Future of WhatBoysWant.com

Not sure how long I have been a member of this site for, but this is way the best porn sharing site in the world. Long Live WBW!

That was my first ever post, Hurrah!

Two bugs I've noticed so far with the permanent tagger status (so that they won't be reproduced in the next version) :
- permanent taggers don't get credits when they put tags.
- if you change something in your settings (like number of pictures per page or theme colour) you loose your tagger status and have to logoff / login to retrieve it (there could be the same bug with mod status aswell).

The tagger scripts have been totally rewritten and haven't applied credits scene yet. But will look into it.

Good to see you posting here!! Keep it up!

I have been here for 7+ years now and this site is awesome! Awesome work Diz-X! I really like the look of the new site so far. Looking forward to a test site to play with too.

- Now sure if this idea has been mentioned before but what do you think about auto deleting a picture after a certain time period that has a low rating score. This would remove a lot of the disgusting bad pictures from the db leaving only the hot good ones.

- Auto checking a thread to see if it has has active links / hotlinks to pictures. Old threads with no pics should deleted as they are no good any more any make searching harder.

- I think the news on the homepage should be turned into a larger part of the site. I use to read it a lot, but now with it being on the bottom of the homepage, I don't any more.

In regards to why the site is slowly dieing, because this is a great site. I think you should do some research more then just assuming that it is because of the different more confusing layout alone. Are users going to another site? Where did users come from initially? Could it be due to something as simple as the banner ads making the site look bad? Read deep into those analytics as I bet there is more to the story.

I guess it's not my business, but if you feel like answering it, I have always wondered how much do you make off of a site like this?

Anyways, good luck coding and with the site! Hopefully it will still be here in another 7 years.

As a 'perk', I think that paid user account's tags should be applied immediately to the babe pic.

First off, love WBW! Keeps getting better. I think my main suggestions were already mentioned, the page freeze/reset when rating pics and better iPad/iPhone accesibility. Has anyone else noticed a ton of error messasges popping up today?

What kind of errors did you get?

404 image not found... but if I went back and forth it would eventually come up. Seems to be happening randomly.

Also getting some "topic not found" errors when I click on forum pages. When I get kicked out and then try to go back to them they usually open. Just odd and a little frustrating. Haven't done anything to my computer so I don't think it is on my end.

oke i restarted some services.. hopefully this helps

mysql-proxy has been screwing me lately... so I have to look into upgrading the software to a more reliable version. I think it has something to-do with new mysql 5.1 and incompatiblities with the version of mysql-proxy we are using.

Would cost some money, but to get the numbers back to the site that we once had would be advertise, advertise, advertise. I remember the reason I first visited the site was due to some random comment some writer made in a maxim or something.

Testing the new mysql-proxy scripting, this should fix some problems we have lately!

Seems to working well. Thanks!

I have the feeling the site feels faster then before.. but it could be me..

It seems to be working faster for me too, although I just updated from Firefox 4 to Firefox 5, so I don't know if that's it or not.

Tell you what is annoying, if I click Top 5 Babes then "next" I wanna see the next picture within the top 5 babes, not the picture that happens to have been uploaded next to it (usually some hairy 60yr old) same with any particular grouping, I wanna see the "next" picture within that grouping. ATM you have to go into the picture grouping, then out, then into the next picture, then out, then into ... etc, etc

It needs to be easier to navigate, a smoother experience.

Which one is better?

I prefer #1 - the one with the boxes.
