I think there are too many pop-up thingies and the server is often too busy. BP has a lot of good features, including editorials and open forums.
However, the majority of people only want to hook up with women with usernames like: thikwetnjuicy and send you notes: "sup ma, you lookin sexy, i'm trynna see wassup witchu...holla!"

Ugghhhhh...LOSER-FREE ZONE!!!

LOL!A male friend of mine constantly uses BP as a dating resource. He has the nerve to be frustrated when his dating conquests don't turn out positive. I keep trying to tell him that he is on BUSDOWN PLANET!

why has bp frozen my guestbook?? they say that "due to the high demand for guestbook" (aint it a dayum feature?!!) that all posts over 100 will be unviewable and uneditable ( i don't know if those are real words) until i register for mysurvey.com. at that time, my gb will be available for 1 week. then after taking one of the surveys, it will be fully accessible and i get 250 bonus points! this don't make no sense at all!!! (them fools got me using my bad grammar!) i'm so pissed...

and since i'm complaining...why can't i get a blinking light for email like i do for notes. and, the profanity filter is TOO high. i was trying to type my favorite authors, one of which is eric jerome dickey. why does it show on my page as "eric jerom *bleep*ey" what kind of mess is that??!!

CTFU yesterday I went to your GB and when it told me that mess I thought BOOOOOOOOOOO. Yes the filter is too high for sure for profanity but yet it lets people use stuff like CL*T. :rolleyes: :confused:

LMAO @ what you have to do just to let people see your GB.

It used to have a Blinking light for e-mail like oh back in 99 but it went away. :(

BP is boooooooooooooooootleg. Say it with me now, BOOTLEG.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BP BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just logged on to BP for what I don't know but I got this as a note:

Dear Simplyred04,

There's good news and bad news about Guestbook. The good news is that many of our members really enjoy this feature of our site (and when you're happy, we are too). The bad news is that the demand for Guestbook is so overwhelming that we need to find a way to pay for it (that is, the cost of extra space for hosting and maintaining). That means we've had to limit access for all our users. Existing posts will not be deleted, but you won't be able to view or edit postings once you hit the limit of 100 posts. :mad: :eek: :rolleyes:

Because we really would prefer for you to enjoy Guestbook fully, we've come up with two ways to restore all your Guestbook privileges:

OPTION 1: Clean up your Guestbook, deleting posts until you have less than 100 postings. Remember, if you go this route, you will have to continually maintain a total number of posts under the maximum allowable posts which may change.

OPTION 2:* Support one of our sponsors -- in this case, our research partner NFO/MySurvey.com - by registering for their consumer panel and taking the "First Chance Survey" (sent a few days after you register). NFO/MySurvey.com's membership is always free to you and it generates revenue for us (that we'll use to pay for Guestbook).

Who is NFO?

If you choose this option, you will gain access to your Guestbook immediately after filling in the short registration form for MySurvey.com. It will take another 10 minutes of your time total over a weeklong time period to restore your Guestbook privileges completely.

How does Option 2 work?

*If you're already an NFO member and want to restore your Guestbook, click here to verify your NFO username and password

Your membership is greatly valued and your help in maintaining your Guestbook is greatly appreciated and will go a long way to helping BlackPlanet.com.

Thanks,
BlackPlanet.com Staff

SAY IT WITH ME NOW: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTLEG!!

I'm so glad I never did sign up on the website. I just don't like that kind of stuff and listening to some of the prior posts I'm glad I didn't:rolleyes:

BP is definately hook up central. WHen I got on not too longa ago, I set up a page, but I didn't get all up in the other stuff beacause what I COULD get into was whack, and the rest took too long. I hate it when bamas send you a note, and this is what it looks like:

hi

WTF is that about LOL!!! I can't stand that mess. I had to fill out the stupid dating thing just so they'd leave me alone. My page is one of the few on BP with some substance, but without personal pictures, so I don't have that many things in my guestbook LOL. I mean is it a rule I gotta put a pic on my page? Most people just scan pages, and if there is no pic, they keep on going. That is retarded. Those folks need prayer. LOL And they forever messin up my page, talkin bout they "updating the system". I had more luck on Mi Gente, the latin BP, where some of my sorors have pages. Its faster, and the notes light actually goes out when you finish reading them.

As a suggestion to the original question, I suggest some sort of chat and instant messaging, that's a hot feature. I know people at some jobs can't open yahoo or aol, so having an IM medium on a site is cool for those people who are delinquents at work ( I know lots!!!) Also, a forums section with moderators that keep it clean and keep topics up when it gets slow. A Resource page with links to all kinds of stuff, with a section for memberes to make suggestions of links. And dating stuff is cool and all, but make sure its an option, not mandatory like BP.

I think BP has a way of degrading the representation of our people. As far as I've noticed all the sign on informercials are dealing with debt consolidation, credit cards, minority magazines, and jobs. What is this saying are the key things on our minds?

5 peeves of BP
1-Too many trash pictures
2-The BP dating crap, what the heck is all that about-it the site a place to hook up now.
3-No way to get in contact when you see a friend on unless you go into a chatroom
4-Chatrooms, not a big fan of them. And the private/personal ones on BP cut off like every 10 minutes even if the two of you are still in it.
5-The over all sight it's so dark and gloomy, can we get some color something a little brighter. Not all black people like to hide out in the dark corners.

5 better things of BP
1-Meet new people, some who are actually interesting
2-Free spot to represent yourself on the net with a chance to be seen
3-Ability to network worldwide
4-The interviews of celebrities, questions that people get to ask and have responded too.
5-That you can see how long your friend has been logged on (sad I couldn't find anything better than that huh).
