Anyone who wishes to join can post in this thread.

I think the first issue that needs disscussion, is some suggestions Shane made for the board. She suggested boards for Recognition(birthdays etc), a board for welcome back and leaving threads, as well as a board for MotM.

[Surly Professor]

I joined a while back, but never got added.
Anyway, about the Recognition board: I think we should just have a stickied "Birthday Thread". And seeing all the people making "Back" threads we should have a thread for that too; at least until the wave has crashed. MOTM seems ok how it is now; if it ever gets done that is.

[Pidgeot79]

I want to join. I'l innovate that place back and forth, and perhaps even back again.

[MystiKal]

I'll join.

One thing we need to get started is the Member of The Year awards.

[Pidgeot79]

I would like to say that MOTM is rather pointless, and MOTY is the only thing that should be done.

Hmm. Good point. Perhaps we could do a MotS(Member of the Season) Then it wouldn't be once a year, but not as rushed as it being once a month.

i like the idea of a birthday thread, but I think that seperate threads, while taking up more space, makes it feel less personal. It really depends on what is more important.

And yes VT, we need to get MotY started as soon as possible. If someone could get me a list of categories I would go ahead and make the thread.

[Surly Professor]

MotS would be better. But do we do it by quarter or by actual season?

Seasonal:Spring = March 21 ~ June 20
Summer = June 21 ~ September 20
Autumn = September 21 ~ December 20
Winter = December 21 ~ March 20
Or
Quarterly:Q1 = January 1 ~ March 31
Q2 = April 1 ~ June 30
Q3 = July 1 ~ September 30
Q4 = October 1 ~ December 31
Quarterly is much easier to keep track of, but we could still just call it seasonal.

Personally I don't see any real point to birthday, leaving, or back threads, but if we gotta have 'em; put 'em all together in one thread to keep the clutter down. We already have too many forums.

Also for the leaves and birthday threads. Just make a sub-forum for all of them.

[Surly Professor]

You forgot the new "Best Spriter" category. :biggrin:

[Pidgeot79]

MotS would be better. But do we do it by quarter or by actual season?

Seasonal:Spring = March 21 ~ June 20
Summer = June 21 ~ September 20
Autumn = September 21 ~ December 20
Winter = December 21 ~ March 20
Or
Quarterly:Q1 = January 1 ~ March 31

Yeah, that's better than monthly. We need some more interesting topics in there as well.

[Neo Pikachu]

Yeah, I also agree that Member of the Season would be better than month. 12 times a year is quite a lot...

[Karisuma-Teichou]

Doing it 12 times a years is a lot seeing as how not that many people vote. Although I do like the season idea we just need to remember when this start.

I think having a sub-forum for Birthdays would be good because yuo get that once a year.

Can I ask how Pika57 was made Captain of Other Chat....when I was the only one that posted idea's for it? If so then anything having to do with my idea's I must see seeing as how I seemed to be the only one that took a good hard look at that section and tryed to come up with something.

[Surly Professor]

But why do we need a whole forum for something people only get once a year?
Leaves & backs only come in fits & starts so one thread each could contain them and be much more orderly. And the MotS/Y is only 2 threads every few months.
Lets just make a few stickies instead of making another forum for this "time to time" stuff.

Pika57 won the position with unanimous votes from the TMI executives. We discussed this pretty carefully in an AIM conversation yesterday, and that’s what we had agreed upon, as well as the other captains in for their own sections.

It was based on a lot more than just who put out the most ideas.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

It seems kinda hard to be made Captain when you haven't posted anything about it. I thought it was based on peoples plans on the section. That's why I went through and did it because no one else had even bothered to do it. I gto some good reactions from my ideas yet someone else gets the spot when I saw that they haven't posted anything about the section. When they get the spot they think they can put my plans into action when they haven't even talked to me about it. It's not like I'm that hard to reach. Not to be mean but I come up with ideas et someone else gets the glory.

To me it sounds like you’re angry at Pika57 because he’s using your ideas. We’re meant to work together as a team, if you’re submitting ideas to the TMI, then we’re all going to do our best effort to work on them and make them possible. You can’t “steal” ideas from another TMI member, because those ideas are on the behalf of all of the TMI, not just one individual person. This is not meant to be a competition among ourselves…

Second, I really don’t want anyone to think that because they didn’t make captain that it automatically means they’re no longer considered and their voices aren’t heard. No way. Captains are the ones in charge of their sections and seeing to it that the best ideas are put into action, and that everything is in order. But it's the individual members of each section working together that makes the biggest impact.

