Suggestions and site feedback

Thank you very much @johnaaw for taking on ownership of the site. I am a newbie, having joined just over a week ago (so my contribution to this topic should be considered in that context, ie with much less experience than members who have been here for many years), however in that short time I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the fantastic community that has been built here. @Muscledan (post #10) and @SpandexSucker (post #19) have raised the topic foremost in my mind about how the site will move forward. For me, there is a direct relationship between accessibility and engagement. Before restrictions on accessibility were temporarily lifted, I was on the site less because of an inability to view as many pictures which, for me, is the catalyst for engaging with other members. Thinking about accessibility from a contributor's perspective, restrictions in what can be viewed on others' profiles could disincentivise engagement with the community through the posting of material. Perhaps a way to partly meet the challenge is to move to a model with several tiers of membership with varying levels of access - something to incentivise the posting of material on which the site depends and at the same time provides options to increase accessibility for those that want it. Thanks too to the former owner for all that has been achieved on this site to date.

Back after a break, glad to see you are taking over the site! It'd be great for the local search to work better, as "load more guys" doesn't function at the moment. A live private chat option accessible through profiles would be good too. Anything to make it easier to hook up with guys in real life. Good luck and thanks again!

Hey John, thanks for taking on the large task of keeping our site alive. Maybe already mentioned by some of the other guys but a simple chat room which also allows you to break off into private chat. Good luck and thanks again!

How do I begin a new thread in the forums? I would like to set up a dating page for guys interested in meeting local guys for dating (however long that may be). As an example: Location: Age: Interests: Availability (single, dating, open relations, etc) It's almost the same thing as in a filled out profile, but would consolidate it on one thread for those who are looking. What are your thoughts? What would you add? How do I begin this thread?

Hi Johnaaw, I've noticed a big change since I've gotten a membership, and I was wondering if free users are going to be so "limited" again when things are going back to normal (with free accounts and memberships)? I'm definitely going to get a membership, so I'll be able to use all the site's functionalities, but I was wondering about the people who don't, and what happens when I contact them? If, as a member, I can see their profiles but they tell me that they can't see any of my stuff (which happened to me earlier), then the benefits of having a membership for me is somehow limited... It'd be frustrating to know I'm contacting people without being able to get their attention, lol. I was wondering if having fewer pictures blocked to free users could help? All videos and hardcore photos could be accessible to members only for instance, but all the other pics would remain visible. An example: earlier, without a membership, I was not able to see any of a specific member's content (although 80% of his -- many -- pics are softcore, I'm seeing now) and he did not get any answer from me at the time, because I couldn't see who I was dealing with... I just hope the same thing won't happen to me as a member when I contact someone that has a free account. Anyhow: thank you for taking over the site, I'm so happy it will live on! John

Hello, I’m new to the site and I’m loving it but I’m having problems with adding people to my favourites and certain pictures aren’t appearing in my my rated bit either. I’ve added someone recently to my favourites but I can’t see them, I’ve liked one of there pictures but I can’t see that on my rated bit either. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or not with the website but can anyone tell me why this is happening? Thank you. Also thank for taking over the site my friend.

Thank you so much for all your wishes and great input. By the end of this month the transition should be over and I'll be starting fixing and implementing the features that are the most wanted. I'm very excited to be part of this great community!

hey spxbrln, membership will come back at some point. but I think we need to rethink the limited aspect of it. yes, there should be restrictions, but a possibility to get around them. e.g. a free-account member asks you to see your photos and you could simply open your photo gallery to them. like it's done in other dating apps. just a thought. as many stated already in this thread, we shouldn't punish free membership account too much. I was also thinking of giving premium membership account a possibility to use (and test) big new features a few weeks before it hits the site for all accounts. this isn't written in stone so we're definitely iterating and trying out some things. cheers!

That’s great to hear and I know you’ll do brilliantly, looking forward to seeing things getting fixed and seeing new features on the website.

Hi Johnaaw, there's a new profil called "sylax" that is posting spam messages a bit everywhere on the site (as a comment to our pics, or in the forum). His profile pic is stolen from another user's profile; he posts links that at first look like related to this site, but that actually lead to some other sites... John

I think I may have seen this somewhere before but I feel it would be nice to have some sort of requirement for pictures, even if private. I realize some people lean more towards the privacy side of things (I'm one of them) but it seems there are a lot of people creating "lurker" accounts for no other purpose than to look as others' pics without joining the community themselves. I'm sure there's a balance somewhere.

Once videos are working again... :) It would be great to have categories for the videos like there are for the pics. Could help when looking around. :)
