The biggest issue with this site is that it goes offline for a couple days on a semi-regular basis. I dunno whether thats on purpose, because you are trying to add functions, or whether thats server or bandwidth issues, but one of the best parts about this place is the ongoing conversations and when those are interrupted for 48 hours, they derail.

We resolved the server issues for now.

Make it so oversized pictures fit to page and not stretch them out. We had this before and it was great for various obvious reasons but then vanish again after an update.

Vimeo embedding would be nice.

Switch servers for less down time like Ne Obliviscaris said if possible.

Look at the mods/global mods and see which have been inactive for a long time, replace them with active members that wouldn't abuse the power to help run the place a little smoother on a boarding level.

Nothing too major really.

I fixed that issue yesterday, dont think anyone noticed.

I saw some big pics posted that like it kept all this, where we write, to the left but the pic was still however big it was and you could scroll over to view it all. For awhile even if you embedded a 10000x10000 pic it would resize it to fit in the boarders of your average post width without stretching it.

That said I can't see whatever you posted pic wise because NOD32 antivirus blocks it and most of the smilies, no clue what that's all about lol.

Good shit regardless though Gabe and thanks for asking for our input.

Did you like that feature? I was thinking of changing the user titles too....

BTW: Your avatar is one of my favorite scenes from Workaholics.
unfortunately the nostalgia of the old board is gone, so i dont think it really matters. there was a time when u had to "earn your stripes" around here but that shit is long gone.


and yeah thats definitely one of the funniest scenes in that show. i love that Tyrone is the same guy who plays Huell in Breaking Bad

we need active moderators.

ill take the detox again, or open forum preferably.

id think of changing the look/feel to go along with the times of updated msg board/its 2014... but id think about that some people would hate the 'classic look' being fucked with but i think it would help attract new traffic.thing is msg boards have gone a long way since vbulletin and theres alot of dope msg boards based on creativity

id bring more women here, somehow. i hate to say it but this place is a total sausage fest. its kinda cool to have female posters it just adds to the feel of the message board got females and males. i like posting on message boards where i get females responding to my posts as well as males. it just adds to the discussion and brings a little spice and flavor into talking online.

id make a clear link between the front page of siccness and the message board. cuz it seems people who go to the front page dont go to the msg board and ppl who go to the msg board dont go to the front page

im done thinking for now, maybe later..im sure ill add more
