Wanted: Your opinions about the Web Library!

Post by Catspaw »

Everyone,

Your input is needed! A few terms ago, King Regis put together the Web Library subforum - click here to visit it. Last term Enliven moved it to be a subforum of Finneman's Market so it was still easily accessible but not taking up too much space on the forum index. Would you like the Web Library kept around so you can contribute? Would you like it removed? Would you rather the format of the topics change a little? Look at the changes below, vote in the poll, and give us your thoughts. Feel free to post in this thread, or PM myself, snubs, The Kings Daughter, and/or Regis Blackbeard if you would prefer. :D Thanks for your input!

- Catspaw, Shark Bait, and Regis Blackbeard (keeper of the Web Library)

I say keep it. I don't really use it myself, but it's nice to have there for those who do use it.

The images are fine if they are all resized to the same size or close to it. It looks kind of junky as is in the example. >_>

But yeah I'd keep the Web Library overall.

I really like the images. :yes: But like Top said, they should be relatively the same size to make the appearance better.

I don't care, it is nice and hidden away so it doesn't get in my way, but if I was making the decision I would leave it. It isn't doing any harm and deleting it would just be extra work.

It's a super idea, but it needs some organizational tweaks. May be seperate threads could be create for individual websites. :-k

Would anyone like this idea? Maybe have site updates and discussion?

Yes! That is exactly what I came up with. \:D/ Each, website would have it's own forum thead thing. That way people could create topics about different things going on. It would take up more space I suppose, but I think it would make the Web Library more active. :yes:

To be perfectly honest, that's the sort of thing that sounds exciting at first, but would quickly die out. Each "forum" would get 1-2 topics, maybe, and then we'd wonder why we created all those forums. I like the idea of each website having its on thread. That would allow members to ask questions and discuss each site.

Yeah, but it could mainly be for the owner of the website who are on here. That way they could post updates... But I see what you are saying. Maybe just having a thread for each item would be better.

I agree with snubs. :yes:

I like the idea of having separate forums or topics or whatever. ;)

My idea was a thread for each site, so the forum collectively would list thread titles, like so, with the forum's default sort set so it's alphabetical:
  • [OFFICIAL] Whitsend.org
  • [FANSITE] Odyssey Scoop
  • [FANSITE] AIO Wiki
  • [PODCAST] The Ceiling Fan
Also, it may be better if it was only for refernce, meaning that someone who was looking for AIO info could come here and discussion would be kept to Whit's End.

May be a new Whit's End subforum would useful for ongoing website discussion, as is done in The Podcast Room for podcasts. The Podcast Room is active enough that it seems a forum for websites would be equally useful for website owners such as Jacob Isom and Reddo to provide site updates without cluttering Whit's End with new threads. \:D/

That sounds like a plan. :yes: However I am not totally sure I understand it all.. Would the subforum be for websites that aren't just about Odyssey? Like my podcast The Real Deal?

I've never heard about this thing till now. But I guess I don't wander out of "Whit's End" that often. Sounds cool.
