Transfans Survey

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Hello!

We did this once ages ago and I have a sudden urge to do it again. So this is your chance to have your say about Transfans. If you wish to participate please copy and paste the survey text below.

For the multiple choice questions please place an X next to your answer.

For the other questions, if you feel compelled to comment please try and be constructive – this will increase the chances of your comments having an impact.

Also please ONLY POST SURVEY RESPONSES IN THIS TOPIC – if you want to discuss anything that comes out of this please start a separate topic, this will make it significantly easier to collate the results.

Separate thread for discussion of survey:

http://www.transfans.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3554

Every so often the server goes down I think - the Archive is usually down too. Oh, and on some machines it doesn't automatically log me in until I click "profile" and then it returns me to the index page ready logged-in as normal. Not sure why.

Not really.

What are your favourite things about Transfans?
Brendocon, free tea and coffee.

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
The pagination of the comic reviews - why not order them by issue number? It's really awkward to find a particular issue going by the pages.

What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Nice design, friendly atmosphere.

What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
"Before Carly, there was..."

Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?

The intelligent discussions that sometimes occur here (I just read them though).

The people, and the atmosphere they create.

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
Uhm, I dont have a least favourite thing.

Great atmosphere, and a cool design.

Yes

If yes please provide details and frequency:
About once a fortnight the site seems to become unavailable, both at home and in college, giving a server timeout. Probably due to routine maintenance or downtime.

Does the website look and fit correctly on your monitor?
Yes

If No please give details and frequency.

Do you have any problems using the site?
Yes

If yes please give details and frequency.
Site doesn't behave well on my college's proxy server, tho that should probably read site has problems because my college's proxy server doesn't behave.

Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
Replace Conventions with News. News topics can be posted and then discussed in the appropriate forum perhaps.

Are there any new forums you would like to see?
News.

What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The qualities of its community.

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
I'm not sure tbh. I feel we can come off as a bit cliquey, a sort of 'your either part of the in-crowd or youre not' type thing, not sure how to get round that tho. Not even sure we need to, we don't need hundreds of new posters all the time.

What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
A place where the intelligent and tasteful genuinely seem to have a majority.

What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Don Murphy's constant raving like a mental patient and people posting about how great Don Murphy is, due to his raving like a mental patient. That's a good thing tho.

Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Some of the mods seem to have been absent an awful long time, maybe it would be worth discussing 'culling' a few? The few left over seem to cope with the amount of traffic and generally do an admirable job imo.

Very rarely it happens that everything go mostly white, and there's not much graphics visible. Also, about as rarely, when you have posted and go to Index not all of the discussion areas are visible.

Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?

Site suggestions and Info and Questions could possibly be merged.

Are there any new forums you would like to see?

Not at the moment.

What are your favourite things about Transfans?

The many good FUN people here. Most people are really quite nice and intelligent.

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?

The not so fun people...sometimes things don't mix, and there are fights.
it's especially a problem if a moderator is the one that the other indivdual don't mix with.

I have recently also found myself to grow somewhat tired of the whining. Wether it's about movie-producer Don Murphy, comic-artist Pat Lee or religion it comes to a point where it's not funny or an interesting discussion anymore.


What does Transfans have that other sites do not?

A sort of feeling of "first time", a home away from the real worlds pains.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?

Curtesy and restraint. It's somewhat wild nature is what draws me back here, but for the last 1.5 years I feel that the atmosphere has been souring up very much. There's some kind of 'grumpiness' here.

I am also of the opinion that TransFans should have a more advanced skinning-option built in. One wich would pehaps sport a very eye-candy filled theme.



Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?

As said earlier, the atmosphere in some topics is galling, with an immense amount of cursing* at others really. And often the mods can get involved themselves in this. Instead of just simply closing it down immeadiately at the first sight of trouble. I think it would be good if some of the mods had a sit-down about the tone used, as there's really never a reason for a mod to get rude. If he doesn't like what he see he simply locks it, or banns it. All with a curtesy-filled tone and a smile on his lips.
Any additional comments/suggestions:

It would be interesting for the premiere of the new movie to put such a 'skin' as the standard. As an experiment, to see if it could attract more casual lookers.

* The cursing done is ussually done with little stars blotting out one or two letters, this is ridiculous and serves no purpose, as with some common sence semantics,the posters immediately recognise the curse-word and it's intent is done. I propose that you have to be logged in to see General Discussion, and that a little warning-sign is put there, that "n this forum the curse-filter is off, curse all you want, you bannination material". Or alternatively, that a new Adult section is opened for this purpose.

You could probably make GD into several content specific forums, but no, nothing that I'm particularly dying to see.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The sense of community, our collective sense of humor, and its international flavor
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
I think the other areas of Transfans BESIDES community and comics could take a lot of work. More reviews in cartoons and toys, more downloads, etc.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Eggs?
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Aside from the aforementioned bare bones cartoon/toys section, I think the only think we lack is a good knowledge of when to quit.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
I think they do a good job, in a sense that I always see Rebis, TT, spiderfrommars, and Ironhide in the forums, occasionally saying mod like things and making sensible mod decisions. Pretender Bumblebee is MIA, though.

Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
Looking to find such an instance, I think Fan Art and Conventions could possibly be merged, or Conventions should at least be moved to community.

What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The community, the non Transfans discussion, the love of obscure characters. The whole idea of a gift exchange. The interviews. Those have always been class.

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
The times when I see people driven away from the site due to a bad run in with one of the major Transfans players.

What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Intelligent people that also like Transformers.

What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Comprehensive toy and comic reviews.

Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Well, Tired Tracks, Pretender Bumblebee, and IronHide to me are more like mythic figures that post occasionally and whose exploits have been whispered in legends, passed down through the ages. BF and spider are sweet, obviously. As far as actual job, excellence personified.
