    Both. Obviously I want to make money with it, but it is just a hobby that I enjoy for the most part.

    Just kidding.

    But seriously, if you win you'd have to give me your address.
    In lieu of any prizes, just remove C4F from moderator duties indefinitely. I think you'd get 1,000,000 active members by Monday if that were the prize.

    This will also give more incentive to start a thread that might generate good discussion. There will be criteria for your thread to actually get you an entry (number of responses, etc).
    Until he forgets what site is what while in a suicidally drunk mood and posts something over-the-top ghey on JJ's, gets banned or suspended and comes back here to pass the time before TEH ANS-HOLE accepts his apology blowjob. In other words, until April 5th.

    snotbubbles will be back. That dude is such a ***, he has nothing better to do with his drunk time than a. post gay shit on here about fucking sheep or b. talking about killing himself

    Change the name of the forum weekly to IHate[whatever is trending in the news].com.

    There's bound to be a couple of relevant threads, and your weekly site traffic will surge. This past month it would have been IHateTravonMartin.com. A few weeks ago it could have been IHateSandraFluke.com.

    Obviously, the buttbuddies of loserincredible will be the only winner. It is just another bullshit way for them friends to be cool together.

    God, I wish I was cool.

    Lol, implying Justin has friends. Or that any of us are cool.

    Justin, any plans in the pipeline to update the UI a little bit? Or are you pretty content with the current layout?
  • wkfan
    Justin, to increase membership, you need to increase the amount of threads and discussion on here. To that end, I think that you and another appointed deputy (maybe an employee of yours) should start as many threads as possible each day so that people can comment on them. You could start threads about local sports teams with links to the local sububan papers.

    If that doesn't work, you probably need to update your software and hardware. I understand that this is costly, so charge all of the new members a token amount while 'grandfathering' those of us who have been on for awhile. After all, you can always go back to a free site if this does not work.

    I'm sure if you employee either of those tactics, or better yet, both of them, membership will skyrocket!

    This is a good idea! One moment...

    Yep, working on that at the moment. Still waiting for a design for a new header from my friend but the entire site will be getting a re-design. A more modern, simplistic design.

    Cool.
  • justincredible
    It will still look a lot like the current forum, just updated. I didn't want to make any drastic changes that would get people in a hissy.

    Will this increase the amount of time the site goes down? It's pretty simple right now.

    What is it with the site going down btw, same reoccurring issue? Sunday morning must be the ender code effin everything.

    The design has nothing to do with the site being down. And no, the current design (of the forums) is not modern or simplistic.

    OhioChatter: Starting in April, the site will only be up for one hour a day. The first person to post during each day's hour of operation gets 100 vCash.

    PS: vBookie also will be rendered inoperable, so that vCash is worthless.

    The server isn't configured quite right. I'm not a server guy so I am trying to trouble shoot it as the shit happens. What was happening is the disc would fill up to close to 100% and then mysql would stop working and the site goes down. I'm working on getting the server to not fill up like it was.
