Ways to improve the forum...
 

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

How would you improve the forum?

We need more active members!

Football sub-forum

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

Scrap post count!

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?

Yeah your right Jack!

urgh this.

but you'd be so lonely?

:thumbs:

Have a Over 18 Sub Section.

Banning Jessica, Patrick etc.

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

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.

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

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

they shouldnt close threads :bored:

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..

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 :(

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

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

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).

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

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

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.

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

Looking forward to these proposed changes Mark!

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?
