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
This will remain open for 2 weeks and will be posted in all forums, please only respond once.
Thanks for your input

Well, accessing the board, tbh. The domain shift still screws up my cookies. I can access the site and board through the transfans.net address, but I have to switch to the tfarchive3 domain suffix to be able to post anything. The board autoforwards me, but it just takes longer as it returns me to the index page in doing so. Not tricky to find my way back to where I was, but it's just time consuming.
Does the website look and fit correctly on your monitor?

If yes please give details and frequency.
... it looks and fits correctly all the time?
Do you have any problems using the site?
Yes
No [X]
Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
Nowt springs to mind.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
A general TF discussion forum? Sometimes if I have the desire to compare BW to G1, it's difficult to know which place to put it in.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The people. The substance-over-style approach to content. Very clean, no big flashing "LOOK AT ME!" graphics. The general air of "yeah, we're going to analyse a comic in too-much-depth, but that doesn't mean we're going to take ourselves seriously whilst doing it."
Computron. He smells funny.What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
As said above, an air of serious-but-self-awareness.What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Big annoying "LOOK AT ME" banners. Big marquee fanboy newsposts about the most trivial and irrelevant things imaginable. A message board full of dribbling fanboy idiots.What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
I like the staff, agree with all their policies and have no intent of ever overthrowing them in a coup and installing myself as Grand Despot, officer.
Any additional comments/suggestions:
The "search" bar at the bottom could be changed to say "site search" as I keep trying to use it to search the board.
Grrr. Argh.

Sometimes the site and the board won't load, but I guess it's server's fault, because TFArchive isn't working at these times, either.

Yes
No [X]
Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
Tomb of Relics is empty at the mo. If it won't be used, it can go away. And I guess there at least couple of topics good enough to put them there.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
Not particulary. There might be a separate forum for sports, but I don't think it is necessary.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
For board, it's people, many interesting things in GD and domination of comic-oriented topics in G1. For site, it's mainly comic reviews handled in very good way and other related stuff.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
Nothing comes to mind now.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
It's more comic-oriented than other boards I know.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Cliffy.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
I don't have any complains.
Any additional comments/suggestions:
The old board. I asked about it once, but didn't get an answer. Is it completely taken offline now? Can it be restored? Maybe a link in Tomb of Relics? Sometimes I'd like to go through old stuff.

Nope.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
I really like it here because you can have a good comic discussion here without having a Furman basher come in who'll only "it's bad, because it was written by Furman".
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
We could use some more active members, there's tons of guys in the members database who've never posted here.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Intelligent conversations.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Furman Bashers and overly zealous toonies
I seriously can't think of anything usefull that other sites have that we don't have.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Yes they do, I don't recall ever seeing a flamewar here, unlike some other boards

GD/TF Forum
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
I come here for the ppl, the serious speed of the site - the more comic orientated peeps here.
I belive the front end of the site could do with more razz-ma-taz!
For example, perhaps the front page could randomly pick out toy reviews, comic reviews or episode guides on a daily basis?
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
I like the staff - ive always seen the good in the judgement they hand out on issues.
When it comes to the crunch egos do not seem present and thats a good thing. some other sites out there are ego trips on fire.
Of course im still not a moderator, which is tits
Any additional comments/suggestions:
move the search bar to the top of the page, right hand justfication on the same bar as the menu options. this way u dont have to scroll.

It feels quite mature, I like the way we are recorgnaised in the community, yet we dont rely on siebertron style graphics to attract ppl.What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Not much, we dont really lack anything, I feel that some of our reasource could be on better display via the front page.What does Transfans lack that other sites have?

What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
That we seem to somehow stay under the radar of things (other that Ryall's recent notice, HIRE ME!). It's good for sometimes, still wouldn't mind a little more community. No trolls of course.

Karl.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Do you ever have problems accessing the site?
Well, having bookmarked the board, it did take me about a week to realise the forum was active on the new server. The default phpBB 'this forum is temporarily closed' message isn't that useful.
Does the website look and fit correctly on your monitor?
Yes, 1024x768.
Do you have any problems using the site?
None that I've noticed.
Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
I don't visit half of them, so I wouldn't really know...
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
Nie.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
Interviews. And I'll read the comics guide if I want a second opinion.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
The comics guide is ordered by pages rather than issue numbers, making it awkward to browse. Having a search function is handy, but not positioned obviously and not a substitute for clear indexing. I'd also like to see more navigation links in consistent positions on the right-hand side of the page. I'd be interested to see if the site design would allow for fewer things being handled with javascript, as it makes it more awkward to link to things (for most people; I just get popups in new Firefox tabs...) It would be nice to have more detailed information on site updates; a section and a title don't give much, and it's rather impersonal.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Interviews. A particular group of people.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Archive of fan art and fiction.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
There isn't a lot needs moderating. Might be worth sticking some more or different members into staff positions, from the point of view of having active forum leaders.

