This is a good point.... if memory serves me right
I think that’s why the backup board was originally created ...
Like I suggested a long time ago, if you want to make money you will have to re brand BGOL. Regulate the trolls more aggressively. Can't have a "talk shit and post pics" attitude. More Disney and less rated R. This place will have to reach a wider audience with less hostility from the members.
This will effectively change the board's culture and atmosphere, but it is what it is. Get a twitter and instagram presence. Lots of funny quotables and gif masters floating around here, if we created a funny gif or meme based on politics or pop culture and blasted it on social media, we can go viral. This place also has a LOT of data. Many in depth reviews on products and services from a black perspective. Car reviews, tech reviews, vacation reviews, movie reviews, restaurant reviews from across the country... how about all the educational, employment or investment advice from an "urban" point of view? That alone has a lot of value.
There's money to be made around here but HNIC wasn't trying to hear it back in the day so those suggestions fell flat.

What's up fonzerrillii
If you are talking about the board that is currently named Blackgirl Online it can keep the exact same name. If members want to change it no problem. The Barbershop and The Basement are good names. Once things shake out we will run a poll and what name wins will be the name.
Take Care - HNIC
Yeah BGOL has to remain BGOL...
I’m talking about the other board... we could also merge the other board with the new board. I do see the need for having separate sex forums.. if the other board is going to end up like classic BGOL and off the grid...
But I do see how it’s going to be tough to drive traffic to a board that’s going to be Ad supported. Isn’t this kind of what you intended with the grownfolks board and that place is a ghost town. You might want to think about adding tiered membership options..
Like you have regular membership that has access to the main board and certain other boards but if you want access to premium content Aka the uncensored BGOL board, the sex forums, the entertainment threads... or game threads that contain exclusive shit.. then you pay a little extra.
You will get push back from a lot of folks ... but in the end folks are going to pay. It’s too much good shit downstairs.
But some members will be cool with just having accessed to regular BGOL.
That way you will still have new blood coming to the board to talk shit... but for the members that like seeing naked bitches and free downloads.. they can pay to access it.
You can call it BGOL+ and make it a monthly membership that a member can opt into and out... instead of the Patreon... you use that. 7 dollars a month.
fonzerrillii I can't figure out what you are saying Blackgirl Online is the name of the forum that gets most of the traffic. The new forum has not been named yet.
When you say merge the other boards, are you talking Asingirl Online, Whitegirl Online, Latinagirl Online?
The backup board was created back in the early 2000s, when the main board would crash, the other boards were still intact, so we created the backup board so people had somewhere to go until we got the main board back up, in time it became a place for all porn.
The grownfolks board never worked because there was no urgency, we are at a point now where we either make it work or it's over. That's urgency.
I'll get the rest of you points in a few minutes.

I was typing this while in a Sonic Drive through.. but yeah I mean't Asiangirl, whitegirl, and latingirl.
And thanks for explaining the backup board. I always thought it was created when you were trying to weed off the craziness that was going on back in 2000.. when the mainboard was filled with Trolls and other nonsense.
I like this idea... The nice side and the dark sideGood Morning @Camille
I'm going to take elements of what you and I have said, look it over and tell me what you think.
1. We create the new forum, it will be visible to everyone.
2. We make what is now the Main Board visible to donors only. Let them post and reply like they always do with no restriction.
3. Move or Copy all non porn threads to the new clean forum. On a daily basis we will move all non porn content to the new board. (I have no problem copying threads, we will only be depending on the main forum for a few months).
3A. Setup a move team of 3-4 people who will tag non porn threads that can be moved to the main board.
4. After we get 20-30 pages deep start the Ad program.
Some High post count members like @playahaitian @Lexx Diamond may want to handle their own moves since they are down to help us make this happen. We can work with that.
@tallblacknyc what do you think, don't go easy.
... Juss let me know when ya put my suck and fuck thread and big girl head thread in the dark side of the moon so I can keep it updated there... Maybe bring a lesbo thread there to.... Oh yeah when do I have to get rid of my avatar?
Good Morning @Camille

