XLT site upgrade suggestions

Since Phobiazero hinted that this site might be remade or
somehow redone, list some suggestions as to what you think
would improve the site, make it work or function better,
etc.

My suggestion: Keep everything more or less the same except
widen everything into the "extended site space" so the text
in threads takes up the whole width of the screen. The
design of the site seems so old that it was optimized for
800x600 screens or something. Avatars could be made a bit
bigger possibly, but I still think they should be smallish
and unobtrusive.

I would actually like if the site was kept as is, but
that the right side was used as a ajax live-feed of
everything that is posted.

Like:
2015-01-27 18:54: luceatluxxe posted the topic "XLT site
upgrade suggestions"
, perhaps with a bit of the text,
and then you'd be able to click right into the post/topic.
In that way you wouldn't be forced to use that damn
browser-refresh, and the site would be more active.

bigger avatars would just be ugly

fixing the the sometimes-fucked-up wordbreaks, cleansing the
site from use of html tables and a mobile-version is much
more interesting

I'm thinking just plain grey'ish text in the ajax feed, on
top of the dark grey background (of course without the +260
line).

Getting people away from refreshing the site all the time
might actually help on server load (right Phobia?).

Yeah, can it be exactly like WATMM? Also it would be a good
idea to make it compulsory to pay in order express yourself.
Maybe something new, for 1 euro you get 100 posts, for 3 you
get 500.

I think the site is fine as it is. Considering the amount of
paying users.

automatically scale attached pictures and avatars on
upload.

make youtube/soundcloud/bandcamp/whatever players
embeddable.

allow replies to multiple posts.

That one would actually be very nice.

I also like Junktion's live feed idea.

Otherwise, I'm with DustyRust.

you know, adding a xltronic.com google-search to the site,
might actually be better

I think that instead of clamouring for XLT v2 (3?) maybe
leave "the bible" as it is, and instead embrace add ons, or
plugins. I am currently coding up "Zilty", and extension for
Chrome (and hopefully Firefox), which is the equivalent of a
"desktop helper" in the guise of an animated nude lady that
uses "body language" to illustrate the level of irony (or
"snark") in individual posts.

on the note of teledildonics, we should switch the database
to xanadu, which was invented by the same dude.

I would like to see the extended space further extended by
at least another 15 pixels.

and appreciates how prolific they are..

wish i knew max. trax, why dont u write more, very vivid
pictures

did phobz ever talk to you about helping out withe site? i
get the feeling you're the man 4 the job.

russssssyyyyy, not if we MAKE the monies ;)
make a kickstarty for 3 of richies ball hairs n get the
twatmm community to help fund the site. imeen theyre
already at it with the other one

false advertisement is only a contruct of a false society,
brainwashed n turned against each other our whole lives.
makes everyone lose a common purpose. joydix is only a cog
: (

problem is som1 here with red ball hairs gotta give up 3...

thanks foht. i write some essay-stuff here, but
it's generally hard to work up the motivation to put that
much effort into something i'm doing for free. i like forums
for being the writing equivalent of junk-food; something i
can do on the go and enjoy.

i don't think phobs needs any help. as i've said before, all
i really wanted was the broken stuff (like avatars) fixed,
and he seems on that. i donated $30 instead. it'd be nice to
be kicked over to the premium group for that, so i could
attach images, but i'm not sweating the details -- he didn't
pull the plug, he fixed the broken stuff, so we're good
