I'll run it past B&B but I think its a good plan - a welcome center is an excellent idea

I can't see anything wrong with it but as you say B&B may have an idea why it won't work.

Equilism have something like that, where there are highlights from news stories related to the forums, as well as NS related news

www.equilism.org

Blonde Bimbo had created something similar, but that seemed to have disappeared when the forum was converted from invisionfree to zetaboards . . .

I guess its worth a shot, but I have no idea how to

Suggestions from a noob:

An Introduction forum
Forum skin
Spam Chamber?


When I created my nation, I received upwards of 10 telegrams from people asking me to join their region. I think it would be a good idea if someone did that.

First of all, welcome to the region

As for the spam chamber, there is an option in telegrams (on NS), that once you select the offensive TG you can click a button and it will ignore all future messages from that person. We can't really deal with anything NS related here though . . .

Well we have an introductions thread but the idea to move it out of the bar into a new area is good. Is that possible.

Skins I've been looking into and we'll have a poll in about a week.

Care to explain the spam forum a bit?

I guess the Blonde Bimbo Memorial Entertainment Centre is more or less a spam forum.

Things like Spam points, Random pictures, Last person to post here wins, 1000 posts, would be in a Spam forum.



A skin would definitely be on the top of the list. As well as making a formal/separate Introductions forum.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think we also probably need some more serious discussion threads around the place.

We could reopen parliament and tell poeples we need people to fill positions.

I'd be for that within the guidelines I suggested a while ago, certainly with input from others. I don't want to have the same thing happen again but we can't be so afraid of doing something that we kill the region.

Unfortunately, parliament is permanently closed as it effectively killed regional activity . . . however, any suggestions to expand the current Town Hall plan would be welcomed (i.e: people to look after various forums, regional affairs, foreign affairs, entertainment. etc . . .)

We need to do something. I say we start a RP government we don't set up an existing government system but let people figure it out as we go along. That way we can start as soon as there is a bord set up for it. If we have something other than a general ramble bord and a simple games bord I think we'll get more members.

People seem to have short memories: we did set up a RP government . . . twice . . . both times it tore the region apart. The first time saw people like Chocoholia and all the regular posters back then leave, the second time saw people like Westaway, Reubenlucy and RV and other regular posters disappear.

Unfortunately, we don't have the numbers to try this experiment a third time (despite the fact all the main protagonists the last time have long since departed). We have lost that many people because of this, and I regret even suggesting the government plan last time round because we had plenty of activity after the "presidential" (new admin) election.

What do we do then? Something needs to be done about the membership problem and it seems to me that an off-site NS forum is pointless without something to link it back to a political theme. Playing politics, after all, is the purpose of nation states.
