    Communities should be 'friendly' and help each other.

    This site has some very dominant characters who are rude and have an attitude of 'fuck you' I can shout louder and then they go off on rants.

    Within reason these rants can prove entertaining and occasionally have some real gems. But filtering through the vicious / childish language means that some just move on to 'other green forums'. If that is what LET wants to promote, it will continue to attract drama and continuous stupid memes's of popcorn.

    Let us have a factual (as best we can) site, with deals from RELIABLE & TRUSTWORTHY providers.

    LET should take responsibility for hosting providers and saying that purchasers should do 'due diligance / research' should really be what this site is all about.

    What you are talking about is a fuckin' boring-ass forum.
    We still are a community, but without all the dramas this forum would be half-dead.
    Oh and by the way you are not tied to LET, no one is stopping you from creating a thread:
    "Please delete my account, I think LET is stupid"
    And then just move on to another green forum.
    You will get bored pretty quickly, at least I did when I got banned.

    This is a community and should reflect what the owners want and what the community (as a whole) want.
    It is up to the owners to decide if they want

    'fuck you' I can shout louder and then they go off on rants

    It is NOT up to an individual to say what is or is not the way to go, so I am happy to give my views and can respect other views.

    @rcy026 this is probably something @FAT32 can help with because he has mad coding skills :)

    @msatt we have been working the past couple months to cool the temperature a little bit with personal attacks but also make sure this is a thriving and exciting place to spend time. We haven't gotten it perfect yet but the work continues

    We definitely don't want the forum to be boring!

    Welcome back and follow the rules!

    @PandoGulf said: @jbiloh Thanks for your continues effort to improve LET.

    I have a coupe of thoughts here for you:

    1- Now in regard to the number of posted toturial in the community, they're quite low compared to the number of offers and drama thread about providers.

    I believe there is a significant room for improvements can be done to encourage community members input in toturials and howtos. Actually these are what improves LET contents.

    An immediate action would be to recognize the contributers by at least changing their titles from member to something else like Mentor /Sr. Member/ Developer / VIP whatever set them apart from those who don't contribute in toturials.

    Great suggestions -- I really like the idea about the tags to recognize community contributions. Will work on this.

    @jbiloh can you add a switch in the setting that changes the way that links open.
    I always open posts in a new window, oh and btw add a link at the bottom of the page to lowendtalk, it's annoying to scroll back up.

    Why not simply the title Contributor? It could be used for anyone that contributes in any way, be it tutorials, interviews, donations or whatever.
    I think it's a really good idea.

    Yep that works. In the past we've had a hard time attracting folks to contribute content. How would you envision it working?

    I am a little unclear on your request about a link at the bottom of the page.

    You have the LET logo on top of the page, and if you click it, it redirects you to lowendtalk.com make something like that on the bottom of the page. It's kinda annoying scrolling back up just to get back to lowendtalk.com

    Ok makes perfect sense.

    "Back to top of page" has been added to both the desktop and mobile version of the site.

    Could you actually make it Back to top of page | Lowendtalk

  • Our LET accounts should be bundled with a free vps, money back guarantee.

    It's called NanoKVM :)

    A button that can automatically set your theme to Dark Mode, instead of the stupid Hex Code option.

    I like the Hex Code, but I am too lazy to change it.

    It already exists.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    @pierre your remarks made me think that I needed to update the page for Dark Theme configuration with some directions. See now: https://www.lowendtalk.com/page/dark-theme-config

    Whoops! Yeah, I didn’t notice it, thanks for adding the screenshot.

    Something else is to use all the extra space on the sides. Maybe add a cool design or something else, huge waste of space.

    Ah ok. I thought you meant the side bar but what you mean is the background outside the main area of the site. Ok, will consider it.

    I'm always curious why users get banned. Maybe add a ban reason on their profile when visited.

    We make a best effort to do this but could probably do better.
