Panflute Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Would it be an idea to add a donation button to the top of the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 6 minutes ago, Cannabis said: I know that wasn't a dig but the staff that don't seem active are usually working their socks off behind the scenes. Rab has invested his own money into various platforms in order to improve our rating on Google and without him this place wouldn't even exist as he did all the technical stuff to get it set up. Along with him you have Harvey who again may not be as active as some of us but works tirelessly behind the scenes to make things tick. The only member of staff that you could point the finger at is Phil. His obsession with being a Karl Pilkington cabaret act has meant that he rarely visits anymore which is a shame. +1. Exactly my sentiments. Ah, yes fair enough mate. I do not know what is going on behind the scenes. And yeah its far from a dig because I do think you're all doing an excellent job.

Lazy fucks like myself hadn't even seen that thread until now. A donation button would also increase the number of drunk donations on Saturday night when people crawl back from the pub and browse here before they go to bed.

I wanted the ads to take over from donations although the site doesn't get enough traffic/hits/clicks at the moment for the Ads to do anything significant towards the running costs. It has been averaging between 25-75p per day. We have the odd good day where it goes over £1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably split evenly in half with porn sites, especially during those teenage years and a couple of months ago. I agree. It's great that this forum has been set up so at least it hasn't all just disappeared completely, but it's still sad that TFF is no longer. It's a shame that it turned out how it did. I have great memories of some top discussions on there, as well as some pretty bad ones. Onwards and upwards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Fairly sure Jim used to pay £100 per month for hosting alone. No idea what Bronco paid and Chazz probably payed £10 for the year with how poorly it was performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the members who make the forum and not the forum who make the members at the end of the day. Everyone who were still active on there are active on here now, so that's all that matters really. I haven't been as active as I can be myself, but you've all done a good job on here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just see this place as a continuation now. Given how everybody cringed at 'Facebook moments' from a couple of years back it's probably best that we don't see what we used to post years gone by.

DeadLinesman Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I feel I must apologise for having gained a promotion, having shite internet access as I'm not at home due to renovations and having a batshit crazy pregnant wife. I'll make sure I'm modding when the 4 year old is crying because I've chosen to browse the site and keep tabs on things instead of reading her a bedtime story. That ok with you Brian?

Its incredible how one person can kill a forum that's been around for 10 years. All good things must come to an end I guess. The community is still alive on here now, its a new beginning and has an experienced owner. You've all been doing an excellent job in running this place. My only complaint is that the aside from you 2 and Tsubasa the staff doesn't seem to be that active. I can understand that they all have lives but its always good to have an active group when a forum is in its beginnings. Do you feel I don't fulfil your needs Brian as moderator, would an angry sodimitic daisy chain threesome with Teso address these concerns? Maybe some dinner and dancing beforehand? We're all lovers here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel that with a new forum there needs to be more staff online, but again that's not too take away from everyones personal lives as we are all busy and I know well that you are all working hard off the scenes.

I think you are getting them mixed up mate. If you look at the members who have posted the most, I believe the top 3 are admin, and the group as a whole are all in the top 10.

Eco Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 See. That's a pretty active admin group I'd say. Right behind Cure are Batard, Deadline, Rab, and Tsubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