This isn’t something that should be annoying you that much, Tony. Everyone here doesn’t need to be a captain to make a difference.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

Well you were sappose to fill out an application to become a Captain and all the current Captains filled one out but Pika57 never did. So what was the point of that? I haven't really see him do anything sence I posted my ideas. You think it doesn't bother me...well in a way it does. I do everything right...fill out everything I'm sappose to, and take time out of my life to help with something and I get nothing. If yuor gonna do it...do it like you say your gonna not not what you wanna do.

[Pika57]

Shane, i beleive I was as suprised as you were. I didn't know they were going to make me captain. I hadn't really thought about applying at all. All I do know is that they had a reason for choosing me. I don't know what it is.

If you feel something is going to happen by you arguing(for lack of a more appropriate word, because it isn't exactly arguing)that will benefit this department then feel free to continue.

Now to buissness.

Surly, Quarterly is good, Easier to keep track of than seasonal.

And if we are going to make a welcomes and leaves board, it might as well also have birthdays. So just one sub board for that should work.

Also we need to start on MotY as soon as possible. I may go ahead and put the threads up today.

Also, as far as i know, the votes fro mthe November Motm were never tallied. I'll also try to get that done.

[Sky Girl]

Why can't we just have one big "Recognition" board? It covers everything. Recognizing Leaves/Welcome Backs, recognizing Birthdays. Then we could create a sub-forum for MotS and MotY.

Having MotS quartly is definately better than seasonally. But would we call it Spring MotS, Summer MotS, Fall MotS, and Winter MotS? If we did that it should probably go like this - January 1 ~ March 31: Winter / April 1 ~ June 30: Spring / July 1 ~ September 30: Summer / October 1 ~ December 31: Fall

Shane, don't worry about it. It doesn't really matter who the leader is. We all work together anyways. Plus, I'm pretty sure the MotS idea was borrowed from Dani and she's not in here getting mad at everyone.

One last thing, this is my "join" post.

Welcome to the department.

The recognition board is good. However If we move to MotS/Q, I guess a sub board would be nice for that as well. ASnd naming each quarter sounds muc hbetter than just Quarter 1 Quarter2 etc.

[Surly Professor]

Would we call it Spring MotS, Summer MotS, Fall MotS, and Winter MotS?
If we did that it should probably go like this:
Winter MotS: January 1 ~ March 31
Spring MotS : April 1 ~ June 30
Summer MotS : July 1 ~ September 30
Autumn MotS : October 1 ~ December 31
That arrangement seems to make the most sense.

Please excuse my rearrangement of your post SkyGirl it was only to make the seasonal layout easier to see.

[Pika57]

I'm going ahead and putting up MotY. Or at least for now it will be that. in awhile I'll probably put up a thread explaining the new system.

[HKim]

Another idea I would like to bring up is a Hall of Fame. Neo and I discussed a possibility earlier and it seems like a good idea.

There are many contests and events on the forum. Yes, the winners do win prizes, but perhaps we can do more and honor them in a Hall of Fame. It should be a simple thread that lists members based on what awards they have won and such. Similar to both the PE2K Art Museum and the URPG Record List, the Hall of Fame would stands as a totem to the accomplishments of the members.

Hmm... cool thought...

[Pika57]

Yes Double Post... Won't kill anyone.

Hkim brought up the idea of bringing back the commedy competion, that was normally used in WAR.

I like the idea and think it would be a fun thing to read.

My thoughts: Maybe once a month, to give everyone time to get it done. A poll would be good for deciding the winner, as judges are often hard to come by.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[He-Man Woman Hater]

Miscellaneous idea: I'm hearing complaints over from the RP and Fan Fic areas of lots of pointless threads that sometimes mods don't notice. My suggestion is this: if we have one thread, most likely in Other Chat, where people can post links to threads anywhere on the forum that they think should be locked. That way the moderators can check there to see if there's any jobs that need doing, making it easier for them, and better for everyone as the forum gets tidied up.

Might be a good idea actually. VT used to help me by pointing out threads that I sometimes overlooked and didn't catch. Not every thread easily looks like spam (even though there are plenty that do).

