Re: A New Direction?

[Strong Vader]

It's not really changing the focus of it. MSPA forums has three subforums for MS Paint Adventures and three "General Chat" ones, so it's nothing new, really. I actually like the colors, but if you want to change tell me what you guys want and I'll try to find a good theme.

Let's bring out all our plans to the other guys and put it to a vote, then. One poll will decide whether we split up the forum into the three categories (Gen Chat, HR, and Lockbox) and if that's passed we'll decide a) the colors, and b) exactly how we'll do this and the plans we have. Deal?

Sounds like a plan. To be honest, I don't care how we change the forum colors/skin, just so long as we do something that doesn't scream "I made this forum and never bothered to change the default skin." Though I think a red color scheme would best suit the forum. Matches the header and highlights our warlike nature.

[Strong Vader]

It wasn't the default skin. The default skin was this thing that made everything look like it was some XBOX game forum. All black and techno-y. But I see the point.

Yeah, the point is that our current skin is bland and boring and needs to go away.

ANYWAY, how's about you or someone starts up that poll?

[These are my saturdays]

General Chat goes one top. At least until the chaps start updating.
Another thing, renaming the forum. Y/N? Or at least changing the top bar picture
I don't really care about the colors.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Personally, I like the colors. But as long as the quotes work and it isn't all kill-your-eyes style, I'm okay with it.
As for the change, Strong Vader, The Wheelchair, me, and Disk are for it, and only MMM is against it (for some reason he won't clearly specify.) So I think that it's been officially decided already!
As for changing the name of the forum, Disk, I think that the name's already perfect! I mean, what is the biggest topic of discussion here besides Homestar Runner discussions? Video games! Even in Random Thoughts we usually talk about video games! And don't forget your LET'S PLAY series. So I think it showcases our work perfectly. Plus I really don't want to have to go back and change every page of the Illustrated History.

PS: Can we please use the names I chose for the sections? Oh please oh please oh please!

I agree that Strong Badia the Free is just fine for the forum. Oh, and I'm for using Uzi's subforum names. Though I had a few ideas for what we should call "The Underground Boiler Room."

-The Aboveground Boiler Room
-New Lock City
-Strong Badia the Locked
-These are locked.
-The Mystery of Lockins
-What's New, Beelzelock?
-Jurassic Lock
-Lock Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Lock
And finally...
-Spideyman vs. Doc Loct

[Strong Vader]

-The Cemetery. Yup, This Topic's Dead.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

-Lock, Stock, and Barrel

Anyway, so, is this the official plan then?

-Forum Discussion
-Strong Badia (Homestar Runner discussion)
-The Free (Random Thoughts)
-??? (Underground Boiler Room)

Because if so, then I need a more experienced Admin to shuffle things around and put them in their new places.

[Strong Vader]

Pretty much. There's a little disagreement over subfora and such but the next poll should take care of that.

[These are my saturdays]

I still think General Chat/ The Free/ Off-Topic should be positioned OVER The H*R stuff. Which makes sense because the top thing should be reserved for the frequently used stuff. And obviously the Gen Chat area will be the MOST frequently used, while the H*R stuff will be nearly dead for discussion. Why would you put the dead subforum over the active subforum?

[Strong Vader]

Yeah.

-SBTF (Introductory crap)
-Gen Chat
-HR
-Deadbox

[The Wheelchair]

Sounds good to me. Who's gonna take care of the big move?

[The Wheelchair]

I assume that the H*R discussions are being moved as I type?

[Uzi-Bazooka]

I'm moving the stuff. Nobody touch it until I finish!

[The Wheelchair]

I'm moving the stuff. Nobody touch it until I finish!

Then maybe we can work on the color scheme change!

[Uzi-Bazooka]

All right, it's finally done.
A few things:

--For various reasons, I deleted a few topics that nobody was posting in anymore. Specifically, I deleted four. If you miss those topics, please just make new ones with the same name, as it would be far too much of a headache to try to bring back the old ones.

--I changed the name of The Underground Boiler Room to the name that I liked the most. Feel free to change that to something else if you want, but I had to call it SOMETHING.

--I changed the descriptions of some things. Sometimes it was because they now had brand new purposes (like General Discussion, which now includes off-topic stuff.) Other times it was just for fun (like describing the characters as "dumb animal characters.") I don't really mind if you change the descriptions of the ones I changed for fun, but for obvious reasons, leave the others be.

Otherwise, it should be all ready to roll. Except that it's going to suck for the next few days as we all get Topic Reply Notification E-mails that have the WRONG link.

Question



Why is all this Homestar stuff UNDER the Gen Chat subforums?
Also, why is "All Types of Crazy Crap," which is a homestar related subforum, in Gen Chat?

Yeah, I was wondering this same thing.

[These are my saturdays]

In fact, that subforum should be deleted. The "Strong Bad Style Graffiti" and "Ron Planet" could be moved to Gen Chat and the rest to H*R.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Sorry. Remember, not much more than ten minutes ago, General Chat was a place to General Chat about H*R. I just left those topics there, I guess. I'll move it to the Homestar Runner place.
And I'll TRY to delete the subforum and move the topics, but since I don't really know how, I might just screw it up.

[These are my saturdays]

.And I'll TRY to delete the subforum and move the topics, but since I don't really know how, I might just screw it up.

I think I can do that. Being a mod and all.

Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to mod that particular subforum. I'm not sure why.

[The Wheelchair]

I'd try and do it, but I'd probably screw something up. Badly.

SV! Get your spotted yellow hinder over here!

[Strong Vader]

Wass ist loss?

[Strong Vader]

I think "All Types of Crazy Crap" should be the general Homestar forum. I mean, I like the name and it'll help keep the place organized.
