How YOU would make BGOL perfect

Get rid of the old dedicated servers.

Move from Vbulletin to XenForo (What a modern forum looks and acts like --> http://www.affiliatefix.com/).

Setup a HAProxy VPS frontend with a bunch of cheap VPSs for the backend running php-fpm instances. It's 2015. You can have clustering on the cheap.

Different membership levels (Free/Basic/Premium).

Automated paid advertising system.

1. Improve the search function to find more exact terms and allow deeper searches of BGOL. (This will eliminate a lot of unnecessary threads and post request)

2. Allow senior members to control the change of user titles.

3. I like the reputation button idea it's a good way to show thanks. (It could also be used to limit lurkers and link killers by requiring members to have certain reputation count in order to view or download certain things. This encourages participation)

ya I've seen boards where if you make a comment and ppl "like" it...the names of the posters c/sing it or liking it will show underneath the post


Nothing can ever be perfect for everybody but these
are Great suggestions all...I'm gone sleep on it if I can come
up with anything good I'll add it.
 
This is a great thread. There are a lot of good ideas in here. I contribute and many on here do, but a lot of people went the route of lurker when the board became combative and people were getting attacked way past Ock, that's what I've been told from many I speak with. Posting people's real pictures, real addresses and worse just isn't cool
 
First we need a moratorium on the donations. Then we need a recruitment drive. We need something like a monthly postmaster general award where you get a free Quaid t-shirt.

Why are you all wasting keystrokes up in here? Countless, excellent and thoughtful suggestions have been made over the years. Nothing is going to be changed.

TEN.. HNIC put you up to this?
 
Isn't there a reason you can't just let any ole body here? Legal reason or something i forget. I don't remember the reason but when it was said by HNIC i think it made sense.
 
everything that needs to fixed has been stated, but hopefully changes are coming because this board is slowly dieing and hopefully an update about the intended changes or this just vent thread about the board
 
voter ban

i've seen where fuck niggas getting banned was put to a vote and if more than 60% of voters wanted that ass gone you was out that bitch
 
I just told the truth with my other screen name! :D:yes:

We need to ban members that love to post weiners in the dick thread like JETS and Dr. Lies! :puke::puke::smh::smh:

Can I ask why do you have more than 1 account? If you don't want to post it send me a pm.

I would bring the business board back. I'd use the format that LSAlley has. It seems that liking posts and giving and adding rep points seems to keep people interested in something without it devolving. Sometimes i just like what someone said in a post instead of posting to the thread and having to write something. Fair across the board moderation. Keeping posts where they belong as well. Most boards i'm on if there's a post that doesn't belong in the general section. Move it to the proper section.

Just implement a more modern message board period. A "like" function. The ability to "chat". A far better search mechanism. E-Mail updates whenever someone responds to your post. The ability to reply directly to a post. Things that ANY modern forum would have.

* boom
 
Open this place up...needs some new blood...Bgol always had its main posters, then another group of main posters would take over..don't see that happening now same ole people post.

it's my understanding the business forum is still here:

I like those in bold. Be cool to have those.
 
People on your blocked list should not be able to post in your threads
great idea, would stop a lot of complaints and whining.

Fam, let the conspiracies go, come on, it's 2015 for fucks sake.
Upload feature
would be really useful.
I shouldn't be able to predict database errors
Sorry, fam. We can't do anything about your psychic abilities. However, if you can tell us this weeks lottery numbers, both UK and USA, we'd be most grateful.
streams and only streams... no passwords, no puzzles, no need to upload juss straight fucking streams..1 click and ur done
As a streams lover myself, I concur.
put up ads for no donations, distribute the site and db so its more resilient..
As long as my Adblocker can block them, good idea.
Bring back the deals section.....

And yeah an Upload feature instead of having to go thru 3rd party sites
Yes, that deals section seemed like a winner to me. I agree it should come back.
There is only 1 way to make BGOL better.


POST MORE PUSSY.....
Agreed, one hundred percent.

Is this an attempt to draw more members or make the board better?
is this a trick question?
Make JETS an admin.
Fam, my premise was make BGOL perfect, not make bgol SOL.
