SUGGESTION TIME

[fallon grimwood]

Sooo here's where you can put down ideas/suggestions you have for the site. Things you think need attention or things you'd like to see added... maybe contest ideas or something. Things to keep the site active and keep you interested!

That said - have at it!

[Mathew "Matt" Adams]

Yay! =D
Another site I was on was dead, and then came back. But what the admin did was delete everyone's old posts, and created a new plot and everything. Granted the plot was very similar, but it was a nice change. =)

Since a lot of people in plots are not active, maybe just start from scratch, leave everyone a member, but just delete the posts or archive them. (I know that would probably be a lot of work.) Because I'll admit, I wasn't active for a while, but I don't remember where my posts were, or if I even had any open ones.

Then this would give people another chance to start over with relationships/plots etc. Wow, I just rambled alot. Sowwy.

And the new layout is a brilliant idea! Go you! ;D

[fallon grimwood]

Lol I was thinking of archiving the threads, but maybe giving people the opportunity to keep them up if they want to continue them. Like start a thread and say "POST LINKS TO THREADS YOU DO NOT WANT ARCHIVED HERE" and any that aren't posted will be archived. But that way if people don't want to start over they can just pick back up?

Also rambling is fine! It's good! lol

And I'm glad you like the new layout idea ^.^ I thought it'd be a nice change of pace. Give the site a refreshed feel. Having the same layout (especially through a dead period) makes the site seem stagnant in my opinion.

[Ty Delarouge]

Yeah the new layout idea is a good one,it will make the site feel new and hopefully it will encourage people that have been inactive for a while to get back into it. I agree with what you said about archiving too.

Maybe a new plot development might shake things up again.... maybe a really juicy one lol

[Janet Numan]

Oh, Me! I have not kept up here at all! I have neglected the site so bad. I think a new layout will refresh a lot of things. And while I know there was a plot in the works, I think a good change is to have something more open. I was always a little confused on the site plot to be honest. I don't think that is why I stopped posting, it is because I have been rather busy lately. Not that it has changed much but I have since skimmed from other sites and want to get back here.

I don't want another year to go by, (my character have never really developed that much in posting) so I think if we could pick up a little bit of the past and create a new future would be ideal. And rambling is good for the soul...

[fallon grimwood]

What has confused you about the site plot? Perhaps I can clarify for you. I know my description hasn't been too detailed. I'm trying not to give anything away. I did intend to reveal a bit more of it to the public, but we lack certain key plot people so it's difficult to do that just yet. And it's supposed to be an open plot, but I was trying to find key players before just opening the roles up. Perhaps I could say "PM me if interested in a role." And talk it out and find a place for people to fit in? I don't want to list the parts we need... it sort of takes away from the mystery... Mystery is good I think.. I dunno.

/rambling

[Janet Numan]

I totally love mystery, lol, which is funny that there are times that I just want to know everything too! Honestly I did not really know where the plot was going. I know that there is an "evil doer" that is causing harm and panic. however i really hav not figured out the motives, which is really part of the mystery I guess. It is just me, it does not help being on other sites (sometimes I get confused easily)

I do like the idea of PM if interested in a role though

[Alexander Lyzander Catley]

I do like the idea of PM if interested in a role though

---------------------

I love this idea as well. This way even people who are not the key-roleplayers don't feel like they're subpar. I know I've also experienced the effects of the down time. I quit all other RPing except from this site though...I can already feel some of my muse return to me. I love the Mystery genre as well for the plot. I love being titillated.

[fallon grimwood]

Ok so I'll start up the PM if interested thing anddd anything else you guys want to see outside of the main site plot?

[Jasmine Razor]

I think we need more advertising. ((btw, i'm Matt too. =P)
If we could appoint someone to do some advertising on other sites, proboards support. stuff like that. =)

[Alexander Lyzander Catley]

Where's Lucian? Because I think that our admin seems rather busy a lot, whether with their real life (Yes, they tend to have those too! ), or with trying to get members and advance the plot at the same time.

I may be incorrect, but I think Lucian being back might help let you focus on one task at a time. I guess you could say my suggestion is to get a sidekick or something like Lucian. To share the burden? I'm not sure. XD

[fallon grimwood]

Mm, Lucian has been busy. I haven't even seen or heard from Lucian in months. He hasn't logged in since April so... while I can't blame him since the site has been dead, I might need to replace Lucian as my co-admin but with who and when I don't know yet.

We'll see.

[Alexander Lyzander Catley]

-shakes arms crazily- Oh, I wasn't trying to blame you or him, but I was just saying you seemed very busy.

[Avian Gray]

i was a little confused on what was going on with the plot too. i saw that there was an 'evil doer' and also a henchman. but i didnt really know what was gonna unfold from that. then i saw that someone made another evil character that was a demon i think, i thought there was something huge brewing up. but then the site started to die. :/

maybe to shake things up there needs to be smaller, kind of easier plots for people to join and have fun with. then those can lead to a huge plot that surprises everyone in the end? thatd be cool.

aaand i think if people want the site to flourish, then instead of making little plots that only include two people, to try to invite more people into plots or try to create bigger plots with more adventure, detail, people, crime, crazy ideas or what have you.

and i agree on advertising. we need to recruit more members, that are dedicated and have good posting skills, that way we'd get more people and a better site.

and if anyone needs any help with plot developments or anything, iv got characters just kinda lying around needing something to do. so dont be afraid to send me an owl regarding a character request or maybe help with your plot. i'd be happy to help to make the site more active. :]
