Happy New Year, all IGNOREs are lifted! Suggestions to Founder
san_jose_guy
money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
My Ignore List:

But no more, now no one is on IGNORE. I do not plan on using IGNORE to keep people from posting on my threads.
Founder, setting up a VIP Room and a Dressing Room is going to neutralize much of the appeal of this forum. Now the juicy stuff about clubs is likely to stay in the VIP Room.
And then letting people prevent someone's posts from being seen on one of their threads, that is a huge amount of power. This forum is going to fragment. People who cannot talk to each other on a thread will be talking across threads!
I see these changes as a big negative.
Both of the above mean that those who want this forum to be very narrow in content will now have a great deal of power.
Lots of people have stopped posting, because they are no longer PL's. Maybe once they were in a situation such that they had to seek regular gratification in strip clubs, and such that they called the women they knew, ATF and CF. But no more. They have been able to move on. They are not the sort of pathetic types only interested in financial speculations, gambling, right wing news and politics, sports, cumming in their pants, and paying hookers for sex. If they are likely to be here, it will be to talk about other things.
So for those of us often holding minority POV's, these new changes are going to make things very tough.
So if this is how it is to be, would you consider 3 other changes.
1. Reopen our old discussions and keep the articles open. It is easier to maintain a broader array of topical threads when one does not have to worry about them closing. I can't see how this contributes to trolling. It is likely those who want only Right Wing PL topics who would think that. WHen one does not have to worry about thread closure, they can put their time into making higher quality posts.
2. Allow us to have a unique URL for each post. Long ago it was like this, the code generator used the post serial number to mare that place in the page.
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp…
So then there might be some kind of an icon on the right side of the post, which upon clicking on, it takes you to the top of that post and puts its unique URL in the address bar. Though you can of course still scroll up or down and see all of the other posts. Most message boards today have this feature. It makes it far easier to reference posts in other threads.
3. An end of page link. When threads are long, and if there are text dumpers, it is time consumptive to get to the bottom of a thread. So how about displaying the thread titles as now. But also add at the right side of each threads listing, an EofThread icon. If you click on it, it takes you to the last post on the thread. You can still scroll back up, like say to your own last post. But presumably you know everything above that. This will make things go faster.

Some of what is talked about here is of no long term interest to anyone but a true PL.
Thanks,
SJG
Personally, I think the new changes are just caving in to the small clique of geriatric tricks on here who want to censor, bully and ostracize anyone not like them.
This forum is supposed to be about strip clubs and thus anything and everything related to them. Not just an outpost for old conservative misogynistic racist classist ageist married men who troll strip clubs for prostitutes.
What this site needs is to be open enough to offer something for everyone. No matter how much is done to attract dancers, I doubt anyone believes they will actually want to interact on a forum taken over by individuals like that clique.
"Now the juicy stuff about clubs is likely to stay in the VIP Room." This gives lurkers more of a reason to become a VIP member through contributing to the site through writing reviews and articles. If someone wants the juicy details written on the discussion boards they should have to become a VIP they same way they do to read the juicy details in the reviews.
"Lots of people have stopped posting, because they are no longer PL's. ... If they are likely to be here, it will be to talk about other things." If someone is no longer active in the strip club scene this is not the right site for them since it is 100% strip club focused. There are plenty of other discussion boards to talk about anything that is not strip club related. If someone isn't discussing strip club related topics they are not adding value to a strip club site like this.
However, founder already has implemented something along the lines of your third suggestion a while ago. At the bottom of the original post there is a line showing the last comment time and author. If you click on that it will take you to the last poat in the thread.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Anyone who makes a statement like that needs more help than is available on this website.
Twentyfive, we need those old threads reopened, only way to maintain good topical diversity. All the more so that things have bifurcated into Front Room and VIP Room.

I'm just going to head over to the VIP board for some of that sweet, sweet on-topic discussion content.
That's because it was launched... what?... two days ago?
most topics there also have nothing to do with strip clubs, most of the threads are just talking about the fact that a VIP room exists and how much they don't like trolls posting.
But I'm glad its there so that you guys can see what the forum would actually look like if we really did take the measures that people "suggested" in Founder's thread to remove all the trolls and stop allowing off topic discussions. Basically, dead with almost no one posting.
That's because it was launched... what?... two days ago? And, I don't think that anyone expects it to have the same posting volume as the "Front Room". That's the point... quieter and more on topic.
"... most topics there also have nothing to do with strip clubs, most of the threads are just talking about the fact that a VIP room exists and how much they don't like trolls posting...."
Again, it's new. So, yes. People are asking questions about what all the changes mean. But aside from that, there are also topics related to strip clubs. We'll all have to wait and see if the VIP takes root or doesn't.
But declaring it a failure only a few days after it launches is you (and others) having a bit of a foot-stamping tantrum.
"But I'm glad its there so that you guys can see what the forum would actually look like if we really did take the measures that people 'suggested' in Founder's thread to remove all the trolls and stop allowing off topic discussions. Basically, dead with almost no one posting."
Excellent. If it's actually DOA, as you argue, then you don't have to worry about missing anything going on that's going on in there.
Let's be honest. The only reason why you wiped out your ignore list is because it made you nuts to suddenly discover that the people you blocked were no longer going to be obligated to view your shitty content.
It's the same reason why you don't like the VIP area. It's a place where you can't go and tell people that they're having fun wrong.
Moreover, why do you assume san_jose_guy doesn’t have access to the VIP room? Regardless, I think san_jose_guy’s idea is brilliant! Maybe once a year everybody should give everybody else a chance to either earn a new ignore or forge a new readership!
Using the previous Ignore functionality, if you ignored me then you stopped seeing my posts / comments, but I would still see your post / comments unless I decided to ignore you in return. Using the new Ignore tool, if you ignore me then you don't see my posts *and* I automatically don't see your posts as well.
SJG has been happy to use the Ignore tool for years while knowing that the block only worked one way by default. Now that it's a two-way block, it's unacceptable to him. Because he likes to be watched...
"Other people still had access to ignore if they wanted to ignore san_jose_guy."
This has been explained many times before and by frequent posters other than me. Many prefer to not put anyone on ignore because it makes certain discussion threads indecipherable with unblocked users responding to blocked users.
Founders change took that preference out of our hands, which I didn't love but I'm willing to give it a shot. It's not my sandbox.
"Moreover, why do you assume san_jose_guy doesn’t have access to the VIP room?"
First and foremost, because he's not posting there. If he had access, he'd be posting there. Because he likes to be watched...
Also, he refuses to write a review or shell out the money. So, there's that as well.
"Regardless, I think san_jose_guy’s idea is brilliant! Maybe once a year everybody should give everybody else a chance to either earn a new ignore or forge a new readership!"
I'm perfectly happy to be ignored by a guy who (a) thinks it's okey dokey to put his dick in a woman who is asleep and not able to provide consent, and (b) spends the rest of his time telling people that they're having fun wrong.
You know, because he likes to be watched... and he's creepy as fuck.
I wish everyone lots of LDKs in 2019. Lol
And yeah we need more different viewpoints on here, more diversity.
And no one forces anyone to read anything....
I really don't get the whole point of the problematic clique here being so antagonistic towards everyone. They're like a gang and think this is their turf.
I always pictured SJG was this guy.

Joe Jackson - Breaking Us In Two
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g01HSthc…
To my ear this is an extremely sad song.
A lot of emphasis on minor triads
Breaks some of the conventions for guitar music, using lots of slash cords, and this F# Major. Black key music, okay for keyboard, but not common for guitar because it uses no open string notes. Are his people using an alternative tuning?
