Helpful Suggestions for BF.

[Glowy]

This isn't official but I figured with everyone *****in about the new skins what valid suggestions do you think would help make this forums a better place. Might help max out a bit.



My suggestion is putting some kind of border that seperate the sticky's from regular thread.

 

[Lizardbreath]

/agreed.....

Why does anyone ***** about skins? Okay, if you don't like the skin, deal with it. Skins are always a personal preference, not a right. Deal with it.

The skin has bugs i.e. poll doesn't work but bugs can always be worked out. BF has gone through many skins and NEVER once has one been accepted.

Here's what I think could help:

a) Get new content. It's a Blizzard Forum, indeed, but out of four games three are nearly dead. You will want more content, seriously. Get updated on what popular games are out there, and get dedicated people to do research and build a fine forum with stickies and stuff for it. Of course, there's no more dedicated people since they've all been banned or are afraid of being banned. Which leads to the second point:

b) Despite all you may think, banning people for the pettiest things is not a good strategy. You're getting rid of mostly dedicated members (even if the reason to ban them is valid), which also have friends here, and those friends regret what is done. I understand you may not like people disagreeing with you, but if you're gonna censor people at least use the split/delete function, instead of being just lazy and banning people. It's bad for the forum's moral.

c) Advertise the forums, badly. Hardly new members coming in (and if someone mentions we have 235356236 guests online, I'll shoot you), so it means people just can't find this site. I would say you should put us back into gamesites200.com, even if that site's biased. As well as trying out advertising bots in Battle.Net, and putting BF in all StarCraft sites indexes you can find out about.

d) This skin. It isn't bad, I actually like it, but it seems to have been done by someone on a 800 x 600 screen. Here, I'll post a screenshot of how much useless space I have:

http://xs221.xs.to/xs221/07446/bfskin.JPG

Plus, the poll is not working, and that bar is just ridiculous. Do move the User CP - Members - Calendar etc links in the top part of the main window to the bar. Makes more sense. And what the hell is that Policies link still doing there? Silly ideas from Eric shouldn't be used.

Anyway, this is what I can remember at the moment.

 

[EEX_ca_aok]

I would move the bar to the top and ditch the poll, or place it somewhere else.

As for the useless space issue... I can tell you that with a 1680x1050 resolution 2/3rds of my screen is useless space... the forum needs to be set to a variable width, or at least bump it up to 1024... most people use 1024x768 or higher these days.

 

[Amantis]

What does this page look like on a 800x600 screen? I'm using 1024 and I'm seeing exactly what Tronga's seeing - the big black bit under the advert.

Obviously change cannot happen overnight, but at the rate at which they're happening...nah.

Downloads Section: A section containing all the useful things for downloading that have ever been posted on Battleforums. (Ex. Various Diablo/Starcraft hacks)

Staff: Get more people on the Staff who are able to help Battleforums and are willing to spend their time on it.

Battleforums Radio: I still think that this would've been a cool idea. >.>

Best thing for battleforums is to ban LB.

Lizardbreath really IS the current largest problem with BF. Several members who were a lot better members than him have been banned, and he's even provided more reasons to get banned than they did.

 

[Lizardbreath]

You guys are so pathetic. You say I am the worst thing on BF yet I am not the one making the 897432874328904328904th thread about your "suggestions" and "WHAT I THINK ABOUT BF" all with the same thing that you've said over and over and over and OVER again.

The main problem with BF is that our members think they should be able to walk over the administration and do whatever the **** they want to even if it's bad for the site in general. Those members will eventually be weened out (hopefully) and then we can move on to things that matter.

These "Dedicated" members that you all talk about like they are the best things that happened to BF, yet they have been banned multiple times, have a stick up their ass, and still can't manage to follow the rules. So maybe you should change it from "dedicated" members, to "worst members on this site." There is a large difference between constructive criticism and being a complete ******* and not even TRYING to help anything, just complain complain with a side of complaining.

Yeah, you don't do that by starting threads, you do that on every single post you do, and even though everyone says you're wrong, you're the one that has to be right, isn't it? Seriously, Lizardbreath, do grow up. And do not even respond at me in such immature ways you've always been responding. Do me a favour, and think it trough:

not even TRYING to help anything

"LMAO"

Let's see who's the dilusional one here.
Your idea:
1) Everything should be done my way even though I haven't contributed anything to this site since being an admin besides *****ing and not pay for a thing.

Or my idea
1) Move the site forward
2) Give constructive criticism (Not just LOL MAX U R A ****UP LOL)
3) Agreeing that if somebody pays for a forum they should be able to do whatever they want with it, since they own it and all.

I will give you the same anology that I gave clearcast.

Suppose you buy a car....and then your neighbor tells you that you HAVE to do something to it because he wants you to.

Do you follow the neighbors advice?
or do you follow your own?

I think it's pretty clear here who's being the more LOGICAL one here. Listening to a group of people who couldn't get ANYTHING done and drove their own website to the ground, or a fresh/new/unbiased admin who's going to work on extending the content.

plz just plz dont be mean anymore guys ok then u will get banned and that is not good

I see LizardBreath still hasn't changed a bit.

Pointless arguments, as well as flawed since you're so biased on this. You're not even being reasonable. I mean, come on, you're saying I'm not even trying to help when that's so not true. And I'm pretty sure I got people agreeing on this >>

On the other hand, all you're doing is hunting down people and giving the same bull**** over and over again, as if the fact you repeat something that just doesn't make sense will make it somehow true.

You should be a priest.

Seriously mate, whatever suits you. Good to see this is what BF is down to. I reckon it's because I was pessimistic I was banned, or so Max said in Staff, but that isn't being pessimistic. This is.

So you think it makes sense to have somebody tell you what to do with your stuff......
