Ok Sephiroth and I are absolutely dead serious about this change and excuses won't work because it needs to be done desperately....This idea will reduce the number of forums and make everything tidier for new members and current members too look at. Its easy to navigate BUT will take a little work. Sephiroth and myself had just spent the past few hours deciding what can be done with the forums and we this is what we have decided.
1: Right now the forums are in total disarry and basically looks disgusting with threads everywhere and no specific category's. My proposal is that we create new sub-forums were things will be better for everyone.
Eg. These names don't have to be used and feel free to change the names of the forums and subforums but i must say this has to be done....as top poster here i feel as though i should have some influence as to how the forum should be.

Updates and Announcements

Suggestions and Questions
Introductions and Departures
Forum: General Gaming
Sub forums: - PSX / PS2
- Xbox / PC
- Nintendo
Final Fantasy
- Retro Final fantasy (FF1-6)
- PSX Final fantasy (FF7-9)
- PS2 Final fantasy (10-12)
(In this forum things like Advent Children and FF11 will be put in the bottom section underneath these sub forums....also including FF: Chronicles and Tactics.)
Kingdom Hearts
- Kingdom Hearts 1
- Kingdom Hearts 2
- Kingdom Hearts 3 theory *spiolers*
(With this again all basic general chat or crap can also go beneath these sub-forums)
Resident Evil (Exactly like above forums you may add sub forums too if you think its necesary)
- PSX Resident Evil
- PS2 Resident Evil (These are up to you guys)
Member Awards (This is a name change)
With this we should delete the voting forum as its become totally useless and we all know who has won so thats all we need to know...Also i talked to Sephiroth about creating a small button with the indivdual awards for the people who won and he agree'd)
The Jukebox (Nothing really to change here its all pretty good. I like the name too
)
The Bigscreen (Again this forum is absolutely perfect, theres nothing to change here at all just like the above )
The Dugout ( Again nothing much to really change except for a little order of the sports people are talking on. Its not necesary but i think it will look good)
Otaku Talk (Thisis name change for the anime and manga section)
this area is pretty small so there is no need for any sub forums unless activity increases then a possible Manga sub forum can be decided on.
7th heaven or Rumpus Room (Another name change from the lounge because its a fairly boring name and we could use a little spice....also the serious talk sub forums will be removed and replaced as its own small forum)
Fanclub (I don't think much should be changed here except we need more posts in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol)
Roundtable (This is the serious talk forum which is moved from the lounge which will allow easier access and create a little more order)
Creation College (A name change for the gallery)
- Phantastic Fotos (You don't need to really change this name or the letters like I did lol it was just for fun)
- Creations (In this area you will be able to post avatars or banners which you've created so your able to show it off to people)
- Misc Images (if you find something funny or random post it in here...also banners which you may have found)
RP Registration (This is absolutely usless IMO, we can already sign up and register for RP in the forum itself and most of the time we already do it inside the role-play itself. I think we should delete this so we can cut back on spaces.)
Role-Play Forum will stay the same theres no need for change
Crazy Quizes (New name for the Quiz corner)
- PSX / PS2 quizes (obviously things like final fantasy or other PS titles will be quized here
- Xbox / PC (Again Xbox and PC title quizes here)
- Nintendo (need I say anymore?)
RPG Inferno (No name changed as its easy and nothing needed really)
- RPG Coloseum (In here ask for challenges, talk about people who are a good fight or monsters which are the same. Pretty much any battle related talk in here)
- RPG Assistance / Suggestions (Ask questions or add suggestions which can benefit the RPG or other people in playing)
Clan Central
- Subforums will consist of all the clans around or pretty much just leave as it is.
Delete the custom weapon thread as its a bit trashy and not needed it. OR we can move it as a sub forum into the RPG Inferno forum.
Ultimacia's Castle (Now this is TOTALLY useless. I do realise that they throw out different things in here but does it matter at all? I say we chuck this thing into the dump itself. It will also save space )
The Catacombs R.I.P (This will be a name change for the dump)
Obviously all deleted threads in here just like what we have...no changes just a name change if you want.
Ok that is pretty mcuh all the ideas for re-arraging the forum. I don't want to here any crap about not enough members or it takes to much time....I don't care....i'll do it myself if i have to just make me admin for a day, Seph is also willing to help out a lot with this. I have put time into this because I beleive that members are not coming due to the arrangement of the threads. I hgope this will be able to bring a lot more members soon and in the future. Obviously none of these changes have to be made but come on people something needs to be done and fast!! If your not interested in any of names i've come up with thats fine as well the changes are more important than any of that.
NOW onto ideas that i've though of lol...I just keep goin.
1: For the RPG i'm not to sure whats up with this but I think maybe 11 Gil for every post would be a good idea. I have seen Gil isn't hard to come by that badl but its a little more insentive.
2: Give about 4 exp for every post. You don't have to give that much but again its more insentive and people who don't have much time for RPG will be able to basically play it while their posting. Win win situation.
3: Create a tag for the members who have won awards. Like I said Sephiroth will be happy to do this for the winners so they can flash of what there best at lol
4: GET A V.I.P forum. Its not necesity but its fun to do. Again more insentive to post, follow rules, contribute to the forum and also hopefully getting more members.
5: Contests like we had before are fun. making a lock and key contest was a pretty damn good idea of Harry's before and I think we should host another one again. I can also create quizes on various topics for people to win Gil, weapons or points or even a V.I.P membership if you decide to do it.
6: Lets make use of our Clans. I do realise that other Clans have more members than others so I say for a Clan War we get the clans to choose their best 4 members to participate and again win various items, Gil or whatever lol.
7: Sephiroth told me that he is able to obtain free skins for the forum if your intrested from extremepixels. I think a new skin with more colour or at least interesting colours might be a hook line and sinker for new members. PM Seph if you wanna find out more.
Thats pretty much it from me for suggestions, I did spend a while thinking of this stuff along with Sephiroth and it took me a while to write up so i'd appreciate it a lot if it was put to good use. Thank you guys i'm out
