is it just my computer or is the forum lagging for anyone else? i use the clean theme and my internet connection is solid but it still lags whenever i refresh or go onto a new page?
What kind of lag are we talking about?

1) Sometimes some pages would not load at all and give you an error – this has nothing to do with your computer power or connection, it's on ZB side. Sometimes their servers are under attack and their performance is pretty wacky.

2) Things take time to load – that would be your connection not handling big amounts of data some pages have to load. Clean theme does not equal light theme unfortunately. It's 'clean' side is mostly visual. Occasionally some images would refuse to load due to problems on hosting they are on. We had it with our top banner for a while before we got it off free hosting.

3) Computer / browser appears to freeze for a while – performance issue, animated GIFs are responsible for most of those (and they often weight a lot too), flash videos can add offense as well. Older computers have it worse but even newer ones may suffer. If you are using Safari or Chrome you could try checking same page in Firefox as it uses different engine and handles some issues differently.

I've been living out of the city lately and enjoying 3G/4G speed, so I see a lot of all kind of lagging and it's hard for me to pick one I should sympathize with in this particular case :P I'll run some tests when I get a moment though.

So Xyz came up with an idea, which in my opinion is very interesting and could be very helpful for those who don't have time to catch up with the main thread.

Here's what we propose:
The creation of a new thread (it'll be a closed thread, only to be edited by a few) that mentions the latest news regarding the girls, the most important ones, like events, fancams, videos or mentioning a new photoshoot, etc.
This will be helpful for those (like myself :$ ) who don't have the time to pagecatch! Because seriously, sometimes I just feel lost at the main and it sucks :-/ I'm guessing there are many facing the same problem out there.
In order to do this, we would need volunteers (again lol) that are willing to help us with the editing of the thread, by placing the news, etc.
It'd be some sort of "pagecatcher's thread", no discussions, just a quick update on the girls in order to avoid pagecatching.

What are your thoughts on this?? and... any volunteers? :lol:

Seems kinda pointless, and idk who'd volunteer for that, let alone keep up with it.

I like it ^_^ it'll save me from going through a sea of wankery. But this will be a lot of work considering there's nine girls, we'll need dedicated people for this.

Main thread would still exist of course lol, main thread is for discussions, sharing news etc.
Since ppl are so grateful towards pagecatchers, we thought why not make a pagecatching thread that'd help you keep up.
It is a bunch of work, but we do have pagecatchers here that bother with it, so we thought, why not?

We had our pagecatching heroes ever since the lchat, so it's nothing new. People had helped community before, this would only give them tools to work as a team and make it more visual. It may seem pointless to someone who comes to this forum every day but for people who regularly face hundreds of pages to pagecatch if they want to know what's going on with the girls could benefit from this a lot.

We definitely can't guarantee it to work but it's worth a try. So please if you are a regular user of this forum and you think you can give some of your time to reposting few most important things a day into separate thread, raise a hand here or using Contact Staff (pick Other).

But I like the thought of a newsfeed from a lesbian's point of view like what about Yuri's unnies! and her dates! those won't be in ssf or any instagram/social networking updates.

I suppose it could be done if the thread will be updated about all the major events in the girls' lives, like; concert dates, album releases, new endorsement deals etc.... Updating about every new Instagram post, what they had for dinner or shipping moments seems a bit useless.

The idea is good, now lets hope that you girls will be able to find people that are up for the job and won't quit after a month. ^_^

It's less than it may seem. There are rarely more than 5 things a day worth re-posting. And we could have 3-5-7 volonteers who'd get their separate forum section to coordinate. If amount of people is enough, there won't be enough work for them let alone too much.

Those things are in the main thread. This new thread won't include those things.

Yeah. But, if it's just for concert dates and album releases, SSF is more than good for that, so idk why there needs to be a special thread here.

Not everyone visits Soshified and keeping track of SGSD related things could be nice as well. Some funny things do happen every once in a while and it might be nice for people to know when the discussion started so they can re-read it.

with that amount of volunteers that'd make sense but like Windmill said, lets hope these volunteers have the same amount of dedication as the others

I'm ambivalent, it doesn't affect me either way. I just think it's an unnecessary idea.

The team of volunteers would not be set in stone as a private club (although we'd have to make them a separate group, so they'd be 'Editors' rather than regular members). If someone get's tired, new people could join. Mods could add a post or two occasionally (they can't take it as a responsibility tho, they have enough work as it is). The depth of information they cover could depend on how many people editors have and how much time these people can dedicate. Even some of the things being reposted would be a huge help for folks who can't pagecatch in full. And if this flops, we'll just close it down and go on with the forum the way it is now. There's hardly anything to lose.

Arti, it's a pity that you want none of it as you would be one of the best candidates obviously. But I understood and respect that choice of yours. Maybe you can let others make their choices as well.

It's a good idea, abc! I remember everyone loved Cat b/c she kept pagecatching everything. It also cleaned up the thread in there weren't any posts about "what happened in the last so and so days?"; kind of minuscule, but I still think it's a good idea for those users that tend to be very busy or are gone for long periods of time (like vacations, uni and the like).

Because you are always there and because you seem to be generally intelligent and responsible person, who also happens to be a native speaker of English. You do have your 'moments' but I don't see how they'd make you any worse at this kind of thing. That's why I said what I said. It's ok though, as I said, such thing is completely voluntary.

Agreed that it's a difficult job. I still need to pagecatch the 1000+ pages I procrastinated on lol(dunno if I'll do it or not). I have the pages of some of the pagecatches I've done on this forum so maybe you could post them all on the separate thread. 1429 1469 1499 1532 1568 1886 1926 1959 1988 22 95 379 are the pages where I posted all the pc posts I did. If you want to edit them, be my guest.

Let's do this like the girls in the Achele thread back in TLC just to, they just to have an anon who posted a list of the important daily events, it was the organized anon something like that;
So you gays can discuss the events in the main thread and look for information in this new thread. imo

And I demand a editable list of fanfics in the fanfic thread. :fab:

Pagecatcher anon,
thank you for work you did with those, I'm sure a a lot of people appreciated your gift a lot. I think it would be better to start afresh though, because if we start compiling old pagecatch posts now, it would feel like there are holes to fill and it wouldn't be the best idea to start with a debt, editors would have a lot to deal with in the beginning even without it. If you feel like doing some of it in the future, please consider becoming one of the editors. It would make it much easier for people to find results of your hard work.

Anon #939,
what you are talking about and what we have in mind aren't too far apart, but having it in separate thread would make it much easier for people to follow. Otherwise they'd have to pagecatch to find the pagecatcher's post.

As for fanfics, we'd need an editor for that list who'd be looking after updating it. Mods/admins could be bringing it to the first post of the thread then.
