I think so!

you can get free forums that allow for different skins etc and they let you do pretty much everything TIBB does,so I don't know how advertising makes money as it,s usually the ones that use advertising that are free,you can upgrade to get rid of the ads.

[Shaun]

they're free because the advertising revenue goes to the owners of proboards, or VG boards, or whatever... this is its own domain.

if i was boss of tibb i would make it a rule that your avitar must be a naked picture of yrself but first screened by me if its worthy enough lol
i would also arrange weekly orgies for us members to spice things up here.
then watch the forum get busy - ok busy full of pervs freaks and weirdos but least it would be busy lol

outlaw gifs

charge money for premium accounts with benefits

get Mollie/Mikes forum skin put in

limit the amount of crappy music threads allowed (only one Rihanna thread per fortnight)

get rid of useless mods (Marc)

make Chat and Games posts count

[Me. I Am Salman]

I agree with Roy about the premium thing, their should be a subscription where you get a coloured name, can have a gif avatar, access to a private unmoderated forum, higher inbox capacity etc. That'd help fund the site too. Sooo many forums do that

[smeagol]

get rid of the boring people send them to mordor

[Marc]

Add a mentions feature.. (e.g @Black Dagger) when there is a thread/post that somebody on here might appreciate/find offensive

And I'd add new forum skins. I understand these are both difficult but they'd be lovely additions

get better severs so when there more then 5 members on here the forum sill runs fast

I'll join you in the screening!

and the orgies

and whatever lascivious Hobbits do in secret!

[Locke.]

Get rid of Marc as a mod and close the chat threads, they have overstayed their welcome and the other threads would be much busier without them

[michael21]

i would also scarp post count who give a flying peeeep how many time members have posted

[Glenn.]

This thread has been quite funny to read

If I was the boss I'd implement a decent ignore system. The one we have is dire. If someone quotes a member on your ignore list you see what they are saying anyway, making the system completely useless.

I'd get rid of the swear filter. Again, completely useless.

I'm down with the 3 strikes and you're out thing. Far too many idiots get banned then come back just the same and in cases, even worse than before they were banned.

New skins.

[Me. I Am Salman]

The 3 strikes your out idea is the dumbest idea ever, this forum would end up with no members

[Drew.]

We used to have a 3 strikes rule. Still had loads of members(loads more than now actually), just people knew not to take the piss with breaking rules so they didnt, unless they were utter trolls

Infraction system is way dodgy, because you can give someone 1 point for something small and it ends up giving them a fortnight ban

[Josy]

I would love the 3 strike rule to come back.

[King Gizzard]

I'd banish the invisible mode feature

[King Gizzard]

well, I can see people appearing invisible anyway, but still

[Josy]

You take that back

[Ammi]

..what is the '3 strikes rule'..?..I mean, I can see what it is but is it 3 strikes and a permanent ban/week ban/month ban etc..?...

..I don't personally agree with a private section, there is such a mixed/varied age range on TiBB that all that would do is exclude members and how can a forum of this size be a 'community' if people were excluded from sections..it's not just an age thing either, because lots of forums have a certain post count before a member can be part of a private section so it would also exclude newer members and make them feel less a part of the forum and more aware of being a 'newbie'....the one main thing that I loved when I first started to post off-season was a 'community feel' to TiBB, which to some extent I don't think it is so much anymore, so changing anything that would make it more so/or less so would be a bad thing, I think...the 'like/dislike', I'm also on a forum that has that but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose..but maybe is left open to being abused if members didn't get on...

..Zee mentioned about making threads...obviously some days there are lots and other days, not so many..that's just the way of it but it's kind of a two way thing that people have to be interested in posting in those threads ..I'm as guilty as anyone to sometimes struggle with enthusiasm to post in threads so then I guess after a time people struggle with enthusiasm to make them as well....

..I think having personalised avatars/sigs should be open to everyone/not just a privilege because that would be another thing that would exclude newer members who didn't have a high enough post count and generally I think exclusions are a bad thing..but maybe have a compulsory 'switch off' mode for on season/live show threads for different things..so that the forum didn't slow down so much...

..I don't see any problems with the invisible mode/most forums have that option and mods and members use it if they wish to...


..the chat threads, yeah I do see them particularly quiet atm and maybe that's just a very temporary thing or maybe we don't need two of them anymore ...maybe people are choosing to chat more off-site/on other sites, so they won't be as busy...


...the 'sort out you differences' type room/section...personally and in my experience, whenever people in general feel quite 'heated', then continuing in another area wouldn't really solve anything because of raised emotions at that time and might only make it worse...for me, more of a 'time out' area would be better as trying to communicate with anyone when both your own and their emotions might be quite high is not usually a good idea....
