NFT: Please don't ever change this site

Dave in PA : 10/29/2014 9:23 pm
Antiquated as it may be, I love that you can see 15 threads without having to scroll the page. Most other formats have huge font and ridiculous signatures on every post, it's terrible. Thumbs up
It don't ever change playa

Couldn't agree morr

no mobile, no major layout overhauls. Can't stand the way some other sites operate.
What makes BBI great is the layout

Keep It Simple Stupid

One of the most successful news sites is still using basic HTML format with links.
Agree that the interface is what keeps this place great  
glowrider : 10/29/2014 11:38 pm : link
No cluttered sigs, avatars, just straight dirt.

Needs a mobile upgrade, if only to countenance the difficulty with navigating drop down menus by touch, renderings, link clicking tolerance.

It would be really useful if this site were responsive.
You're fucking everything up by not using vBulletin.

they are, dont be stupid.

its impossible to nest quotes here
impossible to search for posts
impossible to understand how and why certain threads get bumped and others not
and it is ridiculous to force people to have a title

look, in 5 years, the internet is going to totally change. you will have to monetize a website thats driven by impressions through micro transactions. People would be more than willing to pay for 20 clicks on this website anywhere for 2 cents. Staying on this shit platform is going to leave you in the dust when you need it most and competitors will find a way to deliver a superior browsing performance.
totally agree

format is great
and i'm not joking

digital currencies are going to totally transform pay for content on the internet by allowing sites to engage in microtransactions.

within 5 years a major news site on the scale of nytimes (re: biggest) is going to implement a system where you get 10 clicks for 1 cent. You get no popup ads, no sponsored ads, just regular banners. You will either pay through your phone or webcam as a QR code that gives you permission to browse as a prepaid customer. maybe its 20 clicks for 1 cent. or 50 for 2 cents. I don't know that part. But I know its coming and it will set an enormous precedent all across the internet, and forums will be in a fantastic position to monetize themselves similarly.

That, or BBI dies.
or Eric sells BBI to some shithead who loses his entire audience.

i personally dont care, because ill be ahead of the curve. this site, i'm not so sure because its managed like a 80 year old retiree who only puts in 5 hours a week, but Eric says its his second job. So i'm not sure.

You know just when i think you have raised the idiocy bar to a level never seen, you reach into your oozing twat bag and pull out another that tops the rest.

Your game is getting old and its only a matter of time before you have to come back under yet another dupe.
the only thing I really wish this site had

Was a "first unread" bookmark on threads. The ability to jump to the first comment you haven't read yet and move from there would be great.

Ahead of the curve with the New York Giants forum that you will be running I'm guessing? Because if that is not what you are talking about, then it isn't relevant here.
