So, what will make this place more fun?

Nobody posts anything even somewhat controversial. Nobody argues or fights anymore. Nobody rocks the boat at all... lest the ban hammer cometh down upon them.

Oppression makes the board very vanilla. And it's been that way for awhile now.



Definitely not this.

Any more contests on here and I'm going to start shooting new members for sport.
This. All this

Things will liven up, many people around this time of the year don't like to think.
What threads on here lately have actually required people to "think"?

"What is your favorite color?"
"What does water taste like to you?"

This; a thousand times this.

I'm not saying it should be a free-for-all; but maybe if certain restrictions were loosened up a bit, we could have a more spirited forum.

Conflict is fun.

I'm not privy to why different people have gotten banned. But yeah, some of the more "interesting" posters have been executed since I've been here. And let's face it, crazy people are hella fun. Now that's the "regular" members. But IMO, what we're really missing now are the OCSM's who used to post here, but for whatever reason, no longer (or seldom) do.

My thoughts: fewer political/religious threads and more OCSM activity in Talk. I'm trying to encourage more of the women on Dreamnet to come over here and post. They have their own board, but they're a smart, sexy, fun group of gals and I think they'd like it here.

I've seen a lot of whinging and moaning about this place being boring. So what do you suggest to liven the place up?

Open season on LurkingDirk's ass? Setting BlueBalls and Stan up for a TELEVISED nude jello wrestling match? Videos of my busting Ander's balls with my brand new video recorder that I got for Sinterklaas?

Suggestions please.

(if push comes to shove I can go and unban WTC7 and BaconSalt)

I had to come in here and fix that. BlueBalls and I have nude jello wrestling matches every Wednesday night. I thought Anders would have told you that. He licks the winner clean. Roald may or may not know about it, since he stands in the corner like that kid at the end of The Blair Witch Project.

As for what to do for fun...honestly, sometimes forcing fun can do more damage than good. Every board goes through its highs and lows. Things were jumping for a bit a little while ago with the introduction of a new troll, but stupidity will only entertain for so long - mainly, because stupidity can only be creative for so long. The board will bounce up again.

OCM's are great but what do they provide besides spam?
/just asking

Fair question. True enough, in the case of some, that's all they provide. But when I first came here a couple of years ago, there was a number of OCSM's who just chatted... just like "regular" members. We still have several who just like to chat about various issues. And if not for the pink letters, I wouldn't know they were OCSM's. Even when I don't agree with them on a particular topic, more often than not, they're people who I'd have a drink with and discuss a topic in real life - very much like some of the regular members here. They very seldom promote their sites or activities in the Talk section. Personally, I rather enjoy most of the OCSM's - nude pics aside. If there is a discussion about the adult industry, I pay a lot more attention to what Jane, Jinxy, Spexy, Chica, Sabrina, Tia or some others have to say than some 21 year old guy who just watches porn clips, and all of a sudden, he thinks that he's a porn industry expert. Let's say I want to make my (secret) dream of producing and directing a porn movie happen. How much would that cost and how would I go about doing it (without having to deal with scam artists)? I'd rather hear from one of the OCSM's or Approved Content Owners than some guy who just feels like giving me his opinion.

I know she basically did it to win a contest, but one of the most interesting threads that I've seen since I've been here was the Bree Olson "Ask Me Anything" thread... and the copycat threads that came after it. Nothing against the guys here (or the guys pretending to be girls), but I like having interaction with females (especially on an adult forum). And since not that many (actual) girls join FreeOnes as regular members, I'd like to see the pool of OCSM's who participate in the Talk section grow, not shrink. I think that would be one thing that would make this section more interesting and active.

I jump into economics/business threads because that's my thing. On occasion, I'll jump into a political thread, mainly for shits & giggles anymore... since most horses have been thoroughly beaten to death. And I read the general interest and history threads because they're usually interesting. But on a porn board, I think the more girls, the better. :dunno:
 
You know what might make the board better? Less 'inside jokes' between the same 5 members in every thread. It hijacks way too many threads and derails them to the point of no return. If those 5 people want to try and outdo each other, or talk about so and so fucking so and so in the ass with whatever and then force them to drink the blood while so and so jerks off in the corner, do it on their profile or something. It's not even funny anymore. Oh? The OP/admin did the exact thing I'm complaining about? Forget I said anything!
 
I don't think unbanning crazy members will do it. We have enough trolls here. I think just declaring open season on the trolls might do it. Provide a daily list of people who are officially labelled trolls for that day, and there will be no consequences for absolutely ripping on them.

Also, STDiva smells like yak semen.

Respectfully, this right here is exactly the problem with this board:

http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?568321-I-Completely-Agree&p=6311811&viewfull=1#post6311811 - last post

Unlocking a thread for the sole purpose of warning (or daring depending on your viewpoint) people not to do something is pretty much a textbook example of a power trip. He even made threats after another moderator had settled the issue seven hours ago. Why the excess? Was it not clear after DOA's post informed everyone that such behavior would not be tolerated? Why did Georges feel the need to pile on?

(Side note: Red letters mean he's serious. Not correctly spelling negotiable is humorous.)

knows petras secret: she farted.
its not actually boring. one guy complains in an offensive way then someone gets mad that the thread got closed.

thats the excitement we're used to around here.


but you can put me down for the breaking balls sinterklaas recorder thing.

I have to agree with this one as well. This intervention was not necessary. Even the topic itself shouldn't have been closed IMO. The moderation team felt it as an attack, while I saw the first topic as a question from one of the board members to all the other board members, because he was not satisfied with what the board has become.
And now let's all be honest with each other. Daily threads like "serious question part eleven thirty" and ten new daily threads from luvsemlarge are not really helping it to make this board intresting. It's a sort of flaming. And I know, strictly they are not in violation with the board rules, but it's not constructive either. Perhaps a PM from the moderation team with a hint might help then. For instance, all these "serious question" threads, could all be collected in one single thread IMO. Being a moderator is more then just giving violations towards people or show your "mod-power". Sometimes a simple discussion with the member could do miracles and might solve a lot of "problems", but see problems then as irritation from other members.
Every single one has the right to say whatever he wants, after all, we are supposed to live in a free world, and freedom of speech is a part of it. But respect towards each other is the most important part in a discussion in between people, no matter if they are just board members, OCSM's, moderators or team members.
Just my humble opinion.

1) Get rid of all these trigger happy, goddamn mods.....too many of these fuckin' geeks who think they are forum police!
All I see these asshats do is jump all over each other to close a fuckin' thread...let people have their say (to a degree of course!)
2) Less gaywad banter between the same 4 or 5 toolbags in EVERY thread....nobody understands wtf you are talking about or cares.
