Are we cooked chat?(and what to do about it)
Sorry to go full on existential on you but
this website has been circling the drain for a while now but i don't want it to die.
So it needs upgrades, hardware and software.
To pay for those upgrades, the easiest way would be ads or a membership fee.
Porn ads pay a shitton of money so don't tell me that wouldn't be enough.
You'd need to keep the tease creation free to have a steady stream of content
but the money gotta come from somewhere.
Also once the site is making money, Sephir0x(atleast i think its him)
can finally invest in making this site as good as it can be and maybe make some cash on the side.
Things that would make it 100x better(just of the top):
- Make tease search actually usable/useful.
- Add more tease tags for more granular search/creation.
- Give the eos editor some love. Especially when it comes to debugging, having to know Browser debugging tools to find issues is not sufficient(we are not all webdevs and i have personallybeen spending hours on hours to find a tiny miniscule bug that broke everything).
- Streamline the eos editor and make it more prominent on the frontpage(pretty hard to find as is).
- Give people the option to revote on a tease.(i've had multiple experiences where i wanted to raise/lower my vote on a second playthrough but couldn't).
- Make a beta section for new teases for people to bugtest and have a bugreport button in the tease itself that also reports the page the bug appeared on(with the state of all the variables included at that moment).
- Expand the Messaging system to a full on chat system(from user to user)
- Also make a chat that actually works(i know there was an irc at some point, bring it back or make a discord/teamspeak or whatever is easiest).
Some of these are easier some would require massive work i get that.
Doing nothing is not an option anymore tho.
Feel free to add your own improvements you'd like to see.
I'm certain i didn't even scratch the surface here.
Maybe this will reach Seraphox or someone whos in charge somehow.
Maybe one of you has connections.
All i'm saying is:
If it stays like it is right now, this site will go down someday and never come back.
