Everyone loves giveaways.

It's doing pretty good. Sometimes change is bad...

Yes

4) How do you feel about the look and appearance of the forum?
It feels like a comfortable shirt.

5) Is there anything you feel that is missing from the forum?
No, the focus is fine. Allow larger pictures for uploads.

They are like Honey Badgers...

One additional observation. Whatever search tool you're using with this version of Vbulletin is without a doubt the worst search tool I've ever used on a forum or bulletin board. Most of the time it just doesn't return any results at all. I've tested this a number of times out of frustration by actually reading a thread in a specific forum, then searching for that same thread I just read and regardless of how I conduct the search I receive a no results found notice. I'd say invest some of that $10,000 in improving the forum search feature.

Save the money. I like it fine as is.

Start an auction side to the site. I'm tired of the BS at GB.

2. Make sales and other postings standard and required. If anyone wants to sell something, require item and price on the header. Make a standard order of items which should be filled out with all information. Half the post replies are asking for prices, pics, locations and other simple questions. Requiring a price on the header saves time and aggrivation of spending time looking over an item and realizing it is listed at 20% above retail.

5. It seems while reading comments that this site is dominated by a few people. I think it needs something to encourage everyone to participate.

Just my two cents

+1billion!

I thought there could be no way to improve on the site, but this is a brilliant idea!! Limit participation to texans only. Or better yet, limit participation to forum members only. I cant see the infrastructure being that expensive, Im pretty sure that once its set up, it will be completley autonomous.

Can you allow GIF's as avi's? I'm on a stang forum where everyone's allowed to have GIF avi's, but mods have to change them to GIF's for you. The non mod users can only upload normal pics unless you have a mod change it to a GIF by request.

This is wise. Look at what happened to MySpace, and what is always threatening to happen to Facebook. TGT is damn awesome already; be mindful of changes to "Improve" it.

Yeah, I wouldn't change it, but a "members only" auction setup would be a nice addition.

You know what else would be cool... How about a TGT exclusive hunting lease?

 

[Vaquero]

I been giving this some thought. The site is just fine as is. If ya got 10k burnin' a hole in yer pocket, make some donations on behalf of us. Wounded Warriors, Sherrif's Association, etc..... Lot's of good causes we can all get behind.
My 2 cents.

 

[TravRich]

It would be nice to have some shoots in several places around the state with the site sponsers out there

1) If you had $10,000, what would you do with the forum to improve the experience for everyone? (Ignore Operating Costs)
10,000 could fund one hell of a Yearly Shoot. Maybe rent out BOTW and put some things together? (competitons, MG shoots ect.)

2) If you could change one thing about TGT, what would it be and why?
More activities, shoots ect.


3) Do you feel that TGT has improved in the past year?
Greatly, yes

4) How do you feel about the look and appearance of the forum?
Good, but needs to let me use GIFs as avatars

5) Is there anything you feel that is missing from the forum?
For the love of god, Add a Long Distance section.

6) How do you feel about the current level of moderation and mod / admin response?
Above average, But we need mods to be more on the ball on moving threads posted in incorrect locations.


Above all....I like it here.

 

[tap&rack_TXinfidel]

+1 on the auction. Would be a great addition.

 

[Charlie]

Just a suggestion to consider having any offers in the "for sale" sections be required (or at least strongly recommended) to be made by PM rather that a post in the thread. I'd hate to see the problems assoicated with bidding become commonplace. I looked in "for sale" sections and didn't see anything that addresses this, but I may have missed it if is there. Just my two bits.

as improved in the past year?

5) Is there anything you feel that is missing from the forum?
chatroom like i said. umm thats it i think

Im cool with it. I mean this is the intertubes. there will always be jerks, trolls, and spamers comes with the media.

Nothing, I like the way it is.

I can only answer the first question because I just joined.

but If I had 10,000 I would find someone on the forum with buku land and host a statewide get together/shoot. Use the money to provide cool stuff to shoot such as tannerite or remote controlled planes [or remote controlled planes filled with tannerite ] cool guns, guns mounted on vehicles, etc

You could do several different stations, conventional shooting, automatic weapons, flamethrowers, zombies, etc etc....If you wanted you could do an overnight/weekend type shoot where people could bring tents/campers and stay the night having a big campfire [assuming this dry spell were to actually go away, which it probably wont, but I can dream can't I?


You could also charge a small entrance fee and use the revenue to keep doing the shoot for years to come! $35 per person x 300 people would give you 10k to do it again next year!

I know I would come, and if you give me a few years, I will have land to host it!
