StevieJR Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 chatroom in TLL is working but Chatroom in TF is not working ..don't know why to have menu chat in TF , if it is not working ???Well.. i got idea about TF.. Why u don't made something called THEME for user choosing by itself ??? Like Gmail got Theme for user to setup their own background design by themself ????? TLL chat room is very popular (so I'm told) i've always wondered why TF chat has never taken off.....Maybe it's because people are put off using the rooms in a similar way to the forums. I always found them friendly when i first joined and made some good friends there. Maybe an 'invite to chat' option to send to other members, more mods in chat rooms or naked cam chat night would help boost the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiaranM Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 naked cam chat night would help boost the numbers well u getting naked on cam would be one way of f**king emptying the chat rooms !! :roll: :roll: maybe that explains why they r so quiet !!!

admin Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Uhmmm . . . not a big fan of the letting users "customize" their profiles too much. Many people specifically point to that as one of the failures of MySpace (not that they're bankrupt but they fell way behind once smaller Facebook). Same thing with Hi5 and the other social media sites. Nobody wants to load 7GB of songs and videos just to look at your profile. And I will stab anyone in the heart if they have more than one song set to load on their profile page. WTF is that? Do you ever visit your own profile page? How is that not f*cking annoying? I do think it could be a really good thing for a dating site though. If I come to your profile page and the violently repulsive color scheme and thousands of blinking widgets cause me to vomit . . . yeah, we're probably not a match. As far as chat . . . don't know why either. Maybe others remember differently but I don't think it's ever been popular. So that has nothing to do with the redesign or anything else :-) Rob and I are discussing it and if it does disappear one day that's because of me. First off, if people aren't using it why spend time and effort keeping it up and running? I know it doesn't sound hard but it does crash quite a bit and has to be manually restarted. So basically we find out when one of the three people using it start making a stink in the forums about chat being down. Second, most of the off the shelf solutions suck. Google, Facebook, and some others have some really slick web based chat clients but the rest seem like hacks in comparison. Even the one on TLL is painful. I've tried to use that software on other sites and it's like a 37 step process just to get a bare bones installation up and running. And then it runs like a sick dog. Even if it's an hour here and there or a few hours a month supporting it . . . I'm sort of the thinking that I would rather put that into something people will actually use and enjoy. Of course, if I get some die-hard opposition here I'm open to reconsidering but at the moment chat seems like a drain. chatroom in TLL is working but Chatroom in TF is not working ..don't know why to have menu chat in TF , if it is not working ???Well.. i got idea about TF..

PiAnt Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm an advocate of having some simple customisation options for personal pages; background colour, font size etc, however, I don't think that's the purpose of the site at all. Take Hi5 for instance; once you've done the theme, linked the videos and music, added anyone and everyone, thrown glitter everywhere and thanks for the add piccies, what's the point in going back? Although there are a fair few people, no doubt, who are here simply to look for a date, gf or bf, the core of the site is the forum; even if you don't use it, it's what the site revolves around. It's not promoted nearly enough, even to the captive audience the site has already. Best idea recently was the piccy caption contest, even though it was mostly the usual suspects who contributed, it certainly generated some interest. More should be considered in this area. The premium upgrade's not a huge expense when you consider the likelihood is that there's only a remote chance any winner would have upgraded anyway, and they might well pay to remain premium if there's something worthwile in it. Next would be the Journals. Again, most seem to be submitted by the core members, but this is an area which should also be more vigorously promoted. It's also an area where, perhaps, a few more personalisation options wouldn't go amiss. It might be worth considering a best of the month prize or similar on the same lines as an upgrade? Themed journal comps or similar might be worth considering. I can understand the point of the picture rating thingy, but, really, when was the last time anybody actually rated anyone? This could be changed to something still showing profile pics but, perhaps, members online now or something? Just thinking aloud. Events should be huge. Not promoted enough and shoved down the side looking like google ads. There should be an admin rep at every event you can get to to take pics and record the fun. There should be big links to recent events, which should be used to promote the extra-site social activities. We're real, local people you can actually meet and befriend. Chatrooms really, really need sorting out. They also need renaming. Love room AND sexy room? 4 is too many. New Friends maybe (get to know a few people come on don't be shy), constantly moderated of course (even at set times if no one's free), Regular's Hangout maybe and a Firting Room possibly? Voting is a good idea, maybe that could be expanded to rate the profile or similar or rate the piccy album? With a list of best rated on the front? No profile customaisations means they all look alike so it's only the member which makes the difference. Promotion is woeful. You're not hitting even the people whose email details you already have. All members should receive notification of any upcoming events a week in advance. Ditto for any Premium Upgrade competitions etc and lists of recent winners and prizes or highlights of the last month listing anything interesting or of note. All members who haven't been on the site for more than, let's say, 6 months, should be emailed with a "You havet been on for a while! We're missing you! Check out the new games activities and members etc..." kind of email. How many joined and forgot? Having said all that of course, it depends on what you're looking to get out of it and how much time and effort you want to put into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said all that of course, it depends on what you're looking to get out of it and how much time and effort you want to put into it. Damn, I knew there was a reason I thought we needed you back . . . Actually, most of your thoughts are dead on with stuff Rob and I have been discussing and planning. So much so that I am going to change my email account password. 1. Journals and Forums: We're hoping to roll out something that will really be a big change for TF and will promote people getting familiar with these areas of the site. 2. We're going to do a lot more promotion of events. We're going to try to have "big" events as often as possible (logistics permitting) and promote not just to the TF community but outside in offline venues to get more new faces coming in the door. 3. Promotion is woeful. It sucks. It's horrible. Not anybody's fault really but it is. You know we didn't even have an automated Welcome email until a few weeks ago? We had to send those out manually. It's one of those things that doesn't sound like a big deal but get 2 or 3 days behind and there's a quarter to half of your day right there. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. The email all members function has been broken for awhile. Not that people were using it. I don't think I've ever received an email from TF that wasn't a journal, PM, etc notification. We're not looking to spam people and we'll always respect people's privacy but we do want to utilize that kind of communication channel more. Look for more contests and other stuff along these lines. The real limiting factor here will be until we can queue up stuff and get it automated. Once we get a nice automated promotion system in place we can have all kinds of fun. I agree and disagree on specific things here and there that you mentioned but I think you're pretty much on the mark with a lot of this and this is our aim in the coming weeks/months.

Admin_2 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ant has been known to hack into accounts in the past...I'm changing my password as well! Spot on that forums, journals, and parties deserve more promotion. This will come to the surface more by mid year...we're just looking at how to approach it the right way. Then we'll test, test and test...all the while looking for as much real feedback as possible. TF parties are really something that is unique to the site. The atmosphere is usually fairly welcoming for newbies, even if you have to come in as a ninja and sit in a dark corner spying on everyone. Off to change all passwords now...especially all my porn site pwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
