Thread: [suggestion] site changes

I agree, we need more regulars.

I also agree on expanding to more games, but I don't think the name change would do much.

The thing is, the theme also effects what the users think of the site. I'm not saying it's bad, but when you come from a site that has this:



as a background (which, I guarantee you, a lot of people will have seen before), it's really hard to adopt this theme. Especially if you have spent most of your time online at a site like 4chan, which is set up as an image board, it's still really hard to adjust.

The idea to change the name of the site is a bad one in my opinion. We should always be BuyPoe.com... make a name for ourselves rather then ramping off key words.

I agree with bringing in more games an even agree with letting hacks in. All up to davee though.



Davee has tried to change the site name before an its got shot down XD.





In my opinion I can't imagine logging on everyday to something other then BuyPoe.com

i know it would be hard to adjust, but if we can do it we can make new backgrounds and it will be way better. the name will help because buypoe means buying poe. makes younger gamers uncomfortable if they know its a marketing site. so if we even it out with gaming topics alone we could easily keep those types of members

and i know davee tried to change it mmorpgFTW but thats not really good. I guess we can keep the name. but if u don't agree with the name change dont vote no since you agree with the other things

I personally believe we should keep buypoe. That means a lot, and we're too attached to change it.

and i have nothing against this. I'm fine with leaving the name or changing it. my vote is no more worth than anyone elses. thats why this is a suggestion

I strongly agreed at once point on this, but I have to strongly disagree now. I actually bought the domain mmorpgftw.com to target all gamers, but BP is actually growing by approximately 5-10k visitors per month since May. I'm not saying its growing by registered members, but 5-10k more ppl visit the site than the month before.

Changing the domain name would hurt search engine visibility, site age factor among other things. Im also like buypoe.com domain name now. It grew on me.

so it looks like we want to change the forum balance but not the name. fine with me. are we going to do it?

By that Davee means each time he looks at the site stats his pants grow a bulge.

I think you hit it right on target.

I'm up for suggestions for ways to target other people genres, or bring other genres in. A few of us are actually beginning to build a wormhole for traffic to lead to buypoe.com using another forum that I'm currently building (not yet ready) but it's main point is to bring more traffic to BuyPoe.com and it should work pretty well.

The site's called: Jailbreak Forums - PS3, Iphone 4, xBox360 - Home, scored on the domain and jailbreaking gets millions of hits so it should grow prob faster than bp

Also anyone on the BP team is granted automatically on the Jailbreak Team
