[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 272076, member: 168"] Morrus, Keep the name, many of us who have hung out here forever like it. Change causes stress. Look at how many comments about "I don't like where we are headed" occured after the Eric to Morrus switch. We don't see those anymore - they were a symptom of changed forced onto a large community. Colors - I like them but I like others. Layout - yup, it needs fixing. When I sent you the e-mail the other day I had to look for 30 min to find all of the links to my site. I saw some stuff last night on inline frames, it migh help with the clutter. One of the web page guru may be able to help you out. I cant find a link to the site. Fly-out menus (I hate them) may be the way to go. Attiude - I like what you did with the KoK review a few months ago. It was much more personal. Editorials - These sound really spiffy. Remember that you can have guest editorials. You have allot on you plate. You might consider some helpers. Basically add yet another e-mail address. This one for scoops/front page info only! Then on some designated days other folks can check the e-mail and post the scoops for you. I know you have enough people around that you can trust not to monkey with stuff. That would free up some of your time and allow you to work on things you like. Start the "COOL COMMUNITY NEWS" Do profiles on some story hours, talk to webmasters of other sites, several of us are having kids soon - make a "WHO IS MAKING NEW GAMERS" page. This gets you back to the community. Have a celeberity pick of the week - "Monte Cook of MHP is really looking foward to the new Dinotopia d20 rules." Just a blurp - nothing more. Enough to catch peoples attention and have them investigate a product they may not have thought about. These aren't things to create more work for you - while you may not feel like it, this sounds like burnout to me - these are things that might get you jazzed and into a FAN mode. Some of the ideas prior to my post are really good - The whole professional reviewer thing is not. Not many people who are professional d20 publishers were involved in the decisions used to "certify" their credentials. Orcus was not sitting at that table, but we all know he is a professional. PKitty probably had as much input as anyone not working for WotC, but he just recently attained freelancer status. That neither gives more or less weight to their opinions. Your reviews do a stellar job - I don't always agree with them but I understand their opinions. If you wanted to have reviews by Nitchick - I would love that. Most other professionals need to worry about bridges and future employment. Always keep in mind that you have a stellar list of people you can bank on. Many will say they will step forward that will not, but time and time again I have seen ENworlders step up to the plate when it counted. [/QUOTE]
