If you guys truly want to take Exhale down

[Lascivious]

I completely agree and I keep repeating - THE MAIN PAGE NEEDS A MAJOR REVAMP.

once it gets a better, clear layout and longer but consistent articles we will gain more traffic and therefore more people registering on the forum. Universe is not gonna survive without Galaxy. Galaxy needs to step it up ASAP.

Yesssssss. And it's so easy to out-due Jordan with his tacky graphics design taste and his crappy looking forum.

 

The owners here could take Universe to the #nextlevel

 

Holler

[MasterXPosed]

Drama starts trouble

If we allowed that people will take advantage of it

This place is a friendly environment and it's gonna stay that way

However we are adding a lot of new features and exciting things so be ready for that:)

Remember when we had "Karma" points on Exhale? - and + posts? The "likes" thing was my idea and look at how huge it has become!

If the owners on here truly want to make a HUGE Britney site, they need to go full force and go all the way. There's no point in having an Exhale 2.0, it will only get you so far. They need to make it bigger and better. Rita Ora is a Rihanna 2.0, and yeah she has some success, but it's only to a certain degree. No one wants a 2.0 of anything because there's already the original available.

 

This site/forum should start with a flawless, innovative, high-end, professional template. A place where fans would want to post and visit just because it "looks so cool." It already gives people a reason to come. 

- or + post is here tho

flawless lascivious.  i've missed your posts on that other site that shall not be named.

1. New layout/template that is nothing like Exhale's but 100 times better. You guys remember when Britney's official site had that theme with Britney's face and the lion emerging as one? Something with that kind of vibe, super professional but still super fierce and sexy and amazing looking. Make the forum look like a high-end fragrance add. Make it super modern and innovative, have a little section under the main template that negatives by itself, showing each news story one by one after a few seconds, and give people the option to pause or navigate it themselves with tiny arrows under it.

 

2. New features on the forum. Give the option for members to rate threads and to like or dislike comments. Showcase the amount of replies and hits each topic gets in a little box under each thread. Use the overall statistics of each poster based off all their topics, comments, likes, dislikes, ratings and activity to have an overall member rating. Showcase the top 10/20 members of the forum and their statistics based off their overall score on a separate page. This will motivate people to want to post more and to interact more. 

 

3. Drama = more hits, more views, more forum activity = longevity. Have a separate section of the forum where people can post topics to complain about certain things or even other members. 

 

4. Instead of "friends" members should be able to have an option to be "fans" of other members instead. Use the amount of friends aka "fans" a member has to contribute to their overall rating/score.

 

5. Huge multi-media section on the site. HD video's, interviews, photoshoots, music, etc. Have monthly competitions for members to create Britney MV's or Britney photoshopped work, pick a winner and showcase the fanmade MV or graphic on the side of the main page of the site for a week and gift the winner with forum bonus points to add to their overall member score.

 

6. Be consistent. You're not going to be #1 in a week or two, the maintenance has to be super consistent, every day, with a lot of hard work and determination. Patience is key. You have to keep building on the site and the forum, constantly innovating, coming up with new idea's, better templates, more options, creative ways to get the members to be excited about posting. Make it as big and as grand as possible. Make it better then the most professional, high-end website you can find on the net. Look at other sites and forums, study them and make your better, grander and bigger, not by a little, but BLOW IT OUT OF THE WATER.

 

7. Once enough views and members and popularity, TAKE THE INITIATIVE. Contact team Britney with a few, non-invasive questions and get them to send Britney's responses. EVEN if it is their managers answering it pretending to be Britney, who cares? It is a HUGE exclusive and will draw in so many viewers and will force every other Britney site to report on it and give credit to you. Contact past producers, photographers, Will.i.Am, people who have worked with Britney, whoever knows her to comment on Britney or their working experience. Producers like Danja for example comment all the time on Twitter or whatever, it would be SO EASY to get an exclusive comment from him about working with Britney in the studio or WHATEVER.

 

 

I would do it, and I would hire a great graphics designer and go full force, but honestly, I don't have the time or patience and this is not what I'm interested in doing as a career. But if you guys truly want this, go full force and remember, you can literally make a CAREER out of this if you play your cards right, you can make a decent income, you can use the website and forum as a stepping stone to bigger and greater things, you can become a huge person in the media, it is worth it, you just have to be determined, professional and have to get the best possible thing out there that you can imagine. You can't half-ass it. You can't just make it "OK," or make it an Exhale 2.0, make it ten million times better then Exhale, make it a million times better then any other site on the web.
