It was time to upgrade, a lot of the features and add-ons I wanted were not available on the last version. I still have more work to do, but you will get use to it in time. - HNIC

If you are talking about adult/porn videos I'm waiting on the add-on to be made. The old add-on does not work with version 2 of this board. The guy told me to try and see if it would still work, but it didn't.

I hit him up last night and told him I'll need the new add-on, it took about 2 days last time to create it, soon I'm thinking 1-4 days.

What's up Everybody :)

I sent a PM to all the mods Monday, I sent a PM to all of the High Post Count Members Tuesday, now this PM is going out to everybody today. I was going to make 3 different PM's, but it looks like what I sent to the High post count members will work for you also.

I'm going to set the board up so I can start making money from legitimate Ad networks like the Google Ad Network, and I need to start recruiting new members who fit the profile I'm looking for.

The only way I can run Google Ads is to get the Hard Core porn off the Main Board. I'll also have to get rid of the x-rated signatures and the x rated avatars.

The reason I'm doing this is I'm tired of being broke and I'm tired of not being able to expand my business. I made right over $2000 last month. That is not enough to pay my monthly bills. I was cool with the Secret Society, Fight Club, we have our own culture talk as long as I could pay my bills.

Message boards like Reddit, and a few others have the same content we do, they just have all of the hard core porn stuff in a different forum, we can do the same thing. Make the hard core porn stuff searchable, but it won't be visible to the Google adsense crawlers.

All of the music and TV shit will still be for members only and will remain hidden.

What I'm looking for from you is suggestions on how we can make this happen.

@Camille suggest we start over from scratch.
Blackgirl Online (the current main board) will become Blackgirl Online X (for example)
and the new board will become The Main Board (We'll come up with a name later). We can then start fresh. We will start posting to the new Main Board. All of the threads that don't violate the new standards can be moved back to the new Main Board.

The old board will still be available, but for a short period of time maybe 6 months I'm going to make it read only. That will force people to use the new Main Board. I'll probably let high post count member like Slam, Mask etc still have the ability to update their threads.

Thread like this will be allowed on the Main Board
https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/caitlyn-anganile-mwenifumbo-light-skin-pyt.925418/
https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/tati-rodriguezx-dat-breh-sammyjax-gonna-lose-his-mind.1063287/

Some threads are almost Main Board ready and can be cleaned up and moved to the main board.
In some cases we may want to have a clean version and an everything goes version of the same thread.

This is just a basic summary of the plan.

All I want is a real ad revenue source and the ability to advertise the board on platforms like: Facebook, Google Adwords and Bing. This gives me a steady supply of targeted members, and potential customers for folks who want to advertise with me.

**** There is no need to get rid of your signatures at this time, I can handle that in the admin section, if your avatar is showing exposed tits, pussy, ass, people fucking, be on the lookout for a new avatar. ****

Thanks - HNIC :dunno:

Whatever you do I will support and encourage others to do so. I'm a firm believer in those who create and risk should be paid if the product they produce is of value. I value the BGOL community. Do what you have to do. Peace

I'm only viewing the mobile version at the moment but is there a way to get the page numbers at the top and also is there a way to get the breadcrumbs to show the full path instead of just going "back"

Breadcrumbs used to be like:
Home>BGOL Main Board>"this thread"

Now you only see a back button on the top and bottom of a thread.

Just wondering if that's just a setting

Bro I love you, but I can't attack those items yet. I just opened the board so everyone can use the thing while I work behind the scene.
Here is a quick answer on pagination

I'll check on the breadcrumbs later, I'm super busy today

I like how your messages are scrolling across the top. That's convenient.

As a loooong time user and paying member I will just say this. @HNIC keep doing whatever you can to keep the board running, and up to date with the best tech you can afford. As someone above mentioned I don’t come here for porn anymore. I come for the information, knowledge and weird brotherhood that exist here. Love or hate it’s always entertaining. This is my first stop for the latest news in the world and I appreciate getting it from an adult black perspective. So just keep up the good work and I’ll keep renewing.

Another minor thing

On the alerts, can barely see the highlight of new messages. It's a very faint blue color. Barely visible.

But put that on the back burner for later, if you can

So now when do the board goes mainsteam and the porn is moved? Have a decision been made about what to call the forum where things are still done the BGOL way? In fact is somehow a dark them is made possible in the future let us vets have it in our own section. A dark theme will set us apart from the mainsteam board.

There is no dark option. We will have to work on that once we get the seach installed, adult video plugin installed, my payment systems installed, the portal installed, user permissions fixed etc.

I really want to do it, I really do :dunno:

Now that iPhone has the dark mode option I'm sure one will be coming soon. Just got to keep an eye out for it. In the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal.

The porn won't really be moved. You just come to the forum right here and you are good

Right now it will still be named Blackgirl Online

Just so we all understand the lingo. The Board includes all the forums, it is the entire entity. Forums are their own specialty groups like Sports, Politics, Blackgirl Online. The Blackgirl Online forum will still be here, no matter what position it occupies on the board, the address/URL will not change.

You may come here one day and I have to hide it, but the address/url will still get you there.

I hope to have a dark alternative in the near future, but members will be able to choose between light and dark.

I just clicked the poll in this poll thread to see who the monsters are who actually think the standard American work week should be longer and I was pleasantly surprised to see how much better viewing polls is on this new version!

Mixd what's up brother :)

My new alerts and new PM's are bright red, that tells me to check my PM's and Alerts. Are you sure your Alerts are blue?

The little indicator is red, just when you drop down the list, highlighted is a faint blue barely visible color. It's in the theming and not important. But same on mobile and desktop. Just didn't know if it was easy option to adjust on your side or what.

On mobile need an option so BGOL logo isn’t stationary on the header
I have a Samsung S9 and the logo is in the upper left hand side, and PM's alerts and search follow. I don't understand where the logo should go. I'm probably not understanding what you are saying. :confused:

This theme kind of is what it is. The only solution will probably be a new Theme.

Think he means the entire blue header, not just the 'logo'

Its always there as you scroll. I guess it just takes up more real estate.