[Surly Professor]

That's really the sort of thing that should be handled through PM.
Having a thread like that is just asking for drama.

[Neo Pikachu]

Well, my only thing with that is... which mod do you PM if none of them are on? Do you PM one, or PM them all? And if one, who should it be to ensure that it's taken care of?

Other than that, you're right though. That's been my only problem with it...

[Pika57]

Its a good idea, but people just need to use the report button. I do, but i've heard from lA I'm one of the only members who does. If it was used more, then we would'nt ned a thread like that.

Well, only thing with that is it clutters up your email. Yeah, it works all right, expect it sends ALL mods an email.

I remember getting 20 emails whenever there was a bad spam attack. It's a lot to delete, but yeah, it does get your attention. I guess that can work, but it seems like there's no surefire way of handling it without some kind of drawback.

But for now, just stick with the report button. That's probably the best way to handle it.

I like the idea of the poll. Letting members decide what entry is the funniest. I'm sure there will be a lot of insanity, but all entries inappropriate to the forum should be disqualified. I'm sure you know what those entries would be.

Do you plan on running it yourself or will someone else do it? Also, anyone have a name for it?

I don't know. If anyone is intrested in running it they can go ahead and post here.

As for the name... I hope I someone has a good one...

Comedy competition? How does this work? What is it like a funny story, or a joke, or what?

In the WAR a topic was made and competitors would write a screenplay or make a picture or something.

Whatever gets the best laugh out of the members. It is considered the most insane section of the War, but also one of the most active. Certainly reading the section can be a very... interesting moment.

Ha ha, that's definitely true. I've also had a blast writing stuff for it too.

*pst* Harry is awesome humor fodder!

Unfortunately for me, Neo speaks the truth. Just like all other comedy, making fun of the forum leaders is always popular.

This looks like an easy contest to get going in terms of organization. Shall we make it monthly or is that too long?

Monthly sounds a little too long. Let's keep in mind that PE2K banner of the week is only like... a week.

Biweekly at most sounds best, otherwise people easily forget about it and lose their interest over it. Besides, most humor entries that were done for the War were only one post long. They don't take that long to write...

Now I just need to figure out if anyone is intrested in running it. I'll do it if no one is.

Also we need some topic ideas...

Hobos, fashion, noodles, nuns, and computer mouses all seem like
acceptable topics.

[Neo Pikachu]

For one contest, the topic should just be Harry Kim. OMG, that would hilarous. I think I would go the extra distance and make a funny Flash movie just for that special occasion.

Heh heh... :devious:

Okay new topic to disscuss since nothing else has been brougth up.

What abotu a HoF?(Hall of fame... you know the thing that missingno messes up)

I dunno exactly what would go in it, but most likely it would contain a list of winners from various contests(banner contest, commedy contest, whos beaten gyms...)

Anyone have any creative input?

[Sky Girl]

I think one is definately needed. But how it would be organized, I don't know. It would also need to be decided, what qualifies for the Hall of Fame. You say "banner contest", but which ones? BOTW? What about the various spriting competions that come up? Should the winners of those be included too? I feel that those who defeat a gym(s) definately deserve a spot.

Then the organization. Should it be split into topics? Art contests (includes spriting, banner making, ect.), Gyms, Comedy Competition, ect. Or should there be another way to set it up? Or should the categories just be more specific, or more broad?

I don't think topics will need to be incredibly specific, though.

Well this section has been inactive for over a month. What's going on? How come very little has been done?

[Pika57]

Well I've been gone the last week..

The main problem is that very few people are checking this board. As you can see quite a while ago I tried to disscuss a Hall of Fame, but there was very little creative input.

Also I'm glad to see how much you care about the Other Chat Department, seeing that the other departments are more or less doing the same, and I failed to notice any comments in those areas.

But you are correct, TMI has done very little for several months now, the only exception I can see being Brons RPing school.

So if anyone happens to see this, please offer some input on the Hall of Fame idea.

Heh, we've done a lot more or less, but we've had a bit of troube in some areas.

I do like the Hall of Fame idea, especially considering the numerous competitions and activies we have around here. It would be nice to show PE2K what's going on.

As I see it, it can be organized two ways. We can do it by sections based on different competitions or we can base it by members.

