I added links for totse.MeetUp.com, bookmarking an article using del.icio.us, and submitting a page to digg.com to the top of every page. (The pages are still being transferred to the live site -- it will take a few hours before all pages are updated.)
Hopefully I fixed all of the bugs. It took a while to get the code to work with the BBS system.

Well, at least it is an update. If only you were around more. Why are you gone so often? People must know. We know you don't have a real life, as that is impossible for any totse member (especially the creator) to have.

We need a new forum. However, since most modern forums use a MySQL database, it would be really hard to convert the current flat file database to MySQL. I say we just delete this forum and install something like UBB.threads. Screw all of the converting databases and lost information, we can deal with a few years loss of information for a new forum software.

Also, please let me know any way I can digitally send you the $110 discussed in the last thread.
I'd much rather NOT send cash in the mail. Last time I did that, it never got to its destination.
If theres any possible way I can do this without sending cash in the mail, please let me know.
I second the use of a new forum. This software is very dated.

Jeff,
As you may be aware there is an anti-terrorism publication in Australia. It has an image of someone on the internet...The website the user is looking at is clearly Totse. The image makes up a 'bigger picture' in piecing together a way of stamping out terrorism in Australia.
Assuming you gave no permission to use such a picture couldn't you approach this in some legal sense. Even if it is public domain or whatever you could probably argue that since the creation of the publication visits to totse.com have boomed and increased costs in maintaining the sites active status. Sue for damages?

I'm worried that digg will end up crashing Totse. Loads of sites go down because they get dugg, they have a hell of a lot of users and it can place a strain on bandwidth, especially if people start digging any old thread they find funny.
If I post here, this means my screen name appears about 2 or 3 feet down of scrolling from Jeffs.

All i can say is that it looks a bit bunched up.
But if the money keeps totse up, then it's all for a good cause.
Although I don't care much for the ads, I think that we should still be thankful that totse exists in the first place, and that Jeff continues to keep it running. Whoever called him a sellout should be ashamed of themseles.

It seems to me that if you're willing to take money from advertisements, then you should be willing to take money from Totse Members - hence a "donate" button.
Only seems fair to me. I'd rather send money than get the ads.

Looks like Jeff's running low on cash.
Jeff, totse.com is really going down hill lately. As I am sure you have heard this before, it is really true now, this is coming from someone who has been on totse as a regular member since 2000. I have seen totse go up at times, and be really low at others. Right now, totse is probably as low as it can get.
Recently, I was checking out totse and a few other sites that are well known. SomethingAwful, The Best Page in the Universe, and a few others. I noticed that both The Best Page in the Universe AND SomethingAwful have MUCH more traffic than totse. Even though I really hate SomethingAwful, they have a great system of not having ads and redirects. They pay around $2,000 per month for bandwidth. They actually make money from user accounts. If the forum software was updated, and user accounts could be purchased (premium accounts, not all accounts should be paid) then totse could probably make a lot of money from that alone. Please, if you could, take off the "Sponsered Links" as well as the redirects. The Sponsored Links make totse load even slower than it does already, and the redirects means you have to load even ANOTHER page just to see the content.
Now, I am one of the most loyal fans of totse, and have loved it since I found it. Lately I have been posting a lot less and even considered leaving totse until things were corrected. This would be a bold move from me, as I have grown up on totse, and owe a lot of thanks to the users here for teaching me a lot more than most schools could teach me, but lately the ads and redirects have been so annoying that I really am coniderding find a new home on the internet.
Jeff, if you do read this, please take it into consideration and hopefully make some changes to totse.

RIGHT ON!
I'd be glad to give a little money to the ol' &T if we could ditch those stupid ads.
Yeah, those ones right there ---->
And those stupid redirects. Although I find it funny when I click on a thread like "LOL STUPID NIGGARS" and get redirected to the "racism song" ad.
ArgonPlasma2000
2006-10-08, 05:01
Something that has REALLY made me suspect that the ads have made an extremely slippery slope is that every type of them is percieved universally as bad.
A sizable portion of the userbase of totse knows how to get free porn and that pheremones dont work (as seen in several threads several months ago in S&A).
I am really afraid that the adverts arent going to stop and this is the tip of the iceberg.
Perhaps its just me, but being on totse has made me know that "Tina's free webcam" is nowhere near as good as empornium and puretna.
2000 free products? Totse has made me believe that no one offers anything for free on the web anymore. DHL doesnt even send their boxes half the time...
Real Sex Pheremones have been shown not to work.
Dirty Little Secrets.... I dunno
Ahh, here we are. Most of totseans can probably use these: Find Local Girls for Sex and Help Getting Laid?
Sorry for the cynicism, but thats what totse makes you.
=============================================
Its sad, but I think its true, this advertisement system isnt going to stop, and in my opinion, it only cheapens the look of our beloved site.
When I come to totse, I see old software, but its unique in that respect. UBB ensures that sigs and avatars are never paraded like your posts should be.
In anther respect, perhaps our software is analogous to modesty and others with "features" is whoredom in today's society?
It does pain me to say it, but I also think that if we were to move on to a user-supported system with premium accounts, that we still wouldnt get enough userbase simply because of our old software.
I think its entirely possible. Look at SG. The normal age of ttse has declined from years past. Pre-18's also tend to have no money, so no support there.
*sigh*
Back to ads: first we had the banners, then the side ads, and now full-blown redirects. This is telling me that the situation has only gotten worse.
In one respect thats a good thing, as it means that if Jeff's income has been the same, then our userbase has grown greatly.
That could also be bad: Jeff's income has declined and our userbase is still growing.
Whatever course of action you decide on, Jeff, please listen to people who sincerely want to help out. Much of your userbase would be glad to help you out with subscriptions.
And can you please let normal admins control registration? pweeeeeeeese? http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

