My Suggestions {Emy}

[Kairi Amaretto]

• In the meantime try to spellcheck a bit on your boards because I see a bunch of mistakes and such. This would probably be a good idea because you wouldn't want the site looking all messy.
  
  
• The rules look great and organized. They could even be more organized if you posted each one in a different thread.
  
  
• You should really create an Affiliate board if you haven't, because I don't see it anywhere. Maybe apply a mini banner scroll once you get the chance to also.
  
  
• I like how you have the PM bar. It probably came with the skin, but I like it...
  
  
• The layout and site banner look really great, but how does it tie in with the theme? You haven't really created one yet, so I guess I really shouldn't comment on this one. [But the theme should probably be placed up asap so the members know about the site. I can help you a bit on some details for a twist or something if you want. Just Pm me]. But the site banner doesn't tell about the site even. The font and colors give it a dark, mysterious look, and I was just wondering if this was exactly what it was about? I really like them a lot, honestly, it's not like that, but I'm just asking how does it mix in with the theme?
  
  
  
  Everything else seems pretty good. So keep up the great work! *does peace sign*

Thank you for your suggestions, all are appreciated.

- Yes, I created a thread in the info board that explains about the location, reputation, education, and concepts of the school, so hopefully it will help others understand what the forum is all about.

- Yes, I created the PM bar by myself ( ). It's pretty easy, I just put together some links and added them into the header.

- I agree with you about the banner and "theme" thing. But the thing is, this template came with the banner so I don't know if I am allowed to change it without permission. I asked to add the name of my forum to it, and I got permission to do so, but if any other changes need to be made then they will be done in the future, when changes need be.

- Also, I will be later looking for some moderators and such, so once the forum grows a bit more (I haven't even started advertising yet! LOL) I may put some applications and it would be great if you wanted to apply for a position sometime.

- When creating the site, I did think about an Affiliate board, but decided to wait until the forum grows more to put it up, or members would just join to advertise and affiliate and won't stay active and loyal (which is kind of what happened at Hogwarts Remix. A lot of members came just to put their forum in the Affiliate board). So, once there's more members, I may add a board after it is certain that most members remain active.

Thanks again for leaving your opinions. All rates help the forum! Happy Thankgiving!!

That's what I'm here for! [Now I feel like Yuffie..]

Well, I LOVE the site. The only thing that I would add to Emy's is that you should add a chat-box. Then, the members could talk freely there, kind of like an OOC. Thats all. This site, like I said before, is the BEST!

*claps hands and squeals.* The best!

[Emberlynn Thastria]

I agree with Emy and Maria. I think that your site is AMAZING!! I like the idea of the chat-box. A lot of the other sites that I am part of have one and they are very convenient. *peaces sign and rock on signs on hands*

[Kameron Wiles]

Thank you guys for your opinions as well. I may add a C-Box in the future, or maybe even put up a poll for members to vote on whether or not we should get one. I do enjoy having a chatbox on the forum, but too many Guests that visit the site use it to spam and advertise their forums.

Then again, it could be nice for users who are roleplaying to let each other know when they have completed their post. It all depend.

[Kairi Amaretto]

I think a CBox would be nice! And I will eventually create my character, because I really want to start roleplaying here! It's better than Harry Potter! (Well, so I think..)

But since HR is dead, I suggest you take some things from there, 'kay? More suggestions:

Make a list of items; books, wands, etc.
Make a list of potions and spells; Take these: hogwartsremix.proboards59.com/index.cgi?board=information&action=display&thread=1150398425

[Kairi Amaretto]

And in the application form (when you create your character) you put for 'members to stay active'.

Do you promise to remain active, preventing your account from being deleted?

I find this kind of like forcing members to stay, and maybe yelling at them. So you may need to change this.

Actually, I run several forums myself, and the good parts of a cbox always outweigh any of the bad parts. And now when you register, I think you can make it so only registered people on the cbox can post on it((I think)). SO that's something you need to consider.
