Things You Can Do To Make RPGateway Better For Everyone

Whew, that's a long title. I think there is a list like this somewhere, but I can't remember where. Anyways, here goes.

1. Use other forums? Add our link to your sig.
Here's a quick and easy one:

Code: Select all: I'm a member of [url=http://www.roleplaygateway.com]RolePlay Gateway[/url].

And if you're really REALLY in love with RPGateway, here's a pretty:

Code: Select all: [url=http://www.roleplaygateway.com][img]http://www.roleplaygateway.com/styles/prosilver/imageset/rpgateway.png[/img][/url]

2. Post.
Try to post to everything and everything. You don't even have to post in RPGs, just post a lot in the Main Lobby and the Other forum. Start new topics! See how popular of a topic you can make!

3. Welcome new users.
New users don't always go to the Welcome Desk. Send PMs to newly registered users, welcoming them to the community! If you want to get something out of this, invite them to join your RPG or thread. Be helpful! (I'd really be amazed if someone started giving out paper plate awards for the 'Best Welcome Giver')

4. Invite others.
Invite other people to come and organize their games here on RPGateway. The bottom line is that we're better. Right?

5. Enjoy yourself.
We're all here to have fun. Laugh, joke, play. Don't take this stuff too seriously, it's just the internet. If you get mad, get up and walk away.

6. Complain.
That's right. Complain to me (or the other Admins). Post in the Help forum. Nothing helps us more than user feedback!

And here's a bonus, for those of you who really care.

Search for unanswered posts, and make it your goal to cut the number of unanswered posts down to 0.

You can find the unanswered posts button on the forum index, just above and to the left of all the forums.

I will start right away. ^^ My absence lately has made me miserable and now I partially back. I want to do what I can.

I am definately going to start working on the unanswered threads right away and work on welcoming new members, both in PMs and in the Welcome forum.

I'm not part of any other forum, really, but I am going to put a link to the site on my MySpace page and FaceBook eventually. Do we have any cool banners that I could put on there instead of just the link? I need something that is more noticeable that makes people want to click on it! I'm horrible at creating stuff like that. (I'm a ctually about to go to another thread and ask for help making a Melfina signature banner and avatar. -_-)

LOL, by "unanswered threads" I don't think Eric means "dead threads from two years ago" but you're old school and we all love you so it's okay.

Sorry for the mega delayed response, but, yeah.

We don't really have any UBER AWESOME images or banners (though, one of our awesome artists should start a thread for people to post things they've made), but you can hotlink to our banner image an' shiz, like I do in my current sig.

More posts breed more posts, so yay for you. And for all of you complaining about low posting rates, shut up and start posting. Mmmkay? I'll barrage you all with IMs and phone calls if you need to be reminded. }=]

alright...

as for making the forum better for everyone...

i got on the site for a chance to go RP, and a chance to further develop my RP skills, but making people happy is fun too!^_^

alright, I can't find a site suggestion page/thread/box, so again, if i'm outta line, lynch me later...

one of the things i've noticed is that the site is a little difficult to understand. the coloring without borders(however i did notice the two-tone color shading) makes each post kinda hard to decipher. I dunno what kinda forum host you're using, or if it's your own forum, but my general knowledge in forums is that borders are somewhat necessary.

Also, the text coloring on the background. It all seems to kinda blend in to the effect that it's like im looking at someone's myspace page. it's kinda difficult to read the text/info.stats at the bottom, eg. online users and such. If you have a light blue background, I would suggest a darker blue font, or sonmething that sticks out yet still blends nicely.

again, im sorry. If you decide to lynch me, try not to too much...

im only a noob XD

Not sure what you're talking about, Hekura. There is a thin white border between each post. And the forum background is tan. ???

*formulates idea*

What about t-shirts? If it's to crazy and wild, then let me know, but just hear me out first.

Someone could make a t-shirt design and get in contact with a t-shirt making company. Then they could be sold here--the site, not this thread--for money! And if they pay extra, they could get their username somewhere on the shirt, or a saying or something. I know that there are some people that donate to the site, but others probably want something out of it, right? So why not t-shirts?

I don't know, but I would feel special if I had a RolePlayGateway t-shirt. I'd feel like I'm in some kind of special club. =)

Just putting the idea out there.
