Hey Mecca heads!

As promised, here is the thread where you musclemecca members can share ideas for the new site, volunteer to help with graphics, coding, moderating, etc.

I would really like to make the new site really cool but I would also like it to be a place where you guys can get information, schedules, media, etc.

So lets have it! What colors do you like? What features do you want? Are there any new forums you would like added? This is your chance to really help shape the future of MuscleMecca. I am going all out on this.

I really hope you guys will help me come up with ideas.

Thanks,
Rich

we really need new active mods. more than anything.

a better placed media section.
a powerlifting/strongman section


black colour is mecca iconic so no need to change that...
new logo would be good contact member dilatedmuscle for that he suggested this change in the first place.

bring back the VIP vote-ins - that really encourages new members to post

bring back the bodybuilders teams.


ps: if I remember more i'll add.

Do the Opera and give all the members new cars :biggrin:
Ok, seriously if you could afford to then have a couple of guys on permanent basis cover contests on your (MM) own, do interviews etc... like Plumbo does! I know its expensive but thats the only thing (for lack of better word) lacking about MM

No offense dude but answers like that do not help anything. The site was hacked 3 times and the scri[pt needed to be upgraded for security purposes. In addition we had no shoutbox then and many other features that other members enjoy. The purpose of this thread is to make the site better...Besides, we are not looking for "good enough"..

Natzo--Thanks

The site will have 2 styles..one dark and one light. A couple people seem to not like the dark so we will have options.

The vote ins, etc..all good ideas and they will be incorporated into the new site.. Thanks

As natzo said, i proposed making a new logo.

I also worked on bodybuilder team labels a while back but never shared... here is an example of which i can incorporate the name of any bodybuilder someone wants to be in a team of.

How that isnt usefull? all natzo said was already 2 years ago.


we really need new active mods. more than anything. IT WAS ALREADY

a better placed media section. IT WAS ALREADY, SECTIONS CHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN
a powerlifting/strongman section OK BUT FIRST; WE NEED GOOD MEMBERS TO MANTAIN IT, remembering EL FREAKO. When he was here, he needed the section, not now.


black colour is mecca iconic so no need to change that...
new logo would be good contact member dilatedmuscle for that he suggested this change in the first place. IT WAS ALREADY A HD LOGO, NOT THIS LOW RES ONE

bring back the VIP vote-ins - that really encourages new members to post IT WAS ALREADY

bring back the bodybuilders teams. IT WAS ALREADY


Some members also complain of long loading times, and very dark background color. NEVER HAPPEND BEFORE....

To sum up, the forum as it was 2 years ago.
Sorry if you dont like things clear, or you werent here 2-3 years ago at MM's peak, but its the truth.




dont take my comment as a dull complain, but i think the way to recovery is repeat the success of the past.

Man...why do I bother??

When I came back to this site it was hacked and falling apart. There were database errors and there was barely anyone here. I don't know if it was 2 years ago but it sounds to me like you are basically saying everything I have done over the past 2 years has been a waste. If that is what you think than fine but this thread is to talk about things that can make the site better and not what you liked before..

Some people like features, some people don't. It is impossible to make everyone happy. Some people are never going to be happy no matter what is done.

Hey dont worry about it... no one said your efforts are not appreciated... fdelval basicaly wanted to say that he liked the features of website 2 years ago... and then you mistook what he said he went a little overboard to explain his point... but all of us who posted here have their heart in the right place.

Nobody here knows the hidden face of the forum, i dont know if it was hacked, dont know if you retyped the code from the scratch, but if you did it for the forum, thank you. But now, lets get the hands dirty again rebuilding from its current status.
Again, dont take it as personal, but if you find my post rude when i said "AS IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO", take Natzo's post.

MuscleMecca Today!!

I think it's time to work on site and leave the past!
Believe me, the person has not followed in the forum!
Will have their own reasons!

Believe me, I've been ready to leave everything!

But, I've tried to keep the site up to date!

It was not just copy and paste!

But even asking questions of officials and athletes in the sport!
Sending Invitations to BB pros to participate in the forum!

Let's look forward and finishes the discussion!

I think all we have somehow kept the forum!
And talkAdmin, has been emailing me very worried!
Because he has not had permission to do anything in the forum!
And has been waiting for Pain to upload these changes!

So I know TalkAdmin efforts!

And makes sure that today offers this wholeheartedly!
That's the best part!
No benefit behind his words!
In a world where everything is money!

Friends keep this great site!

Work together!
A big hug for everyone!

I've suggested that to Talkadmin, and I'm positive it will be included.

Make you a mod of that section would be great!

Any chance of getting the site on the forum runner app for iPad?
Cross post from KR. Not a bad idea to have our site available on smart phones, etc.

You've certainly done a lot to improve things. I remember that most mods were continuously deleting spambots, I deleted 60 accounts in one day at one stage. Tech actually turned off new memberships to stem the tide for a while.

I agree with the point on active members being Mods and VIPs. Most of the Mods are busy these days with the next stage in life, only checking in occasionally. We do need to promote newer guys and keep the cycle of life going on the forum.

Main thing I have noticed is that on some platforms this site loads very slowly. I don't know why that is, but I know a lot of people are having that problem. I have no problem at home or on mobile broadband, but at work broadband just doesn't like loading. Posting is quite often impossible.

Yeah i stopped posting 2 years ago and coming back its aweful quiet. Like any forum but you need members to actively particpipate in conversations. Mods need to have mixed bag of questions and little gimmicks to keep people chatting and arguing. I use to love fighting over high volume vs low volume etc. It gets heated but everybody gets in and has a say.

I would love to see you interview members about their training instead of pro's. i don't want some juice junky telling me about their 20 set bicep routine which i can't recover from!

Post controvesial articles to stir the mob

Mecca use to be my favourite place to visit once upon a time. I have been on hiatus, all my fault, but i'm back and keen as **** to charge the forum, its gotta be a member driven effort. The features on the site are fine!
