ORG, TWC, and the Official Forum - what would the ORG specialize in?

[Axalon]

Absolutely. I'm not sure if people have really noticed, but the Org has changed more in the past year than it did in the previous five years. We want to keep this place alive, so if you've got actual plans that can be implemented we are eager to hear them.

Ok then... I'll try to write it down somehow...

It assumes that the volunteers at the Org have twaddled their thumbs, refusing to do anything to make the experience better, when things are constantly being looked at and changes are being made, most notably, the Org "brass" itself.

Not necessarily, I think it is a matter of applied perspective. However at this point, we do have bigger fish to worry about then that (I will not deny you that attempts to change somehow has indeed been made - as outlined - and at least in some limited regards I certainly do too believe it is for the better). What truly matters here is that I (and all others) have had a straight answer, both from you and TinCow - loud and clear. Now, I'll act accordingly and somehow post up some ideas for you guys to ponder upon and I will discuss them with you - once I have something "to bring to the table" so to speak.

There are some fantastic support facilities currently deployed and are being deployed for Mod creators,

Such as? I honestly don't have a clue what that exactly means... This could be interesting...

... Vidya-Crowd ...

Help me out here because I don't even have a clue what that means? I can only do wild guesses here. Sorry...

, and other content creation aspects of the TW series which look quite exciting.

Such as? (I'm honestly asking)


Anyways, I'll try to write some stuff down somehow...

I am unfortunately not the best person to go into details as I have been merely "Looking over the shoulder" so to speak. But I believe we are assembling effectively a "Modders Toolbox" of sorts, such as offering File Sharing services. @frogbeastegg is person who should probably speak about this.

I might be using the term incorrectly, but I basically it is Video-Game-Videos. This might be replays, streaming, or even videos about games. Example of where to access this on the forum is here:

Have to tie that into the answer of the first question.

But as a general answer, feel free to bring forward suggestions, from my limited experience behind the scenes (I haven't been a volunteer team member myself that long), if a good idea comes up and it is feasible to implement, then it will most likely occur.

How about changing Thanks to red or something more obvious and perhaps a passionate icon? Or move it to the right so people notice it it while clicking reply.

We'll take another look at the system, see what we can do. I agree that the current system is not perfect.

Another way to encourage people to give thanks is to have a "thanks received" and "thanks given" counter for each member.

We tried that on one of our test versions. A lot of people complained because they felt it was too close to a reputation system.

Sainty contributors who require no thanks or acknowledgement only come once every century.

Precisely. One simple "Thank you!" can mean a lot - there's a reason why it's considered a vital part of polite conversation out in the real world. Too often people's efforts go unrecognised, people don't take the time to post some thanks. The button system was supposed to help counter this by making it possible for people to show appreciation without feeling like spammers.

That one died a slow death due to lack of interest amongst those we hoped would use it.
