I like:
The sponsor page - I'm working my way through it

Greenguy

Jim

The Radio Show - although I wish I could comfortably listen to it live in the UK

I dislike:
English speakers who criticise foreigners for their poor grasp of English but who then go on to misuse "then" when they mean "than", "alot" when they mean "a lot". "there" when they mean "their" etc

Jim 2006-09-08 10:28 AM

Alot is a good one for me too. I am surprised by how many people don't know it's really 2 words :)

Greenguy 2006-09-08 10:34 AM

I have learned that that it's a lot & not alot, that then refers to time & their is personal :D

I lissened to the show about likes and dislikes
There was some talk about new members being bashed. I still would consider myself new, and I will say I have been bashed a little. I look at it like this. This is a small community here. If you want to be a part you have to take some bashing. Its normal. As far as the online porn community goes there are some big players here. If you belong and are worth while of being here you have to prove yourself a little. Its just how this and most businesses are.
My likes
I like the advise I get. Sometimes my questions are Noobie questions, or some would say "stupid question" but I am a Noobie. I might get bashed a little, but I get tons of help from everyone. I belong to alot of boards, I signed up for all of them I could find. I like it here best. I dont log on to any of the others anymore. There is substance here that is like no other. The other boards seem like there full of spam, and just people looking to scam. I can honestly say this board helps me stay in the business. You guys rock.

i think like this, not one question is stupid, newbie or oldie, after almost 6 years i still have stupid questions, but you know what, i dont care if someone find it stupid, i just will ask my question, there is always someone around who is willing to answer you.mmm there was a saying, i dont know what anymore....heay i am getting old also...it was something like...its stupid to not ask ....no no it wasnt that, it was different.....oh never mind to late for me here:D

No need to bash him senseless with words, after reading his post I got him right in the back of the head with my stapler.

Jim wouldn't let me use mine, which was "There's not such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people"

Amen, eman!

Though that affront is balanced by the thoughtful suggestions eventually offered to non-native speakers of the tongue...another "LIKE" for us with regard to this board.

(We will stay off the grammar soap box as best we can!)

eman 2006-09-09 03:55 PM

Something I should have said earlier ..

I come here every day because I consider it to be worth my while.

I respect Greenguy and Jim, and a good number of the people who post here.

This is my number one resource.

misspelt Greenguy (the shame!!)<>

So what do you like and/or dislike about this board?

Give us a list of each.

Don't worry if you dislike something that's you assume is a hard & steady rule of the board - we're looking for honest opinions.

I have only spent a few hours reading and looking around so far but I can give you my early impressions which I think are also important. I know I have a lot more to read.

You GG seem too fair, and thats great :) I don't know how you keep such a level head. It's obvious to me and you I'm sure that some people post things here with a hidden agenda. But you allow them to play stupid and give them the benefit of the doubt.

You Jim are just a friendly bear hehehe but when I read on I may find another side of you.

small negative for me was your hidden hello thread. But I realise that you have to organize your page to try and keep it clean so no biggy.

I can't link to your for several reasons like I have a sex counter and I think my site is free but not in your vision of what a free site should be.

As far as I have been able to summise so far, link sites have evolved to become super tgps and free sites have evolved to become super galleries. All nice and efficient. I have a lot to learn about hub control and free site infrastructure but I think I have the general idea now.

I am working full time on my site and hope to be able to form a good symbionic relationship with a few top boards. yours bb and gfy you are all so different but have the same goals. I hope I fit in here because even though my site does not fit into your current rules I have the same phylosophy as far as honesty and quality the rabbit and the tortoise, common sense, ect.

Generally the layout is great and so far the people seem very friendly and some what generous. I look forward to meeting the people in your community and learning from the millions of hours of experience that are housed here.

