Scarface

Yeah it really is, but a lot of people have given me some good feedback, so at least I have a place to start. Thanks for the reassurance photon, its good to hear from someone who has experience with the same process.

Thanks coryl, great comment. Appreciate your time. I definitely will address those issues. The problem is the service is really for anybody. I think, based on your feedback and everyone else's, I just have to work to define the service more clearly through its presentation, interface, and marketing strategy (slogan and information on the site included). Thanks again!

I really appreciate your time, thanks for the feedback.

I noticed the error now woodall, thanks a lot for pointing that out, appreciate it.

Thanks a lot photon_off, it is hard to take criticism on something that you worked hard on, but it is necessary. It is better to get told your site needs improvement rather than be oblivious. Really appreciate your time. PS the sorting tabs are not broken, they just depend on having users online using the site, which like you said is confusing if your site is a ghost town lol. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feed back woodall. What browser are you using, and what did you do to achieve those errors. I have accessed the page, and all the tabs logged in and out in chrome, firefox and did not get those errors.

Edo, you have provided really great feedback for me and I appreciate it more than you know. I am going to work hard to get this going and build on all these suggestions. Will you be checking this post in the future, (tommorow or the day after for example) so I can check back in with you when I have made the changes? Your feedback is highly useful for me, since this is the first site I have ever made.

Great comment pedalpete. I will work on the interface and focus of the site. What I want to realize is a site where people can discover content, interact in a topic to share their ideas on the content, and read interactions in other topics and past topics they have created. This is why I included a 'bump' feature where empty topics can be bumped and are arranged under the 'bumping topics' heading so that, content you enjoy, you can promote so that others will come and talk about it. The site is meant to be broad but you are absolutely right that there needs to be a focus so that users can use the site more easily and have an idea of what to do. Looks like I have a lot of work to do lol.

To me, I believe that with some time, and work to improve the site based on user feedback, and with some more users, the site will begin to become useful and a unique experience for users. I will change the collabrr thing to posting lol and fix the links issue. There is a slight glitch in the drag-drop in chrome, which I will fix. I do agree about the interface, and I will address that. Really appreciate the feedback 27182818284.

Currently it has less users, but building a site takes time. You can post a comment and check back later if you please. The point is that if you want, you can interact in real time within topics. You can also bump other people's topics to talk about them. This allows those users to check back later and review other people's interactions in their topics.

As for spam and hate speech, their is a standard report topics icon, and obviously it is the job of the admin to monitor activity. Additionally you can prevent people from commenting in your topics by 'banishing them'. This feature can be accessed by reviewing another user's page by clicking on the other username.

I will eventually add ads but I would like to receive feedback first to help fix issues and build site content before I can even get approved for an ad service.

Thanks a lot edo, really great feedback. I am the creator of that site.

1. Any specific suggestions out of curiosity?

2. Realtime Digg is not really unique, if you have any other suggestions, lol I would love to hear them because it takes me forever to think of these things, and I really want to involve intelligent people like yourself in the building process.

3. If I remove the login requirement, don't you think it could get way too chaotic, and invite spammers to have their way with the site?