Check Paypal's Acceptable Use Policy. Specifically the sections on "Encouraging Illegal Activities" and "Mature Audiences".
I would argue that the pages on totse do NOT encourage illegal activities, but somehow I doubt that Paypal corporate would see it that way.
Regarding the part on "Mature Audiences", we'd have to delete the entire Erotia section to comply with that.
Just because the First Amendment says that we have a right to free speech doesn't mean that companies like Paypal are required to do business with us if they don't like what we're saying.

I don't know why they're being locked. When a moderator asked me about Meet Up way back when, I said "That's kinda cool."
I would guess that one or more moderators are concerned that someone is using the "totse" name in a way that could get this site in trouble. I agree that that is a concern in a lot of cases, but in the case of Meet Up I'm not too worried about it. Getting together face-to-face has been a totse tradition since the very beginning. Meet Up helps facilitate more face-to-face meetings, and I think that's a good thing. (Hence the link at the top of every page.)

Money is always helpful. The people who host the servers don't accept love offerings, burnt animal sacrifices, or glass beads. They want cash to keep hosting the servers.
I'm not quite sure how you reach that bright red conclusion though. I'm using del.icio.us and Digg to help promote the site. I do things to help promote the site, that's one of my many jobs. More users doesn't necessarily mean more money though, it just means more people sucking more bandwidth.
A more reasonable conclusion might be that I just got a better deal on more bandwidth.

totse has always had a mix of the profound, the profane, and the pornographic. At one time the BBS had ads for porn sites on the banner and sidebar. If these links are offending your good taste I'm sorry, but those advertisers pay for the free service that YOU USE.
Are you sure you don't have trouble getting laid? The ads are targeted to a precise audience, so if those are the ads you're seeing...

If you need money, either accept the usual payments (paypal, M.O., CC, or whatever), or devise some way to keep it anonymous, or the money flowing directly to an account exclusively for totse. A very large percentage of members would be more than willing to contribute to the cause and then some, including me.
What pisses me off is that if I EVER got rid of the ads and instituted some sort of membership policy (which I am seriously considering) I would get ten times as much hate mail from the user base whining "How can you charge me $1? Waaaa! totse should be FREE for EVERYONE!"
There are a lot of things I would like to do. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do everything I want to do because I have a job and it takes up a huge amount of my time. If totse made enough to pay for itself that would be great. If it made enough to pay for my time I'd quit my job and do this full time.
Regarding your gripe on the redirect ads: I don't like them either. They should be set up to be MINIMALLY INTRUSIVE, meaning that you should only see one redirect ad in a 24 hour period. If that's not what you're seeing let me know.
I am testing them out to see how well they perform money-wise compared to the other ads. At first they were paying quite well. totse was actually paying for itself for about a week. Since then the revenue they're generating has fallen off, so they may not be here for long.

I may have missed it, but did anyone suggest MAIL! Yeah you all remember good ole mail. The shit you get in your mail box every day or so?
Jeff your making things way too hard. Set up a PO box. If each active member gave $1.37 (the 37 being the stamp) then wammo you would have a decent amount of cash. Shit even I would give and I hate most of the people on here.
Jeff, I highly suggest merchandice to help generate money. I remember the Cafepress page, which didn't get many sales at all. I believe this is because the designs were plain and dull. I know for a fact if they had better ideas, they could make a ton of money. Look at Maddox (http://maddox.xmission.com). He makes enough money from his store alone to pay for his site, as well as pay for his living conditions. SomethignAwful (http://somethingawful.com) also has a store, and they make damn good money off of it (as if they don't make enough from user accounts, but that is a seperate issue). I think that if you made some creative clothing, stickers, etc. that totse could make a good amount of money off of the sales, at least enough to be able to take down the redirect ads. I would be so confident that the clothes would sale, I would personally send money to help fund the start of a clothing line.
Also, I have noticed a few updates to the forums and site (small, but still updates) the last few weeks. I can only guess this is because you may have had a break from work, or have had ideas to work on totse. Does this mean that you may become more acitve on the site more, maybe even posting in regular forums again?
Das Troll

More than once I suggested we make new stuff for the store. Have each mod send in ideas for a shirt or something. If your thing is weapons and combat, have something weapons and combat related on the shirt. Go the way 2600 did and make some sort of useful fact on the shirt. For example, a popular 2600 shirt had the blue box plans on it. Maybe a weapons and combat shirt could have some sort of slogan with some gun or knife info. I dont know, im just throwing things out here. Anything would be better than whats in there now.

