Feedback and suggestions?

[sts_pro]

Hi guys, I glad our board is becoming more and more alive

It is my first experience of setting up a forum, so some settings needs to be tuned up For example, I just noticed that only users with 50+ post have ability to change Karma (thank/dislike) posts - fixed it now

Also, I intentionally set up the board to be pre-moderated - I am planning leave this setting ON for now.

Please, let me know what your concerns or suggestions are!

Hello guys! I just enabled new feature - "Say Thanks". Hope you will like it

[sts_pro]

Hi guys, continuing tweaking forum settings
Now your group membership depends on your Karma and not on post counts   So, please applaud posters you like and smite the ones your hate

Could you deactivate that you have to confirm every post... it makes everything really slow and annoying.
I was told that its allready a reason for some ppl to leave.

There is not much spam messages as I expected, so it is doable.  We need a moderator though, who would ensure that posted content is legit... Any volunteers?

it is possible to post pictures?
thank you

thank you

Sure, it is possible - I tested it a couple of times.

First option is to embed it with IMG tag (Insert Image button):



2nd option is to attach an image. Very nice feature here: you could attach not only a local file but a remote as well! Just paste URL in the Browse window and press Open.

Let me know if you still have issues!

Perhaps you could use a dereferrer site that strips the referral headers of this website when accessing external links.

Also, how about https logon ?

Hi Lentil, I wasn't planning to hide my site from referral headers.. Why would you recommend doing this? To avoid being tracked by site owners? I remember it was a discussion at OOC a while ago but don't remember details. Can you provide more details? Would really appreciate it!

In regards of HTTPs login - I don't feel like paying for a certificate at the moment and don't want to use self-signed one.

A site like http://anonym.to/en.html prevents URLs from this forum appearing in the server logs of ftp and http servers - it's just another layer of privacy and costs nothing.

Remove this page from Google Searches
and make the Threads only vis. for Registered Members.

Things go down way to fast 

If you post a FTP its full within secs... while only 30 ppl are registred....

This is a two way thing - we need more poster to have more finds; and more users we have it is more difficult to access FTPs...

I would suggest following in the future (this is just a raw, general idea):

Once we have a critical amount of posters we could create a special group of Uploaders, who will be going through new links, download whole FTPs and upload them to a FileSharing hosting. All other members will be posting their finds, but the links will be visible for Uploaders only. Once Uploaders download whole FTP and create a save they will post it in Public section without showing original link. But in this case Uploader should create a Full save so everyone would be happy. For example I ma not interested in NU only photos - I could go to a porn site in this case I like to have a lot of NN pictures form day to day life included in the save. 

Let's discuss this  - if we have 10-15 volunteers to become an Uploader we could start realising this idea. Suggestions?

Yeah, it´s a double edged sword..Full ftp rips on a fileshare site takes forever to download, unless you pay for a service, but potentially more users could benefit before the site vanishes. Ripping and sharing only "the good stuff" means smaller filesize, but who´s to say what the good stuff is? HC porn is widely available on the Internet, so if I want just that, there´s specialized sites for it.
I for one prefers to select for myself what I find interesting in an open dir, an ftp or other sites...thrill of the hunt, so to speak

[supernachete]

PS.: And it seems like it makes no sense to post FTP here... the sec they apear here the leeching begins so hard that the servers get unreachable... close this threads for unregisterd... or make a VIP Section.... cause this is like shooting yourself in the feet...

I completely agree, would it be possible at least to make the threads visible to registered users only?

Exactly! That's why I split my saves in there separate parts: one for NN, second for semi-hot and the last for NU. In regards of file sharing server, if we would have one team of Uploaders we would upload to one service only and it is easier to buy a Premium and enjoy I used to have premium at Uploaded.Net and it was super cool to download on fulls speed and without waiting. Now this service is not so popular and I moved to Keep2Share.

Hi
For big files mega its better and faster

My cents
These servers are not made for many users. You will overload them quickly. 1 or 2 is probably the limit. So the most important thing is probably to post saves not links .
On the other hand if ppl dont have time to save it themselfs a more private way for sharing links would be better. Something like a sample/download request list.

Hi there, I registered here a few weeks ago in order to contribute and share some of my archives gathered over the last months. I know it is quite difficult to reach new members without providing anything to download publicly, but the way it works now doesn't seem to work. When a link gets posted, the source is immediately overcrowded so that no one can benefit. As a result, just speakting for myself, people are not going to contribute by posting archived stuff. Fo me, it is actually not worth the work making archives and uploading them without having the possibility to post these archives in a (somehow) restricted users group.

Basicly it is done so that this site doesn't show up as the source. If someone clikcs on a link on this site, it will send the adress "www.sts-pro.info/forum/index.php?topic=6.300.html"for example with it. See https://codeclerks.com/PHP/163/Hide-HTTP-Referer-Header-Script

This is true! If we would have an Uploaders we would assign one IP to one Uploader. Downloading is not too bad even on my slow connection Sorting and uploading takes the most time, but if it would be at least 5 of us we could post saves reasonably often.

As a solution: We could post new links in a group visible to Uploaders only. The original post would be edited by moderator and regrets to the poster will be noted. Once poster has certain amounts of links posted it could become a VIP member who would be able to download saves from filesharing host without waiting and/or paying (not sure how to organise it yet but we could work this out)

Now the question: guys who has time and ability to take care of downloads and uploads and become an Uploader? I definitely will participate, but I cannot do it on my own

Well i think we should start with the people already uploading saves, and then see who else comes along.

This makes sense, I will PM active uploaders to discuss details soon

Hi carlito56, it was a temporary problem with the server. It is fixed now and you can upload attachments again.
In regards of file sharing serevrs I would recommend using http://keep2share.cc - it is cheap and fast.  zippyshare could be free but it is extremely slow for me
