can we use this site more

[LiL JaTT]

yo i know that bollywood teams fb page is convenient but cmon man we got our own site lmao

 

[HdBrar]

Totally agree. BTF was dying but that's just putting nails into the coffin. We need to bring this back.

 

[yomamajama]

I agree this site sucks

deadass

I like this site, but we have a better chance of adapting ourselves than expecting others to adapt to us.

 

[UmerQureshi96]

I think the only way to get this site more traction if we can make an app for our phones, not on my computer much except for work

correction: that's not a bollywood teams' page lol. "Desi" encompasses everything, including bhangra. All is welcome

 

[yomamajama]

We should promote fights; like back in the day.

Completely agree. Everyone just migrate over to the Facebook BTF until an app comes out lol

that and get rid of reactions on posts too, gives people a reason to reply to threads rather than just leaving a like.
Also please bring back the team flairs from old btf

but don’t you want more replies? Isn’t that the point? To get more traction on this site?

Also, can BTF please stop banning me.

Why not get rid of this site, and make everyone go in Facebook

 

[Sartaj_Singh]

This site already has a lot of useful threads and resources, would kinda be a waste to delete it. Plus its easier to navigate than a fb page imo.

why not link both sites together. Sometimes when I want to see a video on here, or hear a soundcloud link it doesn’t work. However, when I click the same links through Facebook they work.

Also, if we are going to keep this site we should expand the site to incorporate other Punjabi strengths, like comedy. Indeed, a comedy page where people can post either their tiktok, vine, or YouTube videos would bring more viewer traffic to this site.

Good suggestions @yomamajama

Naturally people will use what is easier for them -- fyi, BTF was started when most people had "dumb phones" - aka you basically only use them to call.

I understand people use a variety of discussion platforms/apps now on their smartphones - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, etc. Other social media platforms such as Snapchat, TikTok, etc are also very popular. I know Saleem had worked on making the website more mobile friendly, but I would love to see BTF better integrated into social media.

If you guys know any dedicated people experienced in website development (more so, social media platform integration) or better yet, Android + IOS application developers, please reach to @Saleem and myself. BTF has also been developed & ran free of charge using volunteer time. I am sure we can do some social fundraising if that's required, but ideally we always try to keep costs at a minimum.

Make a GoFundMe account, and blast the link on gtv videos.
