Hello Satanosphere denizens.

I've been thinking it's time to do some revamping around these parts. I wouldn't want to do anything drastic, though, without asking the teeming unwashed masses for their advice before I actually did anything, so post your suggestions below. I'm all ears.

Some possible changes:
  • Ditch the voting queue.
  • Allow images
  • Quit worrying about section-only stuff so much
  • Possible color scheme changes
Anything else? How do you all feel about those ideas?

That's my first suggestion. It's your website, make it as hard and sick and unwelcoming as you want. Shockwave chatbox, heavy Java navigation buttons...

Make your slogan be: "WE WILL CHANGE AND YOU WILL REGRET IT!"

Images are cool. So are small vids. If you allow those you might want to check how Seattle Independent Media does their chit otherwise you might get people posting crap like "guy fucks chicken." Literally. Cold Fusion......hmmmmm.

the queue doesn't work the way it would on a site that had, maybe, more than seven core users who live in the same (give or take) area code. Notice that it's always the same people who vote on it, with a few more coming out of the woodwork only if it stays stuck for a few days? And it has to be utter crap to not get posted anyway. Besides, unless there are many more silent lurkers than I'm aware of, once it's posted we've all read it already.

That, or at least disable the "abstain" button if possible.

Otherwise I agree with Quacky, you're the one who puts time and money into this site, do whatever you want. Complainers can get their own damn site.

first of all, it should be more obvious that Rodeo Kill is the official satanosphere band.

second, while i have internet cable here in my swamp dungeon, i sometimes travel far away for business purposes. this thing would load SO freakin' slow if there were images and flashy shit. some people actually PAY by the minute to access the 'net, and it's bad enough to get a sharp stick in the ass without making it all splintery.

i love the color scheme, but i'm also a fan of change. just don't make it a white background - that's why i never go to that kurowhatever site.

also, there should be more barbecues and pizza parties.

and i should have a column about something. the unwashed would be ALL about ratdude's very own column about something.

i think that's it, for now. thanks for asking!

But I kinda like the color scheme. Otherwise, I think we trust your judgment.

And I'm not just saying that as one of the first fifty registered SOS users, aka "purists." It just don't feel right to change the color scheme.

I submit my name as programmer for the SOS satellite radio station, however.

Satanosphere requires a black background. Any other colour would require dropping "satan" from the name, and "osphere.com" just doesn't cut the mustard.

People'd think it was a bunch of fat Irish, or something. Which it may be. What the fuck do I know? Can we see a show of pudgy little gaelic hands?)

I like the color scheme.

We need more writers for sections.

Lower the threshold of the voting queue.

We have had images, mustache growers. But to have too many images would bog the whole thing down bad.

I'm behind ya in whatever you want to experiment with.


Now, how much will you pay? But wait, there's more...

let me say that again, I don't think you got it:

DO NOT CHANGE COLOR SCHEME!!!!!!!!

Ok.  Yeah, lose submission cue and add pictures.  though maybe they'd need supervision.  Give the core base users editor-type power to weed out the inappropriate files, or at least hide them.

Maybe preserve sections so you can sort/search and see them on the front page at a glance, but put all submissions on the front page.

This site is called Satanosphere so the white on black is appropriate me thinks.

I didn't know this was the Rodeo Kill Site. I thought they had one already......psyche!
