.. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take some old topics that I made from some other forums that I go to and see if it encourages people to join. What ya think? Yay or Ney? It's used stuff so I don't know maybe it should be fresh.

Btw: w00t 100th post.

seems liek a good idea but the problem is we want quality members not a huge quantity of members who post for a bit the disappear (like most forums have that problem :ashamed: )

If it's so quiet why don't we SCREAM!?

sure we could scream but what would that accomplish?

i was thinking about puting up an opinions thread to see what ideas you guys may have to help get the forum up and running again... seeing as how this is really your hangout spot, we just run it. B)

i agree, we also need to change the look to less 'sonic'

true, but lets leave that up to him, to decide the motif... i gotta say he did pretty damn good for his first attempt at skinning. and another thing we should remember, is that this is his forum which is the official home to SSA/FFSX so it should have some kind of a link to sonic dont you think? B)

i didn't say get rid of, but depleate a little, if we want to broaden horizons.

true..

i like the sonic look, but if you wanted to "tone it down a little" could you have the smilies of different characters ( like throw in some final fantasy and megaman characters) and the background looks ok anyway

the whole game thing can't be the overbearing element. games in general wil not make this forum.

yes this is true but the forum is also home to the flash that was created from sprites of games, so there should be some emphasis on them as well.

True. We should put a file on each of the worlds and their characters.

so like have a topic for each? and in that topic just talk about them there?

We could have two admins for each world topic. For example because BDX and myself know a lot about Sonic, we would be the admins for the Mobius board.

seems like an interesting idea, but should see what the admins have to say about it.

True. Very very true.

while that is an interesting idea aj, that can be discussed...

the name of the forum shouold be hellblaze animations and it could be set up as follows...

*Affiliates Banner (with banners from members site as well as other flash artists)*

what do you guys think? :) :)

oh, and as far as the motif is concerned, if this site is about HellBlaze Animations, then it shoud have a banner displaying some of the key characters in the banner.. the current banner is fine.. the skin of the forum itself should kinda like tesm's but instead of using lime green it should be blue. :) :)

It seems cool. You should add a board for each of the regulars that they can put their fanfics in. Only comments can be posted about the fanfics and if it get's off topic the off topic posts will be deleted.

very true.. and fanfics are very popular now.. :)

that seems like an excellent idea. how about we have a contest to see who can make the best banner? to go with this?

I'm not good with banners so I'm out.

we had one already, and some 1 named KriseMaximus won.. but i dont see his banner.. so i'll resurrect that topic .. :)

yeah if were goin for a new one may as well have an all new banner to boot.

True. We need to get some experienced people on this.

im gonna try my shot at making one, im a complete newb, but we'll see what i got. and maybe let KriseMaximus like re-enter his to see how people liek it compared to the new stuff.

Very good idea.

Hmm you guys are good at this we could really make these forums great.

yeah but wheres bdx and tesm? they are admins also and we are the ones brain storming.. :)

we do all they work and they take the credit.

yeah, but when the changes are made then bdx says oh, "ask me first," or "youre trying to take over my forum.." at least we are trying to show an interest.. :)

We could not post at all. and he won't respond to me on msn. :(

?? what do you mean you could post at all? and whats this about him not responding? :o

I mean we're helping him and he's not doing much. So if we didn't post at all he'd be mad.

oh ok. :)

and he's not talking to me on msn 'cause he's busy.

thats bdx for ya.. :)

Always busy no time for small talk.. guess he's not into foreplay.

um.. i.. nm.. :)
