[QUOTE="Blade of Desecration, post: 3177087, member: 27325"] Alright, as a council member, I think I'm the one who should do this (though maybe Cataverie would be better, since he's the one doing most of the work). We need to set up an site layout before we finalize any plans. We want to have a general idea of what kinds of sections we want, how we want to do membership, how family friendly, etc. Something like this. [SIZE=3]I. Council Forum[/SIZE] [B] A. Resolutions B. Site Administration C. Plans For The Future [/B] [SIZE=3]II. Articles[/SIZE] [B]A. Gaming News B. GMing Advice C. House Rules D. Book Reviews E. Specific Games[/B] 1. D&D 2. Shadowrun 3. Etc... [SIZE=3]III. Public Forums[/SIZE] [B] A. My Campaign B. Help Wanted C. PbP D. Article Submissions E. Houserules F. Story Time[/B] 1. Sci-fi 2. Fantasy 3. Etc... [B] G. Etc...[/B] [SIZE=3]IV. GMF Projects[/SIZE] [B]A. Game System[/B] 1. [Various sections like combat, magic, items, etc.] [B] B. Campaign Setting[/B] 1. Geography 2. Races 3. Nations 4. Religion 5. Etc... [B] C. Etc...[/B] [SIZE=3] V. ????????[/SIZE] If anyone has more to add to this basic site layout, tell me now, and I'll add it in. Next point, on a somewhat related note, how are we going to do Mods? What I'd suggest is that, with ideally four sections besides Council, and four council members not including Chaos Evoker, we should each get two sections to patrol (, with Chaos Evoker, as the Founder, getting a kind of God Mod status to be able to patrol all sections. That way, there are three mods per section, which should be plenty. Keep in mind, this is a very simplistic model, as some sections, such as forums, will require much more work than others, and so have Mods for different sub-sections. If I may suggest: Articles: Nightcloak, Blade of Desecration Public Forums: Cataverie, Xen Projects: Cataverie, Blade of Desecration ?: Nightcloak, Xen Another question we'll have to work on is forum rules, but for now, that can wait. One idea to fill out that last section is a random banter forum. They have one over at the GitP site, and it works quite well as a place to relax. One disadvantage that is entirely possible to arise is that that section could unwittingly become the focus of the site. There are a number of options to prevent them, the best which I can think of is having a post number requirement (say, 200) to post on there. Think of it as a "proof of dedication" to make sure some random shmuck doesn't just decide to join and spam out. We need to figure out a plan of recruitment. We have a small, tight-knit community here, and I like that, but we need more members if we want to make this all worth the while. Everyone, actively recruit your local GMs. After that, we need to decide on a plane of attack, one with at least good BAB and at least 2d6+1 1/2 str. damage. This is all a very rough sketch of what I think we need. But this kind of organization does need to get done before we decide to buy a site, so we should get started on it. Do keep in mind that nothing we decide here will be final, as we will have to change and adapt depending on how we grow. Suggestions from everyone are welcome, but I need all of the Council in here and actively posting (and I mean ALL), since we'll be running the damn thing. Now [i]MOVE PEOPLE!!!!!.[/i] [/QUOTE]
