It's good to hear that admin/admins have finally stopped neglecting the site and ignoring all the problems. To be honest, I really thought the only way at this point would be waiting for a copy of Milovana site made by fans.

Many people wait for TotM coming back from the dead. After all, it shouldn't be admin's work, rather something managed by moderators.

I'd suggest finding a replacement for ads, that are neither annoying, nor flashy (like the HumiliationPOV ads were, with the same color palette as the rest of the site), so you could keep the site running at low cost.

Thank you seraph0x :).
I've been on this site for almost as long as it exists. It's so great to see you still working on this project.

Here are suggestions that I would see fit:

- Make money with this site!. Like premium membership. Anything that works. I know you cant just do google ads. But you put so much work into that site and it should at least make some kind of profit in my opinion. You deserve it.

- A mobile version would be awesome. At least for the web-tease viewer.

- A user-search based on location and interest would also be sweet to maybe meet some fellow milovanians irl.

I would be against premium membership if revenue is needed for the site I would suggest a patron to begin with and if that wouldnt be enough we could talk about premium members etc..

I think its a good idea
Money is a good motivator :thumbsup:

A 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

Thank you for your diligence! Like you, I run a few sites/services (not adult-related) that have been pushed to the back burner in recent years but only come to mind when the periodic problem occurs. Heck most of them I've pretty much moved from home-grown to subscription services (ie forum sites) just to keep things easier for me.

As one of the folks who's seen this site grow and thrive for the past decade-ish or more, I am glad to see the community sticking around, remain high quality, and vibrant. So anything that helps keep us together is a plus in my book.

While my geek-fu skills are NOWHERE what they used to be, I'm happy to contribute $$ or archive resources (and of course ideas/operational efforts) if or as needed to help keep this site going.

Thanks again for the writeup and recovery efforts this week. Onwards for another decade! ;)

I also can't make a new tease.
Should be fixed now! :-)

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.

Hooray! Thank you for all your ongoing hard work in maintaining the site and, especially, in getting it back on the air.

Thanks for your work. :love:

Having registrations open should also bring more content on the site. That is key.

Other than that, slow improvments to features and usability are apprecitated.
I'd also recommend to at least widen the admin team a little bit, to split work and resources.

I'm NOT for charging money. The whole site is pretty much on thin ice regarding copyright of images etc. If one would "really" make money on it, this might be a target for companies and such. Covering costs is one thing, but making a profit is another.
That said, I WOULD pay for this awesome project! ;)

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 never posted any message on this website.
But today, you show us your pugnacity.
The only thing to say is "thank you".
You did, you do, and you will do great job.
Stay alive and take care. :yes:
Yours

Thanks for coming back and saving it :P I think it's cool that you realise you don't have the time Milovana needs and that's fine,b ut I would try find another admin who is willing to do what you can't right now E.G. various admin mentioned, TOTM, etc.

Just adding my voice to the many saying THANK YOU for coming back, Seraph0x, and for resurrecting the site.

Also agree with most of the feedback here regarding a backup admin or two and some new people being added to the mod pool.

I also agree that there should be some way for you to defray the costs of operation. If you were to start a Patreon, or start premium memberships, I would participate.

Looking forward to registration being fixed! Hopefully the awesome progress being made with TeaseAI can resume :)
