Since you're all waiting until we're finally done with the damn game, this forum is our main place where people hang out (*psst*CHAT (http://qchat.rizon.net/?&channels=%23pokemon-universe)*psstt*).
I was wondering, what can we do to make this place (forum) an even better place, so more people will become active. We have ~1080 members at the moment but only a handful is active, this need to change!
Sooo, Do you want more/other forum categories? More topic variations? Other...things... name it...
Dump your brilliant idea's in this topic and we'll see what we can do with it. ;D
Current List:
- Spoiler tag
- Forum: Creative Discussions
- - Art Work (Pokémon related and Non-Pokemon related)
- - Fan Fiction & Writing]
- Forum: Entertainment
- - Other Entertainment (non-pokemon related discussions about tv-shows, movies, music)
- - Other Games (non-pokemon related discussions about games, consoles)
-
well I personally think that a chat box be integrated directly into the forums say like on the bottom of the main page at least (though i know we already have a chat box so its unlikely) just my opinion though
-
More categories. As it is right now, everything's kinda put under really general Topics. ;)
-
I think we should have a categories for:
Creative Writing For posting stories, poems and anything else related.
Artwork For posting hand-drawn artwork, and anything else related.
Fan Art For posting artwork/GFX related to Pokemon Universe, and anything else related.
GFX For posting artwork that has been modified digitally, tutorials, help and anything else related.
Coding For all coding help, tutorials, showoff and anything else related.
Gaming For sharing Xbox/PSN/Wii usernames, and anything else related.
Spam For posting all random crap here.
Computers For showing off software/hardware, help, bugs, and anything else related.
Politics For expressing political views, and anything else related.
Serious For expressing serious views, questions, arguments, and anything else related.
Anime For sharing anime/manga, favourites, and anything else related.
If we want to turn the forums into a thriving community, then I think these are necessary.

Thats good :D
But I wouldn't do the other things you wrote.
This is Pokemon-Universe. The forum should be about Pokemon.
And I don't think that people would care for your themes. Most of the users seem to be younger ;)
(I would give NinjaBlaze 1+Karma now, that was a good post imo)

There are lots of specific forums that have non-related categories for the members. Forums turn into more of a community as they grow, drawing people in for the member base, topics, and overall theme. ;)
I like NinjaBlaze's topics, especially the Artwork, Creative Writing, and Anime ones. If the inactive members see more stuff to talk about, then it might motivate them to post more. I don't think a big boom in member activity will occur until the game is released. So until then, let us (active) members help by creating some really interesting forum topics, via more categories. :)

I agree, but if we would have all these themes, the main theme would be lost (like lots of specific forums). And as written before, some themes like Politic are boring for lots of users.
Well, thats only my opinion.

Oh I quite agree. Politics are extremely boring. -_-
And well, not if the Team...titles it the correct way. Like:
Artwork:
Pokemon Related
Pokemon Universe Related
Non-Pokemon Related
or
Writing:
Pokemon Related
Pokemon Universe Related (for all those story plot writers out there)
Original
Book Discussions--or something of that nature

I would like to see the;

I second that.

=D Ill see what I can do. [spoiler]hmmm[/spoiler]

I vote for an art work forum :D Sometimes people get tired of seeing text, so seeing art work is always something new and different :]
Maybe even later when the game comes out, people will send in artwork with some sort of proof that it really is thiers, and there could be contests to win **in game** *special/rare* item(s) ;D

Or possibly shiny pokemon.

How about a way to view all the polls? so like a poll section where you can easily look through previous and active polls?
-
In the ideas & suggestions part you can start polls.
-

You can start a poll in all topics.
-
yes I understand that, but I think it would be cool if all the polls were stored in a separate sections, so that you can just flick through a list of the polls
-
I do like many of the ideas that NinjaBlaze brought up, alongside Mr_Dark's.
As far as implementing a chat box that would be connected to our IRC channel, that's just not going to happen. We would be flooded with join/parts.
-
Definantly add new forum categories.. The ones here don't really catch my interest too well. Try adding: coding, gaming, and such.
-
i like to use my phone to log on to the forum and i was wondering if there was anyway to see images like the trainer signatures or the avatar?

If you turn off "mobile view" in your browser settings you'll see the normal site.

Oh ok thnx :)

I changed the Quests board name to Quests & Plots.

How about some forum competitions?
We could create unique competitions for people to take part in, eg we could post a picture of a animal pulling a face (or a baby etc) and ask for a Caption?
Then the awards could be errm... err... hmmm... well it's hard to think of rewards (maybe they could be game related, when it's released?), we could offer karma or whatever etc (help me out here guys) but personally i'll think it will be a morally good thing :)
Also, I want spoiler tags... NOW! ;) :P
-
When the game is released, we could have a screenshot competition to decide the "screenshot of the week" or something similar to that.

add this iphone theme! Im not sure if it is compatible with version 2.3 but worth a try

I'm waiting till SMF 2.3 goes gold, then I'm upgrading the site + all plugins. I'll look into it.

[Problem] When i try to upload a png as my avatar it doesn't show anything. Every other format works well except png. Just thought i could bring that up here.
-
Well this isn't necessarily for the Forum but will a ranking list be added to the site?
-

Yes, use the search.
-

You must not be so "interested" in this site because you keep posting ideas that have been thoroughly talked about.
use the SEARCH bar at the top right, and skim through other people's ideas before posting anything you THINK is "New".
-
Well you see that's the thing I typed ''ranking in the search bar and I didn't find any other source and then I typed it again once I posted my question and that was all I saw, is there something I am doing wrong?
-

Yeah, there is something wrong with the search, so it's not always displaying the right results (or they are somewhere at the bottom of the page). I'm trying to fix this.
-
How about a place in which people can write their own little journals in which they can talk about their life or whatever they want to talk about, if the journal isn't replied to or updated for 30 days then it will be deleted? I know I would like to do this (BTW this has nothing to do with the game process or whatever) I got the idea from >>> http://www.muzicforums.com/member-journals/
-
well i have a suggestion, i think a category specific to role-playing would be a good idea
-
i would like to see a player drawn art section cause its amazing what some people can draw
i know someone mentioned this but art contests would be cool if we could vote in the forum and the winner could win something in the game when its released
-
We do. Theres a whole section devoted to it
