to/can't afford to pay, nothing would be removed for regular members.

Musicbox doesn't do any harm to the forum. It's not server intensive and doesn't affect forum performance.
What's vbookie?
Not sure there's enough demand for a computer games section right now :)

Yeah, I'll talk to James on Monday about what we're going to do with trolls/trouble makers, and the moderator situation for BB11.

[Lewis.]

I like the idea of a premium members place. Sounds good!

Looking forward to these proposed changes Mark!

[Jayson]

Mark, if the premium section goes ahead (good idea btw) would we pay for it via paypal?

Also, if you decide that you need some more mods for BB11, would it be an application thingy or would you select a few members and ask them privately?

[Enid]

Please don't. All it does is encourage spam.

Sounds good.

[Harry!]

Its not really fair for people to pay for a section that do not even own a credit card.

Just operate a private part of the forum that is off site from the main one and if you do not like dont click on the contents.

[Lewis.]

I think Harry, what you need to remember is that Mark wouldn't just do the premium bit to keep members happy.. I don't expect the server costs are that cheap. I think it's a great idea! I'd be extremely happy to pay a pound a month. I'd happily pay 5 pound a month in fact.

This sounds good.
I mean No Rules?

I would love it tbh.

OMG It would be amazing.
I have a vision of it being like Gold for some reason? :joker:

I would be willing to Pay, only if its not through Credit Card I mean it isnt fair on the people who would pay but dont have Credit Cards, I hate on websites when your willing to buy somthing and they ask for a Credit Card, I mean not everyone has them.


Sounds like a good idea though :)

[Jayson]

I'm guessing you'd pay by post if you didn't have a credit card

[Harry!]

You could have a donation thing like wikipedia does and if you donate money it goes directly to Mark to help the forum. I really dont like the idea of the pay for premium option, It would be very DS like.

You can use debit cards as-well on pay-pal. And if you didn't have one it only takes 10 minutes to set up a bank account.

[Jack_]

Yeah, I don't mind paying so long as I don't have to pay via credit/debit card.

I don't particularly want to have to talk to my parents about this forum :joker:

[Jessica.]

Those will start as soon as the ads start and the eye is released. If they don't, I'll put a restriction where guests can only view 10 threads a day before having to sign up or something (this might also help with server load).

Thanks mark :)

If you aren't gonna give back C&G post count can we have stars under our names at least? Please

[Patrick]

Um, Why? :conf: :joker:

[Stacey.]

what do stars mean?

[King Gizzard]

I think we should go back to the post count thing there was when I first signed up

It was like 5000+ 10000+ 15000+ instead of the exact number wasnt it?

[Jayson]

We used to have stars under our names... I don't see the point of them really :p

[Jayson]

I think we should go back to the post count thing there was when I first signed up

Yeah, I think that'd be better too.

Tbh I like the old one better but yes I would rather have Nathan's idea than No bloody post count at all.

[King Gizzard]

If Liverpool beat Chelsea this weekend I'll add one :joker:





shouldn't that be if chelsea beat liverpool :shocked:

[Captain.Remy]

The Premium thing is even worse than Karma. Jesus...

[Patrick]

OMG.

Yes!

BRING BACK KARMA!

[King Gizzard]

No. never bring karma back. ever..

[Enid]

Premium idea is good. The benefits shouldn't be too great obviously, that would be unfair on the other forum members, but I would pay for no censorship and larger avatars.

[Smithy]

Does that mean we need new mods for BB11?