If we do it by section, we would probably have one person in charge of the thread listing out the different competitions with the winners in each and updating every so often. This would be an organized and efficient manner to do things and would allow members to see the various events on the forum. The problem is that it is difficult for one person to update alone.

The second option is to let members update their own personal records in a sort of URPG Stats method. Members can keep track of their victories in their own post, which other people can see. It makes it easier on the moderators who would have to update the thread otherwise.

The idea will work. The only thing I worry about is the Other Chat section. There are already over a million stickies there...

The second option is to let members update their own personal records in a sort of URPG Stats method. Members can keep track of their victories in their own post, which other people can see. It makes it easier on the moderators who would have to update the thread otherwise.

The idea will work. The only thing I worry about is the Other Chat section. There are already over a million stickies there...

I know... so many stickies...

I know I need to get the Commedy Contest unstickied... it didn't have much participation, and we need some new ideas to boost activity in it before another challenge is created.

Also, while i have been agaisnt having a board to store threads related to MotS, It may be necesary to reduce the number.

I also had a thought relating to the Trivia/Games Boards. Pidge stopped the Mafia, becasue once it was moved to the Other Trivia/Games Board, and it imediately lost activity. Is it possible that the Other Trivia/Games Board could possibly be annexed to the Other Chat Board, and that the Pokemon Trivia/Games Board be put under the General Pokemon board? I know this was one situation, but some games fit the other chat theme well.

You know what, that sounds like a great idea. It would help us with space in Other Chat and increase activity in that board. Plus, the real benefit for this idea is that it is easy for Ryan to implement. If he approves, he can do it within minutes.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

We could always have a section for just stickies....or just sticky what we REALLY need!

[Sky Girl]

Shane, do you mean a board/sub-board for ALL stickies?

Didn't we discuss this HoF a while back? Oh well.

I am in total support of the Hall of Fame. Though I think it would be easier for everyone to update their own awards, I think one person should be in charge of it for organizational purposes. That way awards can be listed in categories and the format will all be the same. For example, in the VPP Hof thread, everyone posts their stats the way that they like it. Not a very uniform way to do it, but it works best for that situation. I think this HoF would work better with just one person running it. If it is decided that the thread should be made, the question is how do we organize it? What contests will go in which section? Increased support for this thread would greatly help....but yeah. I (and I'm sure plenty of other people) would love to see this thread go up.

I have some thoughts of my own as to how to organize it, but meh, I'd like to see if there's any support for this thing first.

Hmm.. I guess I should Suggest a Format:

Title
Explanation of HoF
Winners of each seasons MotS Award(Just the Award for MotS, not any of the other awards), followed by a link to the results thread for each MotS contest.
List of Winners of Repeating Contests(Contests that occur at reguarly set times of year, such as Smeargles Art Challenge, Commedy Contest[If it ever becomes active], etc)
List of winners of one time contests, or contests that don't run on a set schedule(various art contests and such)

The Contests that are displayed would probably have to sign up.

Form:

Name of Contest:
Url of Contest:

Hmm, I was thinking it should focus more on categories. Like all of the art contests grouped together, writing contests together, ect. But you're idea is probably better.

What do you think about giving these re-occuring contests each their own post? After a while, the first post could get a bit crowded with things like BotW being updated every other week. I think the one time contests could all be placed in the same post. Then each of the re-occuring contests have a post or two reserved for them only. Thoughts?

Good point. And yes Categories is a a good idea, this organizational patern was thought of on a whim, so to speak. Just to have some ground work to build off of.

So Categpries might be a good way to do it. I can't see any downside to either way.

I was serious when I said I like your idea better. But really the two can be merged. We can have two major categories - One time contests and Re-occuring contests. Which will then be divided into categories. Each will have the categories in the same order, for uniformity's sake.

One Time Contests
-[art contests listed first]
-[then writing contests]
-[ect.]

Re-Occuring Contests
-[art contests listed first, like Smeargle's Art Challenge and BotW]
-[then writing contests]


ect, ect. That's just an example. I don't know. Thoughts?

What about gym contests? There would be tons of those to list though. Should we include the individual gym challenges? Or just like Gyms challenging Gyms? Personally, I think it should include Gyms challenging Gyms and no more. Though so far there haven't been any of those...

i owuld think It would be all right to list people who have beaten gyms(so far there have been only so many, less than ten i beleive)

[Matt]

That's because gym trainers are too slow or innactive and the contests take way too long.

