[Ideas] BeastToast Idea Farm - Page 3

**eXosYn** · 09-21-2008, 11:21 AM

Hey Toasties...

We've been noticing a massive decline of activity, and we have dispatched a massive mailing to our users to see what happened that caused them to lose interest in the Toast. I now present the [Idea] thread. As mentioned in your email, we need your ideas. NO MATTER what you think of it, we can use your help, so please..please..post your thoughts here.

It's your turn to help revive what was one of the most popular forums on the internet, and we need your input to make this the best it can be. A forum does not survive solely on a great forum administration and staff team, it needs a bunch of great users like yourself to help make it the best we can. Because of that, your ideas are the most precious thing we have, and we would like you to share them with us..

Hey guys, I see a lot of people logging in and out..but we seriously need ideas...

Ideas could be for

The forum's categories
the forum's look
features you want to see
other topics...
marketing strategies
and whatever else you can think of..

So please, post your ideas..

After all, its you members that keep this forum moving. We keep it up and move it smoothly but, if it wasn't for all fo you members, and all of your suggestions, and the toipics, the posts, BT would be dead, essentially.

...and if BeastToast gets dead, well then, all the admins/mods will kill themselves.

That's motivation to keep posting - because - wouldn't you all feel terrible if you were responsible for the death of like 10 people??!!

Thought so! Now POST!

Someone very dear to me likes this site...
so I might as well be more active like the past... XD

Can we do something about the colors??
>.<
Maybe people choose their theme of how they view a page?

Other than that, all I can think of for now is to attempt to advertise wherever we can. Also, some of the forum section changes we talked about before. Example would be to put TV, movies, and videogames as subcategories in a singular "Entertainment" forum.

where are K@0t!c's?
She ordered them like a year ago...

Just because someone is new a a particular forum doesn't mean they've never used a computer before. It's like being the new kid in school, and it fucking sucks. Everyone already has a best friend and nobody wants to listen to you.

Call me selfish, but I tried to make some suggestions when I first got here and everyone freaked out. It may not be broke, it may not need fixing, but things can always be made better. I'm guilty of scaring new members away myself, so I know it's difficult, but new blood makes forums better.

I'm sure the changes to come for BeastToast are going to be fantastic and I know several of the members are very cool, but the effort as a whole is not worth it. I know I'm at a disadvantage to try and build credentials here, so I'm not even going to bother. I may check back periodically, but I have my own forum to tend to.

Best of luck for the BT future. :]

We need a member base, sure, but I'd rather ban 4 idiots that scared 1 person off than let them scare another person who may actually be valuable to the forums. Trolls are on my hit list.

I agree...trolls be gone! I hope this time around we'll be able to successfully procure some ideas. I, personally, will not be taking any shit from people that bash the newer members. All ideas are welcome by anyone. If it doesn't seem like the coolest..don't worry. We can try them all. If anyone gets bashed for "stupid ideas" let me know..and I'll personally deal with it.

The theme can be changed at the bottom-left corner of any page. There are a handful of themes to choose from. BTW, tall, you should get on IM sometime...we miss you..

You make it sound like you ordered it off a website and it never came or something. Archy gave Ria a piercing, and Ria paid in advance for a patch that Archy stated she didn't have supplies for. So she said she can give one to her when she got supplies. Archy asked you a while ago to ask Ria what kind she wanted, but an answer was never given. With all the shit you know was going on in certain peoples lives, putting the whole 'getting supplies to make stuff' situation on hold is understandable, espeically by "close friends". But now that shit's together, and we have supplies, and a site-in-progress, maybe she can get her that patch.

what about doing something like Shinsen-Radio, like as in host a radio station?

The multiple themes are already covered but, being a bit more active hmm...*scratches his head* you know what? You just might be on to something there!

El Pirata · 09-22-2008, 04:40 AM

I still don't see anything in the bottom left corner to change themes, maybe only admins or mods have access to this.

Hey El, I was talking to HeartAttack last night and looked into the themes. It appears that the Beruku3 theme is the only one that's completely built. The others aren't nearly done. Some lack images, or literally fall apart when you select them. I'll talk to Chad soon about either finishing them up, or getting new ones for the Toast. Thanks!

Here's a shot of what we're seeing..and until they're complete, we can't launch with them.
