We are working to bring new improvements and focus to Toms Angels. In order to better serve you, we would like everyone to take a few moments to share what they think the best and worst things about this website are.

Please be honest. We understand that we cannot please everyone as different people are looking for different things, but it would be great if we could better please everyone.

Erm, material things? I believe there used to be loads of smilies but there aren't many now..
In the shoutbox, it'd be nice if we could edit our own messages. I know mods can edit all but members have the option to edit (through the archive) but it doesn't work :/

You're still updating atm so can't really say till we see what you're doing :p

I dunno what cba means. And I think smilies are best when simplified.

I think the home page needs media, live mp3's, wallpaper, stuff like that.

A freebie downloads section could be kool and pretty easy, members could submit to it too, keep it all nice and fresh. Competitions and the like for the best submitions or w.e.

Mp3s might get a bitta legal trouble...

And what do you mean Media? We had "Videos" (still updating atm, it had the AvA videos on it but will soon have all the blink and boxcar vids too)

Good idea imo :)

http://www.tomsangels.com/?page_id=53

That was the old link anyway, hopefully they'll all be embeded with all the newest stuff.
The link was on the navbar of the homepage but has been removed (with bios, discog and lyrics etc) while Devil updates the site

Is that why you removed them? I thought it was 'cause you were making them more accessible or something...
(EDIT: Which would be another suggestion, I never noticed the button to go back to the main page until you pointed it out to me.. A big obvious "HOME" button may be of use.. Or even change the banner's link to Home and make a "Return to Index" button or something).
Best get a move on hadn't I! haha
I've got links to most vids now btw, still not found a way to do it properly yet..
Discogs done, almost all my gaps are full now! (Thanks dots)
Still got two or three Bios to fully finish..
And I really wouldn't wait on the lyrics..

Yeah I remember I did all the bios a year ago.

There is going to be a completely different way to navigate to the homepage content. I would rather not make the transition until all of the content is ready because when there is something new, people will want to click on it. If the first time they see it it isn't done, they probably won't check it again :P

You probably wouldn't recognise them anymore ;)

Kool, intrigued by the new way..
And fair enough, I'll get them done by the end of the week f'sure. :)
Though tbf, once someones read a bio/the discog they probably wont check it again :p

On Topic - Twitter was a good idea, but it's not used well
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-updater-using-tinyurl/
Tweets for every new post (on the homepage)

Don't think FB and them are worth it for TA but updating Twitter with news updates from TA seems like a worthwhile venture, especially if that plugin makes it automatic ;)

do mp3's as well. I'll use a file sharing site as a hyperlink. IT'S LEGAL :) well to some anyways. I haven't paid for music in years. (shame of me)

I have a rule if I can get it free, I wont pay.

Bootlegs? Got a shit load I wouldn't mind sharing. But make it accessible after 200 post or a confirmation from admin.

Actually its NOT LEGAL. You can't have mp3 downloads. We all d/l free music, and have for years, you aren't special. We all know how to get them, so why risk tomsangels getting sued for providing copyrighted materials?

Or, looking in a book shop, only to find your book and ripping one page out because I liked a picture on it and putting it back?

Stupid analogy. No one will ever take the time to upload that book as a .pdf.
