Hello Everyone,
Thanks for your feedback and support.
As I mentioned to you in the previous PM we are waiting on some funding for this site before we can implement competitions and events.
This is a FREE site and here is a little run down on the running costs.
Vbulletin License $300 per Year
Perth Based Server ($400 per
month)
Perth Based FLASH server ($200 per
month) (this makes the webcam work in chat)
and the cost of paying someone to maintain/prune the site ($500 per month)
At the moment, our Google Ad Words are generating around $2 - 3 per day.
Next Year, I plan to rename the Forum.
I'm considering going back to adultforums.com.au as we do own the domain and its currently acting as a portal page to redirect visitors to talkinsex.com.
As for the site being associated with
Langtrees.com - Australia's Premier Escort Directory this will soon slowly change. Langtrees.com will still be a major sponsor of the new forum, however instead of appearing as the the Langtrees Official Forum, it will be replaced with the name "Adult Forums"
Bluegrass9 - Thanks for creating this post. Alot of you have raised some very valid points. When I Super PM everyone we jump from just on 1000 visitors a day to 2500 - 3000. This would indicate to me that people also like communicating privately.
CathyDomme - We paid just over $2000 US dollars for our current chat system.
This alows video chat, private messages and the integration to our Vbulletin Forum
Using your existing username and passwords. Unfortunately you do have to retype those
credentials in, as this server and the flash chat server are 2 separate servers. It
still however stops the need for a new signup.
If we have any further suggestions for competitions or prizes please let me know.
SirStefan also discussed the possibility of organizing a monthly get together.
This would be fantastic, but again takes time to organize and $$ to put together.
As for the "Pussy Pic Comp" we were going to run, I had just on 23 separate PM's from people saying
"Everyone will just google image search a nice looking pussy, and it will be a porn stars pussy we'll vote on"
Which did raise a slight issue.
So, Opening the Forum up for suggestion once again, what improvements/recommendation would you like to see ?
Thanks
