Future of WhatBoysWant.com

I feel the black box of the poll a bit weird. Wouldn't it be better if it was enlarged to match the post size ? (Or remove the black background, I don't know).

Question: How much room/memory allocation/ processor load does everyone's favorites take up? if it's a lot, how about limiting the size of members favs to their participation? Tie it into their score per say on their uploads and forum posts, of course members would have unlimited or would that be harder to work in that it's worth?
I like the new look it's nice and clean.

I would like to see it without the black box, it does look a bit, well I don't know, a bit different maybe...

@ EL - You should definitely start a thread, that is if there is even going to be news on the front page in the new version...

It would require more resources to limit / restrict these than it would to have it like it is now IMO

Well just tossing it out there wasn't sure, thanks

Cool!!

I'll wait until the new site comes out. I don't want to tease everyone with the ability to be a news mod if the news section disappears.

looks so... plain?

I gotta weigh in on this.

If we're going to rely on our rating system to tell us what's hot or not, then we're going to be deleting a ton of great pictures. There are members out there who admittedly rate every picture of clothed (bikini, lingerie included) a one, because they aren't naked.

Also show me the absolute hottest girl on this site...any of you, and I will show you that she most likely has a rating under 9. So while our rating goes up to 10, in reality no girl has a rating that high after a few votes. An average score is not really 5.5 it's more like 4.5.

While I will agree that there are pics being uploaded that I personally don't enjoy, I've been surprised to see positive comments on them, so how do you filter out the bad ones? Does each mod make the personal choice and say "she's not hot enough"? I think that's a dangerous route to go down. Do we allow the ranking to automatically delete any pic under a 5? Not with the current system in place. Besides the pics would still be on the site for an undetermined amount of time. While you may be right about some pics not being "quality" pics, what's the solution to the problem?

i absolutely agree with this, everyone has their own taste, I don't think as quoted "she's not hot enough" is a downward move. I would like to see a way to rate pictures in a thread, I may like part of the thread, but not all of it, so many times i will not rate a thread, only to be fair to the up loader. Many times I have looked at pics in a thread, then out of FB habit, looked for a "like" button. As it seems to be going, I also think people who contribute a lot should also get the same perks as sponsors. but i understand that is being worked on. I too have been a sponsor on and off here, but came to the point of why buy the sponsorship, as i really don't need anything that a sponsorship gives in return. I have referred many people to this site, told them how much i like it, for them to come back and say " wow, too much hassle, and could not navigate as well as they would of liked to. Then you just have people who simply do not want to register to "porn" sites. I have read and seen many good things in this thread, I like the direction Diz is wanting to take this, and I applaud this(beer)
I have liked this site from the first day i was here, and always have. I do concur with a previous post about how crew members used to bash people, but i see very little of that anymore...good job mods...I do think the forums are the bread and butter of this site, at least it is what I enjoy the most. I do however find myself looking for forum posts that are not full of "attachments" I prefer nice threads where the person has uploaded through a image hosting site, and diz has made it so simple with chickupload.com, which i think was a fantastic add, but i do understand the ez way to upload is through "attachments" I just think it gives a "cheap" look to the thread, but that is totally me, and i do look at them at times, if it is a good thread. I do wish thou that through chickupload, you could put in the full size image, or maybe I am just missing it?? I myself have even slacked of on posting to the forums, am starting to get back into it, have plenty in store for some decent threads. I am always sending in on the uploader. I am sure no matter what diz does, it will all be good. No matter what I will always be a faithful follower of WBW. So carry on soldiers, WBW will always be the best site out there. Also before I go, I seem to always see a lot of ppl complaining about how long it takes to get their pics through the upload que, I don't know what can be done about it, but I think it may help if you just had a few more pic mods to maybe hurry up the pics through que, not that it matters to me, just throwing around some ideas. Cheers to all(beer)

I would like to see a section added, maybe under the home tab, or maybe as a subsection of Home/statistics that shows the members birthdays. Perhaps is could be a list of yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's birthdays.

Im loving the new clean uncluttered look. If there is amobile version with the ability to upload off iPhone/iPad/android then I will probably buy subscription.

Any ideas on timescales?

Something that would be great (even if I believe someone already suggested it) would be the possibility to "follow" a member so that you're been warned when new uploads (and maybe favourites) are added by this member.

Good idea! The best uploaders then get maximum exposure!

Sorry didn't read the whole thread yet, but things I would like to be able would be to be access pics I have rated, sorted per rating.

When topics are listed on homepage could there be some indication as to which are greylisted? This would save time trying to look at matters that are not or will not be listed or viewable

In the next version of WBW, I'd like to see a feature where if someone has a girl in their favorites and that chick is removed for being a dupe, the favorited pic is replaced with the original pic so that people don't lose all their favorite pictures all the time.

It'd also be nice if we got a notice about a picture that was removed from our favorites and something explaining why. This would also help educate people as to what's not supposed to be on this site.

Another suggestion : display the category of the pictures when we're looking at uploaded / favourite pics (without having to go to the properties).

Another thing (as I tried to browse the forum lately) : there should be, like in most forums,a different color for the unread topics and a "go to first unread post" link for these topics.
I have trouble browsing the forum right now because there's only a "new topics" thing but it doesn't seem to be related to me (what I've read on the forum).

I've been on Facebook and one feature they have that I would love to see on WBW is the forums, and or the comments is a "like" , "dislike" , and maybe a variation of "" button. This could serve a coupla purposes. For the Users: When a user says something it reassures them that someone actually reads their post, and if they're outta line and get a ton of dislikes they can curb themselves. It will also be useful in keeping petty arguments from breaking out in the forums. For the Mods: If a user consistently gets dislikes on a high ratio the mods can step in and see if the user is a total ass or just has some mis-understood humor!
It sucks when you make a comment, suggestion, or observation and it gets buried 10 pages back and another used has quote it just to post a
Also knowing who likes you and who doesn't is always a good thing.

Don't change a thing DIZ!
