Making my debut as staff!Venus here, so bear with me. xD
Just wondering how you guys would feel about a plot board?
Because we're probably going to end up at a point in the near(ish) future when we have quite a few plots running concurrently, I thought maybe if we made a board where we could have a thread for each plot. That way people can check back with what's going on in each plot without having to rummage through every thread on the board.
I for one get confused with what's going on sometimes - dunno if it's just me? xD But then again, I get confused with my own plot, so that doesn't really bode well for me, does it?
^^
So: here's me hoping staff still check back here...
(N.B - whether or not we go with this, I'll probably/hopefully will make a thread for my plot in the General board thing anyway, because if all goes to plan/I don't change my mind it's all going to get quite complicated quite soon. So yeah xD May go and do that now... ^^)

Hmmm... yeah DW is always a bit unorganized, eh? I don't know if I'm the only one to notice but a lot of the boards which should be all members are still staff only due to their original purpose (ex: General board used to be only for important announcements back in '06)
Nalia suggested to me before to make a new DW 2.0 sort of thing but using invisionfree rather than proboards. I liked the idea and said I'd give it a test run if she was willing to design it, but I was also sort of wary. I've done it before and every single time the site died...
It'd make us look more active to do so, and the bonus would be the site would be less cluttered BUT (and it's a big one) it's a LOT of work and pretty risky because it changes the link and everything would have to be moved over to the new place.

Having experience with both Inv. and the Proboards, I'd say that for now it would be best to stay here - maybe later on in Summer it would be good to move over to Inv, when we're all active and have more time to set everything up/get into a more active place etc.
Either that or we just revamp this board xD And reorganize ourselves at the same time. I agree Invision would be great, but like you said I'm wary that it could take a toll on the RP...
Decision, decisions!

(But I'll go along with and support whatever you guys decide to do. Just an add on there xD)

Personally I don't really want to move, but it's more work and confusion to break links and move threads, boards, and such instead of just making a new site... so yeah, I'm worried about DW's status.

I'm still willing to do the Invision stuff if you want me too. xD

Well we should all reach a final decision first

-nods and smiles weakly- I don't want to get started on something that no body wants. I've seemed to be doing that a lot lately; doing stuff without asking what others think first. x.o;

Well I have to agree with you there. The 3 activity checks were kinda much

At least we got rid of all the inactive peeps.
{But I'm not one to talk about that so I'll shut up now. x.x}
Heh. Well, when the dreaded exams are over, I'll be able to be a little bit more articulate on the matter anyway, since I'll have more time to spend posting. Hees.

Yeaaaaaaah... x.x I've been like 'holy frick?!? ANOTHER check?" Three is good, but after this we should leave it alone for a while, let more members return.

But I thought it was still a good idea to do it that way Nalia - if it was me I prolly would've done something stupid like sent a PM x.x
Heh. *applauds you*
