October 2020 Site Refresh

[immamac 42865]

In the spirit of the upcoming theme change as well as the mobile app I've put in some organizational changes to the board that will hopefully make it more conducive to users.

Do we have any other items that we want to make 2020 suck less?

[crash_davis 23113]

i only visit forums linked on the top row (football, Basketball Baseball, other sports, etc). in my mind, other forums don't exist. traffic to the other forums is going to lack if people need to click a few licks to get there.

[immamac 42865]

you should use the fluid view, it would be pretty lifechanging

[crash_davis 23113]

Maybe it's just how I surf this site.

When I open a thread, I read it. Upon finishing, if I want to stay in the same forum, I click Go to Topic Listing at the bottom of the page. If I want to visit another forum, I click on one of the forums linked at the top of the page or at the bottom of the page. If a forum is not linked on that banner or closing forums section, I normally do not visit those forums. For example, I usually don't ever visit Pee in Butt because it's not linked. I'm lazy like that. I imagine there are many other idiots just like me.

Now I'll probably only sometimes visit 6th Street forum because I'm too lazy to click a few links to get there when I'm already in a thread.

You could just click the ... between travel and daily texan and that takes you to IPIHB fun easter egg.

Seriously click the one button up top to switch to fluid. It will always just be a list of latest threads even on the home page. Just filter forums you don't want out or add them back in. 

Then when you go back to list or you click on the surlyhorns logo up top poof list of threads across all boards. 

[immamac 42865]

Also open to changing names of any boards. 6th street journal was just a play on wall street journal and I think lulz needs to be renamed.

Can you get rid of all this noise? If anyone really gives a shit about how rep was received, they can click the icon like before.

[Js1 85412]

I agree 

[elfenix 34310]

i still have no idea where to find this fluid view

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

 

It’s that black box just to the left of the orange ‘Start new topic’. People won’t use it, imma has tried to push it before. 

[Upgrayedd 5814]

Can we have a forum for the 99% where we can talk shit about the 1% and they can''t respond?

Or how about a forum for the true 1%  with rep/post ratios above 1.0?  Wait- that'll be lonely.  Forget that.

More boobs are always good.

That's all I got.

[StruggleBus 3922]

All of these changes and still no Douchebag Central. Whose dick do I need to suck to get a place to say hi?

there's a live view that might actually be more interesting.  at the very top under the activity menu select 'all activity'

Looks like I didn’t make the cut on the 1%.

When does the 2% forum come out?

purgatory instruction needs a bit more added to it:

Quote

Once you are in purgatory you cannot see rep you receive and from whom, you also cannot give rep. If you start a topic that gets you the good will of community saving you then you can rejoin. If you are still a piece of shit you can get fucked and be gone until you re-register as "[YourUserName] 2.0"

Just turned on fluid view and it’s awesome. Highly recommend. But the word “fluid” is really making me cringe. Gross.

Not being able to see rep or give rep seems like a win.

 

Now if rep comments were in play... different discussion.

Will imma ever actually improve his site? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

He’s online now, just fucking refuses to address an issue that would improve the site. 

Most moderators would want their site to suck less.

Hi @immamac my profile says Surly 1% but I cannot communicate with my elitist brethren on the special forum for certified surly badasses.  Guess tree-fiddy doesn't get you shit anymore.

Yeah me too.  I guess we're just not 1% enough.  It must be like 1% of 1%, or maybe they just don't like us.  I know I don't like me.

[immamac 42865]

Fixed. Send me a DM cuz promotions are broken

[workswithseed 2112]

Oh, I know I asked you about Parler, I was wondering if you'd get to that during this while ordeal.

[El Diablo 4232]

Some websites you have to buy a subscription to view their fluids. What I was told anyway.

Was just coming here to post this.  Can we have 6th Street added to the forum listings at the top and bottom of page?

I will also give this fluid view a try.

[Somnio 751]

Can those with "You Can't Sit With US" privileges sell access to those without? 

I envision a system like season ticket holders selling tickets to games they won't be attending.  Someone could say sell their rights to posting in said forum on a specific date. 

50% of earnings go to Surly to offset the cost of setting up and managing such a system.  YCSWU members can earn money due to their prestige, Surly has another revenue stream, and guys like me get a chance to experience elite staus, if only on special occasions.

All parties involved win!

[Deej 76830]

Or you could just step up your postings and earn it.

So you made a soccer subforum but haven’t moved the soccer threads into it?

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

That’s for 2021, right after he adds the 6th Street link multiple people have asked for. 

[Parliament 14260]

What's it cost to get into the, "You can't sit with us" thread?
