[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 269503, member: 1"] Sure, I'll try and clarify a little more. There are two groups that I intend to benefit from this redesign: myself (as the person who has to administrate everything) and the visitors (as the people who use everything). Now, I know what will benefit me personally - and that's prretty much outlined above. In addition, I'm just a little bored with the current way things are and would like to freshen the place up. The second part - what would benefit the users - is more the purpose of this thread. What benefits me may not be what benefits them. Or the visitors could have a desire for a different structure that I could accomodate fairly easily. So, this is an information gathering exercise. I'm not saying that everything that gets suggests will get done (hell, I have to say that I hate that "3EN World" idea - no offence!). Some of the suggestions may be too extravagant or beyond my capability, in which case they won't be done. But other suggestions will be within the realms of possibility - or may start a line of thinking in a new direction. Re. the comments on other people doing stuff. The bulk of the work will, as always, fall on me. And that's fine by me - it's my site, my responsibility. Occasionally people do chip in with something small - a logo or graphic;and that's cool too - it's what makes this such a cool community because people care enough to do that. But other than the occsional little thing, everything has to be within my capabilities. General thematic or organisation redesign is well within my capabilities; massive database systems or interactive graphics are not. Re. renaming. That is less important to me than the redesign; however, I figured that if there was a time to do it, it should be at the same time as the redesign. I'm never going to use flowery names like"RPG Dungeon". The title of Eric's old site was to my taste (in a utility sense) although I personally considered it too long and clumsy. But it served the function of telling you exactly what the site was, which is the approach I prefer with a site name. [/QUOTE]
