Suggestions to improve the org

[Zim]

Interesting thread.

1.) Create content.

There are a number of cool content features here at the org, from the social groups to the front page and blogs. Most users have access to these features in some form or another, but it'd be very nice to see a steady stream of content from those who actually maintain the site. No. I don't mean dumping it all on Tosa either, or expecting him to conjure up things on his own. The org has an entire team of moderators. One of them has spare time I assure you.

Example: The CMS (front page) has been a weak spot here for years and almost never gets updates. When i left last year I was happy that it at least appeared someone was going forward in my stead with those updates. Sadly I can see that's not the case. Some real opportunities were missed here with the lead up to S2. I still have access to the Sega PR site and every single day exclusive trailers and screenshots were landing in my inbox. Sometimes weeks before they were hitting most major news sites. I never saw those mentioned here at the .Org either in a thread about S2 or on the front page. The reason I didn't bother to post them here is simple: I didn't care.

Going off the front page example, is that something that people would like? Serious question, I've been here for years and I have to admit barely ever glancing at the front page. I always went straight to the forums

2) Have moderators who actually post in their assigned sections.

I do. Somewhat to my chagrin I post almost exclusively in my section, although I've tried to make more forays elsewhere since becoming a moderator.

3.) Give people a reason to register

Why should anyone join the Org at all? I'll wait while you think of something. No, you're not allowed to say "community".

For me that's easy. The main reason I joined and stayed at the Org would fall under the "community" answer, but there is one other thing. In addition to a healthy hotseat community that I could probably find elsewhere we have the TW Rpgs. I'd never seen anything like them when I joined KotR years ago and I'm not aware of similar games being done elsewhere. I know that might not be what you're looking for but it is something I find here at the Org and not anywhere else. A strong runner up after that would be that the EB team makes their home here, whose mod has provided the vast bulk of my single player tw playing for years.

4.) Update things. For god's sake.

Good point, I should take another look at the stickies in the Throne Room...
