Re: I need your ideas.
 

I really like the front page idea, and we have looked at that in the past. Both Shaggy and I however haven't done anything about actually doing it, obviously, but it is high time we did.

Yes, now I think it is time to get more on offer for visitors including walkthroughs, information ect. Make this more than just a mediocre chat forum. That will help attract new members, and give current members something substantial to add to the site.

Keep the new forum rearrangement/addition ideas coming. New games being catered to is something I think we not only could add, but should. Especially with new games constantly being released and becoming populour.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

It wouldn't bother me if spam tastic disappeared cause I think most of the threads suck, but I like that idea of a chatroom.

I think the mods and administrators should be more tougher on these nonsensical posts I have been seeing lately. That may make it more pleasant for people to read if they dont have to read rubbish.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

Amen to that.

That's honestly why I took a short hiatus from here. There was a lot of immature
"LOL HAI"
"HAI WAT U DOIN?"
"I B ON FFNET"
"LEIK ZOMG ME 2!!!1!!"
like posting on here. I just thought when the member grew up a tad, I'd be back.

I'm not saying that as in this forum needs me, because it'll be the same whether I'm here or gone. But that puts off a lot of members.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

Liek...no wai! RLY?! zOMGosh! XD!

Totally. I got totally frustrated (and no offence meant here) with all the k/j-pop threads, pics, and 'zOMG no way! Gackt!!! *dies*' posts littering our fair forum.

Then the 'anti-Asian' revolution started....<_< yeah - that was not cool at all.

I think that the Spamtastic section is great - I've told the mods and admins that I get my 15 mins. of laughter/day there. Sometimes silliness isn't bad at all...but I believe there is a responsibility that all of us as members have to keep insensitive, nonsensical posts out of ANY part of the forum....Use common sense when posting something on the forum.

This is a huge reason why my post count has gone wai down. I just won't comment on certain threads/discussions because it's flat-out ridiculous conversation. This will only get worse - I fear - with a chat option. Yes, this forum has some awesome members who keep it alive and make it fun; it also has the bottom 20% that aren't so fun (and you'll have that anywhere.) 80/20 rule.

Lastly: a few thoughts... I like the chat option overall - good way for us oldies to hang out and not blitz the spam section. I like the idea of a 'front page' with more options. Ie: Tabs for - Chat, forum, Walkthroughs, Pics, Members, More info about FFnet, Join, What's new, etc. It will look and BE more up-to-date. Lastly - I hope we never merge. We don't have to and WON'T if the trend continues...one last thought. Square hasn't put out a 'great' FF that's not online-based for a while. I think that once they do the FF forums will be more-alive again. I'm not sure what all we can put together for 'advertising' like Hydra spake...but it sounds good to me.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

*Nods head, totally agreeing*

Content shouldn't just be confined to Final Fantasy, though; it should expand to anything Square Enix. At least, that's what I think.

Extended game sections would be a good idea...I don't think that anything in Spam should be changed, though....I don't think that a live chat there would make much of a difference. It might even be more of an annoyance to some people, believe it or not.

I've always wondered, though; what's the difference between Forum Games and the spam section? maybe those two should be merged together. I don't see the point in keeping them separate.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

The live chat would be an IRC room that people join to chat if they want to. I'm not suggesting an on forum shoutbox type thing because they are annoying to the extreme.

The general quality of discussion does need to improve, so either stricter moderation (which I doubt most of you would like to see) or the forum itself changed so the topics themselves encourage more than idle chit chat posts.

I would like to see that IM/internet/SMS/Leet speak banned here to be honest. It is difficult to understand, makes the poster look 10 years old with an IQ of 20, and is just plain irritating to see. We can all read, write, and speak english, or we wouldn't be here. A possible addition to the standing forum rules perhaps?

Re: I need your ideas.
 

*GUILTY AS CHARGED* >_>

Umm..............

Ok? o.0

I have no problem with that - perhaps with ONE THREAD being the exception - Hydra's creation '1337 t3!k c3nt3r' (http://www.ffnet.net/forum/showthrea...highlight=1337) being that exception???

Re: I need your ideas.
 

Keep posting more ideas, I liked many of yours... I'm sure I'll think of some more than the ones I already suggested.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

That's our deepest wish <3


And what about the 1337 Sp33k thread?

Re: I need your ideas.
 

So wait now everyone is anti asain? Well that makes me feel bad, I love asain people. *isnowmad* Reason's such a trator Gackt is a god!

I like the idea of walkthroughs and what not, what would really help the forum.

I was think though, what if we accually got a paid host for a site, and have the forum be a shoot off from it? You know like a website about the final fantasy series with lots of info and such? <--- Just an idea

Re: I need your ideas.
 

I'm no traitor! ;ang

...and Gackt is no god.

I was just saying that spamming photos all over the forums and making several different threads for the same thing is nonsense.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

O_o there was only one thread though for Gackt, and one for Miyavi last time I checked. And Yes he is a god!

Re: I need your ideas.
 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

And yes I agree with arkacia on posts which have all this internet sms slang, most of it I dont understand and makes it irritatiing to read thats why some threads I dont bother to read.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

That thread will be fine, as it is in spam. If this new rule is introduced, and it probably will be, Spamtastic will be exempt.

Re: I need your ideas.
 

Commenting on a lot things mentioned in this thread:

The AOL kid speak should stop. You are losing a lot of members due to it. I used to be admin on another site but stepped down for various reasons, most being due to not being able to commit enough time, and we gathered random people from the Internet aged from 16-25, and asked them to comment on our site. We also asked them to give the number one reason why they wouldn't join. The top two reasons: Immature kids making immature threads that are nearly identical - userz wur tiipin leik disz.

I think the Spamtastic section should stay, but heavier modding rules on the other parts of the forum. People spam the other sections enough. They should keep it in the spam section. I mentioned it before, but a member said their posted count went due to spam. Same as mine. The point of a forum is to have fun. But remember, we're not 6 years old. Show at least a little maturity.

The front page - whomever it was that said it should be extended to all Sqaure Enix titles was smart. That's a good idea and it will bring in more members.
