I'd like to mention a few ideas, not exactly major ideas, but perhaps some things that could be done for the good of FFRepublic.
1. It's a fresh start. Old members are returning and new members from ACF, FFOF and FFE are arriving. With it being an all new slate, I think perhaps a Forum Log thread should be produced. Seperating the done, in the works and to be started things with different colours so we all know what's under construction, and what to expect in the near future. We're kind of asking one another questions about the battle system, guild system, gold saucer, website, etc. The communication with features etc is quite low, and could be improved upon very simply.
2. I believe it'd be wise to hold several events. I know we have the banner competition underway, and I obviously know about the Repubbies, but other than posting about in several threads, I think that there could be more events. I was thinking of organising something with Turks about an inter-forum role-playing tournament to kick things off there in addition to the 'Roleplaying Central' and one on one battles. I know more events would be nice for the members, and it'll set a nice Republic Points span around for when the Gold Saucer re-opens and the itemshops of armour, weapons, magic, etc.
3. Gold Saucer, one of the best things in FFRepublic to build up your account. I think adding more to it would only create a better account devolpment situation. We've all got custom titles, custom avatars, easy username changes, and I'm sure we'll get Desktop and Liscence free soon too. Perhaps add midi song to your profile? Change your username colour? Re-introduce the FFRepublic lottery? Alot of these come free with Lesane's VBulletin store hack, so I'm sure they're easily custom codeable.
4. Will you marry me, Kirstin?
Overall, I just believe more communication between forum staff and members would be for the best. Sorting out the new features in the not so distant future, holding more events would be for the best. Just let us know what's going on, it'd be highly appreciated. I can see the Staff Lounge, but I don't see many things planned for the future. There's plenty of good ideas, but they don't get anywhere. If they do, they aren't noticeable. Make FFRepublic a professional, well-organised forum where the members matter more than anything. That'd be like the old FFRepublic; when it was at it's best. |
