Okay let's start with positives. I love your bots, channel, and forums. But I think an improvement to the forums would be a domain, ad removal, and possibly prior page. If you don't know what I mean, I mean before you come to the forums there is a cool triviahost image with "Forums" and "Vote". Then it's easy from there. I think we need to get a donation tab going, becaues I was looking into ad removal and its relatively pricey with the activity on these forums. It is... "...Our ad-free service is a monthly service offered at $7.00 per 50,000 pageviews per month. If you have not read full details about our ad-free plan, we encourage you to read all the details (takes about 3 minutes to read)...". 7 dollars could be killer. So those are all my ideas for now, so give some feedback.

1. Thanks! 2. A "prior" page makes the loading longer. 3. Paying for having no ads are pointless, I don't even look at the ads, nor does it distract your attention. 4. This is fine. Having a domain means more work, more errors. The forums are perfected

Good ideas overall, though. The critical aspect is the money. Domains and ad-removal, like you pointed out, can be costly. Also, I'm not sure we really have a large enough base population to really get much in the way of donations. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try, I suppose. Finally, I would just like to point out that I've got a nifty little Firefox add-on that eliminates 99% of ads, so I guess I'm in the dark on how those affect the site.

Oooh that Firefox thing seems nice. Also maybe a strategy forum, I don't know how many gamers are on here, but that would be cool if we had enough to justify it. Maybe a downloads section? O.o

I really don't have a problem paying for Ad free if it bothers people. It just didn't seem like that big of a deal, and I haven't had any complaints. I'm not the most artistic person, so i'm sure the board design / layout could be much improved. I'm open to anything that makes the users here happy. I have thought about adding downloads but i'm not sure what we would put there. Once again, if you guys want it we can look into adding it.
I'm also open to changing around the catagories and we've always added boards if enough people wanted us to (like the Gallery which we recently added). I'm open to any/all ideas.

Sorry I'm obsessive with boards, websites, colors and design. Try to ignore it >.<

Hey, if you want to design some stuff. Make up some samples and let us know.

You mean layouts for forums? Or like imaging?

Hey, maybe i could put some of my completed files in the download section if you guys decided to add a section. I remember putting in some examples on some posts. the www.triviahost.tk thing, to my knowledge, was created ty a guy who goes by something like chubbz[ffh] or something, i don't know the [] part, but he created it as a means of being able to type in a less lengthy website. New pictures does seem cool in a sense. Maybe i could come up with some stuff. Oh, and chal, create like 3 new skins for each season!!! eh?

So like a Prone's download section? What do you guys think?
And I think I might have the snow that I used last year to decorate the site for Christmas. Of course G kept bugging me to take it down after Christmas.

Yeah, a prone's download section. I like it. Sounds pretty neat. It will only help my ability at coding. I'm working on a program, not in any way complete, that acts like a database that allows you to manage a virtual bank account, send messages to other users, and stuff like that. It also uses user types, so a user account is different from an admin account. I don't know the approach I'll take on it, but i pulled up 13k of source code the first day i was using it, but it won't enter some function calls, because i think i wrote the while loops for the file stream operations wrong. Oh well.
Hey, I'll put that famous "criss-cross loop" of mine on the site too. Remember the example in "Prone's wacky programs"?
Edit: In fact, why don't you give me my own section where there is more than just a downloads section so we can talk about programming and the like?

But anyways I don't care one way or the other so if you get a download section here it's fine. I won't make any trouble if you do. Just so long as it isn't the replacement for the Irish thread that's under contention by myself, greeny and Tyrant. Vote now!
