I got two requests regarding the TOTM polls:

1) I can't access the TOTM poll helper tool: https://milovana.com/admin/totm/

2) I'd like a second person to take over the TOTM polls eventually. So somebody who is willing to help out needs to be promoted to admin.
Sonic was willing to do this, but that was some time ago now. It might be worth messaging him to see if this is still the case. If not, I suggest starting another thread and asking for volunteers while we have lots of willing people.
I would be willing to help, if my help is wanted. Not necessarily on the TotM, just a general offer. We would need if my abilities are enough for what you need and so on.

Great to see you here and great work getting the site back so quickly.

I would like to support users trying out making flash teases.

So aside from the editor link, I would recommend a straightforward route to allowing users to the flash tease link
https://milovana.com/nyx/

and a straightforward route to a tutorial on how to make them;
https://milovana.com/help/flashtease/
an introduction which i guess would be like this:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1033
tips and tricks
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4355

I would prioritize this change (if accepted) to be made after registering new users, based on the assumption that most existing users with the ambition to make a flash tease will probably have found the way by now.

Users have mentioned flash is getting disabled in most browsers and this would not be a good adddition, but I wanted to leave the links here for personal reference.

Wow, that alone, without any explanation, sounds like the worst idea I've seen this weekend. First of all, Milovana's main point is to provide things for free. Secondly, start making money out of this site, and you're going to have it down for good in no time (after all, most of this site is made of pictures and other content "borrowed" from other sites). Thirdly, premium membership is a straight and really fast way to create a competition that will do the same, but for free. It could only work when it doesn't give a real advantage over free members, something like Sissy Elise posted:
Sissy Elise wrote: Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:45 pmA few idea's for premium membership:
Coloured name tag
Unlimited registration invites
Premium forum category
Extra section on the left hand side of posts under profile pics to write a little "about you"
Badge in profile to let people know you are premium and help support by paying milovana
Extra smilies
Larger file upload size
Also, I'm not saying there shouldn't be any ads just to pay for the server. Like I wrote in my previous post, just keep them "civilized", don't make ads that cover the whole site, make sounds or are flashy.

Thanks for bringing Milovana back to life. I missed it while it was gone.

It seems to me that this incident kind of highlights the fact that Milovana is really a one man operation, and so perhaps this has just delayed the inevitable.

That said, I agree with the suggestions about monetizing the site in some way, and I would suggest a simple donation mechanism. I would be happy to make donations once in a while, and I'm sure others would too. I'm also for the suggestions made by Sissy Elise in this post regarding premium members (or perhaps sponsoring members is a better term). I'm sure there are other ways too.

Fix chat for non-clients. Its up but the website candy client cannot connect at the time of this post. Not sure if thats a simple reboot (which I can do) or something deeper in that needs to be addressed.
Fixed! :-)

I think once sign ups are turned on things will become a bit more clear, but as things stand, things have been incredibly quiet on the forums. The only issues have been the technical issues that the admins would need to deal with, or when problems arise in chat.

Thanks for the offer :-)

There's probably a considered approach to be had here. I am a memeber of sites that use premium memberships, asking something like £10 a year to access better avatars, bigger inboxes, etc, like Elise suggested. I think they call it "Supporter status" there are also things like, Amazon affiliated links, where you buy your goods through the link, and Milo gets a cut, I'm sure some sex shops would run a similar scheme. Given the sites subject there are bound to be partners that would link up with us and provide a non intrusive revenue stream that would be both advantageous to our members and themselves. It may not be mega bucks, but every little helps.

And of course, there are still adverts. I'm not suggesting we plaster the site in pop up ads and flashing boxes. But non intrusive ads here and there to help cover the cost really aren't going to ruin anyone's experience are they?

Well, the classic webtease editor is broken too. I can't add new pages to my current teases or create new tease. Could you please have a look at this problem ?

I don't like the idea, I'd like to keep my anonymity. :-( Advertising sounds like a better idea.

Flash is getting disabled in most browsers at some point this year due to its security risks.
So making links to the flash editor etc will only make more flash teases which could be made redundant this year.
Although Sepher0x may make the flash scripts work in htm5 or alternatively users may come up with a flash to html5 converter

You make a really good point there. Given the recent high profile incidents on sites such as Ashley Madison etc. Then "Premium Accounts" would make the site a target for hackers and only mean that an added investment was needed in additional security surely?

Yes, but most suggestions seem to revolve around the kind of "premium" memberships that are decorative-only, so no one's anonymity would be at risk unless they accepted the risk, and no one who didn't would be actually restricted in any meaningful way.
