Funding, Spamming and Features

    Hey Everyone,

     

    I hope you're all well and enjoying Transtastic - it's been a month or so since I blogged about the site and how it's going - after an interesting and exciting week behind the scenes on the site I thought it would be a great to put down a few words about the site and where it's going next.

    This week saw the first agreement for advertisers on the site (well done April Harvey for getting them on-board) - but I make no appology for this as the site does need to cover its cost. Even with the first few ad banners going up this week we are still along way from where I need to be to break-even, but it does mean its fairer for everyone and that its not left to a few people to make donations. However - everyone needs to do their bit and invite your friends to join Transtastic. I know this is great site - but I need you to get the message out there by all and any means.... so please do your bit and tell the world. 

    We also had a number of spammer this week- more than any other week. The moderators behind the scenes have done a fab job - Pauline Smith especially but also April and Nicky too.

    To reduce the number of spammer I've introduced a new technology to stop known sources using the site - this technology will also help improve the speed and performance of the site too (a real win:win).

    I'm hoping that now the last few weeks are over - I can focus on some new features - making a 'lite' mobile version, and also some features to track who viewed your profile. I'm also going work on improved search too.

     

    I will also be annoucing a photo shoot that will be taking place at the end of August in London - so I will be looking for a small number of 'models' who would like to feature on the welcome page of Transtastic and also have the opportunity to be in a TG magazine article.

    But right now - I need to tell the world about Transtastic - and make it fantastic!

  • Deleted Member I cant think of anywhere else to leave this link, could create a banner html snippet to allow members to c&p onto flickr profiles etc, flickr is a great way to drive traffic to any site, most people know how to copy and paste too. Ill pass on the...  more
  • Deleted Member Be nice to be able to have the option of friends only messaging xx
  • Deleted Member Beccs, I love Transtastic, and while I do not have a strong connection to other girls (other than here of course), I will do what I can to pass the word. The only other real site I visit is a Canadian site, and it is generally a more sex-oreinted site...  more
  • Deleted Member Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd "hook-up" with more than just a few of the girls here...lol. And I wish I were to be in London at the end of the month....
