Changing the forum to a community forum tied with keeping it the same. So here we will discuss those options. Keeping it the same, we could make minor changes but the main concern is that the forum would just be going round in circles. To change to a community forum, we could expand on many things. Instead of Sports/Video Games/et al being sub-forums of Talk About Anything, they would be under their own category. More emphasis on the graphics sections. And several other things you may want. Post what you would like to see. |

I would kinda like to see more expansion on Sports / Video games, personally. I know there's plenty of people who are really into both (or maybe just one, like in my case,) and would like to discuss them more. The only games I've seen discussed is DBZ games (for the most part). I don't know what to expect on sports...I don't like sports. How would one emphasize the graphics portion? That might be neato to add to. I really need to notice these things. Edited by Bouncefox, Jun 25 2010, 07:25 PM.

There is already a sports section but it's a little hidden away. Graphics is also quite hidden. |

I personally don't think you can expand the Graphics section much more. Well, there could be a tutorial or something...but still. I don't think many members are really into graphics. Henceforth, the lack of attention. |

I am starting to warm to the idea of making the site more community based, and I was one of the peop,le that voted to keep the forum the same before, so MY DECISION CHANGES THE BALANCE OF POOOOOOOWEEEEHHRRR!!!! Anyhoo, I think the Graphics section is fine as it is, but I think the Show Off section should be split to give literature, poetry etc its own forum rather than being a subforum in the place where most of the graphics go too. I know that it can be very disheartening when you post something up in Show Off and it either recieves no reply's or only one or two. Spreading the categories a little can help solve that problem, and make the place a bit more friendly to people that like to share their works. I think that making the site anime and manga orientated, in general, may be a bit of a mistake, when you consider how inactive the Other Manga and Other Anime sections are in general. I mean, there are a few topics but it's one of the least-likely-to-gain-a-reply parts of the forum lol. However if we would be putting DB into these sorts of sections activity may pick up there, for a while at least until we became known for community rather than DBZ discussion. I like the idea of expanding all the subforums in Talk About Anything. |

I second Sousen's idea of spreading out the Show Off categories. Everyone has something they're good at. If a person can find that section easily, it'll make him / her happy. I know I was happy when I found a Writing section, haha. I don't think it would be a mistake to shift it to a more anime / manga based forum, since many members seem to know about anime and manga. Which is cool. There's lots to discuss out there, and there's new members who could come along and put in their two cents. But that's my thoughts. |

Changing to general anime / manga would be a bigger shift. Anyway, with showoff and all that, there could be a general creative section for works other than graphics as well as leaving the graphics section as it is (possibly +tutorials section) |

I like that idea, it gives space for the writers as well as the graphic artists. The thing is, many members watch/read other animes and mangas respectively, but in terms of willingness to discuss them we're not striking gold. We have popular "recommend manga"-like topics, and ones where people go "hey, I just finished with ______, has anyone else seen it?" or something like that, and even they're normally starved of much attention. In terms of actual discussion, we're, as a site, even less fruitful. Making a move to focus on that would be a bit counter productive, I think. And as Kyonko said, it would be a bigger shift. I think another positive change would be to move the Parliament back onto this actual site, rather than having its own board. I think if we condensed it down a bit we could put it here for all members to see rather than where it is now, virtually ignored by most members and inactive to a large extent. The Parliament is a pretty positive aspect of the community, so it would be worth having it here for the shift too. Just thinking... |

But I make add money off the parliament forum LOL Very basic example of a layout: http://s1.zetaboards.com/DBZFLayoutEg/topic/3511534/1/ Dragonball sections moved down, as part of phasing out. Edited by Meowth, Jun 26 2010, 07:26 PM.

Are we getting rid of other Animes + Mangas altogether? Also I dont think we should have a seperate part for the GFX Battles and Mafia game, and what contest what go in the 'Contests' forum? In Entertainment shouldnt there be a section for Movies/TV, Music, maybe books? |

Well, there's the Fanfic contest... I remember suggesting a Contest forum back in Parliament. -> http://house.dbzf.org/index.php?topic=67.0 But it was dropped in discussion due to other issues popping up / new Parliament members being chosen. But, as I'm looking at this example forum. I couldn't really call it a final draft. There's still more stuff to add, yeah? Anime and Manga could fit in there somewhere. But, I would rather just keep Anime and Manga as one section, instead of branching it off into popular stuff. That way, it can be discussed as a whole more. And hopefully receive more attention. Edit: But I've noticed that the sites that are related to DBZF usually don't receive much attention from actual members. It's because of this, I agree with Sousen in saying that Parliament could be moved here. More members could look at it, perhaps?

The example is just to give an idea, adding every section would take sometime, lol. Anime/Manga sections would fit in there somewhere, most likly entertainment. With regards to parliament, it would be a bit of a pain to move it all back here and the reason it was moved was because it was so clutted and compressed. Also, I get some money from ads on the parliment forum. I would ideally like to move the forum over to a hosted forum but that is a big shift and I don't know if it would be worth it as well as not having any donations LOL |
