Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Improvements And New Features...and Bugfixes Soon!

[John Freak]

Melon members! I have great news ...!

Some are new here, some are here for a while.. years... longer..! I m really glad that in the past years we have built up this community. We have some thousands of users every day and the community is growing daily. But with time (as you all noticed, i m sure) some websites features are not working as it should..

.... so I decided to reprogram the core code again.

Don't worry - all past votings, comments and photos, thousands of database entries we will keep and dont touch it!

So what are we working on?

- User login system
- User admin area
- Stats fixes / Rating fixes
- New picture categories

.. this all will take some weeks...

But in the meantime if you have any wishes or ideas what we can implement further, please comment in this thread.. or send me a PM. (PMs with your boobs are preferred!)

So let me know your wishes!!

I will keep you updated here in this thread.

What kind of new categories are you thinking John?
Does this mean a potential move from an R-rating to an X-rating??

I like the way your mind works.

[John Freak]

Surprise surprise ... but we will move it carefully step by step to x-rating as long as the members support this.

I can write that down for later.. this will take longer to implement and test. The PMs are working without any problems?

If I may put in my two cents . I believe the ratings should go no lower than 5 . That would help some of the down rating crap that goes on . If girls are brave enough to post pics of their gorgeous bodies on here they should be protected against haters or trolls .

Ok thx for your feedback... I will think about it.. so it means that the rating score will only be between 5 to 10, right? Does this makes sense? Just asking

IMO yes . and it is just my opinion . Happy to hear what others think .

[Snoopy05]

Personally I think if you switch the ratings system from 1-10 to 5-10 all it will do is make 5 the new 1. If you really want to get rid of the down voting phenomenon that plagues every ratings site put in a ratings system that doesn't carry any negative meaning. Instead of a number system replace it with "I like this" "this is hot" "this is smoking hot". Then the melons are given 'scores' that range from "this is really liked" to "this is smoking hot".

None of those ratings give a negative feeling. :2cents:

Only going as low as 5 would lessen the effect a hater / troll can have on any individual score .

Then why not have it between 90 and 100 or grade A-F? Making the rating system gradated regardless of the values will still make it vulnerable to the effects of haters. 5 will just be the "people hate me" number instead of 1. There's no way around it when you have a low-high rating system. It is the unfortunate consequence of having a website called "ratemymelons". If you want to get rid of all the bad feelings associated with low ratings then do away with a graduated ratings system. That's why I suggested a different way to rate. Regardless of the outcome you're still "liked a lot". The only negative would be if your picture doesn't get enough votes to register a rating.

Can we have an icandoit-scale?

John,
I am curious what's going to be done to promote the site and hopefully bring the ladies back here for us all to see? In all honesty its been getting sparse as of late and many of the women have backed away from what I'm told is needless bashing or people sabotaging their ratings, etc. Even some of the long timers eventually faded away. Love to see this being a lively boobie lovers site again.

[John Freak]

Stevie,

thats a very good question.. well, I have been in the adult industry since more than 12 years now and I can tell you that building up a rate my whatever website is not as easy as building up a TGP website from the scratch in the early 2000.

I have some ideas how to bring this website to a next level, but first of all - and that has really my priority - is fixing all the bugs, giving it a slightly new design, and using another ways of detecting excessive sabotaged ratings. This is in progress at the moment, so I can say that we are rebuilding the core engine of the site what I should have done some years ago.

The second big topic is promoting this kind of a website. This is not an easy task.. its easy to get some men to a boob site.. just place a banner with some boobs and nipples on a high traffic website and you have the traffic. But how we can attract this kind of website to women? In my opinion the best way to do this is to try getting more organic traffic that comes from search engines. I m speaking about complex link exchanges, keyword analysis, promoting it over social media channels. There are some experts out there.

And finally what we all know... "word of mouth" advertising... ... Guys!!! Mostly all of you are working somewhere.. in offices, in restaurants... bars, pubs.. and you all have female colleagues! Speak with them about Ratemymelons.. ask them to register here and upload their boobs ... 3 out of 10 will do this

You're already tired of me stalking you?

[kizzykat]

You're already tired of me stalking you?

Haha. You stalk me? Mmmm. I didn't know. I need to be more aware of my surroundings I guess.

you kidding me? Freaky stalks everyone. Even me!

And here I thought the 3 am groping you did last night was on purpose. I'm disappointed

I'd try clearing your cookies and Internet cache. You might be able to get it to work then. The invisible button is only located when logging in from the forum and not under the member controls login. Hope that helps. Might also be one of the bugs John is working on.

Edit: nevermind. It looks like being able to log in as invisible is no longer an option (at least on mobile). Every login button leads to the same login screen and "invisible" isn't an option