The "SafeForWork" board option helps a bunch, though.
Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
Most of them bar G1/G2 and General Chat.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
No, just a consistency in the rules of the boards. Certain 'grown-up' topics and expletive words don't seem to bat any eyelids, but others seem to be surefire ways of getting banned. Relax the agenda and make it uniform, and let the parents do the parenting. Short of inline pictures of Tubgirl, furtive links to hostage beheadings, and trolling, the boundaries of the fora could be redefined.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
It's different to most big TF boards, like Seibertron and Allspark, which are dominated by two-plank-thick dickwad cartoon zealots. I'm much more at home amongst one-plank-thick dickwad comic zealots. *wink*
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
See 'board policy consistency' comment above. And consistently hard-to-read badly-spelt posts.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Deeper appreciation for good TF storytelling. More discerning.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
More retards.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
They're less heavy-handed than some boards I visit.

Any additional comments/suggestions:

* Merge or remove some of the less-frequented fora, if possible.
* Request less tedious OT banter in the G1/G2 forum.
I like the site. The forums are good for a quick read. They could be even better. I use the boards, mostly. Occasionally, I browse the comic reviews. The interviews are also good (Transfans asks quite good questions in past interviews).

I'D LIKE WHATEVER IS THE CURRENT TF SERIES (GF/CYBERTRON AT THE MOMENT) TO HAVE IT'S OWN FORUM, WHICH WOULD BE CHANGED AS THE NEW ONES COME ALONG. A DEDICATED 'TF HAULS' (NOT JUST TOYS) FORUM TO DECREASE 'HEY! I JUST BOUGHT...' TOPICS.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
THE OTHER MEMBERS. MAKES ME FEEL LOVED.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
NOT ENOUGH ACTUAL POSTING MEMBERS. TOO MANY REGISTERED THAT DON'T POST (SEE THE MEMBERS LIST).
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
ME. SORRY ABOUT THAT. GOOD DISCUSSIONS.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
DON MURPHY AND PAT LEE. THANK GOD.
ANIMATED AVATARS - THE OPTION MIGHT BE NICE.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
NO PROBLEMS YET. THE SITE SURVIVES.
Any additional comments/suggestions:
DUMP THE 'CHAT' THING - THERE'S NEVER ANYONE THERE WHEN I CHECK. A 'RETURN TO 'VIEW POSTS SINCE LAST VISIT'' BUTTON - I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE MAIN FORUM INDEX EACH TIME I WANT TO VIEW IT. IT BUGS ME.

Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
MERGE THE 'BW/BM' ONE WITH THE ARMADA/ENERGON ONE ETC.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
I'D LIKE WHATEVER IS THE CURRENT TF SERIES (GF/CYBERTRON AT THE MOMENT) TO HAVE IT'S OWN FORUM, WHICH WOULD BE CHANGED AS THE NEW ONES COME ALONG. A DEDICATED 'TF HAULS' (NOT JUST TOYS) FORUM TO DECREASE 'HEY! I JUST BOUGHT...' TOPICS.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
THE OTHER MEMBERS. MAKES ME FEEL LOVED.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
NOT ENOUGH ACTUAL POSTING MEMBERS. TOO MANY REGISTERED THAT DON'T POST (SEE THE MEMBERS LIST).
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
ME. SORRY ABOUT THAT. GOOD DISCUSSIONS.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
DON MURPHY AND PAT LEE. THANK GOD.
ANIMATED AVATARS - THE OPTION MIGHT BE NICE.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
NO PROBLEMS YET. THE SITE SURVIVES.
Any additional comments/suggestions:
DUMP THE 'CHAT' THING - THERE'S NEVER ANYONE THERE WHEN I CHECK. A 'RETURN TO 'VIEW POSTS SINCE LAST VISIT'' BUTTON - I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE MAIN FORUM INDEX EACH TIME I WANT TO VIEW IT. IT BUGS ME.

What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The members.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
I'll get back to you on that.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Me! Oh, right, Autobloke already did that.
A clean approach to web design and general layout of the site.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
As far as Ive seen in my few ventures beyond this site (hah!):
Flashy Bells and Whistles that make it really annoying when trying to do simple things.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Yeah, things seem nice and comfortable. It's not like we let anything go, but we're not force-feeding everyone a particular way of thinking, either. At least, not as far as I can tell, Comrade Administrator.

