And now a message from Cher...
Okay. So because I'm60% OCD, and 30% prick, I'm going to suggest a forum cleanup. I could do the cleaning, if none of the other staff members feel like doing. I'm tired of seeing dead threads, and they're all so clumped up. I know, everyone's probably thinking, "What's next? Suggesting uniform topic titles?" The answer is, probably. I don't know. Anyways, I would probably make a thread in chat and people would link their threads to me and I would move them to the graveyard. I would need an admin to help me with character threads, because I can't edit anything in the general board. I hate seeing pages and pages of threads that have been abandoned and finished, but are still sitting there. It's about time that the staff cleans it up.
I'm also suggesting a set amount of time for the thread to be inactive. Three weeks, one month, I don't know. But there would be a thread for top cleaning announcements.
The third suggestion is something quite... Controversial in the world of roleplay. Word count and quality. I realise that there's the four sentence rule, but people are posting fragments, and those aren't sentences. We could add a word count widget or something so that people could count their posts because it's getting ridiculous how some people are writing four fragments. Combined, some of these probably equal to one and a half sentences. I'm not asking for a 100 word wc, but at least a 50-70 wc, so that we can add some details. It also helps the other person reply.
I also think that we should have a character acceptance list. I'm sure that some people are tired of waiting and I would totally accept characters when I'm bored. -shrugs-
I guess I'm done my little rant/suggestion topic. -shrugs-

I like this idea (: I think we should put the date our topic was created in the title ad then after 3 weeks it gets deleted if its no longer active

I like this idea so long as people tell you when their thread is dead. Because I tend to inactivate threads for 5-6 weeks at a time, and then once I've got inspiration I go back to it. I don't want those deleted since I'm not actually done with them. D:

Good idea, and I agree with Sni. Sometimes, my topics go inactive for a couple of weeks before me, or the other person gets around to posting. Plus, sometimes people forget about their topics and don't remember them for a while(I have to admit, it's happened to me several times)
But, I also like it because sometimes I'm scrolling through a specific location (ex. the lake) and I see a really cool topic that I want to reply to, but then I see that it's like, a month old. So then I get sad because it'd be weird to reply to it.

In the admin control panel, there is a way to do this so that topics that are not posted in for a certain about of time are automatically removed.

I think we tried to have a forum clean up a while back, but it was only a few of the staff who actually moved a lot of topics to the graveyard.
Yeah, I'm up for another clean up. BUT ONLY IF MORE OF THE STAFF ACTUALLY HELPS BECAUSE IT'S SO TIME CONSUMING AND I HAVE NO PATIENCE OK.
(I still love you guys you're all fabulous.)

YES CHERRIE THIS IS LIKE AN AMAZING IDEA.
Same as Dean, I'd help. I have a lot of time on my hands where Im bored and doing nothing. I could like ask people if they're done with topics and make lists of what need to be moved or something like that.

That'd require admin approval, though. xD

I love this idea. Especially the word count thingy.
