THE NEW ZELARON PORTAL! (No, it's not launched yet, but we need YOUR ideas! Now!)

1: Why do you come to Zelaron? 2: What do you perceive Zelaron as? (A gaming forum? A place to hang out with online friends?) 3: What "unique" needs should we cover, to make others come here?

1. I come to zelaron because its a forum that i have actually managed to become a part of - not saying you all know me or like me but, it has a wide variety of people with more then just general knowledge. alot of you have many answers to questions, and can give descriptive answers as well.

2. I always saw this as a gaming forum, solely because those tend to be the threads i troll. i tend to not venture much out of my comfort zone, however lately ive been posting in just about every thread.

3. i think you should dedicate yourself to 1 idea, be it gaming, friends, welcome parties. However if you do choose to do it all, you cant ever lax in 1 area, then it slowly turns into nothingness - cough diablo 2 hacking. There are some great programmers on here, but - why hasnt anyone programed a dupe for me on d2 yet?!

Recommendations : I think there should be some exclusive content to veteran zelaron members. Titles for reaching x amount of posts. Perhaps blogging? Keep up to date with the games comming out, information about news, gaming, and the science half of life.

Most of the last part of that description is already here, i think it just needs more posters, and a bigger community.

i bumped a 2 month old sticky!

1 i come to zel because my life is boring

2 i think zel is a place were you can talk about anything

3 i think you should advertise on other sites for more people
get more games
more ranks like kazilla said
and last but not least have more themes for zel

the one ranking system by forum posts i found was on www.crossingtyria.com when you reach 1000 posts you get the Discple of Dwayna (its a guild wars website) title, if you contributed to something on the site you get the contributor tag. i had mine before i got banned for bored and useless posts

how about an area were if your this or above you can see and post in it

I thought of something that i havent noticed about zelaron. when you type www.zelaron.com it brings you straight to the forums, which leaves a ton of space to play with. Most every single other webpage brings to a home page where you must navigate your way to the forums.

My idea is this, if we made a home page we could ideally become 'fan sites' or have a complete library of information at our members disposal - for instance.

Warhammer Online is due out september 18th (without official forums). There are requirements to become a fansite - you need so much of x with a mixture of y. So say you built a homepage that had a WarhammerOnline Link, which brought you to the warhammer fansite - tons of information there, everything anyone could think of. If something wasnt posted they could look it up and edit it, almost like a wiki with restrictions of course (or not). Warhammer fans will be looking for that site that is easy to navigate has a great community and tons of information. I think this is prime meat for zelaron. All the forum links could come back here, introducing the Warhammer community to everything else zelaron has to offer.

Guildwars as well doesnt have any offical forums, althought currently the GuildWars community on zelaron is dead, if we were to create something that felt significant to them. I think it might change.

WoW forums are full of asshat trolls, and the elitestjerkoffs that spawn from top raiding guilds and arena teams. World of Warcraft forums is a popularity contest, if you are a nobody dont post. This could be a nice alternative to that.

Big console games are comming out in the very near future. We have the respective forums for those, but maybe tweak it a bit to appeal to more people.

Allowing zelaron members to contribute to the cause is imo the ideal way of brining more to this community, writing guides, strategies, builds, and walkthroughs. It is all very excillerating to some poeople.