This works, the only thing is I would move non porn threads and not copy them. Copying won't force current members to use the new forum, divides replies since the discussion would be ongoing in two sections and takes up server space. We need old heads and new members to participate to make this successful, otherwise everyone can hide out on the old forum and snubb the new folks.
If we just clean and move the non porn threads as they are replied to, then we can keep the new board active. I'd like to think this would also make some of the old heads happy that complain about all the non porn topics on the main board. They will finally have a all adult forum, no current events.
It will be at least a week on the avatar, I'll let you know. All your threads should remain in the same place according to this plan. I still need feedback from a few more folks before it becomes the official plan.I like this idea... The nice side and the dark side
HNIC
For future reference server space is a non issue at this time.
OK I'm cool with a straight move of the threads, the only reason I ever say copy a thread is I've lived in this world where everything is a cluster fuck for 20 years, but other disciplined boards move threads all the time.
I guess I'll hit you up with the next set of issues and a soft flow chart and we will go from there.
Thanks Sis

Reads like a good plan.
my we got pussy thread is mainly a girl only porn threadI like this idea... The nice side and the dark side
I think this is a great idea. And you deserve to get the bread you should be getting. Plus I barely come here for the porn these days. It's just like a side serving. The information and barbershop/playground style camaraderie is what's really good.
Thanks Pack Rat, we have some good folksYou got some smart folks here with some good ideas...you know me, I'm down with whatever you gotta do.

What's up Flawless
The Main forum is called Blackgirl Online and that's it to the best of my knowledge.
fonzerrillii and a few others want to change it and I agree, I'm going to let the members vote on a few names, "The Barbershop" and "The Basement" are the suggested names so far. I like the barbershop
I'll search the website and see if Blackgirl Online is anywhere else, then make a change.
Thanks - HNIC :
Well said, bruh!!
Now that I know what it is.. I second this motion!!
You aint kiddin, bruh... If a person cant find anything on this site, they aint looking!!!
I'm good HellBoy, I hate hitting up the same folks. I'm hoping I can get some folks in here who will support the people who advertise with me. We'll know soon.

This board failed when HNIC let members run women off the board and Vet members run amuck. The boards was at its highest growth potential when SOL was in its beginning stages. You had new faces, joining the board everyday, pornstars, etc. HNIC allowed those who weren't willing to support the board financially to dictate the direction of the board. HNIC you gotta looking at the members to accomplish what you want to achieve, because the support aint there.
Letting these assholes run the women off the board was the biggest mistake I ever made. There was no support for controlling the situation, everyone was hell bent on making every woman prove she was a female. I may not ever get the chance again, but if I do things will be different.
Everything else in your rant is up for debate.
HNIC
just wanted to know. Will this open the board back up for tapatalk?
Don't know what exactly you are thinking is debatable, but alot of the vets were against donating, most of those same vets were against women joining the board.
Glad you see it for what it was. it was not just them having to prove they were females, they were attacked. Yes that time has passed. There was support but they were out numbered, You got caught up in the whole this is a barber shop argument. Anyway, whats done is done.
As for the growth, the "Roll call" thread on SOL had at least 1 new member a day. Pornstars joining and posting.
Anyway.
I would suggest you study some of the social media sites and kinda pull ideas from them.
Not going to happen, they screwed me around one time, can't let them do it twice.
HNIC
You don't know me, your making assumptions that are wrong. I'm not going to argue with you. Just think what you want to think. I'm sitting here in the now, I have a mission and I'm going to work that mission.
HNIC
I'm not assuming anything, I was here watching everything and I'm not trying to argue anything. Good luck.
that's cool. I'm not sure what the beef was about and why it's so personal. But wanted to say that I really did enjoyed using tapatalk with BGOL. Just letting it be known.
They made a policy based on pressure from the apple/itunes store not to allow forums with adult content to use their app. That policy had us screwed up for a long time.
When the finally were willing to work with us, we had moved on to the current responsive layout which seems to work fine. Some members want to go back to tapatalk, but I felt screwed so I never went back.
