I would keep most of the forum but I'll make the site Web 2.0 with aspects of facebook and rep system and actually facilitate deals/payments using software. This can explode as a social market/service/e-product auction site. High interactivity, high trust, no fake nicks

papill0n 11-25-2009 02:37 PM

u want mods who can identify multiple nicks

Socks 11-25-2009 02:49 PM

Remove every single ban, and then let nature take its course.

halfpint 11-25-2009 02:53 PM

Make me a mod ... thats the only thing I would change

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.

As an epileptic I have to agree on this one.

Mutt 11-25-2009 03:03 PM

someday somebody's going to have a seizure from that banner and sue.

sometimes i'm not paying attention and i get light headed and then i realize, it's that fucking banner that triggers the light headedness when u stare at it.

andrej_NDC 11-25-2009 03:08 PM

I wouldn't change anything. People will still complain, no matter what and you can't make everyone happy.

Ban sigwhores, ban people who bumps their own threads 24/7 ..see sig nig.
Ban thread hijackers, remove contests as the only people in them is a outsourced company with spam bots posting.

Itrader sounds cool, but dont turn this into DP, ( people selling shit for $0,40 just to get a positive Itrader.

If someone gets a meltdown, then have them perm banned and not welcome back in 2 days.

Also, if someone like Maxwell or Katharos spam frontpage with 10 useless threads..ban them.

Ban all the non paying programs, ban all rogue designers taking the blame for program fucking up.

Ban all content thieves..

In all..dont be a soft cunt.

Why stop there?

The easiest way to grow this board is to permanently BAN EVERYONE!

Then you can have a nice clean professional business board (template).

Vjo 11-25-2009 04:15 PM

Free advertising baaybee!

With gifs. :)

(Cause I read all the PR threads today and deserve it)

Houdini 11-25-2009 04:18 PM

Stop allowing people to shit/give their negative opinions in other's Sell threads. That's banable on most domain forums when people do that.

It certainly is an issue for epileptic people...

I always thought the flashing strobes that ambulances have is a little ironic...

My step father(fully epileptic)_was in town driving one day and rolled up on an accident that an ambulance had been dispatched to. Well they didnt even need to be there for that accident, but since they were fully flashing it sprung my step father into a full on grand maul seizure...

Luckily the paramedics were there to witness the whole thing and attend to him rtight away.

Fucke dup thing was he was in a 4 way intersection at a stop light when it triggered. He ended up tensing up and falling over, gripping the steering wheel and the stomping the pedal in first gear. The story I got was he did 2 doughnuts in the middle of the intersection(while his light was red) then straightened out and hit a parked car that spun around and hit another car that a lady was getting out of. Luckily she wasnt hurt, bumped her elbow is all. After hitting those cars he banked across the street and mounted a parked full size truck. Tuna canned the whole front end.

Ironically, not a scratch on his truck. Ended up having to replace a Ubolt from mounting the other truck.






Flashing Banners are BAD!

Vjo 11-25-2009 04:35 PM

Affilliates need a place to fuck off.

..Don't under estimate the value of fucking off. I enjoy some of the wack jobs (like me)

Remember, pure affils and pure paysite ops are often two different cats. One more uptight (understandably, they have more on the line) and the other bored of the same old same old and needs to fuck off (or be socialable).

All biz would be a big yawner.

Dugan 11-25-2009 04:40 PM

I like the idea of the like or disliike thread function.

pixovore 11-25-2009 04:41 PM

i agree on a domain forum where the playing field needs to be more level, but here it works to the seller's advantage when a healthy debate ensues.

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

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Agent 488 11-25-2009 05:14 PM

if you put any of these ideas in practice gfy would be like the other boards - the same six regulars posting one or two posts or threads a day. bleh ...

the only things you should fix are the speed and time out issues.

That sounds like a good idea.

Last time I read who owns gfy I believe it was Playboy who owns it.

Thanks.

I'd try and keep GFY exactly the same as it is now. Anything more or less would change the vibe. As you know, there are dozens of webmaster boards, but this one is the biggest and most popular. IMO, the reason for that is simple. Posters are allowed to say anything they want, aside from hate, illegal material, and blatant spam. The reason why I don't post on other boards is because moderators always go overboard with their rules and moderating. All the other webmaster boards are censored, heavily biased, and generally no fun.

You don't fix what isn't broken. Those things are what's broken.

psili 11-25-2009 08:04 PM

1. Kill post count
2. Kill colored nicks
3. Kill 'post #[x] & win a prize' threads

Giving dumb people differentiation based on #1 and #2 just make others want to be as dumb. Spunky would agree.

SleazyDream 11-25-2009 08:11 PM

I've never liked fake/multiple profiles.

i can see the need to hide one's identity - i think the board should have that identity though and not release it unless there are threats, legal reasons to do so.

faster servers

better working search

all the people who say business only - are morons. My preference is posts by people IN THE BUSINESS - who cares what they talk about. I want to know what people in this biz do outside of the biz....and inside it. I want to know how they think - what they like, what turns their cranks....I have no interest in people outside of the biz unless it's a post about it from someone who's in the biz. From an advertiser point of view - that's who you want to get your ads in front of.

slapass 11-25-2009 08:16 PM

Gutsy move to buy this board at this time. I hope it works out.

I would milk it just as it is until it died. Look at sex.com and million other domains that were successful until purchased and changed into something else.

JuiceMonkey 11-25-2009 08:17 PM

Enable PM's get a proper server setup.. allow people to PAY to remove ads, create a business directory where people can review users and give them "rep", put up some sort of text link advertising for smaller programs, add a "corner peel" ad section, make this entire website more professional to weed out some of the idiots, anyone who is using a "for business" account needs to be approved (weed out the scammers).

Phoenix 11-25-2009 08:56 PM

dont ban me..lol

if you bought it already kudos :)

HandballJim 11-25-2009 11:17 PM

I like it as is...

suggestions would be, grading members after doing business with them, and members should be required to sign up with ID instead of being anonymous. Also some sig whores do get annoying... Maybe every 10 posts they need to say something useful. :2 cents:

DidierE 11-26-2009 01:43 AM

1) Seperate the buy/sell forum into different categories like: "sites", "domains", "content" (now you have to weed your way through if you are looking for any of these specifically)

2) Allow PM's

3) Install itrader mod

jds 11-26-2009 07:00 AM

Then please add an rss feed

:thumbsup

Fix the servers. I also would like pm's enabled but I know you guys probably don't allow pm's because you think someone will spam links to their webmaster forum...
