Suggestions to help make the forum more active

[m. Tanner]

1. I think you should have to register to be able to view some of the important sections. ie. MapleStory, Trading, Download, etc.

2. There should be a private server development section. With a "Release", "Development", and "Tutorials" section inside each parent forum. Maybe only include the games that RaGEZONE doesn't have.

3. Make the forum more appealing. As in, add more skin options, or change the default skin to something easy to look at.

4. More people need to make this forum useful, a lot of the things here can be found in other places. Google search doesn't seem to show NT much.

5. Delete sections that have a really low post count. Sections that are useless just take up space and make the forum harder to read.

6. Change the left and right margins of the forum. So that it doesn't take up the whole screen, like this.

The forum itself takes up the entire page, WIDTH-WISE.


Change it to something more like this....


I'll try to make this forum active again, by posting some private server tutorials and maybe release some of my stuff.

If you disagree with any of this, please do post, and tell me what you think.

I like this idea of a new threads for suggestions. stickied!

My ideas:

internet radio - we tried it once before when my buddy GhosT was around. I'd say it had mixed feedback. It was both successful and a failure in its own right. I've got the bandwidth and wouldn't mind setting it up so we could host a variety of things from talk, music, and NT announcements, etc...

internet shows - though not necessarily need to be done with live video cameras, etc. Nor requirement to be streamed live. Perhaps, best used as some sort of quarterly, or monthly depending on circumstances, youtube show or similar. Just something to ponder for everyone if the talent and skill is already currently available.

e-zine/e-newsletter - this was something that was already tried before. I liked it and I believe many others did. Sorry, I can't quite remember who was in charge of it; I apologize. I think we could arrange a less fancy, less frequent, version of our past endeavor and be pretty successful at it. This is a perfect opportunity to have people post their knowledge, works, papers, etc. Especially the graphic and video people. I vote for PDF as opposed to any other format.

Monthly prizes - I am more than willing to implement this into the ezine or radio or anything else similar. I have about 3TB of space much crap I could share. From apps, to music, to anime, and the like... I think it's a good idea for the community members, meaning those which have a decent amount of time, posts, respect, etc. you get the point. Worth looking into as a supplementary support for other experimental areas.

That's all for now, I hope others suggest more as well so that we may work towards a common goal and integrate our ideas and skills.
