Improve GFY forum organization - GoFuckYourself.com

Brujah · 03-23-2005, 12:32 AM

Honestly, think about this a little. The threads get buried too fast and potential business is lost in the process. We need something of a Business forum where designers, content providers, and domain owners can negotiate and transact without all the threads falling to page 6 or page 14 before we can relocate them.

Can we get a b2b type forum please ?

NaughtyRob · 03-23-2005, 12:35 AM

I somewhat agree, yes but only this.... there needs to be an announcement and spam forum section.

James White · 03-23-2005, 01:20 AM

This has been brought up a few times, doesnt seem to ever get a response though. I wish it would be done.

Kevsh · 03-23-2005, 01:21 AM

A lot of threads deserve to get buried quick, so yes, it's unfortunate that some of the useful ones get lost.

SmokeyTheBear · 03-23-2005, 01:23 AM

Ill tell you one big column on the first page that makes no sense at all.

The "LAST POST" section. On gfy it will always be within the last few minutes so its rather pointless

Illicit · 03-23-2005, 01:25 AM

dont fuck with the gfy, you will ruin it

Brujah · 03-23-2005, 01:34 AM

ok well I just need some designers, and some content. but i know if i post and ask, it'll be on page 10 before i can find it and others miss it too.

if you want to contact me, icq me

PHPdude · 03-23-2005, 01:36 AM

i think this site is perfect just the way it is

reynold · 03-23-2005, 01:53 AM

I agree with PHPdude. Drastic changes might ruin everything.

you could always bump it every so often.

Trax · 03-23-2005, 02:08 AM

a dedicated business forum would not work
all you can do is limit the crap on the main index, eg. delete postwhore contests and such

Zester · 03-23-2005, 02:34 AM

don't do something to GFY that will destory it
if you keep only the big players here - you will destory it.

to many irrelevant posts? divide the fourm by subjects (smartly), it works on other boards - it will work here too if you do it right

Yes it would.
I know a local wm board that has a moderated "business only" forum and a chat forum.

Chat forum is always full, and a lot of people also post in the business forum.

TheMob · 03-23-2005, 02:43 AM

I think this forum could easily handle 4-5 sub forums and still be plenty fast. But then again, why fix it if it ain't broke?

you're right about the fact it ain't broken - no matter the bullshit - GFY is still rocking

Barefootsies · 03-23-2005, 05:54 AM

Noone's talking about anything drastic. Maybe adding one more subject or forum for business. That way business is conducted there, and all of the normal chat, news postings, and such are kept in that forum.

Brujah · 03-24-2005, 02:05 AM

bump

too short approved

Maybe you need to learn more about VB.

The tools are in VB to track your threads. Try Quick Links/Subscribed threads, that gives me a list of all the threads I've posted in. makes it easy to find stuff that I've started.

Brujah · 03-24-2005, 02:22 AM

how do I tell vb to subscribe to threads I post in, but NOT send me emails about them ?

Stacey_JoinRightNow · 03-24-2005, 04:17 AM

yeah...this is a very NICE idea...i second that

NewbieNudes · 03-24-2005, 04:23 AM

I concurr - splitting down to a few more main topics can't hurt.

VideoJ · 03-24-2005, 04:27 AM

Quick Links > Edit Options > Message Thread Options and change it to no emails

Brujah · 03-24-2005, 05:20 PM

thanks videoj, found it. that'll help tremendously.

who · 03-24-2005, 05:22 PM

I recommend making biz.gfy.com for the business stuff

comps.gfy.com for comps

allanuk.gfy.com for new/current affairs

:D

Juicy D. Links · 03-24-2005, 05:24 PM

Brujah , there is a option where it puts a check mark next to posts that you posted in and such , It helps alot for example if you want to come back and your thread is buried. Sometimes i bookmark also just in case.

Brujah · 06-01-2005, 12:19 AM

Thanks for both, the subscription tip and the new forum!

Zester · 06-01-2005, 12:52 AM

this thread is 2.5 months old god damn it

Brujah · 06-01-2005, 01:00 AM

So ? I went through and cleaned out some of my subscriptions after the tips given in this thread. Maybe they'll be useful to someone else, especially without the search feature.

nothing against you

I just had a secret hope this thread (like all others) will be forgoten under the 100 milion threads this board has a day - so GFY will remain the same board that I love now