[HKim]

Have we decided already on one person updating a single list?

If so, perhaps we should have multiple people doing it so as to not overburden that one person.

Do you plan on keeping track of awards for sections that already have such a thing such as the War or URPG?

[Sky Girl]

i owuld think It would be all right to list people who have beaten gyms(so far there have been only so many, less than ten i beleive)
Duh! (that was directed toward myself) I was referring to the individual challenges (it takes two to get a badge, I think). But your right, we'll include people who have defeated gyms. And unfortunately, things are very slow, like D.2 said. But I really think that problem would be solved if the gyms got their own board.

Hmm, well are you saying each person keep track of one section? That's a good idea (I hope that's what you meant). I had originally thought that one person would post the results in the HoF thread and the leaders of the contests would PM the results to that person. And/or have a seperate thread where the HoF could be discussed and errors pointed out, ect. If Pika57 agrees, though, we'll go with separate people for each section (and/or one person can cover more than one section). And what do you think about a discussion thread? Is it necessary? Or should we wait and see how the HoF goes first?

Do you plan on keeping track of awards for sections that already have such a thing such as the War or URPG?
I don't know much about the War or URPG. So it's Pika's call. Though I would assume that we would include the War because it's such a major part of pe2k, and the URPG is exclusive to pe2k (I think) so....

Personally, I think that Gym activity will perk up as soon as the WAR craze is over. When that happens, then the Gyms should get their own boards. :D

Having multiple people doing it would be good, if each one was in charge of some section or other. But I think it would work well with a single active member incharge. If we do, use a multiple person format, we'd need at least one mod to handle the posts of people who go away over a short period of time.

On War and URPG, I would say no too URPG(perhaps a link to there HoF in the first post), but I beleive that War could work well(depending on the number of awards there are, if there are to many, then we may just include a link to the thread).

A Seperate Disscussion Thread might be a good idea. I would recomend not stickying it though. If it is a good idea, people will post in it, if not then it will eventually die.

Personally, I think that Gym activity will perk up as soon as the WAR craze is over. When that happens, then the Gyms should get their own boards. :D

On a note that isn't strictly related to this department, the gyms were pretty inactive before War preparations had begun. Even after the War, there will be a drop in activity, that migth hurt gyms even more.

[Ultimate Tiger]

How do you plan on Doing this Hall of Fame because I don't get it.

BTW im LP.

[Sky Girl]

*grumbles* I still insist that our own board would increase activity...

Anywho, um, so what must be done next to get this thing started? Why don't we go ahead and decide on some of the specifics as to what should be included?

Under Re-Occurring Contests, we'll start with art as it is probably one of the largest. BotW and Smeargle's Art Challenge are the two obvious ones that we've already stated. It seems that Surly Professor has started an Evolutionary Sprite Challenge? If there are any others, please tell me. There's also MotS. I think we should just provide a link to the winners of each of those though. Like, update it with different links every time there's a voting. That is, if you think it should even be included. I think it should, but feel free to disagree. Then of course the War. Once again, totally your call on how they're listed, because I've never seen the War results before.

Under One-time Contests, we have various spriting contests and the whole Winter Festival thing that was done a while back. So far I've dug up....*sigh* a million that were never finished. Scratch that. Then there's the comedy competition. I don't know where you would include that. Re-Occurring or One-Time?

I know that you are (or at least you mentioned it) going to put up a contest application thing, but I think it's important that we include contests that have already passed, too. That's why this post is here. :)

Edit: This post is directed toward Pika57 and HKim.

All those listed are good, and I would definitely recomend the Evolutionoary Sprite Challenge.

Commedy Contest will be recuring... I just need some ideas on how to boost its activity...

I don't know how War results are posted either, so we'll need someone else to explain it.

How far back do you want to go? We've had this forum for awhile now and there are some contests that we've all forgotten probably.

[Pika57]

Not very far, unless their is a specific contest someone remembers, and wants the winners to be put down for in the HoF.

Aren't there a few URPG contest results that never were published or were taken down? Should we do those?

[Sky Girl]

First off, I apologize for being inactive in this thread. Soccer has kept me extremely busy and continues to. But I'd really like to see this done, so I'm going to try and help out more.

