A Little Request If Anyone's Interested?
Hello guuuuuuys~!

Yes, your mod has been updating the RP site since like...3 AM. So this part MIGHT come out a little silly. Soooo. I was wondering.

Would anyone be willing to look over what kind of stuff has gone on in the OOC board as well as the important links and everything and be willing to compile some type of organized index?

Like, i'm not asking for anyone to actually DO the index, I can do my best to do the html graph, add all the links, etc. etc. and post it. But I think I could use some help on this.

I want to have a link index where ALL of the useful, interesting links for the site can be perused. (Also, I plan on posting a 'tag request' and 'tag explanation' post so people can learn to use them and why I have them in the game?) Thing is, i'm not sure how to organize them.

Should it be something like a column/row of the most important links, like the rules and such, followed by columns/rows of...say, Members Only threads that people might want to continue interacting in at random (like the photo thread or the Getting to Know You thread), or things like...say, the future 'tag request' and 'tag explanation' threads?

This way there could still be the MOST important links on the side, but there could also be a link index that people could click on for simplicity. Does that make sense?

I was just wondering if anyone would like to help offer me organizational suggestions as far as that goes. I might alter what you suggest a little, but I really would like any and all tidbits of aid on this, for those who are willing. =3

	As I'm out of college at the moment and only have to keep an eye on my grandmother, I'm free to help. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Whoo! Okay, would you be willing to look at the posts/discussions/important threads that people might want to look back on and offer some kind of way I can clump them into groups, so I can form easier lists for people to look through? You don't have to really give me lists of every thread (if there are ones you think should be included that you fear won't be, feel free!) but some kind of suggestion on how many different groups and what to call them, like "The Newcomer Help List" or something would be awesome.

	Sure, I'll do this. I only have to ask what the timeframe is? It might take a day or two to look through everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even if it takes you a week, i'd be happy with any suggestions. <3 The timeframe isn't too important, as long as I can start working on it sometime soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ok, I've looked through all posts in the OOC cummunity.

First of all, I've ignored pretty much all plotting posts, as I think they are not something that needs to be in the index. After all, these posts are not intended for use for all players.

Anyway, here comes the rest:

The In Character Information in the index does not need to be changed, I think. It has anything a chara should need to know. Though I would maybe add the how Charas arrive in game post there.

The following should be added to the OOC Info:
--> the Chronology/Timeline of Events
--> Gathering of Useful Links
--> Tagging Rules (it would be better if this post would be split up so that it only has one topic)
--> Explanation of Journals i.e. Comm System (the info about --> privacy/hacking should probably split from this post and put in the explanations)

The info about game rating and the difference between R and NC-17 should be added to the rules.

This should be under Members Only:

Info needed for the game:
--> Contact Information
--> Tag Requests

Out of game interaction (or some other header that explains it):
--> Out of Curiosity (or the let's get to know you thread)
--> Pictures of the Players"

I'm not sure where to put the two post with the info about parties (About the Party Thread and Info for Party Thread). But they would probably be good to have linked from the rules post.

I hope that helped. If you want me to rewrite the Useful Links post etc. please tell me.

	It helped me pass the time, so I should probably thank you for giving me oppotunity to do it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