+1 to you for your keen observation skills. But try making a thread about porn in S&A and count how many seconds it takes before being locked.
Fact of the matter is that the porn thread in IFIOTW generally has more posts than half a dozen of the quiet forums, after a few months.
There is clearly the demand for a porn forum, and additionally it would increase traffic on the site overall. Just makes sense.
I agree with the porn forum idea. Many people on totse watch porn VERY MUCH.

I disagree with anyone who thinks there should be a so called 'porn forum'. There's S&A to ask questions, and there is IFIOTW including its offical Porn Thread and the archived topic with all the links.
If you want to get down to the nitty gritty there is also Moving Pictures for anything besides stills.

What moronic reasoning. I already made this point - try posting porn links anywhere outside the porn thread in IFIOTW and it'll be deleted. There's nowhere to post the stuff OTHER than the porn thread. It acts as a mini-forum, but is horrendously organised and utilised because it's simply a thread.

You seem to support the Folding@Home, but I suspect this is because it is helpful to scientific studies on protein folding. However, the totse WhatPulse team is just for fun and I am not sure if it meets your approval. We will still do it either way, but I would still like to know your opinion on it.
Also, as I am sure you know (from the gigantic thead in IFIOTW), the totse team has made a fairly large and reconizable logo on Drawball (http://drawball.com) and I would also like to see your opinion on that.
Finally, since you seem to need some money, I will send about $50 in the mail with a note that has my email on it. If you do recieve it, I'd like an email, if you don't, then I will know not send money in the mail anymore, as it would just be a waste.

Jeff, can I ask you just one thing? Whats next for totse? Are you working on anything else like upgradeing totse or adding on anything new? If you are could you tell us we would really like to know. On a side note, please no fucking avatars that would really be annoying seeing tubgirls and goatse as everyone avatar for 8 months.

I'll send him an e-mail and ask him why he doesn't post anymore, but I think he just got bored.
Thanks for answering, I was aware J.C. Was one of the original administrator's and his help on the original site layout, but I had no clue whats so ever he was on the dial-up.
So, yeah. See if you can get him to post!

I figured as much. So, this means SGMasta is still around as well? Or was "he" really kicked off the SG wagon?

TOTSE will be FARKED...lol
Not to mention there will be a new breed of dolts to deal with...yippie for progress!
We do need a new forum though. This place looks like a porn movie set from the 70's only vomited up by an obese midget who ate too much creamed corn. In other words it's tacky.

If the forum software was updated, and user accounts could be purchased (premium accounts, not all accounts should be paid) then totse could probably make a lot of money from that alone. Please, if you could, take off the "Sponsered Links" as well as the redirects. The Sponsored Links make totse load even slower than it does already, and the redirects means you have to load even ANOTHER page just to see the content.
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with premium accounts. Even though it would bring in probably more than enough revenue to cover the bandwidth of Totse, I think that making premium accounts that you pay for will separate users and divide Totse in half, those who pay, and those who don’t. I can picture the “I pay and you don’t so you can’t say what’s wrong and what’s right! neener neener!!!” comments happening already
(well not so much the “neener neener”), and a never ending argument that would just keep coming up.
And as for the forum software updating, I’m all for it, but I would hate to see the old Totse left behind as a new generic forum is made with avatars and all that useless crap that just slows everything down.
So if any changes are made, I’d start with the damn profiles and how the emails don’t show up on them. That’s been broken ever since I can remember, but that’s good old Totse for ya! http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

i think each poster should have a rating system like digg.com does. That would have very interesting effects.
You could limit each ip to one vote per user per day.
You could even have an algorithm that calculates flood control time based off your rating http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

What ads? (http://adblock.mozdev.org/)
Heh, exactly. Firefox+AdBlock, optionally also FilterSet.G Updater and CustomizeGoogle. When using AdBlock with FilterSet.G don't forget that you need to put filters you add into both AdBlock and FilterSet.G user-defined filter lists. Set Firefox to keep cookies until you close it and you can set exceptions of course. This shoudld help against tracking cookies.
For the power users there's NoScript, Cookie Button in the status bar (with cookies blocked by default), and Modify Headers (to remove referer, accept, accept-charset, accept-language, and change user-agent to IE's). This way you can block annoying ad scripts, tracking cookies, and other BS altogether, but still be able to make whitelists.
Add to that Passive Cache and SessionSaver and you're set for a nice Internet experience with almost no ads (usually the ones you see are hosted by the site you're on, and to block all you have to do is add another filter) and a bit more privacy.