Aren't there a few URPG contest results that never were published or were taken down? Should we do those?
If the results were taken down, then they're probably too far back to bother putting them in the HoF anyways. As for those that weren't published, I think they should be included as long as the contests were finished. If the results were just never officially posted, but are there, the winners still deserve a place for their accomplishments.

Its okay if you've been inactive in this thread(if it wasn't EVERYONE would be introuble).

I don't think we should go very far back looking for contests where the winners were not contacted. So i really don't think we should go looknig for anything. We could be better spending our time in other ways.

As for one of these other ways, I'm looking for another co-Captain. For whatever reason, Vex has vanished(or maybe he posted it in the thread, I didn't see it). I'll need an experienced member that can be decently active.

Form:
Qualifications(not necesarily related to board in question):
Other:

No real need for other field really, it would only confuse people if anyone changed their username.

Also i need soemone to take over the MotS until Vex returns. Whether it be the new Co-Captain or not, I don't care.

[Pika57]

Sorry about the double post. Major discussion topics.

Note that me and Pidge are going to Be doing the MotS tally for now.

Current Stickies(10 total)
DCC
Leaves/Temporary Leaves/I'm Back
The Pair Up Thread
What do you look like?
MotS Discussion Thread
PE2K Comedy Contest
Find a PE2K Member Near You
PE2K Photo Album
The PE2K Address Book

Suggested list(5 in all)
DCC
Leaves/Temporary Leaves/I'm Back
The Pair Up Thread
PE2K Member Fact file
HoF

The MotS Threads will be taken down, as soon as Pidge as I finish the tally. New thread swill probably be added again for the spring contest, but we can probably not use/sticky, the discussion thread.

What do you look like?
Find a PE2K Member Near You
PE2K Photo Album
The PE2K Address Book

All of these can be compiled into Katera's PE2K Fact file.

PE2K Comedy Contest.

This can be locked and unstickied as soon as a mod wishes it. It didn't last very long, and had very little activity whatsoever. If it ever returns, I'll recommend it for the creative writing board.

Also, I want to bring back up the idea of putting the Other Trivia/Games Board as a sub board to the other Chat Board, and moving Pokemon Trivia/Games, under the Pokemon General Board.

[!CeMAn]

DCC = fine
Leaves/Temporary Leaves/I'm Back = fine
The Pair Up Thread = a joke, should have been unstickied long ago.
What do you look like? = unsticky.
MotS Discussion Thread = unsticky asap.
PE2K Comedy Contest = burn it down.
Find a PE2K Member Near You = fine, but the creator should be updating it.
PE2K Photo Album = fine
The PE2K Address Book = turn it into FactFile info, and sticky THAT.

Most basic Factfile and Address information can be found on our own profiles. I'm wondering how much we really need those threads to begin with...
Why not create a FactFile form, for anyone who wants to, to send out to whoever wants it? Then we don't have to keep making these tedious threads which are inevitably going to become chit-chat threads. I know if i want to know somebody's age or email address, i look on their individual profile, not go sifting through a friggin thread. They may be fun to fill out or whatever, but how necessary are they?

Katera recently made a factiflie, so the plan would be to dump all of the threads(photos address and etc) into that. If people want to discuss it, do it in another non-stickied thread, or in the DCC. I don't See why a photo album should be separate.

I believe that the pair up thread needs to be started anew, with an active member or moderator put in charge, so the list is on the first page.

[Sky Girl]

Hmm, I'm kind of with !ceman on the separate photo album thing. People are always getting new pictures and commenting on others. If you updated your file with a new picture every time, no one would know. If you did it like that, "What do you look like?" and the "Photo Album" can probably be combined.

The other stuff you mentioned though ("Pe2k Address Book" and "Find a Pe2k Member near you"), does need to be combined into Katera's Pe2k Factfile thread.

Definately agree with this.

And Pika, I would apply for the Co-Captain position. But I'm going to wait till you hear from Vex, first.

Okay thats 1 Tally

I do beleive you, I'm sure peoples opinions differ. Thats why this thread is here. So we can disscuss it. The point is, we need to cut back on some stickies. Everyone is complaining about them. So why have two threads with very similar purposes?

Edit: Also, I've decided to make Sky Girl this sections second Co-Captian. She seems like she really wants to help improve the Other chat board, and is one of the only members of this department active in this thread.

[MystiKal]

Hmm but it seems that neither of you are active in the OC board, what's up with that?

