We have locked the Site Support Q&A Thread here.

This thread was mainly created to support the transition from our old forum to the new one.
We’ve got too many site support links so I’ve deleted or locked them.
Moving forward, members looking for help should add their queries to the Site Support board.

Any new site queries should be filed under Site Support

Thank you. 🙂

📣 Feature added

We’ve added an “Author” label, also called “OP” (Original Poster), to posts.
So now, if you’re the person who’s created a new thread, you’ll be awarded the “OP” label. This label will display next to your name (in your own thread only) and will be visible to all our readers.

Example:

Reason this was added:

Recognition: Gives recognition to the person who initiated the discussion, acknowledging their contribution to the community.
Credibility: Adds credibility to the original poster’s comments, as readers can see the responses directly from the person who started the discussion.
Better Interaction: Enhances interactions by making it clear who the original author is, so questions and responses can be directed appropriately.

⚠️ Downtimes noted in the past few days.

Visitors may be experiencing random down times or server outages on our website.

Our hosting provider has accepted fault.
We continue to monitor the issue.

If our VPS provider does not resolve these issues promptly, we will consider building our own server stack and transitioning to an NGINX server.

Admin

📣 Feature added - Automatic loading topics/ posts

Added “scroll-to-the-top” and “scroll-to-the-bottom” buttons.
Added automatic loading of ‘topics & posts’ on the index and topics. As the user scrolls through, more content is loaded without clicking on “load more”.

Updates

New Category added Socials (Beta)

We’re testing the waters with a new category. We’ve added Socials.

⚠️ Category “Social Media Gossip & News” has been deleted and replaced with Socials

This will host a few social media influencers from the likes of Rumble, X, Tiktok, Youtube etc and we’ll be gauging the audience’s response before fully committing to any narrative. Community Rules apply to this public board.

We class a celebrity as having an IMBD profile within our Celebrity sections.
Any social media personalities wrongfully filed in the Celebrity sections should be flagged so we can move them to Socials.
We think it’s reasonable for members to have an outlet to discuss influencers. We understand it’s like opening a pandora’s box. What defines a “social media influencer”? We’ll find out together.
Our main focus will remain on our Celebrity boards.
We will also be refining, deleting certain categories. As we now know what works for us and what doesnt.

Thing is, influencers are far consistent with giving us content… because giving out consistent content is the whole point of being an influencer so that you get followers and brands will sponsor you.

Admin

TheStarTurtle You’re right, I think as long as it’s done tastefully and in a way that works for us and them, it can only be a positive for everyone.

Admin

Category “Articles & Research Threads” has now been renamed to simply News
A place to: Discuss, Submit News Articles & Research From The World.

Admin

Wishing all our visitors a spook-tacular Halloween! Have a fang-tastic time filled with fun, thrills, and chills! 🎃👻

⚠️ Update - 28/10/24 - Celebs Recategorised.

Number of media personalities have been de-ranked from Celebrity to Socials thanks to @TheStarTurtle
In some cases where a “celebrity” with a limited IMDB profile is better known as a ‘social media influencer’, we would file them under Socials too.
A few sports personalities have been filed under Sports

📣 Change to Unlocking NSFW content.

Members are now required to contribute 15+ “meaningful posts” before application

Backup

Meaningful Content:

Posts that provide insights, advice, or detailed information on a topic.
Responses that add value to a discussion, such as sharing personal experiences, solutions, or helpful resources.
Constructive feedback or analysis that enhances understanding for others.
Not Meaningful Content:

Not Meaningful Content:

Short acknowledgments like “thank you” or “I agree” without further input.
One-word responses or minimal reactions that don’t contribute to the topic.
Repetitive posts or comments that lack substance or originality.

Reason for the change:

Reduces brand new accounts from requesting NSFW and next day, requesting account deletions.
Cultivates a positive environment for members who actually want to be apart of the community
Reduces workload for our @Mods Team.

Admin

I’ve reduced the NSFW meaningful post cost down to “15”.

I believe this is reasonable and achievable within a short period of time.
It will not be reduced any further.
If this is abused, it will be adjusted/ increased in the future.
