Tell us exactly what you would want to do if you were the head administrator of Zelaron. What should be changed, and what shouldn't? Simply brainstorm as much as you wish, but don't forget to post the actual result.

I would:

Modify the gfx forum so it's subforum based (tutorials, sig forum, showcase...)
De-admin/De-mod who is inactive
No post count in WLT
Take out that pic in the quick reply box to something less distractive
Have the background for the forums be one huge wallpaper.
Make it so that you can use more than 1 sig
Change the user rank titles
Add the RPG character hack + battle hack

That's it for now...

We had that once, but in return, the section became extremely inactive, so we're not planning to do so again for a while.


De-admin/De-mod who is inactive


Define "inactive". Sometimes, mistakes happen, such as people going on a vacation and notifying everyone somewhere where no-one will usually find out. If you're going on a vacation, feel free to PM me AND post a thread about it, preferably in ad-mod.


No post count in WLT


The WLT is history.


Take out that pic in the quick reply box to something less distractive


Only the Nucleus theme uses the quick reply image. It is actually a test theme that I made for another board, but the deal was never completed, so I'm using it until the buyer fulfills his part of the deal.


Have the background for the forums be one huge wallpaper.


Bad idea, the forum would take forever to load for modem users. Besides, we're currently hosted on a shared account, so I'd rather not do that, since our bandwidth usage would skyrocket.


Make it so that you can use more than 1 sig


Oh, you can. Just put multiple tags inside your profile field.


Change the user rank titles


That's just based on your personal taste, and I like the current ones. If you have any suggestions for another theme, let me know though.


Add the RPG character hack + battle hack


The guy who I made the "nucleus" theme for will actually give me a high-quality gaming portal with a ton of php coding in return for my work, and yes, it does include a battle hack. However, currently, there are no good battle hacks available at vBulletin.org, but we can always wait.

Thank you for your ideas, I really appreciate it. I hope you don't mind my cynical criticism, that's the way I deal with things. :)

Killing off styles isn't very helpful.. the greater the variety, the greater the % of people who like the board.

The images I think are cool, you can quick glance and see what your goin to.

The main portal is always being fooled with.

Yeah but then anyone whos not fit to mod all the forums will go insane trying to.

I agree with Strider about the rules also there should be a sticky thread with the rules set in stone, right now there is too many Ideas of how one should mod so the other mod always contradicts the one to make a move....

EX-Mania
2002-09-17, 12:33 PM
Umm well first of all, i would make mods for almost every forum (because not every forum has a mod)

Make a contest area in the zelaron forum with small prizez like... be moderator/sup mod of a forum for a day or have a free sig ect ect.


I would read the suggestion box alot and make the suggeestions that make sence come true.


I would be more useful ofcourse

Make a new sig and make sigs for people who post often and make useful posts (if they want)

and im still thinking of things i can do =O

i agree make raz a mod he's a cool guy, also i think the most pressing issue for zel is that i myself Æonflux be given access to the supreme top extra superduper secret elite hacking section! mostly because i suck at everything i try and i need a damn edge! oh and also i love keeping secrets and i think its funny to keep secrets!
also we should make a clan for d2 it would be cool. and we can avoid the morons!

i agree, the b.net hacking forum is the worst part of this place. It draws in the most retarded people and gives this forum a bad taste.

And it has help when a moderator goes around promoting w4r3z (Chronic Killa or whatever the heck he's called) :rolleyes:

And when I mentioned the hacking forum in the other thread, I was flamed to hell by some of those retards.

I think killing any part of the d2 forums is a bad idea, me and many friends found our way here through a google looking for d2 bots and bnet hacks, and were now members.

well, actually...when you compare the 2....i guess not being sued by bnet is more important then me and my friedns.

Hacking = good, popular

We wont get anywhere with a regular d2 section, there are plenty of those out there with a hella lot more people and support then we got

Randuin
2002-12-05, 09:06 AM
agreed but there are also tons of d2 HACKING places out there so we have to keep up and get ahead

Tuff
2002-12-20, 11:06 PM
I'd say delete the forum, and just perhaps allow the discussions in a normal D2 chat so it doesn't stuck out, and same rule for future games. In the event someone was lookign over the boards, they're not going to go into each forum, just browse the forum index.

(i'm late responding to these, I know. )

Board seems fine IMO.

Where's the IRC chat - what server, name, etc?
