What do you want in the HP Forum?

And everyone, please, enough with the "less idiots" and newbie comments. As I stated in my previous post, there is nothing I can do about that. Seriouisly though, they are new, they don't know how we do things here so they might start a thread that's already in exisitence. That's why I always politly tell them to use the search, which they usually do.

But back to topic, what would you like to see in the HP Forum that interests you and would encourage you to visit more often? I'm hearing stuff about RP's.

I know you just said not to do this, but here is a good suggestion. Ban Springboy.

Well maybe we could Limit ourselves to the Amount of RP threads.

Or you could do what ush does...have them approved by you.

OR

if we get enough people interested, their is a chance that we could try to have a sub forum for hp rpg. it's an idea......and the only one i can think of 😛

true, just a thought

Yeah, I don't want to take away from Ush's boards and what's he's doing. Plus, I don't want to get away from the central purpose of the HP forum. Having everyone just opening a random RPG would be waaay too confusing.

But I was thinking of having something special like a monthly role play for all of us to enjoy in, kind of like what we did with the debates. Each of us are "students" at Hogwarts and each month, we have a brand new adventure. We could have a thread where we talk about ideas and adventures and perhaps vote on them like we did with the debates and hey, I might even have the person who came up with the idea start the thread - just as a way to get you all involved.

But I have a couple of ideas that I'd like to bring up to you all.

[list]
[*]Avatar Thread
A place for members to post Harry Potter avatars they've made for everyone to use. I know I've made so many, I'd be willing to post mine.
[*]Fanart Thread
A place to show off your artistic skills! Create banners, blends, wallpapers etc of your favorite HP Ships, characters, etc.
[*]The Daily Prophet
All of the latest HP news composed in a single thread. I think this would be much more organized.
[/list]

And just to add some more flavor to all of this, we could come up with titles for these threads and after 350 post or so, we could create a new one. For example:

HP Fanart #1: Because we're just that talented
HP Avatar #1: Because the Potter Art is hot these days

What do you think? All opinions are welcomed. 😉

I like all of those ideas. Especially the monthly role-play, that would be particularly fun.

Thats another good idea.

The role-play thing: Go for it. We could have stuff that is themed for that month, like a Halloween party, and a "Spring Fling." That would be good.

Avatar thread: Definitely, since the sig forum is cluttered as it is. Would they have to be a specific size or any size? Could we request? Good idea for the recreational thing. *

Fanart thread: Yes! I'm always looking for new manipulations (blends) etc. Could we request in that thread? Could we have sigs, or just banners? What about banners for HPFF.com/for stories on fan fic sites? Good idea for the recreational thing. *

Daily Prophet: Nice idea. You might have to Recreate that like with the art and icon threads, because if it gets too cluttered people will not want to search through 100 pages of news for something that might not even be there, and then it will get longer and the same thing will happen over and over.

* We'd have to have pretty strict rules in that thread, because of ripping etc.

I agree about the Daily Prophet thread because it can easily turned into a chatting thread and news would get overlooked, though I suppose if everyone got into a habit of checking it regularly.

For the avatar thread, same rules as KMC. 100x100 max, or smaller.

Yes Banners for the Fan art thread would be okay, defainlty. but what's hppf.com? I've never heard of that.

Hey everyone! I thought it would be nice if we all disussed interesting ideas and activities to get the Harry Potter forum really active again! So what do you think we could do to meet this goal? It can be anything, so let's discuss and I'll see what I can. 💃

More cowbell!

Maybe like monthly challenges for individuals, and giving them points. It can be based off their knowledge of HP.

Good ideas. Let's start them as soon as possible
