What do you want ???
Permalink  
 

Okay, so we're just starting off and getting the ball rolling here, and it occured to me that while we're going along blissfully making new friends and generally talking about our day, we have yet to address the issue of what you, as members, would like to see included here - either now or in the future that may help enrich your time spent here. We are afterall a community, and each of us have ideas and opinions of things we may have seen onother sites and would like to duplicate. Maybe something no one else has even thought of before? Well, this is the place to start brainstorming.

Bear in mind again that this is a new FREE site and as such, some suggestions maye be completely unrealistic right now. We may, as the site grows, decide to look into other things, but for now try and keep your ideas and suggestions as relevant and as constructive as possible. Remember, this is an all-ages general discussion social forum. Be practical. But be creative too. We've all been to sites that have started off with great potential and still fizzled out due to inactivity, an unwillingness or inability to evolve, member in-fighting, apathy, or a general decline of interest for whatever reason. The point is we want this to work, and we want you guys to have as much fun as we do. If you don't tell us what you'd like to see we can't read your minds. We'd try, but unfortunately that's highly invasive, not to mention arguably impossible, and besides the police and civil libitarians may get mad at us - and we don't want to risk offending anyone in these early stages angered.gif *lol*

 

SO having said all that, please feel free to post suggestions, no matter how big or small, as to what you'd like to see, and what you'd like to get out of this site.

We appreciate your taking a leap of faith with us as we charge into the wild unknown here. It may not be perfect, and there will undoubtedly be rough patches, but with your help (and a little luck and good management XD) we will hopefully continue to grow and prosper and maybe even be around for a while yet wink.gif

 

Thanks again to all.

You want ideas? I got a plenty. smile.gif Here's a few to start with:

1. Contests. The prizes don't have to be major, but as soon as this board gains more users, contests are just the cure to keep the already joined users occupied and attract new ones to the site.

2. A games section. A section for different kind of forum games. If possible, it shouldn't increase your post count though, because otherwise it will increase spam.

3. Awards, with categories like member of the month etc. Pretty much like the contests thing, only this would be something to which nominees would be picked for and then voted on. I arranged a thing of this type last year with the admin of LPP, JNudda, and it was a really fun thing. I'll be glad to organize a similar thing again incase there comes an oppurtunity to do so.

1. Ravynlee and I are in talks for a wallpaper competition that will be announced soon. But our number right now restricts us a little bit. So when we start growing a bit more we will hold more competitions for different things.

2.  I can't disable post count in any of the forums, I can only make them public or private. But I will have a talk to Ravynlee about a possible games section.

3. I reiterate - when we have more members we can start doing award thingis, like Quills Awards (member awards), but since it's still early days we have to halt that thought, but we will keep it in mind. A lot goes down in the Mod forums.

 

Thanks for the heads up too Jon2. smile

Good ideas Jon2, thanks!

Jack and I were talking about a possible Games thread, and competitions, having dealt with similar things in previous forums. Personally we think they're good ideas. Logistically at the moment, not possible yet. We'll look into that, promise.
And it's funny, I had to smile when I read your post. Given that things in our previous forum where we were both members and met have been going downhill, we actually had voiced similar suggestions in an effort to boost morale over there - all to none avail, unfortunately. But good to see great minds really do think alike! Cheers, sir!

Indeed, we are constantly in talks behind the scenes here, and will continue to be because like you guys we want this place not just to be entertaining, but successful too!
The remedy to getting some things done at the moment is all about obtaining new members - so people, get out there and promote, promote, promote!
(Sounds like an advertisement for a used car dealership; Sell! Sell! SELL!! *lol*)

Okay, granted it's early days. And we have things we'd all like to see happen here in the future. I know as Jack said we're restricted at the moment, but that hopefully won't always be the case. If you want to see something please tell us. If we can use it, and we think it will benefit the site, we'll do our best to integrate it in. As always, remember a community is nothing without it's members, so if you don't contribute, we can't either.

my only suggestion that hasnt already been mentioned is Journals ow and maybe a thread for just talking possibly a bit like Random Thoughts Mrs. White but yeah memebers journals I know comes with two problems really, 1) Possibility that they can cause friction between memebers 2) the fact we only have a small number of memebers at current

Anyway, my 2 cents at the minute :)

EDIT: I've just posted a Formula One thread in the general discussions section and it got me thinking after seeing the Art section, if it might be an idea to have sport as a its own section since we're trying to attract more members and it might add some more diversity to the forum cause to me at the minute we favour music (Rock/Metal) and writing. Its just an observation really

When Members Journals come into play there will be rules in play and abided. If the rules are failed to be upheld by the member, mod/s and I will discuss and enforce the most correct measures.

All good. Since that thread had been originally posted and moved to sports section, the duplicate thread has been deleted. Next time rather than create new ones of already existing threads, please inform either Jack or myself and we will move or merge the threads together. Thanks biggrin.gif

Great suggestions all. This forum is just getting better and better.smile

I have one more idea, but I'm not sure can you make it happen since this is a free site:

A reputation/karma system. Allows users to give each other kudos.

Sorry until Sparklit (the server) develops a new version of the forums I can't add rep or karma. It's not even in the Gold Member (aka paid) features. But I'm hoping when I do get a decent income in, I will become a Gold Member if these forums keep on improving. I really want that chatbox feature dammit. Lol.
The reason why I choice Sparklit for the server, is because ages and ages ago, I had a forum on here but it kinda went dead and it's improved a lot since last time using all those years ago XD So I know the basics to where everything is already. I tried using invisonboard and that but nup, didn't like it, it was rather user unfriendly.