Yeah, the photo album is better than the what do you like thread, if used for the intended purpose :P.

What Sky Girl and !ce kinda said, why not make ONE <Fact thread> where everything is combined, a pic + all the info (location/fact file/whatever), and have the first page be as in the URPG stats (a name with a hyperlink to the post).

There's no need for a discussion thread, cus what's there to discuss? "OML YOU LOOK TEH NICE, OML YOU TEH HAWT FACTS" period :\.

(Btw, the what do you look like thread should still exist in unstickied form to have fun with :P).

[Sky Girl]

Well actually I had also thought that "What do you look like?" and "Photo Album" should be combined. But you do make a good point. Since the Photo Album and Factfile are both threads which you browse through without them being cluttered by comments, how about this arrangement...

[Find a PE2K Member Near You, Pe2k Photo Album, and The PE2K Address Book] -> Pe2k Member Fact file (sticky)

"What do you look like?" (unsticky)

Then if it becomes nessecary we can create a discussion thread for the factfile, because a lot of the time people end up commenting on what each other posted instead of limiting it to their info. (I think that's kind of what Pika meant when he suggested a discussion in the first place)

Also, I used to be very active in the OC, but recently I just haven't seen much that I wanted to reply to.

Yeah thats pretty much what I meant by removing most of those threads, and replacing them with the Factfile. In fatc, Katera has already made a factfile, so we'll just need to contact him.

Makes sense, but I think that all of the things in the combine section could fit under the member factfile Katera made, saving even more space.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

Fact file and Photo Album are two different things.

[!CeMAn]

You can add one more tally for "Agrees the Photo Album Should Remain it's Own Sticky".

Looks like 4.

[Pika57]

Fact file and Photo Album are two different things.
Yes but they can work together. The basis of the photo album was to put photos of yourself on only one page, so it would be easy fro people to scroll down and find your page. You can put pictures in the Factfile, and it works the same way.

And Iceman, The Tally was a joke. VT would not get off my back about every single little thing I suggested.

Edit: Since it seems that most people think the Photo Album deserves a stcky, Its gonna get a sticky whenI give the list of things to whatever G-mod will do it.

Can we include the PE2K Google map (http://www.frappr.com/pokemonelite2000) in on the big factfile thread? Otherwise it's homeless. :sad:

And also delete all of the non-file posts in said thread?

All the birthday threads are making me think ...

One big birthday thread? Is that still being considered?

[Pika57]

All the birthday threads are making me think ...

One big birthday thread? Is that still being considered?

We had a board for birthday threads approved, but apparently other chat wasn't active enough to host a sub-board...

But i don't see the issue. Seperate threads make peopel feel special. And there are quite a few members who need psychologically NEED to feel special.

[Surly Professor]

Whatever...
The birthday threads are crap. And even if they were good threads it's rediculous having half the board taken up with them.
The least we can do is start a 'Happy Birthday' thread where we can keep all of that junk in one out of the way place.
Seriously, someone just start & sticky the thread already.

[Jack of Clovers]

Agreed. Every day is some elses' birthday. It would remove the clutter and remove all the 1 line "Happy Birthday (insert name)" posts.

~Jack~

[DaRkUmBrEoN]

Already made a thread.

Personally, I think a subboard would be good. It's not like it would be used for regular threads, so it doesn't need that much activity.

I have to keep telling people this. We tried it, Ryan thought it was a good idea, but he said that the OC section wasn't active enough to warrant a sub board.

...why would a subboard for birthdays need tons of activity? You're backing up your argument on something that doesn't relate.

Its not my arguements. I don't decide if the OC board gets a sub board or not. I want it to get a sub board for birhtdays, gonig aways, and welcome back threads. Ryan won't do it though.

If all three were in one subboard, it'd have more than enough activity.

[Pika57]

Not that, he meant the OC(Other Chat) board doesn't have enough activity.

If you want to fight harder for it, go ahead and ask him yourself.

I support it, but when you try soemthing, and it doesn't work out, I don't keep pushing it.

That would probably be the difference between you and I.

What's his username?

[Sky Girl]

What's his username?
Ryan is the forum's administrator. His username is simply "PokemonElite2000". Pika doesn't keep pushing it because that might make him look bad in Ryan's eyes, which is something noone wants to do. Now you can take it up with him if you want, but don't argue with us if he still says no to the sub-board.

