Its not all code Angel, I recognised at least one thing and that was the emboldened word, I heard it a lot last year when I was on holiday in Trinidad, every restuarant I went in the waiters proudly announced
"hell mon ya, we's do chips wid everting"
:laughabove:
Never seen the C.E.O. of anything lighten up so quick, in fact he's positivly glowing, come closer fella I need a light.
Martin & Elliot,
The mischevious part of me is thinking that if you want to make money from the site, why not charge the single guys to access the photo ads and give free premium membership to everyone else.
This is an unpopular thing to say, but it might help sort out some of the imbalances in who uses the photo ads part of the site. At the moment there are a LOT of single guys, compared to the number of couples/single females advertising for them.
Oh, do we get an invite to the Symbios Xmas party. wink

Mod edit to remove offensive posting - and no, it's not a new owner doing this. Site AUP remains the same. Being abusive or unfriendly will still not be tolerated. Make your point with being offensive.
so, the censorship of posts has begun in earnest now has it ? rolleyes :roll:
that didnt take you long did it, youve only been here a day mad
Dino - I did it and I saidit wasn't the new owner doing it. I have removed it to another part of the site where it is intact - however it was clearly in breach of the site AUP and couldn't stand.
cool
redface surprisedops: fuckity fuck(TM Jags)
see what happens when ya get all mad n angry n gobby. :oops:
dont i look a twat confused
note to self, read properly before opening gob !
Its a good idea, but the problem is they then join as couples or single fems. I will have a think about it though
Thanks

And boy does yer avatar speak some English to me!!
I think the message here to members is 'Que Sera, sera' or as some sage put it 'Lord please grant me the blessing to worry about the things I can change and to not worry about the things I can't!'
Stop worrying - be positive and see what happens.
Good night all!
I love you all - some quite deeply!

No no no....... it's a very bad idea for those precise reasons. Please don't think about it. Please. I'd like to think it was a tongue in cheek suggestion :doh:
Better get a new avarter with the mule on so folk can see i ain't a single guy then

Yeah all 29921 of us ........... Hhmmmm......... Barnes Wallis Road....... I know where that is...Hhmmm now where was that pub from there....... had a big room attached to it ideal for Xmas parties ....
Do we get shares in the company? biggrin
A clear out of old profiles/photo ads/members would be good at some point. Say an inactive account after 6 months - 1 year. Would save having around 30000 members with only a few 100 actually contributing, and the 3000 or so single guy adverts :grin:
Right im off to bed now
bye bye night night sleep tight
Wow. It's taken me two hours to read this thread! Just one final thought before I go to bed:
Everybody is wary of change when they are comfortable with what they have. However, like it or not, the change has happened and all we can do is wait and see. If we don't like how it turns out we will vote with our feet but at the moment it's still the best we've got.
Quote by Mister_Discreet
As you admit to not knowing the site too well, here's a bit of constructive feedback on your proposals...
The new features:
One unified login and members area for the whole site...

One fundamantal point you may have missed about this site is that it's actually 4 different fairly insular communities, that only have limited cross-over.
1) The Cafe/Let's Meet Up crowd are the ones you are talking to now. We are probably the most resistant to change, and we are also quite possibly the biggest drain on bandwidth, racking up 1000s of page hits per day each.
2) The chatroom crowd. Lovely people, excellent speed readers, but have a tendency to press x dozens of times whenever someone they know turns up. The hardcore use MIRC and therefore probably can't be advertised to.
3) The Dogging Forum people. Some overlap with the rest of the site, but it can be seen as a bit of a ghetto. Not much revenue potential unless you can do a deal with NCP car parks.
4) Photo Ad users. As you know if you've looked at the traffic figures, this is the big bit of the site, but the crossover from there to the other parts isn't as big as you might imagine. Probably your best bet for money making, as this is the part of the site with the most transient visitors, and the part of the site that people would probably expect to be a commerical venture.
Because this site is so split, unless you want to drive traffic from one section to another, I don't really see the value of a unified log-in, tying in IRC will present headaches, and the ability to ban people from certain parts of the ite but ot others will need work to support.
Quote by Elliot
Unlimited pictures

The site already provides this! See "Personal Pages" on the lefthand menu. I assume you mean more photos in the photo ads, where there is a limit of 3? Nice, but non essential, and it will cost you a lot of bandwidth.
Quote by Elliot
Site messaging

Hmm, we already have 'reply to photo ads', the ability to PVT in chat, and PM on the forum. Each has their uses, so unification seems once again to be tricky, and unnecessary.
Quote by Elliot
Video chat room

As I have said before... nice, but difficult. The current resistance to camming can be seen by the site policy of only allowing people to mention camming in one single thread over in 'Let's Meet up'. I thnk there is potential for money making there, but probably not from the forum crowd.
Quote by Elliot
User profiles

We already have forum profiles, and the Photo Ads. Another idea thet I think falls into the 'diffcult and not really beneficial' category.
Quote by Elliot
Distance displays

Again, nice, but problematic. People move about, can't spell, or wish to keep their location secret.
Quote by Elliot
An ultra boost in speed

Long overdue... but has to be paid for somehow!
Quote by Elliot
...And many more…

I'm glad to see you have lots of ideas, and a drive to make the site better. I'm sure the SH community will be happy to 'muck in' and help with suggestions and (where needed) manpower. You have bought access to this resource, so why not use it, and ask us how you could do things better or make money without driving us away?
This is a very constructive input by Mister discreet. To the new owners.......please look and learn!!!! :idea:
Bed Bed ??? Hell we don't sleep till sun up. the car parks are calling bit cold tho'.

At my age its undignified, can I be excused and just use the old method of sticking my hand up?
Must change the message now to
" Clint from the GHETTO" section now must I ??????
Maybe you can sweeten the deal and soothe some of our worries by granting multi-site membership for your portfolio of dating/adult sites wink :twisted:
Bed.. pah, 15 hours of forum fun for me now, 8 beers later, and i must say im quite enjoying it since its calmed down a bit!!

Hawd the bus!!!!! so/..... sorry but its ok for the site "new owner" to come waltzing into our chatroom with rules that were set in place to keep the chat room running smoothly, to come waltzing in... breaking almost every rule on his first visit, and i'm expected to do absolutely feck all.... listen you mods may well have held the new owners over a barrel with time scales to "make it public or else" but us mere Op's tend to let each and every single person have their say.... and in saying that I have NO CLUE why KBUK's thread has been pulled/deleted/shifted/or... whatever technical term you's have for removing it from public view..... but it must be a good one and good on ya's....
:thumbup: top notch on the Mods part yet again :roll:

:bounce: we have another addictee already!! cool lol
Unlimited pictures was put across as a private gallery, accessible by whoever is granted access. That would certainly be useful as it's entirely optional and beneficial as it will tie in with the personal ads (as is my understanding)
Video chat would probably not work due to the extreme demands on bandwidth, not only on the server but on each members connection. Maybe in about a year?
Using Java as the chat medium might be better than mIRC, but I can't see much difference between the two from using them on different sites.
Maybe not distance displays, but location menus and a search facility for that would be much appreciated, with the option for anonymity of course.
Just a few of my thoughts from a techie and SH viewpoint smile

I know jas, but I've just got confused, there's some telling me we are going tits up so I try that, then someone else tells me we are to vote with our feet so I try that, in all honesty I've got children and a hampster in the house and my continual thrusting of various body parts and limbs into the air is frightening them.

So the people advertising for single males are spoilt for choice and you want to penalise the single males for that? And all the single males leave. And then......?
