TT1 and I (TT2) do read many of the forum topics although we try to stay in the background. I apologize if TT1 seems to have disappeared and many say has “neglected the site”. The opposite is in fact true. He has been busting his butt working around the clock on the new upgraded site, which has many of the bells and whistles that the current site does not. I try to read every forum topic with the heading of ‘This site could be improved by having the following’ because we have listened and the new site has many of the improvements mentioned. The new site is cleaner, more user friendly and we feel that the daily TN user will be very happy. The launch is just around the corner.
New functionality to mention:
1. User will be able to flag pictures
2. User will be able to flag users
3. User will be able to block users
4. There will be improved chat room and forum moderators
5. There will be improved privacy settings, such as you can pick and choose what people can view and you can also control what is visible on search engines
6. User profiles will receive a notification icon when profile receives something
7. Threaded messages
8. More centralized members area
9. There will be an events section
10. International locations , users can suggest new and or modify locations
11. There will be easier moderation and communication
Please be patient. We love how this community has grown and TT1’s goal has always been to keep it a clean site for True Nudists.
With the growth has come more and more work load. That’s where I come in. With TT1 so busy working on the site launch he asked me to take over daily Admin duties. I do hear the complaints about sexual pictures/content getting through and I apologize. I am approving approximately 1,200 pictures daily and unfortunately some sexual pictures do get through undetected. I also hear the complaints about moderators. I read that some think the moderators may or may not have a "higher power”. This is not the case. Chosen moderators are in the chat room to flag any behavior deemed inappropriate by TT1, and believe me these moderators are very much appreciated. We thank you.
This is all for now,
TT2

Curt, or CowboyAug 5, 2011[quote]Many people do not understand the great deal of time consuming effort and complexities of a site like this one. [/quote] And some of us do ! We don't need features. We do need active participation by administration. As someone else said, justice delayed, is no justice at all. It's nice to see the site isn't being totally ignored, but obviously some see this ship dangerously close to the rocks.ReactReply - NO
NoneAug 5, 2011#5. We hope this setting even allows us to choose what friends can see and not see of our pics. We have people we would like to friend that have no pics. We think they are real but with no pics we also do not wish to share ours. We will live with whatever you decide though. Thanks for your hard work.

RoosterockAug 5, 2011What about the blank profiles with nothing except a name. I think they should be deleted.

ReactReply - COCurt, or CowboyAug 5, 2011[quote][quote][/quote] Part of me is now thinking that perhaps some of these blank profiles are still here in order to ensure the continuity of the thread to which they posted - perhaps. Whereas by deleting their account there would be incomprehensible gaps within the flow of the thread and rather than have this happen they choose to leave their account up and running, though blank and seemingly inactive. I don't know if I am right on this but it is a thought I had![/quote] I personally know of at least one case I can name by name, where this is very true ! I *think* I know of two others where it's also true.ReactReply

Louis, in the past when there were upgrages, it was totally transparent to the user. My browser comes here automaticially when I open it and has done it for three years now.
NIMA, I liked the old way of the pics being in chronological order of uploading. This kept pictures taken on vacation for example together where it tells a story.

SoupieAug 5, 2011Thanks TT. It's nice to see that that nasty "suspending donations" thread with all the complaints about admin and the threats to leave and form a new site is gone now. With a positive update like this, they would be ashamed to comment here.

[/quote] And I would disagree ! That thread had the strongest criticism ( read: what should be delt with first )and the reasoning for it.I would agree that we'd all hope such a thread would have no motivation to ever start.ReactReply

westheathenAug 5, 2011The upgrades sound very promising, wondering if it will be a "big bang" or slow metamorphosis? I reckon most of the complaints were out of frustration; since you (TT2) came on the scene the responce time to flaggings has increased greatly. So much so that on my daily visits to the "another day" thread there has very often not been anything left there that has not been dealt with. Therefore when one of you apparently went awol it became very obvious.
Someone picked up on TT2's use of the word "us" in on of the items, what you have to remember is that both TT1 & TT2 are members/users of the site as well; so I guess the "us" would include everyone.

Evan-hereAug 5, 2011Well since a good forum should have some balance I'll be the bad guy here. First, it is nice to see some type of message from TT1 or TT2, I am well aware that it does take work to run a good web site. As to a few comments made here about the thread to withhold donations, well, it was after that thread, and a few other sites speaking of site issues, went up that we are now told of improvements. I would like to think improvements were coming already, but.......
A few solid members here have suggested to power to control picture, I would suggest a limit. There is no need for more the 10 or 20. The user can always take some down to put new ones up.
Some of what is said is coming, we already have. Pick and chose what other members can see, every member should have to have a minimum amount shown that can not be hiden. Not all the profile, but part of it.What about deleting more of the dead accounts, I don't think too many forums would be distrupted, and there are ways around that as well
What about sending in a profile pic that can not be changed, as it stands, send in to pics, get certified, then change the name an the pictures, bob from wherever is now suzy, 18, from home town usa. How about to be certifed you need a cam, and if asked by a mod, you have to turn it on at least for a face to face with them.
Here is one, under status, get rid of " its complicated" , what is that any way, you are with someone or your single.
Get rid of the who is the most viewed deal on the opening page. Also, some of the pictures of the right side are pics bought off another site, may have had a place at one time, during start up, but if your going to have them they should be of current members who have ok'd it.
Have another option for being certified, several reasons for that, One, you asking someone to send in nude pictures to you on your word that they will be deleted, if they promise to delete yours would you send them? Quick answer , NO Way. We own the site, and many here will say they have never done anything with theirs, and maybe, but still. A mod doing a cam verification works even better and should be an option. What about if someone goes thru the effort to meet a Mod face to face, but choses not to send in a picture, someone who has never been out of the bathroom nude but sent in two pics is certified and they aren't......Really.
TT2 stated she can not keep up, I can understand your busy, but there are "Real Nudists" in their area that would help out. NO control would be lost, they would be under TT1 and TT2's supervision, and it would cost nothing. Is it they have have no Trust in others, even though they are right there supervising? But yet they are asking for other to trust them with their pics. Nudist in their area that belong on the site, willing to be vetted, interviewed, and you can't or won't trust them?I , along with many others, would love to see a cleaner site, we have enough bells and whistles, we need less of the pervert types, less trolls, more mods. With that mod statement I would like to add I think the mods do a good job, and it is a very hard job. I would like to see on thing added to the line saying so and so was booted, that being so and so was booted for inapproaite pm if it was a pm. Something happens in the chat room, most know what happened of can guess.
Well any way, again, thats my two cents, and sorry I did seem to jump around a little, will try to be more concise next time. On the final note, again, nice to hear something from admin and hats of to the mods we do have, get them some more help.

Suggestions are fine. What I don't get is the ultimatums ands threats to create a new site to compete, issued to a privately owned website. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. If you've reached that point, then you should follow through and leave instead of sounding off like a mad martinet. It reminds me of the people who rave on against Obama socialism and then complain when their benefit cheques are late.
