Hey guys! I just have a quick question for you all! I'd really like to know what you all think of my board. Is it too much? Would you join it? If yes, why? If no, why. What should we change? What should we keep? Be brutally honest! Tell me what you really think! I need some feed back, but make sure it's constructive. :D
I wasn't sure where to ask this so I thought it should go here. <.< Actually maybe it should have gone into Roleplay talk....

omg, i <3 that board. seriously, i've been stalking it for a week or so, now. i REALLY want to join but i'm just so busy, i don't have the time but i plan on doing so just as soon as i can.
i like the idea and the look and all. the only thing i wasn't too crazy about was the insane amount of graphics but that's just because i used to have dial up so it might not be the greatest thing for some of your users. even with my wireless, it took some time to load a few of the pages. it's nice to see boards that aren't overly populated with the most popular white celebrities and, while i'm not a huge fan of the jpop scene and all that it includes, i think setting the board in japan was a nice idea, too.

Really!?!? lol! That's great! We would love to have you! You should definitely join as soon as you can! We are planning on doing a lot of things on it. Yeah, we did kind of go overboard with some of the graphics. We just had so many ideas that we wanted to have on the board to make it look really nice, but different from the other boards out now. We really want to keep this one around because it is unique and we all put so much effort into it. lol the jpop scene. I'm not familiar with it at all really, but it seems like all of our members seem to want to play an asian face. You don't have to play an asian face, but it is a fun alternative to the usual myspace queens and kings, and celebrities we see all the time. :] Thank you SO much for your feed back! We'd love some more from other people!

The skin is really pretty I like it a lot along with the symbols, beautiful coloring. Did you make it or did you find it?
xprincessgwenythx - July 23, 2008 06:22 PM (GMT)
We found the original skin, and then we made the background for it, and added the characters and things. The forum markers we made, just the base skin is the only thing on the site we didn't make.

I really like it.
And I hate RL roleplays. So that's saying something.

O_o
Holy crap, that's cool looking. I would join it, however I'm not really into that sort of genre (Japan, I mean). However, I know a lot of people who would be interested!
I really like how you've set it up, the organization of it is really neat, and the graphics are awesome! I like the Polaroids for the staff - that's really awesome.
My only advice is to add padding to your logostrip. The banner is too thin for your forum's width size. If you add padding to the top and the bottom, it will make it look more even :) I think you should also get rid of your default markers, buttons, smilies, folders, etc., and replace them with some Asian-looking things.
All in all, I really like it! (and like w/Clipsed, that says something)
Good luck with it!

This site is beautiful and very appealing. It's great to look at, I love it!
xprincessgwenythx - July 23, 2008 10:55 PM (GMT)
Thank you so much! We all have worked very hard on it! I am glad to hear that our work seems to have paid off!

Edited out the link (sorry, they're not allowed ^^;; ) but people can still just look at the signature. ;D Also moving to Managing Your RPG. I think it fits in more there!
Pretty site!

Oops. I didn't see that. Puppeteer moved it to Roleplay Talk. I thought that was where it was supposed to be.
Thank you though!

It looks great! I'm not a real-life RP fan but, I've got to say, I was quite compelled to lurk for a while and poke my nose around. I've never seen a movie in a plot thread before O_O
That was the only thing I found confusing, mind you. I sort of clued into the fact that it's a boarding school RP, but the lack of story had me a little turned off to begin with. But I guess that's why I play fantasy and not RL lol. The canons seem to make up for the lack of plot -- it looks as though you put a lot of work into their conception and making each an individual.
I like it, especially setting it in Japan (always had an affinity for the country).

We've never had a video plot before. It was a different idea :) I'm glad that you like the canons! We weren't going to have them really that developed, but it ended up being a good idea. Thank you!!
