General update/call for ideas

[Selena Lupin]

As I'm sure you've all been noticing, I changed out the board graphics again. I've been trying to get the forum to a point where I'm happy with how it looks. There may be a few more changes before it remains set, but I'll try to be sure and not change it so much that none of you can recognize it. xD

Also, I'd like to get things moving a little better around here, so I'm asking for suggestions about how to do that. Ideas for plots, side-wide events, general changes to how things work..anything at all that you might think would improve how this site is run. If you have any such ideas or suggestions, please post in this thread and let me know what they are. I'm open to improvement.

And on a similar note, I would appreciate it if those of you that have the time or capability to do so would help in advertising. I've covered a lot of boards of my own accord, but extra help would always help out and be welcomed.

Sorry to say, I've got nothing other than the few private plot bunnies I've shared with the people involved... But, if I come up with anything, I'll get back to you!

Advertising: Yep Been Doing That *lol*

Plots: We need to solidify what the Death Eaters Plan to do so that , that plot can move on. We also might need a Voldy for that plot ? I don't know for sure. Since things have changed from the ideas in the books he would not have lost power or need to rebuild himself as the prophecy was not known.

School: I think if you toss up the grounds Plot for the Picnic and getting people ready for school it would be good to get people at least talking. So people can better meet and get to know one another. Students without a family can rp that way too.

Halloween Ball or Party : Might be something fun to do too. I don't know if we have enough people for it or not. Still it would be interesting I think.

Re the Death Eater plot: yeah, we need to get that one moving and decide among those of us that are playing the current DEs what they're going to do. Once we do that, we can get the wheels of that turning and get the calendar moving closer towards September 1st.

Re school: I was thinking of waiting until the first of the week to get the picnic/gathering started up, as I need to figure out how to best do events like that. So just a few more days, and we can get that moving.

Re Halloween: was thinking about doing something along those lines as well, once we get closer in-rp to that date. I'll probably set up a planning thread once we get everything moving, but thanks for the suggestion.

I don't think Voldy would have lost power or need to rebuild, no, but I do think that Hogwarts' defences are still considerable and it was only a touch of luck that had the Death Eaters find out about the cabinets they used to get in, so I stand by Snape's objections there if that has any bearing on the Death Eater plot.
