In an attempt to keep the forum growing and prevent it from getting stale I am looking for some feedback here. A short climate survey if you will....
What do you most enjoy about our little forum?
What do you least enjoy about our little forum?
What if anything do you feel our little forum is lacking? What would you like to see offered here that is not currently available?
Respond here or feel free to send me a PM if you are more comfortable.

I suggest putting the quote button at the end of the post. The same thing with the like button. If the post is very long, (using cellphone) it is a bit cumbersome to "slide back" and press the like button.
Perhaps we can simply add a duplicate at the bottom.
Another suggestion, highlighting text should give you an option if you want to quote the said highlighted words.
I am mostly using my phone so I don't know if this is already done or implemented when using a computer.

I enjoy all the baits here on the forum I'd just like too see more but I know it takes time Scambaiting especially the good baits don't happen over night also I think promoting SBC, Mistress Scambait, bluelady, Linolines channels should be more front & centre

Might sound kinda old school now but maybe a chat room where folks can talk via text in real time. I've seen it on other forms before.

SpongeBob I am not sure we have the ability to do that. I will look into it rob419 we are absolutely going to be doing far more promotion of our supporting member channels. That is something that is in work @cbswaves MSB I have had that thought too. Will likely be in the form of a skype group Thank you all for your feedback

I don’t know if this would be in your control or not but if possible, I would like to see something At or near the top of the screen, that says Bottom (Just like at the bottom, it says Top), which will immediately send you to the last comment on the page. Some of These posts have a lot of comments and the pages are very long and it takes time to scroll to the bottom.
That’s the only thing that I can think of now.

What if anything do you feel our little forum is lacking? What would you like to see offered here that is not currently available? What about a photo gallery of shame? With a watermark in the picture file and a link to the bait thread under each photo if possible. That could be a way to boost awareness and sharing on messengers or social media.

I have noticed that Last couple of month less New content is posted about baits. Maybe because our main heroes Linoline, Gregore Vasiliu Birlic and Pricky are too busy, Maybe because the stories aren't in fruitfull stage to post here. But again - they do fantastic VOLUNTARY job. So no demands

chuckbutt, I can only speak for myself, but I've been through a very hard time starting last summer. My life changed drastically. Things have been getting back on track recently and I picked up baiting a bit more. A lot of time goes into it and I have to be in the right mental place to do it. I really enjoy baiting, it has been my escape from real life for a long time and I love to share the work with you guys. Skype is also free and (can be) anonymous. Personally I use it a lot more than Telegram.

I am really leaning toward skype for the "chat room" but I am doing my due diligence on the others first

Mhhhm so you really trust Skype by Microsoft? Is it anonymous enough? Linoline, you are the sweetheart of this community, I hope the lifetrain gets on the straight rails for you now. I'm amazed how much effort you put into this, and I know you spend it from your personal time. Respect.

What about a photo gallery of shame? With a watermark in the picture file and a link to the bait thread under each photo if possible. That could be a way to boost awareness and sharing on messengers or social media. The hard part of this one is that we can't host the photo gallery on the forum. It would be a separate IMGUR account for example where things would need to be loaded and then linked to here. I am not opposed to setting up a hall of shame section but it is not as simple as users dropping or uploading "to the forum" and honestly I am not sure if that is an option. it will be looked into.
chuckbutt I may be dating myself here a bit. Both discord and telegram seem to have steep learning curves for me. Telegram requires a real life phone number to set up an account on the laptop or desktop so it is far less anonymous than Skype. Keeping in mind that this will just be a chat platform and it will be open to baiting personas it is quite secure from an anonymity standpoint. I am looking at the others but we use skype for baiting and interacting with scammers and it does not compromise our identity. Skype used to have some limitations on who could join group chats or channels and it looks like that has been loosened up a bit. I have no problem with skype from an anonymity standpoint but I do recognize that while I may be most comfortable with it that does not mean it is the best for the group and what we are trying to accomplish. There are going to be some other resources independent of but loosely related to the forum in the near future and those may offer the ability to host hall of shame photos and a chat room as well.

I recently installed Discord and somehow I was able to use it. I haven't fully explored it yet but it seems somewhat similar to Reddit. I have the impression that Discord is mainly used in games.
Regarding the hall of fame, perhaps we can build a separate site for it or a web page dedicated only for that.
I haven't tried Skype, but I believe I should be able to use it if needed.
Thank you and to those who are involved for all your effort to improve our forum.

Just my 2 cents on discord, it's like this forum sorta except it is broken down into folders on left similar to a file manager. You are right it isn't easy peasy to use, i did reading and asking discord channel people many questions when i started. I've used Skype and it's easier but I've not used it in a long time. I enjoy the forum and have no real opinion one way or another about changes. Sometimes i check it constantly and then won't fit weeks, depends upon the posts and how deeply i dive into them. 🤣😂🤣

Doctorbastard if you ever find yourself in the Chicago area. Find yourself a Lou Malnati's and order up a Chicago Classic. One of the very few things on this planet better than sex.

I do like chat groups. I have a fair-sized and lively Skype Group for my Team Members and a few, close supporters. I also have a Telegram Group for Patreons and Channel Members who wish to join.
An issue with a forum having a live chat group, particularly one that is open to all, is moderating it. Instant Messaging is far more conducive to trolls and other sad, dysfunctional attention-seeking types. Are there people in authority here with time to moderate it? Another matter to consider is that it will take people away from SF and onto another platform. Would you want that?

I don't want people to move out.
In response to moderating, it will be hard. Will someone volunteer to be active as a moderator on specific times?
My suggestion, have a thread that functions like a chat box where you can post anything. I know it's different, but I think it should be a compromise. I hope I'm making sense.

I would be willing to try to set up a Discord for the forum. It may not be great, but it would get the job done. Only if you want me to, of course.
