Hey, I've not read much on these forums as I don't get into these kind of forums, but I have a VF account and FB (ofcourse) and ofcourse this profile of GG. I tend to enjoy being on VF more only because the "search" they have. GG is far too basic. I live in the UK and most users on this site is US. So in order for me to search ONLY UK people, i'd have to pay. I've bought premium before, a month for £2. It's cheap sure, but after 2 days of using the search and messaging people, I no longer needed the premium. Least on VF, you can search by age restriction, country, county, closest to postcode etc. (But premium has more search features) but I think the country search part should definately be included. Also hardly any news gets posted on this site. Theres like 3 news sections so far on the home page if i remember correctly. This site runs ALOT like VF, if I really thought about it, i'd say VF was up along time before GG, so i'd say GG runs off alot of features as VF does. But i'm not complaining, I thought GG was run off owner of VF personally lol. But as I said above, i'm not bothered that it's quite the same. Just thought i'd mention it. On the topic of premiums, well...I've not looked at premium list of features, so don't blow at me I'm just giving my view and then leaving it, but thought maybe my bit of voice may help in a way. Features i'd expect with premium... - upload upto 50 pictures per album, 5 albums. (Image max size of 1024x768) currently its 50 photos but only 1 album - Advanced Search currently included. Searches by... Sex: Sexuality: Ethnicity: Religion: Marital Status: City: State/Province: Country: Keywords: Sort Results By: Only return members between the ages of and Only return members with pictures. Only return members currently online. - Premium profile templates (468x60) - Used for signatures? - Premium Forum Chat we do currently have a premium only forum which is invisable to non premium users - Premium Chat Room this we dont have, but it is very likely the chatroom will be going with the re-vamp - Premium GG downloadable backgrounds (720p res) - Premium Discounts For Extended Premium Users. (Must purchase during last 7 days of premium to get discount) --- Weekly - 0% --- 1 month - 0% --- 3 months - 5% --- 6 months - 10% --- 1 year - 15% --- Lifetime - 20% we dont currently offer lifetime premium Features could be included into the site... - Reputation Level (Instead of rating) - 'plus' and 'negative' - If 'negative', reason must be given. ratings will be going with the re-vamp and be replaced by something else (oooh shiney new stuff ) - Premium Username Suffix - "VIP" "GGVIP" - External Forums (IPB or vBulletin) - Much better look. Forums which look more attractive, tend to be more active as people want to go onto it. - User groups (Members, VIP, Moderators, Admins, Editors, etc) we currently have groups which can be used by anyone, but only created by premium users. Find them under discuss - GG Store (cafepress.com) - Events some of the gys do try to organise an annual meet however Manchester is the normal meeting place and some users obv cant get there due to expenses that would involve. --- Tshirt designs i dont know what is happenening with that anymore but there s a thread created by Daydreamer (old webmistress) here http://gonegothic.com/topic.php?id=8500&page=1 --- Banner designs --- Background designs --- Advertisment banner designs --- Online Gaming event Christov organised a MW2 tournament which took place in August and many people seemed to want tournaments so it will probobly happen again. - New premium prices (Plus with people using discount would be worth it) --- Weekly - £1.00 --- 1 month - £2.50 --- 3 months - £7.00 --- 6 months - £12.00 --- 12 months - £20.00 --- Lifetime - £45.00 - Free 24 hours of premium on every 1st registration. - Free 48 hours to users which give alot of inside feedback of GG and show their effort of helping GG improve Ah i've gone brain dead now lol. I'll think of more another time. I probs won't check this again, so if you think i'm on the right path CoolSilver, give me a message (Private) and i'll continue to give my feedback Hopefully I was some help and you appreciate it

theres some really good ideas in there, ive put in italics next to them if they are already here or its been tried before just togive you a better idea of what we do offer just now.

In concerns to the re-vamp then Keiran is one of the guys doing that so it may be worth trying to get hold of him, but ive forgotten his screen name just now lol.

has he changed it?? it wasnt always that lol

I'm liking the suggestions you posted! Some of them are sort of implemented already, some of them are to be introduced in the site update.

Really like the suggestions you made about premium accounts

Thank you very much!

I had the suggestion to make the main forum categories visible to everyone. Basically pages Board.php and Forum.php pages visible to see what is being discussed. (topic names, who made it, who last posted) Threads themselves you have to login. I thought it was silly as hell to block the MAIN FEATURE of the site from being viewed by non-members.... What is making new users sign up... the 14 year old fakes that signed up 15 mins before them?

That sounds like a good idea. I am an interesting person and meet very many people who ask to see where I write on a forum, but they are reluctant to join a site blind. So even though I advertise for the site, the inaccessibility of it prevents new members from throwing their hat into the ring. Also, probably GOOGLE can't scan a page that would lead people whom are searching for the very thing we are talking about in the forums, so we are a little bit of a cul de sac. It seems like a dead end because the information on the forums is cloaked in a way. People searching for some information, would be led here, read what they want and see some of the fine minds that round table serious shit on here, be attracted by other items of interest and lay down some stake in the finances of the site by joining. Saying Facebook has pull is ridiculous, or other sites too, we are a different kind of site, with a very special forum, that is as fun as it is enlightening.

Why are you bumping old threads, Vamp...

I like how this thread makes it look like CS was talking to himself lol.

I'm still trying to figure out when he became an all-mighty dick.

No idea~ He was always nice to me lol.

Eh, he got mouthy with me once and I put an end to it because it was highly uncalled for. Other than that, my only issue with him was his damned flirting and not getting the hint.

Elphbutt?

Nick

I liked Coolsilver.

He was good till something went.

Yeah, he kinda lost it.

I almost feel sorry for him but oh well.

I never noticed :C

Why not?
