If we go along with the whole color schemes idea, I wouldn't mind making some headers for you guys so they can all match the desired theme. Seriously, if you want a good header that can go with other characters, I'm your man.

Why not take the Spriting contests to the General Pokemon forum? It seriously has nothing to do with Soul Silver at all.

How about we just let them be and if they feel like migrating to this forum or the Heart Gold forum, they just do so if they please. I mean, I don't see why you should migrate them here. If they like doing their Spriting Contests in the Pearl forums, let them be.

Yeah, I don't get where you're getting at DA, this'll happen naturally later on in the forum's life. So why even bring it up?
Also, I kinda want to do a "Who's that Pokemon?" game thread, but with pictures.

Also, I kinda want to do a "Who's that Pokemon?" game thread, but with pictures.  If you want to, go ahead. However, depending on how it goes (like if people are just posting one word answers and such), I might have to delete it at the end (like a General Discussion). ^-^ That might be a problem though, I really hope you don't mind. Thing is, since it's based on pictures, one worded answers are bound to show up no matter how you look at it. But I'll put a limit to "One guess per 24" hours or something. quote Dark Arcanine
A "Who's that Pokemon?" thread with pictures sounds interesting, as in the past they've just been word based and nothing more as far my memory serves. Having said that, I imagine we're looking at something more intricate than a simple black out?
Definitely, the difficulty of the game will increase over time.

It's a guessing game Sakura, I don't think it can be more constructive than that. I mean, at first it'll be easy, so one worded answers are a given, but later on, when the challenge gets harder, people will be stumped and they'll definitely have some sort of discussion among themselves to guess the Pokemon.

The reason they're too bright is because they're in a light background. As long as Lindsey changes that, we should be fine.

The theme looks neat!!!'
But I was thinking, Lindsey, you think you can do one of them color faders for the links? Like when you hover over it it changes from the blue and then so some other color and then fades back? I think it'll look awesome in this forum. Never know. =o

re: Requests, Feedback, and Suggestions

Dark Arcanine, I hate to break it to you, but that won't stop people from making release date threads. I don't know if you were here, but back when the Complains and Reports forum was public and you could technically report just about anyone, there was one MAJOR rule. If you weren't involved, you shouldn't post. Unfortunately, no one followed that rule. So instead, they did what they thought was best, to put the rule in some BIG HUGE RED font on top of the forum as the header. And still, people, some how missed that rule. Though it caused some serious raging to some of our Supermods at the time and led to the privacy of the forum, it was quite fun to watch and read.
Now, if we go to the Moderator Requests era, which I think you may have been there at the time, same concept. People were supposed to read the FAQ in the thread so they'd know what to do, and it had EVERYTHING on there. I mean everything, and people still managed to ask the most basic questions, and they were answered there, they continued to ask if they got the spot (when it said not to), and they also asked when the applications would be open (when the faq clearly answered that). So, they did the same thing as I mentioned earlier, and people STILL managed to ask the same stupid questions and PM the Supers and everything. The whole process was then dropped for what we have today, where the Supers only select a Moderator if a forum needs one.
It's an option, but it's not going to stop the dumb threads asking when the game will be out, it's just something that people will end up asking even if we put the information on top of the forum. Hell, I bet that even if we put Spring 2010 there, we'd get threads like "What month of Spring?" or "Are you guys sure?".

No one is wasting their time answering these threads, because if they were, they'd might as well log off and go outside. We're also not putting words in your mouth at all, and no one in here said anything remotely to "forbidden" except Sakura, and that's probably because there was a lack for a better term.
You've only made three suggestions, how can you get frustrated about us "bumping off" your ideas when 2 of them are completely optional and hardly worth mentioning at the current state of the forum, and the third, was just an invitation for you to help with the forum coding for the Theme. You make it seem like you've made about 20 suggestions, and we're just telling you no half the time. Quit exaggerating.
Look, instead of focusing on something so trivial, so small, why not broaden up that suggestion, like say, a Header Competition? This way, your hotshot idea can actually be put into consideration because now Sakura will be forced to update the Header. See where I'm getting at? Hell, if you even run this thing, you can put to add the expected release date as a guideline.
With that in mind, let's have a Header Contest, I'd love to run it. It can spike up some activity. It can even pass the time, and since now we have more artwork, Graphics Designers will have something better to work with.

