We have started that option : http://www.wjunction.com/2-news-ann...-update-article-writing-section-new-post.html for our users to earn

I just wanted to know your POV for new things which need to show up here at WJ.

Practical updates / Sections / Plugins what exactly can make the site have +1.

We already have a decent rule structure here at WJ, Please note this is not a Section hate thread ,If you have problem with a section just disable that forum and remove it from your latest posts.

I need practical things from you what would you like here on WJ, More sections if yes then which, new plugin then which, more threads if yes what kind?

Suggest few things if the same thing is liked or appreciated by other members we would try to get you that thing

Simple as that, Peace Out!

Regards
WJunction Staff

Well this is very simple.

I've never been directly asked to actually help take WJunction to the next level. Perhaps someone with power should talk with me.

Personally there are few of us left here with true vision and understanding of what's required.

For starters it's "ok" to ask the community what they want. However, there's so many modifications and upgrades that this site could have that should have been made years ago. Activity isn't a problem I know what's happening around here and how to solve it.

Just think about how little the site has changed in the past 5 years and you will have your answer.

You want WJunction to expand and grow and not decline? Then I am your guy. People with vision create sites like WJ in their minds and then take it to other people who have vision to expand on their own idea.

In either case. My activity and performance will only slightly change it's course. I have been very quiet around here for about a month now as I have been helping elsewhere. It's either WJ or the other guys.

My predictions were already discussed with CV if the course continues.

My actions? Not sure about what you mean there.

Just to sum up what I meant above. I have no problem helping out WJ or any other community that asks me to do so. VBulletin is what I am used to. IPB not so much, but it's the mind and vision that can take things to that next level. I'm not going to discuss things in a public forum. I'm not going to share anything of what I would do. The majority doesn't understand, nor do they need to know.

Personally I love working and helping out, and my energy will be focused somewhere very soon. Here, there, elsewhere. We shall see what happens in the upcoming days and weeks. I've grown very tired of not working on something. It's about time that we change that.

To0’s right about upgrades that should have happened by now. Personally I think WJ made a big mistake a few years ago when it didn’t switch to IPB. A test site was set up and looked great. Another test site was set up a year later which was even better. Now it’s running on an old, outdated, slow script with no updates or future.

​
WJ got a new theme but that’s like putting a new dress on an old lady. Looks better but is still old and slow. Can’t see a future for this old lady unless something radical happens. Not saying it has to switch to IPB but it does need a new major update and not just another forum I’ll never visit or a feature I won’t use.

Post such suggestions then? that's the point of this thread, the admins don't need to PM you for ideas. If you got any, paste them here.

@Happy: Site loads fast here mate, don't know how fast it needs to be for you techsavy tho.
 
Well maybe he is talking about the vbulletin version we are using maybe a upgrade to the latest versions ? How does that seems? Maybe*

WJ upgraded TWICE already to IPB on test sites. Once about 3-4 years ago (it was shortly after IPB 3 came out) on an Australian domain and then eLight did about a year or two later.



@RT it's not the loading of the site that's slow. It's the experience of the site that feels old and slow. It's like what @RaZ3r said about updating.

I think it reminds me of Windows XP. Windows XP is a great OS which is now dated and old, but still works fine and loads still use it. Nothing wrong with using it but better options are available. You could stay with the current as it works fine but I think it's time to for an upgrade of some type. You just gotta be careful you don't fuck up like Windows 8.

I'd be all for switching to IP.Board. However, with the activity of the site, shouldn't content get priority?

I for one don't think we should be moving the IPB. vBulletin isn't bad at all, anything extra that is needed can be added. vBulletin is a great base, regardless of its age. There's some great devs on here that if asked, can definitely contribute code, scripts, etc. There shouldn't be quite as much focus on moving to a different BB as there should for finding out ways to bring activity back, and bring more unique content and bring that "fun" that was linked to WJunction. To be honest, ever since the whole Katz thing happened and this site became more legal, it lost a lot of direction and lost that "cool" side of the site. And don't get me wrong, I'm not one for keeping illegal activities, I'm just saying we need to re-invent WJunction. There's a lot of great information on here, and we need to find a way to present it better, present the site better. Just my opinion.
 
How can we bring the cool side back exel ? any suggestions ? and migrating to a complete new board ain't in a view atm maybe the current forum script upgrade to a latest one might be possible. No promises but what extra things can be added ?
 
What a bloody mess.

I didn't mean to start off on the path of changing the community to IPB. What I meant by that statement is that I was focusing on an IPB site (AdminSpot) recently.

It is correct to assume that this site is very old and out dated but simply changing scripts isn't enough, nor is adding modifications, etc.

When I tell someone this is what's happening and these are the stats and here's how we can change it, but get no response it's frustrating. It's frustrating when the flip side of that occurs and people do listen and their community grows as a result but they just dog me.

So yea I care about all communities. This one in particular as well as AS. It's just a matter of which one will get my full focus and fresh ideas. Everyone that knows me knows what I love to do more than anything and that's to make the best community or company experience possible. Whether it be my site or a site I like to frequent. Right now I am just trying to determine who will get my new ideas and dedication.

Spilling my ideas and so forth in public is not necessarily good for what I would have to say in regards to WJ at this time. Which is why I asked for an admin to contact me. It's all about activity right? Branding? Excitement? Innovation! Modification! Incorporation! Re-inventing ones self etc. At this time I would like to simply do more and say less.

For everyone else who has commented in moving forward and advancing the community you are all on the right track.

Good ideas are great but only if they actually get implemented....

I think old members should be targeted and attempted to be brought back cough.

I also believe WJ should have never added the file host group, Why not add a web host, & image host group ? LOL?


Anyway i would move to IPB.
 
Correction Dlow that ain't a filehost group its Affiliate Representative group so any kind of business owners who are providing affiliation services might be moved to that group.

The old people cough cough decide to run away that isn't our fault. We want to increase the activeness around the forum with or without them

And as for the Script, I Don't think we can upgrade to IPB but mostly we could be upgrading to a latest version of vB

Then this should be outlined and detailed better so people understand what the section can be utilized for.

Most of the old people were banned actually and as a result the exodus of thousands of people started and over time that hurts. It's a slow process that goes unnoticed, but when one person can influence a hundred people then you need to be diligent. The ban hammer was used swiftly in a lot of cases here and I don't think lifetime bans should have been warranted in all cases. Some of these bans need to be re-reviewed. Such as you did with me. (Thanks again).

I would not recommend a script change. It's not required, you guys can improve this community just the same as if it was an IPB styled forum.
 
I personally think "Nothing stays permanent, anything and everything changes over the course of time" so basically my point here is that the ban hammer you mentioned the permanent bans can be reviewed over a course of time for example like yours. But for serious offenders i might be wrong for the above statement :P
