Future of WhatBoysWant.com

As I think this was mentioned before, a way to sort your pictures you have uploaded whether it be from highest rated to most views would be a nice feature, but what do i know lol

I luv the site and all of the people for the most part...

Well to be honest, business is getting slower and slower. On our top we had about 160.000 visitors a day, now we only got 40.000 visitors a day.

This is one of the reasons why I want to start from scratch with new WBW. Make it awesome again, with the focus on the community; If we go down, we should go down as what we are, and not what makes the most money.

i have no problems with the site. i'm still here after almost 7 years.

my real estate business is off 75% from the high, too.

i think it's the economy. working guys don't have time to peruse WBW in their spare time anymore. it's a constant hustle trying to find work & pay the bills. wanking takes a back seat to bill paying?

PS: Sugarpie, sorry if you got like 12 of those. I clicked the button and didn't think it was working so like the dumb boy I am I just kept pressing it over and over.

I really am not tryin' to leg hump a lesbian. I totally understand that I lack a vagina. Your page was open and I saw the button. Shiny objects and boys do not often end in good outcomes.

I was just seeing what the button did. Sorry.

I totally posted this in the wrong thread...

It's obviously not my business, so feel free to not answer me, but how did he destroy so much work (2 to 3 years)? In what way?

Did he like... Just delete all the old shit and not keep copies or what?

He removed the partition of his computer when he left the company and reinstalled his computer. He removed even the backup we have on an external drive. I am working on starting a lawsuit against him.

I'd suggest the option of downloading all your favs and uploads with one single clic

I am not a paying member, yet. I am also not skilled in web design. I also don't know how much work it takes to build a site like this or to maintain it.
That said, I don't have too much problem with the way the site is. Sometimes it gets really slow, but maybe that is because it is a successful site with a lot of concurrent users? Anyway, if you do revamp the site, I hope it is still easy for novices like me to use. I like browsing the site on occasion.
Thank you all for all the work you do on this site.

I like the Idea of members who share, get the same privileges as sponsors. Especially for people who may not be able to afford a monthly membership, but can be active in the community here. I have always like that on some adult torrent sites they make you keep a certain download ratio, in order to keep downloading content. Give and get type of thing. It's seems to create a pretty good community, because instead of just paying some money for certain perks, people are putting work into it, making the site/community mean more to them. just my opinion.

I think AZ has a point. I am normally a sponsor member, but at the moment I'm unemployed and unwilling to pay for it right now. Once I have a steady income, I'll definitely be a paying member again ... it's worth it.

I have only been here 2 years, so I don't know how much better it was before then, but I enjoy the site as it is very much.

I think this option is available to sponsor members?

I know I can download my favorites with one click. (Or, at least 200 of them at a time)

The old orange and black version was better IMO

Personally I enjoy the softcore stuff so there's never been a need to get a membership.

Please consider installing a 'slideshow' option for the favourite babes feature. This allows hands free for other activities.

For things like writing a letter to your mom?

The idea is to change the layout to more basic and less bright, look at http://chatplayground.com/ for an example. The current layout of WBW is way to cluttered and way to fancy for it's own good.

The code base of WBW is still in the stone ages and need to be rebuild. We have a lot of libraries we cannot add to WBW as these are build on our modern framework we use in newer projects. This makes development of new features in WBW very slow. A lot of code is cluttered. So the best thing we can do is restart whole WBW.

I will start development in a week or so, and will include the community as much in the development as possible. The first thing is to create a basic layout with top banner, menu, footer. So everybody can judge the design, on the same note I will start developing the framework behind the site (database, codebase, ect).

To include the community into the sharing aspect I will ask you guys/girls to think about ways to earn your standing in WBW community. How should we reflect your status, ect.

It would great to have recommended pictures or members with most similar favorites as suggestions to find other pictures that may to be my liking!

I like the clean straight forward look of ChatPlayground. A similar layout here would be most appreciated. I have an old slow system and live out in the sticks so my "highspeed" is anything but that. I've never been a paying member but have considered it just never seem to have any "fun" money at the end of the month. As for benefits for participants...I guess base it on number of times logged in, forum posts and responses, and of course uploaded pics and movies. I'm not quite sure how many of what gets you how many benefits, I guess that is for those who pay the bills to decide...Just my 2cents worth.

I like the title system. Maybe add a few more titles to the list and raise the points needed to get the titles?

I'd like more "top members" lists. For example, "Top dupe hunter, top taggers, top uploaders, top raters, top commentators, top thread starters, top donors, etc."

That way regardless of how someone contributes they get some recognition for it.

I think a reward system based on either the current points system or a version similar to it would work. Maybe the point values and how they are collected needs to be tweaked.

On another note, I think some sort of IM chat would be a nice feature.

To judge a book by its cover, chat playground looks like a corny dating site.


I think the Paying for WBW to get "The good stuff" had a role in the site dying down, but i understand why it has to be done, so the sharing idea, i think is a good idea, also the pictures uploaded here are all old ugly women. i never see young sexy attractive girls here very much anymore. That might have something to do with it too.


The "Download original picture" feature you get as a sponsor, i think should be available to the regular members! I like being able to save a picture and its the original size and quality "resolution" that was uploaded to the site. Being able to download all my favs in one, or a few clicks would be nice too.


Iv hung around WBW since the beginning, so im thinking ill be here no matter where it ends up, and i like the way it looks now, but i also liked it before so...

Perhaps instead of just a blanket, "Sponsors get it, others don't" line...

Maybe it should be, "Sponsors get it. Others get it in 90 days."

Or perhaps those of us with credits can buy access to those things with our credits. I have 1300+ credits sitting here doing nothing. If I could pop in and "buy" access to some of the sponsor features for small amounts of credits, it would certainly be a plus. I'd also probably actually try to get more credits. Right now I pretty much just do stuff as it comes up, but it's not hard for me to raid a section of the site and hunt for dupes or something.

If I had a reason to earn credits, I might focus more on earning them. I tag, but I don't get credits for tagging and I just do it because it's fun and I think it's a good way to help the site. If I got credits for it and then could also spend credits somehow other than on movies, I'd probably be more interested in earning them.

Right now... They're just kind of there.
