May I suggest, as someone who has been involved in such for 7 years, a reformation of how this site's RPG section operates. I, when I was an admin of my own forum, presided over a similar set-up of an RPG section. To tell you from experience, it collapsed under its own weight due to clutter and disorganization.
May I suggest, setting up a sub-board in the RPG board for profiles or biographies. Then each RP thread creator makes a thread in that sub-board with a clear format of how the biographies for their role-play should look like. Not only do you now have seperation, but a clear format and one-stop shop for looking for information on a specific character in a specific role-play.
I would also advocate for the removal of "dead" role-plays by deletion or, a less lethal option, moving them into another sub-board labeled "Past Role-Plays".
That is my 2 cents,

While those are great ideas, the site hasn't been very active in terms of rpg's. I could see us doing this in the future, but right now the ephemeral section is to inactive to warrant the creation of a sub forum.
My opinion may not be the same as the other's though.

Nothing is instant, of course. But, I do believe the current state of the RP section may be the reason the activity may be so low.

A spoiler alert option would be handy.

There has to be a better way to upload images.I was all excited about the forum code at first but really it would be so much easier if I could bring something in right from a folder or from the desktop because alot of these sites that let you upload images (aside from comicvine) give you restrictions on how much you can upload so eventually you will have to start deleting so that you can,upload more..and If you linked those files through the same system in a respect thread..when you click on the links they won't be there anymore.
I'm not demanding this be done or anything but if this is a possibility..it would be nice to have that.

If you made a thread for us laymen on how to use those, that would be awesome.

Of course, I just need a bit for time for when I am not busy with school. Sunday would most likely be the day where I can lay it out.

I mean, I would hate to seem power hungry but if you want to kill the middleman - if was given power over headers and fotters; I could do all the requested codes easily.

@dedman:
I am going to move your post to Site feedback. Maybe you will have more luck there with the answer.

I think maybe a thread rating system on the side of the thread. Either 5 star system or like the karma thing, we're people just thumb-up or thumb-down it.

Plus if we have such a thing up and well in use before any trolls start eventually knockin down the doors it might be enough of a discouragement to slow up or restrain activity (if they can see the majority just don't like the thread, migh encourage them to make threads appropriately. All of course dependent of if possible

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I thought of the idea. And it'll send Admin and Mods right to threads that have bad reps (many thumbs down or whatever they can have).

I'm not 100% sure of what this site format has to offer, which is exactly why I made Dane and Sparda admins as well. They're far better with the technical aspect. So, technical suggestions should go their way...For the most part. If it's a simple format change with boards and such, I can likely do that.

You can also check that user's profile. It is a lot faster than going through the pages. I've never understood how that helps a whole lot. People don't have their original/ most recognizable names written on their profile or anything.