No hidden agenda just my honest opinion|loony|

good luck with your present future ideas GG & Jim

Well, it's not that hidden :) It's stuck on top of the Chit Chat forum & when you signed up, you were sent an email with a link to the current month's thread. So we do try to let everyone know where it is :)

Those would be comments for a thread that was titled "What I Dislike About Link Lists" :D

I second that too, I think it's a real time saver, since sometimes thread titles don't reflect the thread contents very well.

Other than that I have no real suggestions. Although sometimes answers from established people to newcomers can be a bit harsh like some people mentioned before, I think that also actually is one of the board's best qualities. I think it's better to have someone tell you the raw honest truth than kissing your ass and let you continue fucking up. That and the number of participants is what I like best here...

Greenguy 2006-09-12 08:53 AM

I've said it before, but Keep'em Coming!

Your right of course, sorry about that. I never had a problem finding it. What I was trying to say is that not many members seem to go inside and say hello. The ratios of hello's verses users seems low. but it's not that important anyway |bananna|

I was not trying to say I disliked anything here, just trying to figure things out really and where I stand in the free site world. Your free system is great and I want to to make a hub surrounded by 100 free domains all GG & Jim Compliant |bow|
Sounds like a great new project. Each could be a different niche. Are there 100 niches? must be close.

To sum up I am in 100% agreement with your free site model. Thanks for all your development and support.

zack2004 2006-09-12 06:29 PM

I've been reading (lurking) on this board and many others for many years. This board has real porn webmasters (GG, Javes (Jim), Cleo, Danger Dave, Tommy, Jay .............etc) that are willing to share what they know.
Yes, you might get FLAMMED but if you're not really an asshole and have thicker skin than then an octogenarian you'll hang in here and learn something.
If you can't take a little heat for what you learn (radio show, MML on the Bench, Etc), then move on!
This is the best adult webmaster board I have seen and will always read it even if I were banned. |thumb

Chop Smith 2006-09-12 06:55 PM

Fact is we have the best adult community on the internet.

Most of the dislikes are related to technical issues associated with a canned script and just plain old human nature. We are lucky to have Sparky to address the technical issues. but we will have to live with the harsh comments, rants and occasional drama as it is difficult to moderated life.

I would like to see the moderators get active again. Seems to me that in the beginning, each forum had a moderator that knew their shit. When one of the 'know it all posters' gave bad advice or info, you could depend on a 'bull shit' or 'I don't agree' reply from the forum moderator. (Damn, I miss Danger Dave). A person can take harness as long as he knows he is getting correct feed back.

Good morning, Jim, and happy birthday to the world. I remember the time when you shared your knowledge and business opinions. |couch|

I know Chop...and to tell you the truth, this summer has been very busy for me. I told Sparky a few days ago that I have been spending way too much time doing something for the board every day that used to be easy :) And now that summer is over, it is getting easy again. So, you can count on me pissing and moaning about the injustices in our business. And, as you say, sharing everything I know with everyone. :)

dareutwo 2006-09-12 09:12 PM

Likes - the community. I've moved twice in 8 years, but to me, it doesn't really matter where the hell I move. It's like a family right here.
New Posts - a real time saver
Email Alerts - a reviewers life saver
The no BS help - I still don't have a clue sometimes either (well ok, most of the time)

Dislikes - I really don't have any.
In the real world your boss reprimands you. So getting flamed a bit shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. GG and I don't always agree on certain topics, but we leave it at that, we agree to disagree and move on.
Tuesday night radio show - I'm normally at some sports thing on Tuesday nights. Wed works good though :)

Emerald 2006-09-13 03:49 AM

I do have one suggestion - the top of the message board screen has this line of clickable links "User CP FAQ Calendar New Posts Search Quick Links Log Out"

I would love to also see that same line at the bottom of the page... ! always have to scroll to the top after I reply or finish reading the posts... so much simplier to click on the link to "new posts" or search without have to scroll (ok I guess im a lazy biatch)|roses|

juicylinks 2006-09-14 04:29 PM

Ok i am here!!!!!!!!! I have been coping with some withdrawal's from Paxil lately and been out of it...
