    dont know. Maybe your english is too high for me? But i am poor chap. Your last comment made a tangent over my head. Pls describe a little. What means he pays more for themes? You think our admin is poor ?

    I have seen atleast 30-40 posts today with just one smiley in it... that's one reason we get that database error... posts come in at a rate of 5-6 posts per min at peak times and out of those 4-5 are just smileys or names of movies...
    I wont mind 50 posts per min if it was anything remotely related to the theme of the forum... I dont mind shelling out another $500-600 per month on a better box on top of what I already spend but there has to be a justification for that..



    Back to square one : How do we bring the focus back to "broadband"

    How about if we all start with writing a review on the DTH service we use and broadband connection we use each and also the mobile phone model we use and mobile phone service we use?

    The only reason we dont have a new contest yet is that its just going to lead to more spamming... (please do not start the contest debate here)
    I completely agree except competition part . The word I hate most is lol. Some are posting only lol or a smiley. Well I also post movie name in antakshri nut I am reducing that now. I think that thread & similar threads is completely crap & a way to increase post count. I am not able to post anything only because I see people increasing their count & I lagging behind so I also start doing that. I might be more in tech sections but yard , lol & smileys are stooping me.

    History is on the move,my friends.Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from distance.And those who stand in its way will not watch at all.
    To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 100 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

    People are going to tell stories about me none of which change who I really am.

    Well I am not in favor of deleting or locking anything...

    How about we stop posting just smilies in posts and stop posting posts with just "lol" in them? that should solve this problem 30%

    For chitchatting do one thing!
    make one thread named as "offtopic thread" or something ike that!

    For jokes if you want to remove that section
    Just make one thread for that also!

    like wise isnt it good to be it in one thread than making many!

    so in last posts there maybe not more threads in that section!

    I agree. Post smaller than 3 words be banned except those expressing gratitude or manners like 'thank you'. Also what is your view on antakshri & words association?

    Problem is not with people who post in off topics and yard.

    I see it this way: there are literally thousands of members who register here only if they have some problem with the broadband. Once their issue is resolved they never ever come back. I don't know the exact number but I am assuming that the number will be 10,000+. These are people who have only handful of posts.

    I consider them leechers. Why...well they never give back to the community. Once their problems are resolved they don't give a sh1t about this site until they suffer from problems again.

    It will be an interesting stat if we were ever able to find out: How many such leechers became regulars in last 2 years?

    There are only about 30 or so members who are truly regular, Who post/help wherever they can. That number is just too less when we consider that this forum has 50,000+ members.

    This in turn creates an imbalance between people with 1000s of posts and people with less than 5 posts.

    No, nothing like. Forum making isnt that easy you see, if your good at programming then, good for you, you just need a host. They will provide domain name, tools to help you create forum etc. Sometimes host proviser will give and make everything. You just got to pay money.

    Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP, its related to something like that and vbulltein and all that stuff. ask admin and kix for that. I am just a amateur in that.

    What Im trying to say is,Our good admin pays to keep this IBF running, all that im saying is to upgrade the forum, he might have shell out extra money from his pocket.

    I am getting this that there is no such site:













    Womens Forum could not be found. Please check the name and try again.








    The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.




    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of

    "www.mozilla.org")


    * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.


    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.


    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browser

    I had decided to do a full scale Yard cleanup. But I could see many anguished faces (literally). And it was too horrible to be responsible for kicking off the personal stats out of the window. So I did not do it.

    We can however lock the threads for some time, if all agree.

    I am not in favour of stopping Jokes and other such activities. But I am much disturbed to see only junk on the forum.
    For my side I can say you can delete my all post from yard even if you do that i will be happy because when i have posted I saw the warning what you have written in sticky thread so I know that my yard post will be deleted sometimes

    Well I take my words back where I said about carrying forward the crappy threads at womens forum... Just had a bollocking from Harpreet

    So we are back to where we started from again...

    By the way whatever Amal said is right to a great extent but thats true for every forum and thats how it is always going to be.. We can try to get them leechers to participate a bit... or atleast keep the ratio at 10:90 ... that would solve every issue we have here and we will be running out of problems here with too many people to solve them..

    I agree & now stop this thread it had also became a great way to increase post count (DTIS).

    Lets vote now buddies & start doing something that is constructive.

I post more in mobile section and less in bb cause its my like. I had less bb problems. Much of my bb problems are eradicated by my cafe keeper Shaihnavaz. So i don post much there. And now i don have any bb access in delhi stay. Admins may check.
