The Best Message Board in our genre!

[Bluestone]

Hey Gang,

No, I'm not claiming that FF is the best message board in our genre... I'm asking you what you think is needed in order to make it so

I've provided this meeting place for the community, but I've said many times that it's your message board. So, let me know what you think is required in order to make this THE BEST MESSAGE BOARD in our genre, and I'll see what I can do to fulfill your wishes!

Simply share with us how you would complete the following sentence: "I would spend more time and make more postings on the FF board if _____________________________!!!"

Let us hear your suggestions, plus your comments on the other suggestions that are posted on this thread.

"I would spend more time and make more postings on the FF board if _____________________________!!!"

This is more than I can resist.

First, you need at least 10,000 confusing rules
Second, you need to make sure you never follow any of them but expect everyone else to
Third, you need to keep talking about getting a newer, greater board but never deliver on the promise
Fourth, you need to increes the nummer of spel mistkes u make when tiping massages
Fifth, you need to refer to other producers models using only vituperative 4 letter epithets or other invectives
Sixth, you need to show up on other boards periodically to tell the owner that he/she should do things the way you do..

Blue,

I already spend more time on this board than on the others. For some reason the model described above seems to draw the most members, but I would not say that it draws the same quality as PP or FF.

It would be nice if you (Blue) would pretend that you can read our minds and put words into our mouths. I would like to be misrepresented on occasion. Also, you can engage in ad hominem attacks and then put a smiley face next to it -- because you're just kidding, of course. Can't anyone take a joke?

Alas, unless you've worked as a security guard, Blue, I doubt you have the experience necessary to create such a message board.

I suppose there are improvements to be made, but the fact is, I spend almost all my time on this board and don't bother with the others. You've got material that draws me to the site, and then I check the board. On the others, just going to a board to engage in verbal sparing is simply not the way I wish to use my time.

Agree with TG the civility content and Blues responsiveness to suggestions and comments is exceptionl. But what really draws me to this site are the models and productions.Speaking of models iIMHO Blue does a outstanding job of scouting out talent posting info of what is comming up and even flys in Petra.This is a AAA site. :

This place seems to be always improving things for the good since I started coming last year.
The only thing I suggest is to get a e-mail button on the front page or the bar at the top if you can.

[Bluestone]

An email button or link to the webmaster or to me? Of course, you could also just ring the doorbell and Petra or Maxine X would be pleased to open the door and show you to the pool and lounge area where bikini clad beauties are wandering about for your viewiung pleasure... but, if you just want an email button for the shy ones amongst you, that would be fine too.

Email button added to blue strip under FF banner thanks to G-Man and BrianTK

Seems to be doing fine. I can't post much with a freedom robbing shadow watching my every move, but I am lurking.

How can we make this better?
Let's NOT turn every thread into an opportunity to bash another board, or it's Czar.

After his self imposed 30 day "vacation", I sure the fire and brimstone will
rain on us all if someone reads that we have been inferring bad things about him and the place he runs.

We need to show him how a board is run properly, by example, by adults.
We are better than him, lead by example.

Just make sure you can bring up the site.Vista sucks with low speeds at least on this site.

[Bluestone]

Hi Gold,

Actually, Vista sucks period. What a dog of a program. I would suggest downgrading to XP which, in effect, would be an upgrade. If you hear a scream in the background, it's not one of my Bluestone lovelies, it's my lovely wife on her Vista O.S. computer sceaming because it started an upgrade, kicking her out of Internet Explorer when she was half-way through composing a very long email response. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Anyway, she's stopped screaming for a moment to catch her breath. I know there are others who are having problems accessing the site. I've posted on DS, and if you have intermittent access problems, I'm posting here too that I need a few people to run a tracer route test from their computers so that we can identify and fix the problem. Please email me at DDGBluestone@hotmail.com if you are having these access problems and want to help find a solution

Wow. The culture shock of civility and adult conduct has me reeling. LOL

However, we can't possibly follow Max5's suggestions because, after all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Nice board, Bluestone.

Simply share with us how you would complete the following sentence: "I would spend more time and make more postings on the FF board if _____________________________!!!"

OK, here goes: I will spend more time and make more postings on the FF board even if nothing at all is done!!!

[Bluestone]

Hey Gang,

Paul of KHP had a suggestion to improve this board, and we are looking into what is required. Although, I usually post using a larger font size, this is the default font size for posts. Paul suggested, and quite rightly so, that a larger font would be easier to read, especially for us older folks and for those using laptops. So, I will get BrianTK working on that right away.

Thanks for your email suggestion, Paul! Glad you're here

(P.S. Hope you can read the fine print )

[Bluestone]

Hi Paul,

Yes, the ignore button can be used very effectively to blot out those who irritate

As for the "Karla" movie, I don't know if you know it, but that's based on a true story which happened in Toronto, Canada... my stomping grounds. No, I didn't do it... I swear!!!! They were a pretty nasty couple of serial killers though, and Karla's back on the streets now. Scary stuff!
