Keeping BetterMost Alive...

(1/6) > >>

Phillip Dampier:
I am starting to plan strategies for BetterMost for the upcoming summer season to keep the site evolving and interesting for users, new and old.  We'll always be dealing with Brokeback Mountain - it's the one thing we all have in common.  But I also am aware that this site will need to always be working on new projects and ideas to make it interesting enough to come back to month after month.

I am always interested in receiving ideas and suggestions about new things we could offer, or ways to improve the site.  What makes BetterMost somewhat different from the other fan sites out there is our emphasis on social networking and personal development.  We're not just about the film itself, but more about the people who were affected by it.  So BetterMost needs to be a place people can visit to talk about anything they want to talk about with people they have built friendships with.

If you have ideas, please share them.  We don't anticipate becoming the next MySpace, but we're not going to stand still and stagnate either.  :)

Hey Phillip, this is sort of along the lines of suggestions and improvements, but just wondering if you saw the PM I sent you a while back (a week or so ago) about little aesthetic things to do to make the site a little more easy and visually pleasing to use. Thoughts? Responses?

But I am glad you are bringing up this topic. I know it's been on my mind too somewhat lately, esp. how I can contribute more to the depth here...it  is something I have on a back burner, to be brought to a front burner when a few other projects are under control/finished.

I love the idea of this space evolving.  I will think on this for sure.  Appreciation once again for all you do, Phillip.

That is such a refrershing attitude, Phillip. One community I was a member of was driven off a message board because the guy running it didn't like the way we made it a community. He decreed that (for example) wishing each other happy birthday was off topic. We upped and left.

TJ:
I like the community idea as long as it is related to the original subject of Brokeback Mountain, whether it is the movie of the Annie Proulx short story.

But, I see a lot of stuff that has absolutely no connection whatsoever with the topics brought up in the story or movie. And the fact that some of the graphics, meaning posted pics, keeps being reposted AND reposted in member's replies and takes up broadband width space.

I am not a fan of any of the actors in the movie and their real lives don't even seem to be very much related to the AP story anyway. I do like what they did in the movie and should be commended for that. I have known and/or met several people who were in Hollywood's show business and they were just common folk and easy to talk to.
