More of a suggestion...

[emberclaw]

I think I've quite fallen in love with this place. ^_^ But there are a few things I would probably change if it were my forum. I know it's probably been like this for a long time, and forgive my intrusion - especially considering the fact I'm so new - but I have a lot of experience in roleplay and I just thought I would announce my opinion for the world to see.

Anyway, suggestion #1 addresses the amount of forums. Having so many terroritories is a very nice feature, but... it can also overwhelm new players. I know that when I came here, I almost decided to continue searching for another roleplay simply because I was afraid that, with so many forums, any post I made would be easily overlooked. What I would suggest is simply to make more sub-boards. You could have a category labeled "The Clans", and then have each clan listed. Upon clicking that clan's name, it would next display a list of their terras. No problem. I've owned many proboards before, and it's really easy to move the forums around like that. ^_^

Suggestion #2 is mostly just a pet peeve of mine. I can more than understand the ease of having one global account to reply to everybody with, but maybe you could make it a requirement to at least create an account with the character's name. Even if it were never used, there seem to be so many cats in this place that for newcomers... it can be a little daunting trying to create an unclaimed name. If someone were to make an account with a name already chosen, they would know right away to pick another.

Suggestion #3 - I'm BORED. Lol. I would be THRILLED to make a layout for this place. I only have two examples of my work, but they should give you an idea of what I can do:

amorak.proboards54.com/index.cgi
unyieldingchaos.proboards56.com/index.cgi

Thank you!

The first suggestion doesn't really appeal to me though I've made quite a few roleplays that way. It might confuse new players and with as many baords as WU has, it would annoy me to have to scroll down so much in one subboard. It's just something that annoys me.

The second suggestion would make a lot of players who like to come up with names unhappy. Just ask around and you'll hear about some of the names Cookie, Stormy, Streamy, Dessie, and I have had. We like to make up names for ourselves and just, most of the people have reached or maxed out the character limit and can't really choose which character to put as their name.

The third suggestion would have to be taken up with Dessie, I know she's currently working on a skin so I don't know how she'll feel about it.

I hope I don't sound like I'm knocking your ideas, they're good ones, just not really for this site =/ I may partially be a little prejudice against changes on this site since I've been a member since August 2005, but it's initially up to Dessie and the other admins.

I think that you have a good idea but if we did all the changes I think some of the ppl who have been here for quite a while would be a bit confused because they've memorized where everything is and such and wham everything gets changed.
