If any of you notice I have created new forums to keep discussions in line with the new series. There will be a classics and 2011 discussion. I am in the process of moving threads to their respective forums but will need everyones help to sort through the different forums and move them to their respective places.
If you guys have any ideas for the forums please dont hesitate to post them in a new thread or even here. Thanks for your help guys
That way the new fans who may only be interested in the new series will have all of those sub-forums together, and vice versa. And it would make the forums look bigger, better, and most importantly more organized.
Very good point Manny. I was thinking long term, when the new series has kicked off and we potentially see an influx of younger fans who have never heard of ThunderCats until 2011. We could see posting in the cartoon and toys subforums of the '11 series pass the original series quickly.
One other suggestion is to make this forum more kid-friendly before the potential influx of new, young fans… Consider ways to hide the two subforms that are more adult-oriented from youngsters. When not logged in, you can see that there is a mature fan-fiction section and the great void. I don’t know how you have the permissions set up, but when I registered I gained access to both without asking. I’m not against keeping those forums, I’m just thinking ahead to when (responsible) parents of kids look here to see if they want their child to be able to visit our site, and they may get the wrong idea based on those two areas.
That’s all the ideas I have currently. I moved several threads about the new cartoon to its subforum. I think I made it to page 5, around June 6th (I think).
i think what he meant was to have something like a dividing bar such as the one that says ThunderCats Forums but instead it could say something like 1985 ThunderCats Forums and another dividing bar saying 2011 Thundercats Forums. They will all be visible from the main page and would not be a sub-forum like what the collector’s showcase used to be
Ive been breaking my brain on how to do that and cant remember how to do it. Can you work that out Manny?
Thanks
Merged Post:
We do have registering permissions set so that no one under 13 can join but of course that can be overlooked. Originally i had set those areas to be protected but i guess someway along the line the permissions were changed
By teh way i added a pssword to the mature forums. Password is beyondsight
Hey Manny, I hope you don’t mind that I moved the statue/staction threads back to the classic toy forums. These particular products are based on the original series, so they should be in the classic toys/collectibles forums
The showcase could be tricky. Where do we envision collections to end up that are a mix of LJN and Bandai? The good news is that we have until at least July to think about that.
As for the Bandai Classics, I’m torn on that. It is based on the '85 series and belongs there, but it is being made in conjunction with the '11 series and a lot of the news and info will be intertwined, so it belongs with the rest of the '11 figure news. That means it belongs in both places and at the same time in neither. I just gave myself a headache thinking that through.
P.S. The way the '85 and '11 series are split up now is what I meant previously, sorry for the confusion.
