I think we can change things back to the way things were. The access restrictions can always be brought back if necessary. I can guess what's gonna happen and it ain't good Buzzetta Such is life. |

Hi Guys, I'm going to be making changes to the Controversial Topics board to provide TCBF a better balance between comic book posts and non-comic posts. It's currently out of proportion and needs to be adjusted or we will continue to lose new and old members who want the focus to be on comic books. This can be done by either limiting the amount of non-comic posts, or increasing the number of on-topic comic book posts. I'm choosing the latter method. I think you'll like these changes because I'm trying to make it a fun process. Here are the changes in a nutshell: 1) The Controversial Topics board will be visible to everyone, not just members who are logged in. 2) Full access to this board (the ability to create new threads and reply to posts) can be acquired through forum participation. 3) Members can earn money by making on-topic posts in the Comic Books and Journals boards. This money can then be used to purchase full access to the Controversial Topics board through the TCBF store. Well, it's been 6 months, and this has worked out extremely well. Comic book posts are up and there is a nice balance to the forum now. It makes me feel like hanging out here and participating more often, which is exactly what a good forum should do. I think we can change things back to the way things were. The access restrictions can always be brought back if necessary. I made a few minor changes to emphasize the comic book boards and simplify the forum architecture. A) The only boards fully visible prior to signing in are: Comic Books, Grading & Restoration, and Journals. If people want to see what's going on in the Community boards, they'll need to be registered and signed in to see it. B) Forum Information and Statistics have been hidden to keep things simple. C) The contents of the Controversial Topics board has been moved to the general Community board. All members now have full access. I plan to refund all members who paid for access over the last 6 months, and a big Thank You! for participating. I finally got around to making the Controversial Topics books refundable. Thanks again to all those who participated.  |
