Ways to improve the site?

[lightspeed15]

This topic is made to suggest any features you would like to see on FWC, please share them, but keep them appropriate, please.

I think a good question to ask is what can't we have added on to the forums? I think that a more pleasing, attractive interface would be a contributing factor. The music thing would be a good idea, too.

[lightspeed15]

Well after listening to what Throndir and Hasa said, I think we'll have to drop the music idea. People just have such different tastes of music...what we could do alternatively is make a forum game called "share a song" and each person posts a song they like, can be a video game music or real music (as in singing and stuff). Just an idea, you can take it up if you wish.

[Emperor Wilbers]

That's a great alternate. However, how would we post the songs on here?

[Throndir]

You can post media/files, take a look into this thread:

[Emperor Wilbers]

Might I suggest something?

I encourage everyone to be more active on the forums. I know that everybody is already active, but what I mean is rather than posting infinite amounts of new posts we could reply to older ones such as ones in the general discussin and spam boards so they're not just wasting space. Plus, it would get you more posts, and increase the Google rank by having more stuff, and essentially, we get more members, and an even better community.

[Throndir]

Getting more Google Page Rank is from linking too. The best to get more activity is to really start a project, then advertise for help, and linking them to these forums saying that these are the "development forums for my project" and "if you help me out, please register! :)"

[Emperor Wilbers]

I would like to add my two cents, please! lol.

Picture this: [I hold my hands up parallel to each other like they are things that go on the side of a horses face to keep them from getting distracted by the crowd on the side of them.]

I think we should have a child board in Under the Bard's Tree called Hall od Stories, or Library of [insert desired word here]. What I have pictured is this: A certain number of individuals (all of which volunteer) form a council of people that "grade each person's work, if that author requests. If seen fit by the council they will ask permission from the author of the work to have their work displayed in the [Library, database, collection, etc.], where it will be seen as a work of art for all to see.

However, if you think that it is too "1%," and is too socialist, then please express your opinions stating whether why or why you do not want this approved. "Thank you for your consideration."

[Emperor Wilbers]

I was looking at the website and saw a "Guides" section. It obviously had nothing in it. I was wondering if someone could add a board somewhere on forum to put guides to help with creating a fantasy world. I would like to write a few guides.

[Throndir]

Sure if you like. I'll recreate the section that was once there. It'll be under FWC Projects.

Hello, fellow Americans. I come to you today to tell you of pressing news...

JK. 

I have an idea for a forum RP, sort of. It would BASICALLY be a politics, simulation, sort of game. You have no idea how strongly I emphasize "BASICALLY." First off, you would be the leader of a new country. You would decide your government and economy type, be it communism, socialism, democracy, capitolism, etc. You would basically just coexist with other nations and see how it goes. This is just an idea. If it seems too large a project for our fledgling society then PLEASE, say something.

[Throndir]

xD It reminds me of these country games that people play on some forums. They use a map too to determine what areas are under control. I think they make it do wars too and the point is to gain more territory. I'd be willing to do it~ But you should always do an interest check to see who else you can count on before starting. xD And also how it would be played, and what rules there are and stuff like that.

Getting people from outside FWC works too, and that way more members would come. :D

[Emperor Wilbers]

Okay, We'll see how many people are willing to do this. Also, for anyone reading this. GAT ACTIVE! The forum games have been quiet. post, post, post!

[Hasabushi]

Used to do a similar thing with star trek on some old forums rather than countries it was systems. It was quite detailed. I would be up for a political strategy game :D

[lightspeed15]

Maybe we should make a FWC app for the App Store, once we get enough members that is. Before we even think of that, we need to make a target member number of maybe 100.
