New Forum Structure

[Steve]

From Monday you are going to see some changes to the way the forums are laid out. This work is long overdue and we are really grateful for all the feedback you have given us in recent times both publicly and privately.

Tim (timsk) has been managing this project and has been working very hard behind the scenes to produce a much sharper and relevant list.In addition to your feedback, we have looked at the approach taken by other communities and also thoroughly investigated 'best practice' in this area.

The new layout not only makes the site more streamlined, it gets rid of dead sub forums, brings everything up to date and unites members that were once split into smaller groups. We hope you agree that the new layout is leaner, crisper and altogether better.

To save you waiting to see what is done as next week unfolds, I've included a pdf showing the new list in full.

Inevitably, there will be a few forums that are misplaced. If you spot any obvious ones, please PM Tim or put a link to them on this thread and he’ll move them.

This is the first of many changes that will be made in the coming months and my thanks once again to those of you who have taken the time to suggest some of these. Please keep them coming and i'll make sure all ideas are given the proper consideration.

Please bear with me though, there's a lot to do!

Steve

Will the forum still be available in the tap talk app? I very rarely access it from a pc

 

[The Leopard]

Streamlining sounds like a good change.

 

[ChocolateDigestive]

I note there is no 'vendor scumbag' section lol.

 

[Lightning McQueen]

..or in other words the forum as travis wanted

Yes, it will be - no change there.

 

[scose-no-doubt]

I notice that there is no 'Trading and/or Any Other Lulz' section... Am I to assume that this means lulz are welcome all over the new forum categories?

 

[scose-no-doubt]

Also, there is no section for scams and stuff

 

[pboyles]

And in fact a couple of threads highlighting scams have been deleted without explanation. I'm referring to superfundfx, the Australians that were claiming 900% a year via a partner offer.

Is this part of the new policy?

What is it with you, peebee? you drew the thing to attention, it was an admitted serious mistake on T2W's part which was corrected promptly and the recipients of the e-mail informed and advised accordingly.

So what do you do? Instead of giving T2W the slightest credit for the action taken you rail on about cover up and conspiracy.

I don't know why the threads were deleted - likely to be just as much about removing publicity about superfund as about T2W's embarrassment - but why start claiming some sort of devious intent?

From a personal point of view I'm pretty fed-up with your constant attacks on T2W who do, after all, give you the space to expose the scams you find despite the cost and difficulty that gives them. Sure, a few of the things you say have to be deleted for reasons which must be pretty obvious when faced with legal challenge, but most of what you come up with remains and even those which go have usually stayed for enough time for people to have taken note.

It's about bloody time you worked with T2W on these things, not against them.

Its also a matter of public record that those threads generate a significant proportion of t2w's traffic.

Some of us are paying attention to what's going on around here.

To be fair to T2W, it does allow a great deal more leeway for vendor hunting than most forums. It also does own up to faults more readily and allows far freer discussion of them. You will understand that this is relative, but what the hell, we've all got to live in the world.

This is in stark contrast to a forum I had occasion to use recently. The behaviour of site staff and admin and certain site facilities were shocking. Truly extraordinarily bad. The only explanation I can think of is that they are intending to relocate and become North Korea's premier trading forum.

 

[pboyles]

It was a simple question. Why was the superfundfx thread deleted?

If someone would actually answer the question, instead of dancing around it hoping it will go away, then these things wouldn't turn into an ongoing saga.

Oh, of course, that's why I've made over 6000 posts just to help out and improve the count. Funny I thought it was down to dealing with idiots like you.

ps: that's bit strong - apologies, my trade is underwater!!

None of them has any intention of helping out at T2W. (not part of their agenda) That being the case, the solution is obvious, ban the lot of them...this may be the push they need in order that they can set up their own "scam busters" website. (which they won't do of course as that would involve putting themselves in the firing line)

Keyboard warriors the lot of them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but pboyles has offered to help countless times. IIRC your new "CEO" even acknowledged the offer in a reply.

Where any of the multiple offers accepted ?

 

[pboyles]

Nonsense, I offered to research all future advertisers and partners for free. They said they'd let me know. Strangely I never heard back from them.

 

[pboyles]

You see if you'd just answered my question we wouldn't have got into all this.

Then take it up with Steve and quit littering the board up with your bollox.

I'm not going to tell you again....persist, and I will ban you permanent and in very short order.

Well I wouldn't have to persist if you answered the damned question about superfundfx. How many times do I have to ask?

In any case who cares about being banned.
