Parodius Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 More events make an interesting forum. Doesn't even have to be board-wide event. Perhaps an event like an art contest in the art boards, or maybe a parasprite swarm has descended upon Hoofington RP area, or perhaps rising tensions between pony and gryphon nations....other ideas would be board styles for each event. Is it getting close to Winter Wrap Up Day? Perhaps those houses in the banner get a nice coat of snow. Is the next season within reach? A countdown counter somewhere might be amusing.True, a place to put all our various files and images and stuff would be nice... but there's many places on the internet to host stuff and it's just a link away....a wiki might be interesting. Tell where a pony is from, who they know, what they look like... or look up a town and find out what ponies live there, where is 'close' to that town or area, or what notable places are in that area. You could also have info on members there, if someone wanted to look up that member. It would make things even easier to find when someone needs more info on something. Also, if we develop board-specific canon about something, then the information could be put there as well for ease of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systemdertoten Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'd like both a gallery and more events, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkwell Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I honestly don't know whether I'd prefer more events or a members' gallery. Both seem like they would have their pluses, though I have to echo sentiments warning about having too many events. I don't know how often I would hold events myself. Maybe we should experiment with it, but I would put them at least three months apart. And then there's the matter of how long these events should take. I dunno, it's something to think about.

buxy Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I love the idea for more events, be they contests or RP events. I'm also a big fan of Techno Tealeaf's idea for a spotlighted character of the week. It'd be a great way to spread the RP love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Krackle Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm all for the members gallery! Especially if I churn out enough PMVs as I'm planning. Though, should more events like the Gala happen, I may be encouraged to actually RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Members Gallery and/or FanFic repository.I like this idea on principle, but it have to be subdivided in some way so pony's art or stories are not lost in a seas of work on one very long thread.No no... a separate system, not just somewhere to post threads on the forum.More along the lines of... our own Deviant Art.I wasn't sure at first what the difference was between a FanFic repository and what we already have in the creativity forums, but that actually makes more sense. Having a portfolio of arts done by users with thumbnails and the such. It would make it much easier to navigate and find old arts that we have done or seen here in the past. Fan art moves quickly.
