I can't say I have any technical issues with shoutwire, other than the loads of popups/ad's/etc that never go away. I have to agree with the fact that theres half the amount of users there was a few months ago, and that was about a quarter of when it was on torrentspy, but since its nothing but bullshit here anymore (what, on avg 4-5 eds a day now????) i remember when shit would hit like 200 shouts, now if i see it past 50 im astonished.... oh well my shift to reddit and other user submitted news sites has begun ever since the whole new management deal-io as its the only true way i can say "FUCK YOU" to the people who bought and ruined shoutwire.

Speak for yourself, dumbass. If you want to be a part of a porn-only website, go and comment on the videos on Spankwire.

"If people are driven away by NSFW content, they're prolly not the type of people we want here"

Well, that's big fuck you from the #1 commenter here to you, and maybe if you'd noticed, the #1 editor here also isn't that fond of NSFW content.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the people looking for NSFW content that are not what we're looking for here, as they can't have more than 2 brain cells between them and are not an asset for the integrity of our discussions.

Not too mention the majority of SW users (we've raised the question about NSFW content her before), and an overwhelming majority of the staff members. Yeah, and I'd bet companies (the non-fraudulent actually good ones that we really need) would really want to advertise here if we went "hardcore".

Remember what happened after Torrentspy had to shut out American users? It became plastered in NSFW and porn ads. Worked great, didn't it?

I noticed that the tigerdirect and other computer-related ads disappeared.

Why? I actually clicked on those, if for no other reason than to help generate some revenue (however little it was)

Don't be totally tyrannical about getting rid of ads. If you do have ads, make sure they are at least relevant: try to have it so that the ads in each section have something to do with the article (adsense style)

So if im looking at a gaming article, i see gaming related ads. if its business, i see business related ads. et cetera, et cetera. So at least what ads we see are relevant to what we are reading.

i'm definately against the NSFW content-beyond what is in the picture section (which you guys might want to help filter for those of us who are behind corporate fascist firewalls and traffic monitoring systems). Use google if you want to get your spank on, why should Shoutwire do someone elses work for them?

What about those mini-flash ads? they are a bit obtrusive, but they just flash on screen and fly off to the side, where you can close them and move on-a bit like pop0ups, but they are prettier at least.

"If you want to keep the stupid ten comments per page idea, how about putting the option to raise it to unlimited on the front page."

Odd. I went to my profile, changed it from "10" to "unlimited", and that's that. I have never had to change it again.

The comment preference is cookie based, so if you delete the SW cookie, you'll have to re-select you comment preference.

Also, FF users who get a blank page when you first visit SW - LOAD YOUR PROFILE PAGE FIRST. Works for me.

"And for gods sake higher some help for the coder of this site"

We have a plan...more as it unfolds.

I don't get the point of switching from unlimited comments per page, to a multiple choice in the first place! It seems so pointless! So please advise. I've gone to my options for firefox and made Http:www.shoutwire.com and exception for deleting cookies. Is that what I had to do to keep unlimited comments permanently? When you say "never had to change it again do you mean absolutely never, or never until the next time you log into Shoutwire?

"Ban NSFW + all pictures with the word FAIL in them."- mrbig4545

Hell yes.

Also, Is there someone in admin who is responsible for advertisement? Are they searching for advertisement opportunities or accepting what falls in the lap? I'm not being sarcastic, I really don't know. I've suggested link adverts to other popular sites that people would check out...egghead or many others. I don't really think people ever click on porn ads.

micmac988 Premature Splooging
Ok, ladies, and some of you gents, this is for you.At some point in time EVERY guy has cum too soon. And it IS because he has a problem; over stimulation.Next to basement dwellers, married men have one of the worst sex lives. For married men it's a case of familiarity breeding contempt. For the basement dwellers, it's just lack of social skills and the sight of real live boobs.Women, if a guy cums quickly, it's a sign that he's very anxious to rock your thigh clam a...
