I received lots of interesting comments in the birthday thread and would like to list them here for discussion. I would also take the opportunity to announce that the ten winners of the Ghacks T-Shirt have been picked and that they should have received an email by now asking them for their preferred T-Shirt design, size and location for shipping.

There have been some interesting comments regarding Ghacks in general. Some of you mentioned things that you would like to see changed or added and I would like to list those in the following paragraph and ask everyone to contribute to the discussion.

Some of them are impossible to fulfill because of restrictions either imposed by coding or monetization but I’m confident that some additions can be implemented in no time to add to the value of the site:

  • Make the header logo clickable and link it to the homepage.
  • Categorize the blog, add icons to categories, additional RSS feeds(?)
  • Better Search
  • More images in posts
  • Cover additional operating systems
  • Add Social functions, more interaction

Some of the points made are clear and easy to understand. I would like to receive additional information about adding more interaction to Ghacks. It would be interesting to see what readers like here and what they do not want to see. I’d also like opinions on the state of the site search, more images in posts and better categorizing the articles.

I was also thinking about something totally crazy. How about an ad free version of Ghacks for subscribers who pay a low yearly fee for that? I’m not sure if there would be interest for this at all and it probably would depend on the price for that as well. The benefits would be a cleaner design and faster loading times basically. What would a reasonable amount be?

If you have anything to add, be it new ideas for Ghacks, comments on what already have been said feel free to comment in this thread. I value every comment. Even a “don’t do this please” is good enough for me. The more comments the better.
