Thats the only one that won't be coming.

This is the Grimeforum.com .

If I ever waiver on that, it will be just one thread for all genre's and thats your limit.

Good idea.

But, that would take work from someone willing to do it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have the time to do that, although hopefully there will be a page on grimewikipedia.

or a kind of calendar where you can view it. artists or users could add dates of events and release dates, but obviously that would be subject to abuse

Everyone wants bigger pictures...they aren't needed.

I think the rules about uploading etc should be added to the standard vB rules and then linked to when it comes up.

To the people saying about the extra boards...the current 'other' section isn't that full up, it's just not needed at the moment. You can just put [Football] in front of your post if you want for the time being.

No Point In Having A Area Which Isnt Going To Be Used Much, Coz Lets Be Honest, It Wont. Just Look At RWD's Other Rooms. It Would Just Be More Of A Workload For The Mods To Maintain.

Should be able to read your first PM you get, a welcome message from Hij. Hopefully should be able to read that, but then you can't send a PM till you get 10 posts, then your free to do everything as a full member.

Would be best to reduce the posts to only about 5 or less if we can soon.

Had to do it because a spam advertising bot signed up and started sending out PMs to members advertising fairly random things.

The thing so you can see subforums on the main page is good.
Now I'd say it would be suitable to put the RSS feed forum as a subforum to the main grime discussion.
And make a suitable name for the forum containing the listening booth and production room, as it seems a bit weird having the room called "listening booth and production room".

Lemon
24th May '08, 07:18 PM
Could have Grime Blogs and News as a subforum in Grime... Maybe. Listening booth used to get air though, until it moved till it's own room.

Also need a good name for Production/Listening Booth. Is easier to change the name now though with the Production and Listening Booth showing up in the sub forums underneath i guess.

Just need a good name really lol

If we add another section then need to move help section above the Random Room so it's easy for people to find.

If everything was sub forum of Random then wouldn't be as easy to keep an eye on whats new everywhere from the main page.

Although can think of ways to organise things as they get more cluttered.

Can changing the thing on Votes in polls, could of been useful but in practice it doesn't work so great. - DONE

Changing the name of Random room is bit pointless, picking another name will be probably copying somewhere else. Random describes it well really.
Sports room could be a good idea, even though football season is done and we're not in Euros.

Lemon
3rd June '08, 06:06 PM
Yeah is early days. Could make start a secret Hall of Fame for Full Members to see, so that there's a few threads put in the bank for if there ever was a full Hall of Fame of threads. I'll speak with ppl tonight.

Yeah could lower it to about 5. Is there to stop spam bots signing up and making a thread of crap, or sending PMs of crap. Could lower it a little, and wait, see how it works out.

If it didn't upgrade you to being a full member right after 10 posts it's probably cause the program/script thing that runs to upgrade anyone who's hit 10 posts to full member and being able to make threads probably runs every 10mins ish or less. So sometimes have to wait a little till it takes effect, usually pretty quick when i tested it.

Although obviously we can't really promote having multiple accounts. Plus the fact that it causes there to be old inactve accounts on the forum. But also everyone enjoys a laugh.

Just need to double click like you'd open MSN or something on your PC.

Took me a while to get clicking in the right place and at the right speed when i first became moderator, cause we had to modify a topic name from there.

Maybe a time limit on how quickly you can do it, cause when i went on RSS Feeds account, i went straight to blog room to edit a post title, and got what you said. But then when i made my own topic and tried it was ok. :confused:

Random exposure has to go in there lol

Stuff only goes in the war room.
No body leaves

War Room needs it's own hall of fame for that, it's deep pars.

Lauren Mason can go in there when we got our Disclaimer sorted for forum.

oh yeah, new suggestion: change "Location" to "Reppin'" so people have more choice about what they can put in there

also it's more "urban" lol

(idea jacked from SOHH)

Hmmm. Yeah can do it as purely a skin edit. So just on peoples posts, it will have Reppin instead

It'd look stupid above Random and below Grime.

Is either at bottom or at top. And is going to be at top for while and try it cause:

There's a sign up help section normal members can't see which is now easier to find.
Help is now easier for people to find.
Plus we now have somewhere to move all the site news threads, which will also help us remember to actually put out some news and updates on whats happening.

Well out of 158 people online, 5 are viewing the new Site News Section. So most people seem unbothered by the change. Loads never leave the Grime subforum really i guess.

Management, run, own, promote and pay for the site. Plus network for the forum, run articles mainly and other stuff in and around London. Radio, sets and that lark.

Admin look after the coding, the skins, generally the more techy stuff- just as important.

Small talk thread would probably not work so well cause most little things that people wanted to know would probably never get looked at or answered. And anything important would get lost in pages and pages.

Anything important gets a thread and anything smaller and less important usually gets added in somewhere along the lines anyway.
