What The?...

88man · 03-31-2006, 05:21 AM

I recently visited Thunders today and that website has grown. There are so many different forums it's kindof intimidating yet cool. Having said that I would like to maybe see if we could get our betterman.com to have a little more variety like theirs. Dont get me wrong i love this site more than there's just for the fact that we can all get straight information. A real boost might be a chatroom, thats something they dont have, possible? I think that we should possibly try to compete with them. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. P.S. Is there anything that we might be able to do?

What kinds of forums do they have besides a Spanish forum? Before we start adding all sorts of stuff, may I say that we value quality over quantity?

Well how about adding some videos?

For example, would love to see someone demonstrate 3 part dries and V-jelqs as I never really felt I got those no matter how many words were written to describe them.

I am sure there are lots of members who would benefit from a clearly defined section with just demo videos and pictures. Of course putting the descriptions clipped out of some of the threads in there would be perfect as well.

A bit of work I know, but might save the moderators lots of time answering questions in the long run.

I would have to agree with the demo videos. I think we could all benefit from those. Has anyone approached Rob about these?

I've been promising for the longest time to do a video on the 3-part dries. I'll work on it this weekend, send it to JP for his approval, and if he likes it I'll post it in the advanced techniques thread.

Thunders is a pretty large place and a number of very dedicated people keep it running with all its different forums. There are forums for posting political, humor, pumping, hanging, newbie, tutorials... I spend more time there for the humor and the "comedy of the human animal" than for PE advice. I usually post similar things at both forums when I have a problem or question relating to PE.

All in all, it's not too different than here. With over 50,000 members, threads move faster than here. It's good because there's always new input but then it's harder to keep up.

There is a chat there which is a nice touch to communicate in real time with other members.

One of the biggest things I prefer about betterman is that all attachments are thumbnails so you have an idea what the attachment is before you open it. The arcade here also provides a nice mental break when you need it.

Both sites have some pretty unique characters & I enjoy both sites. I don't think that the two sites compete, they are similar but have their unique differnces which make each one special.

I agree that the 3 part dry jelqs would be a good video. I have tried them but really never knew if i was doing them right. Would all the video tutorials be in one spot?

They would be linked through the Advanced Techniques thread.

Ah, i see. Do you think it would be possible for a chat room? Would anybody go? Does anybody want one? Or Do we need one? Uber what to you think we could do?

A chat room is possible. You would have to talk to Rob since he handles that stuff. I wouldn't mind giving it a trial period and if it goes well we could make it a permanent part of the site.

Pardom me for sounding naive, but isn't Betterman.com a chatroom?

GRX · 03-31-2006, 10:04 PM

I believe people are talking about a real-time chat like Instant Messaging.

JonPop · 03-31-2006, 10:11 PM

That was my understanding also. But, does Rob want to devote the resources to do this?

10 · 03-31-2006, 10:30 PM

I don't know. To me, our forum here is a chat room.

10 makes a good point. Besides, the benefit of conversing in the forum is that the conversation is saved in case someone wants to read it later.

It looks like I've put Jen's standards through the roof.

Hey Uber hurry up with that video man. I can get myself off thinking about Jennifer getting herself off watching the damn thing.

My roommate has been around all weekend. He told me on Friday that he might go home for the weekend, but he didn't.

What a turd! The video would benefit all of us whether jenn is getting off or were learning something.
