All Dollers, I need your advice!

So tell me, what would your idea of a perfect dolling forum be? What features would it have? What are some things in other forums that you loved? What things turned you off? How do you think it should be moderated?

I was just talking on the doll chat to people about the perfect imaginary forum. Basically we think the best forum ever would be epic, it would be named EPIC, lol. And from the word epic, we came up with the idea that it should be hero themed!

For instance, one could choose whether to be on the hero or villain side with special private sub forums for each. Your titles would reflect your preference. People could doll their characters and post bios, and what powers they have, or even stats.

Aside from the usual contests, events, shops, chat, games, etc, there would of course be rpgs going on, and doll battles (one on one contests). And the adopt a newbie idea could be turned into a sidekick/hero duo! And we would have minion artists that do our bidding. Mwahahahaaaa...

Well the thing is, while the ladies of silindor have the resources to start our own forum, we get busy at times, and we would need help with the day to day administrative duties.

So the point of this journal is to get ideas, and to see if anyone would be willing to help us get on our feet. With so many forums dying off, we are thinking about adding another hang out for people to enjoy. So tell us what you would be interested in if you are interested at all. Give us any hero theme ideas you can come up with.

I'm not promising anything yet, but I do want your input. And we'll take it from there. Please refer all of your friends who may be interested to this journal . XD

P.S. I've got tons messages sitting around. Sorry if I don't thank everyone! I really do appreciate the favs and watches! XD

Hm, I'm not particularly attracted by the theme, it means you'll have to work on a consistent background/storyline.

I hope there will be OTMs there !

Mh each sections should have its specific mods, not only global mods (these should be called for serious business, not the daily tasks)

Ah for the perfect forum (that is totally idealized by Ulis here) :

- you can choose your level of criticism (sometime I wish there is a soft cc gallery, a harsh cc gallery etc)

- critcisers can redline to make corrections anytime (or there is a form before posting a doll that says
"redlining editing allowed ?(y/n)"

- the newbie adoption system has its own subforum and you can't erad (or at least mustn't criticize) the way of learning in other duets.

the perfect forum would have a pool of [good quality] tutorials and another one for reference / inspiration links.


MMh I'll see if I have other ideas !

I think one of the most impotant things to do is be consistent with events. Do something every month and be on time with is.

As someone who is more of a casual doller than a serious one it might also be cool to make some competitions just for beginners. I know a lot of people who claim they do not enter anything because they feel like they don't have a chance anyway. So maybe doing something for pros and amateurs would be something that could work.

Also.. if you need a hand with anything technical, feel free to ask me.

I am in luv with that idea! I can help as much as you need me!
