TR's Return- Issues, Ideas, and more Thread

[sneakerheadshady]

Ok, so we have all been wanting many things on this site to be changed, but TR never/ rarely comes on, and nothing changes. So, recently a few of us (or more for all i know) have been talking about it. Off the top of my head: Charlotte, Horsebot, Raul, Notalius. I tweeted at TR 2 times about 4 days ago. He responded to both my tweets, telling me to email him. I emailed him, and he responded:

Hello!
Yeah, so a bunch of members have been saying that they wish sajn had full reign and ability to do things like update servers, change banner, etc.
I decided to tweet at you in hope of response. So I'm also interested in hearing your side of it. I know the forum isn't dying, but there's lots that could be fixed, and many people think you abandoned us... Thanks for replying to my tweets!

Hey Jared,

Thanks for writing to me. The brutal truth is, I have very little time outside of my work and other priorities. Running a server takes a fair bit of skill, and I'd happily given SajN more freedom if the skill was there. I've been working in an around programming, server administration, security etc for years and am still scratching the surface - handing over the keys simply wouldn't work just yet. That said, I of course do feel bad for not being around more - TRshady was my first ever web project and I love the place. I'm going to get in touch with SajN before the weekend and will hear what the biggest issues are - will see what we can do to improve matters. I'd love for SajN to be able to handle it all, I've attempted in the past given access and providing some guidance - I'm not holding back power for the sake of it, I trust the guy. Seeing as you took the time to write in, I'm going to get back to you same time next week with what the result and actions from our conversation is.
cheers!

Thanks so much for responding. It means a ton. And I totally get where your coming from. Hopefully at least someday sajn or someone can at least take some of the responsibility in order to keep the site alive. I totally respect your lack of time, and your reasons. Happy holidays

thats all so far. I'm going to update the OP with a list of things we want changed, and hopefully something actually happens. Feel free to suggest ideas in here.

Proposed Changes:
1. New banner
a) Possible Graphics Section contest to determine the new banner design
2. Possible layout change
3. Server updates of some kind, to fix gateway errors

Powerful, but what should we write in here ? I mean, we can go on and post what we would like to change, but unless TR comes back it ain't happening. And lets say he would comeback and fix some shit, we all know he would leave again and problems would surface eventually again.

he said he would talk to me next week

A new layout, no more gateway errors

ideas for a layout, and yes the servers need to be fixed

No but really, thanks for all your work, Sneak! I have an idea for a banner, but I lack the technical skill to attempt it. I was thinking about something from the beginning of the Rap God video.

nice and colorful

A new layout, no more gateway errors

I think me and Sajn had a convo a few months ago about a new layout. I was ready to pay about 100 - 200 bucks for a new layout if some members add to that too. I still am, but the idea kinda fell apart

well maybe if something comes out of this we will actually get it done...

I'm dying for a new look around here. A banner and layout would be fantastic. 504/502 have been rare for me lately, actually! bigray mentioned SL's layout and I agree, something like that would be A++, just make the width the size of ours and change the bright orange to something a little less harsh on the eyes and that would be heaven imo. I really want less white, its too harsh on the eyes.

Too bad SajN just went away, he's gone for a few weeks I think.

[momentsgolden]

Well that was good. Hope some changes do happen

Just wanna say, with the new layout, spare some thought for the third world users with old Nokia phones. I can barely visit ktt or any other "sophisticated" website on my phone
