Our Site Battles are currently closed as we work out some things.

Do you participate in the battles? If not, why not?

If you could make changes to the battles, what would they be?

What don't you like about the battles?

We'd love to improve things and we want to hear from you!
 
I can't really think of how you can improve it, It's set up to the point that we are just going in a loophole. Here are my twopence
  1. It's fun to enter and battle and see if we lose or win.
  2. It's always the same group of people with the same participating website. We are Battling with the same sites and getting nowhere.
  3. People vote but I do not think that members check out the site, they vote and post "voted" and then that's it, not all but there are.
  4. Awards are excellent and fun to receive but aren't like worthwhile, and aren't a wow factor for people to enter. Other than beating others on how many battles they won.

What things?

I do. They're fun and I think voting for a superior forum is obvious compared to why an inferior forum lost. If the losing competitor wants to know why they lost, then they should look at why their competitor won over them. Perhaps lurk on their competitors forum and look at their set up. Look at their content. Look at their layout. Learn from your loss and improve your forum.

If you could make changes to the battles, what would they be?

None. I felt it was self explanatory. It operates much like it does when you go to vote for a new president in the United States. When you go to vote, you have the same multiple choice. It doesn't beg you to explain why you're choosing that candidate.

What don't you like about the battles?

The allegations of a sore loser who accuses the voters of not doing their "home work" before voting. That "some" competitors whine that the members aren't explaining why they chose or they're accusing the members of not looking at their website before they vote. No, most of us look. We try to be fair.

I agree that would help a lot if you are a forum owner and ask those that voted why they voted for that site so that the site owner knows what he can improve or maybe what can change. Or maybe it's just preference voting more then bad or good 🙂