Since the move, I have to log in through the PM system in order to get that lovely new post streetlight glow. If I try through the 'log in' function I get told I'm logged in, but don't get the streetlights on. Then when I go to post, it turns out I'm not actually logged in and have to try again, etc.
I was presuming it was a problem on my end.
Also, attempting to use the PM system used to freeze my browser. I think this was a firefox issue that has now been fixed. Thankfully.
Are there any forums that you think should be merged/gotten rid of?
I'm not hugely fussed, but the discussion forums other than G1/2 and GD are rather quiet. Considering Beast Wars is well past finished and the comic wont be showing up til next year, does it need its own forum? I woulnd't mind if it or the others got merged with G1/2, but then I don't mind the current layout either.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
Nah.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
Comic reviews - best on the web to me also; several of the people and their posts/sense of humour/skillz/knowledge. Cheers, guys.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
Pagination in the comic section is mince.
Mainly thinking of the G1 forum...high quality of atmosphere, posts and discussion has declined of late; Transfans is no longer free of spam and dead weight posts, at least to my mind. Posts sometimes now seem to be allowed here that wouldn't be put up with at sites that have reputations for being largely infested by kids, spammers and retards.
A casual attitude is great when it isn't abused by people who think they are OMG FUN GUY BOBBY LOL11!!1 When it is, it becomes a joke, esp in a place with a rep for intelligent posting.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Little bibs and bobs like letters pages and other hard-to-locate bumpf from the comics. A comfortably low-key layout and profile. Interesting mix of Europeans, Internationals (from my pov, sorry) and Space Aliens. A high standard of discussion, normally.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
A whole load of things but do you actually want them? Things Transfans lacks that I'm glad about - kids and morons.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
The ones that I see active, yes. However, uniformity of approach to issues seems lacking sometimes. Site staff did a superb job with the comic reviews and currently do a great job in kickstarting topics, which is appreciated.
Any additional comments/suggestions:
Keep the chat and suggest that people who'd like to bring teh fun1!!1 to G1!!1! head there and arrange a sesh instead of clogging up my screen with OT crap.
Or use the PM system. Or IMs. Anything. Thanks.
Oh, ban Preds and make Impy a mod
I was paid to say that.

Nope.

I'm gonna take a stand on principle and say that RiD and Armada/Energon/Cybertron should really be seperate forums. I know that it's not really feasable, since RiD doesn't get enough posts to warrant a seperate forum (in fact, I can't recall ever seeing an RiD post here...but then, I don't go into that forum often) but RiD is an entirely seperate mythos, and in a perfect world it should have it's own area to avoid confusion.
On a similar tack, Universe really should be a part of the BW/BM forum, since it's a halfassed continuation of the BW/BM continuity.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
I'll agree with Brend here...the people are what makes Transfans great. It's one of the few TF boards that you can go to with a reasonable expectation that there won't be frothing-at-the-mouth fanboy idiots charging around underfoot. Almost all of the regulars are intelligent (if not necessarily mature... ), express themselves well, and have at least some level of common sense.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
As Osku said, the non-comic sections of the site seem to be a bit thin on the ground.
Oh, and as much as I love the cartoon-and-DW-bashing, I think it can go overboard sometimes and probably scares off otherwise-normal people who may enjoy those stories.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
Piles of comic info?
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
Pat Lee fanboys?
Er...nothing that I'm not happier without, really.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
More or less, yeah. There's always going to be a few decisions that I don't agree with, but if I didn't think the staff were doing a good job I wouldn't be here.

For almost all of May I couldn't contact the site during the daytime hours. For some reason, I could only get contact during the evening. (Of course, I'm in Korea so this would be about 3-10pm Pacific time) This problem has gotten better in the last few weeks.

Website Info/Questions and Conventions/Fanclubs wouldn't be missed. Con details can be given out in the other forums, or as news items. The RPG should be removed if it is decided that it won't continue.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
Nope.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The discussion, when on-topic, is mostly good and informative. I haven't seen any flame-fests to speak of. Most people write well and (except for occasionally odd British egg humor) are quite comprehensible.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
Website really doesn't offer much outside of the small forum. This is probably for the better, because there are already a half-dozen really superb websites that give you all the information you need.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
A small user group. I feel lost and puny when I try to go into a larger forums with hundreds of members.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
If the RPG was up and running, that would be great.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Yes. They are good at controlling people who are vulgar, profane, flamers and trolls. They provide fodder for discussion and make sure that each thread is in the proper forum. I don't really know what more you could ask for.

Website Info/Questions and Conventions/Fanclubs wouldn't be missed. Con details can be given out in the other forums, or as news items. The RPG should be removed if it is decided that it won't continue.
Are there any new forums you would like to see?
Nope.
What are your favourite things about Transfans?
The discussion, when on-topic, is mostly good and informative. I haven't seen any flame-fests to speak of. Most people write well and (except for occasionally odd British egg humor) are quite comprehensible.
What are your least favourite things about Transfans?
Website really doesn't offer much outside of the small forum. This is probably for the better, because there are already a half-dozen really superb websites that give you all the information you need.
What does Transfans have that other sites do not?
A small user group. I feel lost and puny when I try to go into a larger forums with hundreds of members.
What does Transfans lack that other sites have?
If the RPG was up and running, that would be great.
Do the admins/mods do a good job? If not, why not?
Yes. They are good at controlling people who are vulgar, profane, flamers and trolls. They provide fodder for discussion and make sure that each thread is in the proper forum. I don't really know what more you could ask for.

Judging by most of the General Discussions, you could task-manage a bit by just opening up a "beer" forum.
