RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

Good job,All the changes seem really good also i am glad videogames will be a forum rather than a sub forum,about the names i do not think of them as cheesy but more like the names are clear and easy to undestand to everyone

I think it would be smarter to combine Entertainment and Video Games as just one Entertainment Section.

RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

I think it looks pretty good. I actually don't really mind any of the names (with the Possible exception of Celadon Mart being changed; I like DNA's suggestion of Slateport Market). The only thing that bothers me is Competitive TCG and Casual TCG being split. IMO, it takes up a lot of room, and I think I would get tired of tracking active threads in both forums. I also don't think "Player's Sandbox" really needs to be there, I think it could stand to be merged with "State of the Game." Overall, I think this is a great idea, and I can't wait for it to be implemented. Will the design of the forum (e.g. the colors, fonts, etc.) be changed?

- The "Game Corner" description seems too long, and most of what is posted in it can be found in the Game Corner Rules anyhow. No need to put it there as a warning, if they don't read them, behead those nubs. >(

- The name "Pokebeach TCG Activities sounds a bit off, seeing that both subforums deal with Tournaments. Why not just "Pokebeach TCG Tournaments"?

I'm not sure I like how much the TCG takes up the forum, but if that's what the masses are into nowadays.

Even though some announcements and stickies have been up for ages, we still have members that don't read them. Some of these are why isn't the thread I posted visible or why can't I reply to topics. By having the information available in both the description and the subforum itself, it should be easier for members to figure out the answer as to why they can't do whatever.

As to the name being TCG Activites, I like that better because then it gives a designated spot for tournaments without hogging space in deck forums. If its what I think it is, regular deck contests could be held there. They would get the attention they want by the players interested in them. I have no interest in Red Shark, therefore I don't ever view there.

The majority of the members here do TCG; it isn't primarily players that do the video games. A forum must adapt to its member base. An example is if a battling clan has a forum where they discuss whatever they want, the Pokemon Video Games section is likely a lot bigger than the TCG Section if they even have a TACG Section at all.

I think it looks like a good layout WPM, well done.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

The new layout seems pretty cool. I would just change some of the names of the titles.

lol

First of all, the exclamation marks on almost all the names make us look like some eager 5 year old... I guess Jon could pass for one ;)

Pokebeach TCG Activities ~ Sounds like a playdate with the girl across the street. Current events/events sounds more professional

Collectors Paradise ~ Just coz we don't all live in cal doesn't mean you have to rub it in our faces :p Collectors cove sounds nice. Also, collecting questions should be a sticky in general TCG discussion cuz... now that I think about it this is kind of a waste. Collectors stuff can fit in with the general TCG

Everyday deck garage ~ This isn't home improvement. You aren't Tim Allen. Casual play deck garage seems a bit better

Players sand box ~ There better be shovels and purple plastic turtles :eek: lol on a serious note, I think once again it should be changed to be a bit more professional. I like pokebeach for being laid back and fun, but the body of our forums needs to be professional. Maybe "Strategies and Ideas in the making"

Let's Trade! ~ Video Game Trades



Sorry if any of my comments were taken rudely.


*Edit* I like them too Jirachi, but I think it's in Pokebeach's best interest to make them a bit more formal.

being that i'm Carl- i have to disagree-
I think what Jon is trying to do is try to make the forums more lax than that of Gym, note-
PokeBEACH
So i like this idea.

I would like the Current Event section to stay up on top and not always be black and white.
i say we add 5th gen to video game discussion a few days after BW comes out. So right now we have current event: black and White and in a few month when the new pokemon wii game news starts coming out we could have "Current Event: Pokemon" (whatever the name is here)

WPM could u make this work?

i want people to read this
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

We already have that in the news fourm and B/W. The thing with the names though seems kinda.. like more childish and not offical like JC said.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

Why does dmaster write everytime dmaster out? o.o
Anyway, I quite like the new names. I'd just do Let's trade! to Trading corner

dmaster out?
Because it is a catchphrase or slogan. It makes dmaster look cool I guess?

Starting to like the new layout. Cheesy names, but it's cool I guess.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

It looks great but I would like to see Celodon Mart changed to Slateport Market, like others have suggested. Other then that, I have nothing (my opinion doesn't matter anyway :p)

THIS MAKES THE WRITER IN ME RAGE. J.K. ROWLING IS A BORING WRITER; SHE'S JUST POPULAR. (Though I suppose it's good that Stephanie Meyer wasn't here...)

IMHO, Shakespeare would be a better choice. It's hard to disagree with the fact he's KINDA the King of English Literature.

I think the biggest thing that annoys me is the Game Corner being higher up than forums like Entertainment in the last section. Get rid of it or keep it down at the bottom, I say >:V

Oh, and I kind of agree with CH on the description of the Writing Corner. Though I would suggest Ernest Hemingway over Shakespeare, solely to annoy her.

Shakespeare? King of English Literature? He may be popular with nice masterpieces, but it's a bit hasty to quickly give him that title. Pushing that digression aside, having people emulating Shakespeare in fan fiction? Do not want. However, J.K. Rowling is boring when it comes to action/adventure novels, and even I would have put Hemingway over Rowling.

Even better suggestion? J. R. R. Tolkien.
Edit: <DNA> or maybe C. S. Lewis

I see hating the Corner, but I don't really get what you hate about groups.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

Groups are fine as they promote intelligent discussion. Game corner needs to go. people have enough fun browsing, anyways.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

I agree that the game corner should be nuked, and this would be the perfect time to do it. However, I think the Groups should stay, they are a great place to talk about deck combos and such. I also have to give you props on splitting up Competitive and non competitive TCG play, can't wait to see this when it is finished, great job.

Don't kill clubs but.......

kill game corner kill game corner kill game corner

Clubs is good as theres actual discussion going on.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

Why kill the game corner, if you don't like it don't use it, its as simple as that.
 
RE: FOR ALL: Forum Reorganization Project

I don't see what the big deal is with the Game Corner...
