What one thing would you do to improve NSC?

I'd like my notifications to be listed in a drop down menu, or on the home page itself. Right now, you have to click notifications click either quotes or thumbs, then click through the thread. Then go back and repeat.

- Add an iOS favicon so when I bookmark the site on my phone I have a nice logo on my homescreen.

Also, to add a second "one thing", is there a way of making a standardised "official match thread" template? So we get consistent information, team lineups etc every game?

I was close to doing the very same (and even considered blocking the site completely to ad-blockers) recently

I have thought about £10/£15 per year for an NSC+ type account where you can choose to turn off ads
Surely the site is bringing in money as it stands?

Yes. You could start the match thread and make it consistent.

Yes, but occasionally people ask about no ads. Like most sites, NSC relies on a simple trade-off: you get a small bit of site usage comprised of server processing and bandwidth in exchange for your eyeballs passing over a few adverts. Hopefully, every now and again, you might click on an advert (On NSC, something like 1 in every 2,000 adverts get clicked).

So, if you want an ad-free NSC, your bit of site usage still needs to be paid for.

I see many other forums with premium paid-for memberships. I have no idea how successful they are.

I've seen it done on other forums- I belong to the largest mental health forum in the UK and they also use vbulletin - a live chatroom type thing. It works quite nicely on there (although I'm not sure they understand the term binfest), especially late at night, when there's no one to talk to. Just a thought perhaps?

We've had them in the past, most often used during matches by those who weren't able to get to a game.

I'll research the best options and add one again.

As much as I'm not in favour of separate sub-forums, Bikeradar has 'The Bottom Bracket', which is more relaxed in terms of language and picture content. .
It's a members only section that doesn't even appear as an option if your not logged in.