Well, I probably look bad in his eyes already, so no fear. I'm willing to stick up for this little project~

[Kenny_C.002]

Problem then is that lack of activity in the OC without the birthdays and what not, though.

[PokéJungle]

Maybe I'll have to make it active myself.

Hmmm, and point taken.

I've been trying to give Ryan good ideas for the forum for years now, he never listens. Even if it's for the better of the forum.

[PokéJungle]

Maybe he needs to hire PR representatives.

Lol, btw are you from PC?

Formerly of PC, yes. On a temp-ban until August. Probably won't be returning there. Do you go there?

Wow. Somehow I feel very guilty for talking so off topic.

Don't feel bad, the noobs here go off topic like mad. They never get yelled at so were good. Yeah I'm at PC but not very active. If I may ask, what were you banned for?

[PokéJungle]

Banned for a practical joke actually. Got someone's password and went into their account.

Didn't *do* anything mind you. Logging in was enough to get me 3 months though.

Ha, that sounds like here dude. Be careful here, the system is really screwed up here also. If I recall correctly you were once a Super Mod there?

[PokéJungle]

Heh, no. Three years of dedicated posting and no ranking up. That's one of the reasons I got rather frusterated. The staff dislikes me a bit.

Yes, I'm much more cautious about rules now.

Some admins like more control over their forums than others. At times it can seem as if Ryan is the only thing standing in the way of this forum's growth. Sure, it's not getting any worse, but can anyone really say that it's getting any better?

I'm actually surprised you all are saying this. PC seems like a communist forum compared to this one.

Oh trust me, i've been with pe2k for three years. The forum hasn't grown in a large way at all. We get a few members here and there, but nothing like other forums. Their's a lot we could do to make this forum better but Ryan never listens to us.

I can't think of a better way to put it. *shrug* It's just really hard for me to be positive about it. Ryan knows how he wants to run this place. No matter how many threads we make, and private messages we send, there's not much we can do to change his mind.

We could start a viral signature banner campaign asking for him to listen to more member input.

[Paperfairy]

Wow, so did you get the mods?
I became the "All Pokemon Boards" mod MANY, MANY, months later, and I thought VT (Mystikal) was the Other Chat mod....

Looooong after that, we got Art mods.

From the looks of it, you'll find in nicely.

[PokéJungle]

It doesn't look like you're a mod though.

Or, maybe I'm just not used to the colors.

[HKim]

Heh, while there have been a ton of things that we've could have done if Ryan allowed it (the interforum competitions for example), he's always said no as is his right.

I don't think PE2K is in a rut, not since we finally found a stable server and the entire mess was cleaned up. Just some member disagree with how Ryan runs things. Even I do at times.

But I believe Ryan has done as well as he can given the wide variety of opinions everyone has had. And VT, of course, running things your way would lead only to a Pokemon Forum similar to Noob4Haxorz. The forum has remained a stable and free community for pokemon fans.

We may not have as many moderators as Serebii, PC, or BMG; but neither do we have the chocking beauracracy that they all have to deal with. Serebii's admin is a dictator, PC mods don't agree with each other, and BMG's leadership structure keeps changing because they haven't found a system that works yet. We have it pretty good being able to do what we want and still be free from a wide variety of problems such as DDoS attacks and massive spam raids.

Of course, Ryan does change his mind guys. Heh, I've known him long enough to know that he does grow to like new ideas. It just takes time. As long as we have a valid argument and support to back it up (and time to wait), he does come around to agreeing. Not many admins even listen to what the members say. We're lucky to have one that does.

Oh boy... when I think back... it was my idea to name it revolution, wasn't it.... Never again.

Less than a year ago this forum had a huge split, where most of the members left, and formed a new forum.

But the new forum sucked and died, and everyone came back, so we all were happy again. But it was an insane time that I won't be revisiting.

[Paperfairy]

And to think that the entire split was caused by a very small misunderstanding. ._.

[Pika57]

And to think that the entire split was caused by a very small misunderstanding. ._.

Yeah... the hideous stupidity of it. It was like the revolutionary war. A few people who were angry about a tiny thing, spread cries to turn against PE2K around, fooling the general populous.

[PokéJungle]

PC had a very similar experience. It must just be the life of forums. Except it wasn't just a simple misunderstanding.

Anyways, I think you guys have it better than you think here.
