Tiny-Tim Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) As I jump in and out of jobs at the moment, (times being what they are), I would not be able to donate even if I wanted too. I think advertisement is a good idea if it comes to that or taking the site down... (Just please no cover-the-whole-screen-pop-ups...)

Guest Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 would been nice given that all new you pre warned us and wow this is nice now even less plpl on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 would been nice given that all new you pre warned us and wow this is nice now even less plpl on here You would have been given reasonable notice, but the server crash changed the plans. neoJaguar made an executive decision that it would be better to cutover immediately rather than wait the 2-3 days it would have taken me to restore the old site.

Cunning Fox Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thank-you neoJaguar for taking on this challenge. And my thanks also to White Fox's closest family and friends for sharing him with us, who barely knew him. I can trace my on visits on this site back around 15 years when it was still part of Melody O'Hair, although not a member until around 7 years ago. I now have Facebook, FourrureClub, xHamster, Flickr and until 6 months ago FFG logins among others (mostly under Ginger Fox). But I always enjoy coming back here, although I probably don't contribute as much content here as elsewhere. In terms of advertising, I have no problem with it... however, it would be wise to ensure any agreements have clauses allowing free and open speech on any and all topics by all users, moderators, administrators etc. as it is only with freedom that we are free to be good, caring, loving people by choice. I would not like to be a robot, even if I were a robot in a fur coat. Thank-you again neoJaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this. A blog that I read was potentially going to take on some advertisements, but when the blog owner discovered that the agreement disallowed him from using "naughty" words, he said "fuck that!".

neoJaguar Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Free speech is a priority for me, and I will not be policing anyone on this site. The only time I will get involved if someone is purposely attacking another member. Those types of incidents are obviously rare and will be taken on a case by case basis.

awcjr Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 A few of us are finding the new site but not fast enough. So I guess I'll try to get word out to others and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 The google bot showed up finally, and started indexing the new site for google... I'm not sure when the rest will find it. That's not something I can force to happen quickly. Any word of mouth at this point is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Barguzin Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Well, I just received an email and clicked on the link, so methinks that doing the email was a smart move since I couldn't connect to this site at all for a few days. Started to get furdrawal symptoms. Not nice when it is warming up in Oz. Anyways, time fur a prowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah I thought the mass email might be a good idea.. Turns out it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) How come you changed it so that one has to log in to access ALL of the fora? Edited November 14, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I always thought that having access to the general fur forum and the pub and market prior to signing in was a good middle ground. Edited November 15, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Now that it easy to give a THANKS even if you don't have anything to say,i think that no forum should be open to guests for reading and just go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Id Be Lying Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Im all for showing yer wares (a flavour anyways) to all & by doing so entice them to join the site & in time to contribute as well. It takes time for many folk to get comfortable in new surroundings & then to make a post for the first time. For me I enjoy posting & sharing content I find, that works for me, if folk like it too thats great, if they dont... no worries... if it inspires them to hunt out a few pics or clips themselves, then that's a result in the long run as we all get to grow as a forum. Slowly slowly catchy monkey is a good adage folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKcoyote Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 How come you changed it so that one has to log in to access ALL of the fora? I tend to agree, and would say neoJaguar over did it a bit. He very reasonably wants to reduce image farming by bots in the Fashion Zone forums and keep bots & guests out of the adult area. However there are several forums (Discussion forums except Chat room, Speciality forums) that in my opinion should be readable by guests. It is possible because nJ has not had a lot of experience administering a phpBB board that he is not fully aware of the nuances of the phpBB permission system which is complex and can lead to unintended consequences.

neoJaguar Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 I changed it because I did not want bots/people to farm our photos causing unneeded stress on the servers, and ultimately causing the site to slow down. I've reversed some of the changes - The discussion, and mall area have been set to read only. The rest I'm not granting read access to unless you're logged in. No one needs to be able to see the adult area without logging in. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing - I'm having to guess at a lot of stuff because a lot of people didn't give their inputs, and I'm essentially flying solo trying to come up with ideas, and fixes for the site. There's a couple people who are in the shadows helping me out, and I cannot thank them enough for their help. So thanks for bringing this up - If no one gives feedback then I don't know what to fix.

Fox Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Admittedly, I wasn't aware of the image farming. But also, a lot of the time I go through the site w/o signing in. For better or for worse, I've been around long enough that many topics are redundant now, so I don't sign in as often as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 It's all good. It's been taken care of. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurman Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I have been quite busy for the past few months, so it is with great sadness that I have learned about WF's passing away just now. He was a gentle and kind soul, always trying to help people here in the Den, always a wise voice. I will always remember him with a white fuzzy halo around his head, that White Fox hood...
