From our current administration, to mods, hacks, whatever. Just post a general list of ideas that might help BF out of this spot we are in. Mike has a similar thread in The Asylum but you don't exactly get the best responses in that forum so here it goes.

I want to know how you feel, and what you want.

My thread was a thread to tell everyone to get off their asses and stop relying on staff to do everything when all they do is sit and bitch in the asylum about how there's no activity.

Wasn't ment to be takin serious.

old post forget the subforum stuff

So this is probably one of the only times im actually going to be productive but you guys really need some help.

Step 1:Fix the skin.
- Nobody wants to post on a site that looks ugly, and nobody is going to register on a site that is ugly. It's a forum, we spend all our time on this forum staring at the skin.. it should at least be pretty.

Step 2: Take out the subforums
- It's obvious that the gaming sections have been doing worse since they have been merged into subforums. It's also obvious that the comic forum/arcane sanc/music forum and pretty much any other subforum gets less activity.

So basically it would look like this.
General battleforums
-Introductions
-Chit chat
-Arcane sanctuary
-Asylum
-Void
Entertainment
-Tv shows/movie forum
-Comic forum
-Music forum
Starcraft
-sc section
-sc section
Diablo
-diablo section
-diablo section
Warcraft
-wc section
-wc section
-wow section

Step 3: The entertainment section
-Yeah, give it it's own section don't make it all subforums. Also, make a tv show/movie forum. We could discuss all the cool shows like heroes and house in there it will do fine just throw someone who KNOWS what they are doing to mod it.

Step 4: Throw away most rules in general sections, but keep rules in gaming.

-Yeah Throw away most of the rules, and be leniant but still keep the flaming/trolling out of general and obvious spam. Obviously the gaming sections should be more strict.

Step 5 : Use the fucking portal
- Um yeah, use our portal to actually review games, and provide gaming news it's not that hard let anybody submit articles and the staff can review them and give out points for articles and add them to the front page. You could get an article team going or something to that can just add articles directly to the front page.

Step 6: A more friendly enviorement
-Basically we don't act like dicks to everyone who posts here.


So uh yeah. Do this shit and battleforums will be better. This is why i should be admin.

I actually seen that post in the voting forum last night when I was lurking the private forums...

We could do most of that, but reviewing games may be hard. I don't know how many of us actively go out and buy new games, and try them. If any of you do though, and would like to help out in that endeavor please let me know in this thread.

The layout is about the same as you have it..Kink for some reason wants the Asylum at the bottom of General though. I originally moved it back up above Teh Void because that's how it has always been. I'm actively working with my staff for number 6, and we are in the process of making a new, cleaner set of rules for everyone to abide by.

As for skins, I personally miss the old ones. Those were cool skins. Maybe RoaCh could help with that.

You could add a review forum. I know some sites have them and anyone is allowed to post their own reviews for anything. From games to movies.

Just a thought.

That'll just make a chunk of the already posting members leave.

Dark, I'm sure some members at least would like to see more
people on here but it's not going to happen with people being
total asses to each other, so... I guess one thing I'd like to
see on here is people getting along, not trolling, not harassing,
not calling someone names for disagreeing with them...
