New Ideas

I've posted a bunch of threads in various forums suggesting possible things to do to increase activity or fun in those forums. Please review them when you get a chance, and try to participate where you can.

RPGMaker Tutorials
I think this would help bring even more newcomers than the RPGMaker forum already does, and perhaps they will stick around. If not, it's at least guaranteed to get us a lot of google hits which could mean more chances for new members. Also, I think if done right, it could encourage some current members to post in the RPGMaker forum who do not even use RPGMaker currently.

List of Characters/Servers people play
This one is more for increasing activity with the members we have already, but it could also mean new members joining. I'm hoping that with such a list, people will try to play with each other, increasing interest in those games on the forums. It could encourage members to START playing another game to play with others, as well. This could all lead up to having subforums for the games that the most members play, and increasing activity and also new member generation.

News Posters
Not much of a reason for this one other than it had been suggested before. Might encourage people to post more news, who knows? I don't think it's a big deal, and will probably have minimal effects on the forum, but at this point I think just about any sort of change is good change.

Nominate Debate Topics
I think this could definitely increase activity around here, if only in the Opinion and Debate forum. Could get interesting too. It was planned and started before but it never got going, I believe because MJ got really busy and could no longer do it.

New Zelaron Melee
Simply, Zelaron Melee was a lot of fun. It brought a lot of activity back in its day, and I believe it would do so again. I see no reason not to do it, assuming we have enough people interested.

Flame-Off
Same as the Debate stuff, basically, other than the fact that it's in the Flame-forum. I think it will have generally the same effect.

Please, if you have any ideas of your own, suggest them. I'll be more than happy to get the ball rolling if needed.
