Suggestions for the Funny or Die website?

Hey what do you guys think Funny or Die should add to the site, or change about the site? Don’t be afraid to say it’s perfect just the way it is, either.

I reall love the FORUM!!! This really is amazing! great work!

I think that every Wednesday should be cake day.

Cake day is cool. Or tits swinging day would be cool too. What about College posts! Funniest College??? Hmm? How about that?

I do like the forum. The more contact with audience and other creators of videos the better I think. Cheers

Tom

OMG, Emma Mack! I totally got that! Yes, we should bring Will Ferrell a cake on Wednesday and he’ll act surprised, but there will be cake because it’s cake day!

Not much I can think of to improve the site except keep more coming from Will and Adam. Oh, and I’d LOVE to see the outtakes from “Good Cop Baby Cop!”

It would be nice for those of us who upload videos to see how many people have voted “funny” how many have voted “die” and how many watched the video but didn’t bother voting. We get some sense of that with the ratings, but a little more information might be good.

You guys got to get more members, so there can be more discussion.

We want more members! Spread the word! Tell your friends to start chatting on FOD Forums. We want this to be a place for you guys to talk to us and each other. We’re trying to spread the word about forums, too!

I’d say get more featured videos on the front page (aside from the exclusive ones). And maybe a way for people to suggest videos to be featured.

A suggestion box where we can leave Will and Adam ideas for shorts. I swear… I have tons, and yet, I have NO idea how to edit the video I would take to make even LOOK presentable. They’d all have to be shot in one take (and how realistic is that?).

hey amber – that’s a really fun idea! in the meantime, maybe use the “networking” section of the forum as your own suggestion box. post for filmmakers in your area and hook up with people who have the means but maybe not the ideas. that’s the forum in action.

You need to update your splash page each day. Update the picks and rotate your stock.

We actually don’t have a splash page. But we do update our homepage with new videos daily. Our “Hot Right Now” section is continually updating with users videos that are getting buzz. As for staff picks, we update them as often as we can find Will and Adam (they are always on the move, running from the law).

Thanks for all your suggestions, keep them coming, they’re helpful for us!

Once again with my random ideas…

The site needs 100×100 and 48×48 icons for use on blogs & AIM/IM clients. How can the fans do our part and pimp if we don’t have purties to pimp with?

It would be nice if there was a way to replace our existing videos. I compressed my first two videos for the web, and then they were recompressed by Flash when I uploaded them to funnyordie.com. The double-compression leaves them looking kinda crappy. I’d like to be able to replace an existing video with a higher-res version that’s still under the 100MB limit. Currently I can edit information about my exisitng videos, but it doesn’t look like I can replace the video itself. Not a big, deal, just a suggestion. Anyway, I learned my lesson about over-compressing.

Amber and saltyunderpants – i passed your suggestions on to our tech team and they are going to try to incorporate both in our next release. thanks!

If possible, maybe uploading a photo for our profile, just so its not so anonymous :)

Wow! You guys work fast ! The site looks amazing!! Congratulations!

I just joined this forum today, and I can’t get enough! It’s great!

At this point Amy I think you guys are doing a GREAT job with all the upgrades and such, keep up the great work!!

Thanks, Mike! There is a wonderful team of tech geniuses who made these changes and we are all so glad you are using the new features and like the upgrade.

We were talking the other night about having a chat room set up, I dont know if that’s possible, but it would really free up the forums… just a thought

pancake breakfast, nuff said.

Just the usual gripe here … the site is all kinds of awesome but it’s really discouraging that most staff picks have not been updated in over a month. A mention there is the holy-freaking-grail of this site! P.S.: You can always make it up to me by including one of my videos in the next round of staff picks. :-)