Have you actually thought about that it actually brings activity to the forum? Probably even get some new people to join, or get to know each other. Putting up the temporary US Release Date on the Header doesn't do that.

Not really, it's just an activity that was bound to happen because some people from the other Pokemon forums migrated here.

quote Relmutsie AN
However, there's one thing I don't get. You make it sound as though putting the release date in the header is going to drive people away.
I never said that nor even implied it. You must've been misreading my posts. What I was saying was, that even if we put a release date on the header, people would still insist on making a thread a bout the release date, asking when it's coming out. quoteTrue, if people come here just to ask when it's released and just see it in the header, they aren't going to post. Obviously, but you seem to miss the point. When a new member comes here, and visits a forum, the last thing they'll look at is, stuff on the header, the rules of the forum, or even small guidelines the Moderator has put up, updates, anything that seems slightly important. The reason they do this is because it's not on their best interest. If a newcomer wants to ask a question, the first thing that'll come to mind is finding the "Create Thread" link and post away. The last thing on their minds is the details and vital information that the first page of the forum holds. Only way this won't happen is if, while they're scrolling down to get to the Create Thread link, they actually manage to see a thread that's similar to their interest. Otherwise, they'll post away. quoteBut I'm going to assume that when you say the forum needs activity, you mean regular activity; 5 threads per week about the same thing, isn't activity. I just don't understand why it's such a bad thing.
As far as I'm aware, with the forum at it's current state, that is activity. And no one has said it was a bad thing at all.

Clans sound fun, but they're unnecessary. If people really want to meet up, you can use the PM system or maybe the On-Topic GD. Though, it sounds fine, I just think people didn't like them for the abuse of massive spamming. I posted in one of them before, and god, they posted fast. It's like, that's all they did. =x
Try, the baby blue, to silver, and back to baby blue. :3
Edit: By the way, sorry for not starting the Header Contest or the Who's that Pokemon? Game Thread, I haven't been feeling well. Been sleeping a lot lately, and I feel like I'm lacking energy half the time.

Without clans; this forum will have less people... =P
Platinum diddn't have clans and it's real active and new people come in everyday. Compare that activity with the Diamond forums... The only reason Diamond has that kind of activity is because you have a bunch of little kids going post happy. Imagine if they found that Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver had Clan forums too. They're posting habits would increase, since that's all they do.
Unfortunately, we can't discuss this properly here, because this decision will most likely be based on a Moderator Level.

Ok, well before I start the contest, which I now have time for, what are you guys considering? Are you guys going to put multiple themes for the forum or are we just going to have one theme to base the Header for?

That too ^ lol. The SSBB Crews have 3 mods IIRC 3 may be a bit much here it may not, but 2 is definitely something to consider. I know Q has a hard time trying to run the forum, and she's too stubborn to ask for help, thus she isnt getting the job done as well as it could be done. SO 2 mods at a minimum would really have a strong start.
Wait, what? 
I have had countless MSN convos with her and she usually tells me how she definitely needs someone to help her out with the clans, but doesn't know who to pick because there's no good candidate. I don't blame her for thinking like that because most of you are little immature kids.
The clans forum does not need two mods, to run properly. That's not the only thing that it needs, it needs a good stable community, without one, the Clans won't work. What do I mean by stable? I mainly mean one that doesn't involve a bunch of little kids. It's quite obvious why the Clans work in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Forums but not in the Pokemon forums, it's because the target audience is completely different.

Because the mods dont earn it.
Just because you are a Moderator doesnt automatically qualify you for the respect of your members.
So basically, you guys are a bunch of little tools where you won't respect anyone until you get what you want. I don't see how that's a good idea.
If you guys can't even respect the authority of a moderator, I don't see why you guys should be given any respect to your wish of a clan sub-forum.

When did Sakura post?  I miss Sakura.
OMZ, you're fighting a battle that you cannot win. Not to mention that you're arguing with a very known and respected moderator, Avalith. I know some of you may not like him, but regardless of that, you can't help but notice that he knows what his talking about. I think if I were Red, I value Avalith's opinion more than anyone else in here clearly because he's been moderating for quite some time. Hell, he was moderating when I joined from what I remember.
If you and your little friends want to have a little clan forum, then go to some free forum website, create your forums, and spam away. It's the exact same thing, except it's not on Neoseeker. If you believe they will work, then you should be the Moderator there, and you can because you can create it. So there's hardly a downside there.
