I am working on a brand new "div-styled" layout. It will look similar to what we have now...but much better!
I am also working on adding more features. So far what I have thought of is:
1) New emoticons/smilies (to replace all the ones we have now with Buffy themed ones)
2) Attachments. We can attach files directly to our posts and host them here.
I wanna know if anyone has ideas! Do we need more boards? Should we change the way the boards layout? I wanna know what you want to see!
Are there things we have now that we like/dislike?
Should I remove some sections?
I am up for all ideas, advice, critiques and criticism!!

Nice! You might want to go ahead and delete the Pen-Pal sub-board. It's going nowhere. Or I could delete it myself.

I think we should make a section just for the Buffy and Angel shows, that way the threads about them don't have to go in with all the other TV shows.

And maybe just make the fan fiction area a sub-board in the fan art section. If we do that we could either just name the section "Fan art and Fiction" or "Fan Creations"

That's how it is at MAgic Box Forum and I don't like it that way too much. I think it sort of puts a feeling of lower importance on fanfiction writers because it is a subboard and the graphics board isnt.

I actually would prefer to keep the separated. I think they both garner enough traffic to deserve thier own boards But keep the ideas coming. My template is completed so now I am simply working on new buttons, etc. I cannot wait to get it up! It's very new, yet will feel familiar

So it's mostly up.
I got lazy on the "b" icons next to the board titles. Those are temporary and will be replaced tomorrow. Also, I noticed a few of the buttons I made look really bad against the new red bar, I'll fix that too.
Oh, and I'll make a better Faith header too. I'm super burnt out lol.

It's looking pretty cool! I like the main Buffy cast icons at the top of the forum.
I think the forum sections could be cleaned up a bit. The "Buffyology" section is fine, but the second section could be split up. Something like:
SlayAcademy Slayer Stadium Dormitorium Customizer's Coven Art Class Storytelling & Poetry Class
(I can't think of a section title) The Great Hall The Bronze Entertainment (Television & Film)
I'm a bit confused about the TV & Film section. Is it supposed to have anything and everything, which it seems to right now, including Buffy, Angel, and all other TV shows? Maybe there could be a separate section for the Buffy & Angel TV shows under the "Buffyology" section, like SlayerLV said.

When that was first put up, I was thinking it was for just Buffy & Angel, but since I didn't know for sure and there are so many other show discussions in there, its hard to moderate. EDIT I am VERY happy that you alternated between Chen and Jeanty, Phil! EDIT AGAIN I miss the affiliates scroll.

WOW! Love the new design! Did u make it? Yes I made it. There was hair pulling, blood, and finally inspriation Rogue: I think that was a great idea. I decided to keep the Great Hall in SlayAcademy though. Somethings in there pertain to it...plus it keeps the "rules" section higher up on the board. I made a separate board for t.v. and film for non-Buffy. I am up for making sub-boards for other shows in there (Heroes, Bionic Woman, Firefly, etc.). But I wanna know which shows deserve it more, and which ones would get the most activity. Example: I wouldn't make a sub-board for Full House...cause that show is over and it would probably waste space. So let your ideas come forth!

[not actually praying] Smallville - I will def mod! Heroes - Count me in as a mod! and could we vote on whether or not we should have a HIMYM sub-board? Also, I've been moving tv and movie threads from the Bronze to Other Tv and Film. I will do the same for the new Buffyverse tv and film board. Thnx for letting me mod in those areas.

Oh okay.
Well is there a HIMYM thread already?? Does that show get enough discussion to warrant it's own board??
