What should we do to improve?

[Christopholofigus]

Lets get old members back and invloved. I was one of those who went MIA for a while, though i am back (even if i am lurking around most the time). The more members that frequent the forums means more feeback to questions and thought.

Done! It's under the Quick Reply box.

Would you be interested in having a "New Thread" button in thread view?

I love the site the way that it is. More members would make it a more interesting place though.

I'd also like to see if a person is male or female on the post that they leave. By the way, I'm a man, if anyone wants to know....lol

We already have a "Report Spam" button, but it's called "Report this Post":

I joined the community only a few days back and therefore dont consider myself competent enough yet to make concrete suggestions for improvements.I must however say that absence of sex affiliations and location on the post is somewhat felt because some knowledge of personal background always helps.So far i have found everything impressive here,the e mails in particular, that i recieve after subscribing to a thread.

1.Need active members
(I think,now GC have just about 100 members.,50% have duplicate names.30% have no active.10% used for ads their sites.5% have spammers.5% just members only.Already i saw some are registered,but.,they did not any contact and give nothing.,request nothing.how can we stop that.if the members was not post 10 messages.,Should we remove him/her or noticed to post?.)
2.Need Active Masters
(when i re-connect i saw Alex-party always.,now he came just sometimes.why??? This is not ad-normal.If the interesting topics have no there.,If the admins were not alive there.,Other masters will not come there.At last year,2006.,I saw the many masters.,and i got the faithful friends for my life.Now where are they gone?.,if the admins have not there.,they can move another places.that's natually.Somebody need the help,As you know,Google have many problems as like as windows.So,They want to get good solutions.Sometimes.,I can not solve some problems.,especially when i saw reply "0" messages.i disappointed.,so sorry for that.,if the bodies will not wasteing time to write/post without their troubles.)
3.Need useful topics.
(some are just kidding.,useless.,Need to remove some dead and out-of-date topics,for..eg.my some thread is not useful)when,the useless topics are growth,the new users will not get great tips and they will not come there 2nd wround.And then,GC traffic will block and slow,ranking will be down.,by another way,domain name and host fee will become wasting money.
4.Need to give time for forums.
(I saw often,"no members online",that chance is "gold prize" for spammers.)
5.Do not kill active members.
(Admins must be patient and brave,If the admin will do remove links from one member,Must remove other members links,that is Fair.If admins will allow links,must allow others.That is Fairly and behave family type)
6.Need to contribute members together.
(If some members have the good quanlity,should be work together by friendly.)
7.Need to show new ideas.
(I like alerts tech,it is the best.but,for all conditions,this is the dead news,coz without comments.)
8.Need some host
(I want to get host storage about 50Mb.i uploaded my books to mihd.net.But,Some are expired,so,I did reuploaded this is not good solutions.,so i think,if GC was give storages to some users.we can sharing files between members.How can i get it?This is may be dreamful advice.because of I know "need the money"behind of the hosting services.)
9.See the future.
(What's the our plan?what's going on the GC.At one day,.I posted the messages.and then,i replied messages.,next day,i posted messages.,and then,i replied messages.,day3.,again post,replied.,....again.,again.,that is our life.I like "wiki"all of the bodys will like wiki (90% i guess)why wiki was improve?That is great idea and contributing members.I can volentier at wiki,Also,sometimes i edited some facts.I am not get any money,but,so happy and very enjoyfully life.Now,What's our future?)
10.Need Seminar and members welcome.
Although I can't come this seminar,That't is need.I hope this seminar to do yearly.At there,We can meet together friendly,warmly.And then,A member will hope to get jobs/oppotunately and some benefits from community.some of members can work as designer,some can good at programming.Some want to be game developers.At this conditions,GC have the good admins,Who are computerlized technician.Why can not work we are as company?(for eg.why can not publish "google Journal monthly"?)Why can not doing the works together?why not?

This is so nice of you Ugly_cat, I can see you put many hopes on GC.
The fact that I was away for a while is because I was away on holidays and now I'm back, but just today, I came to read a topic and I saw a big embedded movie at the end of each post. I would say it makes it really slow on loading the page and also very inconvenient to use quick reply buttons, as when I scroll down, I loose the whole view and all I can see is this silly movie clip half of the screen in size. I would like to make a wish to make it gone, shush, shush....lol....hope someone ever read this.
Regards,

Alex, thanks for the feedback. I'm just doing a test with the new video ads right now to see how they perform. You can remove the ads by signing up for Silver Membership. PM me for details.

Hi, everyone! I am not really "old" here, but I am glad people are very open for improvements. Anyways, I agree with Alex to provide different categories such as science, etc. If you want to attract more people, I think you should have appropriate enough space for them, I mean for us. I hope you could take me as an example; I am not really that kind of a "technical" person, although of course, I'll need them sometimes. If you noticed, I was not "here" lately because I am looking for a forum where I can talk about relationship problems such as parenting, etc. I found some, but the fact that I am back here, that means I like your place. I think this will answer the concern of UGLY CAT on how to maintain “active” members. Hope you got my point....thanks!
