Names parked @ Bodis useless unless manually optimized?

[rabidgoose]

I parked some domains @ bodis the other night. I didn't keyword them or optimize them in anyway, this was just going to be my first look-see @ bodis.

But I noticed that if you view a bodis-parked name that hasn't been tweaked, all you get in the browser is a white page with "Domain requires keyword to function."

Is this Bodis' not-too-subtle way of telling me that I have to modify every domain I park with them before they'll show anything useful? Most monetization systems do a basic auto-optimization that starts serving info right away.

or a Support forum at Bodis.com...

If you try and get help with your adsense account they direct you to a google group thats not monitored by adsense at all.

Id be willing to join and help support bodis if they put up a forum. I think self support is the least we could do for Bodis considering they are giving us 100% revenue.

Exactly what I was getting at grwolz

Many sites utilize a site forum. Like Joomla for example. I'm sure part of Matt's congestion in the support tickets could be much lessened were one to be implemented.

peace,

Two simple ideas ( new options to be visible for registered users only ):
1. A decent *technical* FAQ would significantly reduce a number of questions/tickets. A little section with tips on domain quality would help as well
2. Matt is communicating through the forum. That's huge. A little blog with info like : 'October 5 stats are doubled, we are working to fix it" is even better. Three last blog posts on the Overview page - priceless...

Another one - maybe not so simple to implement:
Create a list of improvements people submit and allow registered users to vote. Maybe make the vote count different based on user revenue

All of the above provide information that is much easier to find than browsing [yet another] forum
