Forum Changes

I'll be making a few changes to the forums in the upcoming days:

• The forum will move locations, and will soon be found at Cancuncare Forum All links will be redirected automatically, most members probably wont even notice.
• Some forum sections, individual posts, all member profiles and all photos will be blocked from being indexed in Google.
• Page titles will be improved. You wont notice this while browsing the forum, but it will (should) improve our search engine traffic.
• A small number of old threads (about 10-20) will be deleted. This may affect your post count if you posted in those threads.
  
• All new photos submitted to the media page will be subject to admin approval prior to being published.

The changes are intended to:

• increase the amount of search engine traffic that is actually wanted, and eliminate the traffic that isnt. There might be a small dip in overall numbers in the short term.
• keep photos compliant with our rules which are clearly defined on the upload page, but consistently ignored every day.
• reduce the amount of useless pages in Google's index.
• discourage those members who think the forum is about showing off their wife or seeking sexual partners.
• reduce the amount of creepers and lurkers that the above attracts and encourages.

Any questions please let me know below and I'll answer.

 

It's just the ratio of positive to negative feedback when other members 'rate' your posts.

No changes planned. Cancunswingers had a revamp around this time last year.

 

Well, negative ratings aren't necessarily a reflection of someone disagreeing with a post, it could be a reflection of not liking the post content.

For example, when I said Lollipop was leaving people may have disliked the post because they were sad she was leaving. Not that they disliked me reporting the news.

Anyhow, I dont really take much notice of ratings myself.
