General What's the impact of community feedback on your forum?

Discuss the impact of community feedback on the evolution of your forum or website.
How do you prioritize and implement user suggestions while maintaining your platform's vision?

When a website is in development and forming community feedback is super important because it guides the community in the direction that the possible entire community would like to see it go. Without feedback the administrators and staff members will simply keep carrying on typically and may not provide changes regularly.

I think that's one of the great things about Admin Junkies - Cedric is very open to feedback and we discuss all feedback. We may not implement everything, any may not implement it the day of either, but we do discuss it. This feedback and discussion helps us know what everyone wants to see and would like or benefit from.

My other part I'd like to mention the biggest thing is constructive feedback. It's hard to make everyone happy, but it is especially difficult to make changes if all you say is "I hate this website"... well what about it specifically, and what would you have us do differently? Change is important, but sometimes opinions are needed in order to benefit a community as a whole.

Community feedback has helped me add many new features and additions to the site. There are some things I would have never thought of if it weren't for the member's suggestions. Of course, not every suggestion is implemented, as I have to prioritize the more critical suggestions, but if the feedback makes total sense to the forum's destiny then I very well will likely implement it.

I try to change things based on suggestions, but sometimes people will say that dark cannot be a color for a music lesson forum and that leads to conflict, and I think that criticism is unreasonable and subjective.

I listen to the feedback I get from my members. It's made my communities much better, whether it's a feature request, a theme request or even bug reports. There's only been a few times where I didn't implement a feature that someone suggested and it was only because it didn't fit the niche of the forum.

Well, feedback is very important and I appreciate all feedback, even the negative ones. I even want not honor constructive feedback and implement on my communities but many times I cannot. For instance, people frequently suggest me to use premium software instead of open source, I agree with their feedback but I cannot do it because of lack of funds.
