New "Idea" / "Feature" for site...

[scott]

The only problem I can see with something like this.

We only have x# of active forum users. If we select someone who isn't ever on the forum, we'd have to PM them and hope that they reply. And in my experience w/ forums and non-forum using members. Getting them to reply/visit the forum is like pulling teeth. ha

I would think it would only be open to people who use the forum.

The only problem with limiting it to people who use the forum is, running out of people to 'interview'. If it was a monthly thing, we'd prolly get a little over a year done.

You say that like there won't be at least another 12 "regulars" coming in over the next year...vote of confidence?!

Ha. sorry I'm kinda grumpy today. So I guess it's making me slightly negative.

I guess I've just had bad experience with trying to run our old forum (old site) and never seeing new folks come in often. I've always been of the opinion, because of it, that 99% of users will never hit the forum. This forum is a lot different though and it does seem like we see new people a lot more often.

So it could work. I'd just have to come up with a good way to randomly choose who's turn it is on the block. ha 

[scott]

Oh hell. I just looked at the member list... and we have a lot more than a year's worth of users. This could definitely work.

Don't worry we all have those days

Cool!

Even if it failed miserably...no great loss, right?!

Don't worry about the "grumpy"

(It's why I haven't been around in a few days = sick, grumpy, and *HIGH* likelilood of having to apologize for, regret, take-back something I'd say/post)

For me...better not to post anything when I get like that

[disgaeniac]

Ya' know - nothing I said/suggested is written in stone, or anything

Another possibility would be something along the lines of "Get to know your fellow collectors/community" sort of thing.

Maybe...based on length of time as a member (to take out any 'popularity' / 'voting') aspects?

Ex.

(Set(s) of questions/answers for):

30 day member = how'd ya get here, what were you looking for, general interests/tastes, etc.

6 month member = more in depth/detailed = Gaming/collecting history, experiences/likes & dislikes about the site, etc

1 year member = -talk about it

2 year = "     "

3 year = "     ",

etc.

Maybe w/ some new badges implemented as well?

He he...

Maybe a *special* "Disgaenia" badge (w/ a pic of Etna, of course:) for...creating/suggesting new ideas/features that end up (?) maybe

getting implemented XD??

Ha add it to the list of many of the other badges that need to get implemented yet.

Oh, you guys already have more coming?!

[scott]

I have a bunch of badges all made up sitting in a folder. But, they have to wait on the to-do list, since they aren't critical updates.
