Allow people to vote "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on threads so I don't waste my time combing through all this crap.

AIbenjamink · 11-25-2009, 09:32 AM

It seems something about this board already works..

Why send it to the bone yard with the rest of them?

Profits of Doom · 11-25-2009, 09:35 AM

This place could definitely use an iTrader system like most of the mainstream forums have. They are far from foolproof, but it helps having a little background info going into a transaction. If I see someone has a lot of positive iTraders I'm more likely to purchase a service or product from them...

If you did, first thing you should do is follow a few simple suggestions to fix the server load and search feature issues. It's really not hard

good answer, enhance on what works, dont try and make into something that it is not. Improve the servers, do away with the delay between posts, fix the search

I think a "star" system like it is on another board I go to would be good....It goes from five stars down to one star.....So when I see the title and only one star, I don't have to bother to click it.

I would say have some kind of "webmaster verification" system where you get a badge by your avatar that shows you are not a troll or surfer

DamianJ · 11-25-2009, 09:49 AM

imho, you never get answers you want when you just ask users what they want. They all want different things. The spammers want one thing, the idiots want another thing, the bros want another, and the professionals want something else.

The delay between posts isn't that bad is it? I've never found it really really annoying actually. I post 3-4 times a day on GFY so maybe thats why, people who post a lot will notice it. I agree with the search tho, that annoys me to no end.

Fix the search
New servers/repair old ones
Clean up a lot of the idiots around here

The Porn Nerd · 11-25-2009, 09:57 AM

BAN ALL THESE BULLSHIT 'SOCIAL' THREADS!!!! Like, 'Hey, did you see HBO last night?' or 'Sarah Palin did THIS today'.

This place should be for BUSINESS - you wanna chat and twitter like fucking GIRLS then go on MySpace or Facebook and pretend you're 14 all day long. Leave GFY for the PROFESSIONALS.

Thank you.

Destroy that seizure inducing banner that flashes. Dont just delete it. Save it to a removable media and burn it, then shoot holes in it, then blow it up. Re-gather the pieces and release the black plague on them in a jar, then throw it into an ocean. Not just any ocean. The frozen ocean on jupiters moon, titan.

I personally dont care for that flashing.

Honestly, besides the occasional down times, it's not so bad at all really. Shooting the shit is important and that part is not broken at all. It is the program discussion AND fucking around forum after all..

A simple icon to designate a thread as Business is an idea. Thread starter selects it, and if they abuse it.. kicked.

All great answers and to reiterate the verification system so we don't have a ton of post whores, surfers and idiots here posting, like the dumbass spamming her Amazon links for fucking boots. This is a WEBMASTER board, not a free for all. Seems a lot of people forget that.

BVF · 11-25-2009, 10:21 AM

Oh, and another feature on another board I go to is that I can mouseover the link to the thread without clicking it and see the first couple lines of text come up in a little box....Then, I can know whether or not I'm interested in it and won't waste time even loading a page that I don't want to see.

that one is good...

but basically: faster server, a working search (I get results for the same term from 2005 but not from last week)

Get involve with your team and make this place more about real business, set up chatrooms for daily or weekly moderated seminars. Interact with the industry in a business kind of way. You know what you are doing in adult Dave so caring for the new blood coming in and helping them would be a huge step.

I would also have profiles state if the board member is a confirmed adult webmaster or work in the industry or noob and try to eliminate surfers and trolls with +10 fake profiles.

I won't pretend to know what it costs to operate GFY, but we all have a rough idea of the kind of money it brings in advertising wise. I've always thought it would be nice to see even just a portion of the proceeds put back into GFY (aside from the shows.) Be it new features, better load speeds, quality contests/prizes of some sort (like in the early days, Blu-Ray players are cheap for example.)

There really hasn't been much evolution over the years.

Yeah, really! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

You will be lucky if some of the people that left due to the absurd business decision of selling a skin to thieves ever return. Now you are scaring off everyone who stuck around!

Change the board now, and you can stick a fork in it, as it will be done!

One dumbass business decision after the other....

stickyfingerz · 11-25-2009, 12:16 PM

You don't want to fuck with a formula that obviously works pretty well already. Other than maybe some verification of new nicks, and removal of fake nicks that are out there just to damage others without any risk to themselves. Accountability is the only thing I would say to add other than increasing forum speed / server speed.
