Update Ideas: No, these ideas are not anything to do with the Idea Box on Wolf-haven. Actually, the following ideas are personal things I'd like to see Wolf-Haven commence in it's many future years. Feel free to comment on any of the ideas that spark your attention.
- Seasonal Layouts: This being, as I would like to see Wolf-Havens colors/layout/template changed due to the seasons. For example, winter would have the snowy mountains, snow and clouds on the site BG, maybe with lighter colors for the layout. Fall would have autumn leaves, a turkey or two. Spring would have flowers, etc.
- Default Change: By 'default' I mean the starter wolf template we all received upon joining. I think we should get a new one, as the other is outdated and old, not that it isn't adorable. Or maybe, keep the one we have, and add in a few the joiner can choose form upon signing up?
- Video: I don't know exactly how we would do this, but maybe Wolf-Haven can throw together a promotional video for the site sometime? I think it would be awesome.
- Chat: I love popping in on the chat from time to time, of course. But I think a lot of people don't pay attention to the chat, because the option is so small. Perhaps if we took out the chat option, and simply coded the chat on the side of the screen someplace, with an option to hide/show, as well as volume.
Accounts: For this topic, I suppose it could count as an idea, somewhat, as well. But I'll discuss it anyhow. I'm not sure how many, but I know we have tons, upon tons of accounts on Wolf-Haven (just look at the new members account numbers!) I think, after a certain time frame, the Staff is able to go through accounts and delete the inactive ones. I bet you my furry butt that it would increase the speed of the site itself.
Art: Art! Yay! We all love art, don't we? Though, as much as we love having it around, I do think Wolf-Haven has become so coiled up in the idea of art, that that's all anybody ever wants. It's an RPG site, not an art site. Also, Sheri discussed this already, but the site should be hiring a new Staff panel, or rather, adding to it. I particularly am excited for this! Cross your fingers that my skills don't fade away.
Love,
your friendly neighborhood weirdo

I love all the styling you do with your blog posts. Wish I had the patience for that. xD
ReplyDeleteThe only seasonal thing we have right now is the lights being added to the trees during winter. That would be really neat to see though.
As far as the default change goes, we were actually going to release the last update with Inno's custom template and slightly altered colorings, but it never happened. I think it's still a plan though.
And that chat thing would be neat, as long as it still had a pop out option. I like having mine on a different window. :D
Really nice entry btw. :3
Totes, Sheri. :D And I just love being.. creative, so you'll always find my posts dolled up.
ReplyDeleteAnd AH! I'm so excited for what's to come. Karlos will do wonderfully with the new coding.
Annnnnd, finally, yes. The chat would still be able to pop out. C:
