Fuck it ... after this:

I'm self-initiating.
I'm in for design. Who with me, and for what?
- sublocked0
It'd be nice if we could actually do that...or you could get on QBN pro :)
- mydo0
I won't design or code, but i will provide my full daily support.
like a cheer leader. (only male and 33)- Do you look hot in a skirt?Continuity
- no, but i have mad pom pom skillzmydo
- maikel0
I'm in.
I can help with wireframes, UI and PM.
Also can help with a business plan if we want to monetise the site, if at some point you think it's a good idea.- First order of business would be digging up all of the suggestion threads from the last couple of years, and picking out the ones that make the most senseContinuity
- ... that make the most sense.Continuity
- indeed. i think we know them by memory anyway.maikel

A wee bit cheeky, no?
One thing's asking for something respectable and, more importantly, easily-achievable (like having a mod review), another's sitting in someone's living room critting their decor and offering you and a bunch of mates to re-do everything from scratch, in your image.
If you're willing to put the work in, I'd suggest getting your own living room.
ok, this analogy really fell apart.
- respectable=respectf...
or somethingdetritus - Makes perfick sense to me, to be fair.set
- Cheeky, yeah, but I'd like to think it's one of my endearing qualities. ;)Continuity

All this place needs are global timezone covering mods who actually give a shit about this place.
- detritus0
ok, I'm fucking over my original position here, but..
the one thing I would integrate is some kind of Mod-polling system, so that no single lowest tier mod can delete a post or a thread (we've seen how that level of ability got abused by a certain ex-member), but if two mods highlight a post or thread to delete, it's gone.
Would be even cooler to integrate a polar weighting system in there too, so if two mutually-friendly mods highlight an article to delete, it requires a third member to check and administer. Conversely, if two opposing mods (say, I and Utopian) highlight something - then that fucker's gone, stat.
- Oops, did I just suggest myself for a lower tier mod role again? How gauche!
My infinite apologies.detritus - How gauche indeed, sir!Continuity
- gosh when you say "a certain ex-member" so many names come to mind.. its so funny!!e-pill
- Oops, did I just suggest myself for a lower tier mod role again? How gauche!

- We will have to re-instate the "neewwwwstodaaay" thingy -we can even ask dbloc for an horrible single.
There's so much talent in here (?!) that I am sure we will come up with something at least as good, with little less spam, mods, touch/mobile functionality...
I might be a little cheeky as you mentioned, but it escapes my mindo how ridiculous is that 'qbntouch' has nothing to do with qbn, just because 'they' could not bother to do an iphone friendly version...
- The jingle needs to come back. For sure.Continuity
- QBN jingle is found here:

Well, I slept on it, and I'm still good for it.
So, it's me and maikel so far. Anyone else?

- Pointy-haired boss, eh?Continuity
- georgesIII0

- eficks0

- detritus0

I wouldn't change a thing. I've been here for years and it's always been like this. Not better, not worse. We have our good days punctuated by a bad weekend here and there (now) where spammers have their time. Give the QBN gods a break, they can't and shouldn't be monitoring this every freakin' second.
Your memories should serve as examples of where new members have provided us with entertainment. I'm reflecting on the fffffound invite requests and the impromptu PSBs that inevitably result from new members being naive.
In a lot of ways QBN reflects the dirty realness of it all. It's open, just like the real public. Some people will choose to spit their gum on the ground, others will put it in the trash, and some will still go around trying to lecture people about chewing gum in the first place (this thread). Either way, it's life. Deal with it.
Just keep walking, smile and nod, and think of a better tomorrow.
- Well. You've got a point there.Continuity
- Well said chap :-)set

Solutions:
1) ignore spam threads (insulting and spamming the spam threads accepted)
2) report spam threads (hotline)
3) GTFO

seems like a lot of work. i'll take mono's route.
- Continuity0
Yeah, mono's right.
Go back to your homes, people. Nothing to see, here.
- maikel0
Maybe instead of being over enthusiastic we can buy some cheap Chinese Nikes...
I get mono's point and to a certain point I agree, but i think it could be fun see what comes up from a community-led attempt of re-designing the monster.
- Continuity0
I agree with both mono and maikel.
There's something cool about QBN's rawness, but I'd still like jump on a chance to re-design it; not to take away from its coolness, but hopefully add to it, you know?
- That 'like' is utterly and accidentally superfluous. Ignore it, pls.Continuity
