Many people actuallycan't stand RP boards, which is why I said 'if we dare'. Especially on something like this where you can get loads of people excited and posting etc, but one lines and stuff, and several rps are made a day etc. Then the excitment suddenly drops as youve got loads of dead ones.
Still if we have a couple of experianced people monitering it and helping out it may be okay. Hopefully, because yeah I love rping...
Also something else - sticky some of the guide threads, so people can always fine them. and.or make a seperate guide threads sub forum, and sticky the good ones etc

Ok I have a new idea for the site... If somebody made... lets say a guide and they wanted to add a new section to the guide, but didn't want it on like page 4... Could you make is so the creator of the thread could post inbetween other posts or something?

Hmm I don't know if thats possible. Not on proboards at least. The only thing would be to edit, or 'reserve' spots. Of course it may be possible and I'm just wrong...

Ya, well we can fit 60,000 characters onto something and I'm sure it will take a while to fill it!

If you're referring to the first part of the post, then yes. Stories and stuff, as you put it. If you're referring to the RP part, then no, no exactly. RP is short for "roleplay". Basically, people take turns writing part of an adventure. Usually, each separate person has a character that they're playing as. That section is now up! go write some stories

There are a few things that come to mind for making the site a bit stronger.
Not certain whether the rules and regulations were posted yet, but due to some of the recent forum activity, that should be posted and emphasized promptly.
Another nice new addition would be a news feed, perhaps a marquee at the top of the screen? I don't know whether or not that's within the limitations of proboards, however.
A direct link somewhere in the main page layout to Sam's blog, plus some more interconnectivity between the blog and this forum would be much appreciated, such as featuring posts and polls from Sam's blog in the official site section [u[(which should be moved to the top of the page)[/u].
Another addition would be a "hacking" section, featuring an achievements, general hacking discussion, and tutorial subforum, somewhere near the bottom of the page to seperate the hacking community from the regular gaming community so that these frustrating flame threads don't spring up any more. They should be closed promptly and the people who posted in them given a verbal warning.
I have a few more ideas, including a "suggestion of the week" thread/poll, where the top three suggestions from each week are sent in to Sam for his consideration; feedback of which one among the three he chooses would be nice, especially if he had the time to post about it himself.
Another thing I think would be great is if PTD was hosted on its own webspace, once it got bigger. A webspace featuring this forum, a working online pokedex that updates as the game updates, and a username/password system. If the game got that far into development, a newsletter would be a fabulous addition.
Thoughts, comments?

I see. Now I understand. Sam's involvement is what counts for a large portion of this. I don't understand who the "Big boys" are who wouldn't want this game around, besides Nintendo or Game Freak, but Sam isn't making money off of it, lol, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? Anyway, yeah, I believe cleaning up the forums and making them look much nicer would be a great starting point. Also, here's an example of what I mean by a scrolling marquee. I used to use it as a news feed on my own forum, a while ago. You're right, regarding the hacking tutorials. Good idea. As for how you approached replying to me: No, you didn't come off rude or anything like that. Actually, you explained yourself pretty well, pretty concisely. I appreciate that more than you know!

Whenever I want to look at the title of a thread, the blue covers up the text and hurts my eyes.
Also: Can you change my name to "SlashStarEX", I wasn't paying attention when I typed it in,

Awesome, I'm glad for the new Lit section, but.. Is there somewhere we can post non-Pokémon stuff? Or should I just post it in the PokéLit forum?

Non-pokemon literature? I'm thinking the site is straying pretty far from what it should be as it is so I don't know... Yeah, I guess.. Though most forums I've been on usually have a pretty wide range of general boards, no matter how topic-specific they are. I find it adds more to the community, as it appeals to their other interests, as well as the main topic of discussion. But alright, that's fine. I can see where you're coming from.

maybe costume your own person. Then you could buy stuff for the person in the market.

You Could Try To Add The Game Here for us to play. Tell Me if it could happen.

I'd request a Bug/Glitch-report forum board That would make it more organized for everyone And Sam could check there too for them.
