I was thinking just one thread of us just talking since that seems to be working just fine in the chatterbox.

yeah, we had that thread before that Lilithia had started... "OC Talk" or something? That was neat, but didn't really end up going into any discussion.
Edit~ Uuuuhh, name. Um. Maybe just "Character Stories"?

Yeah, I remember that but we didn't really go indepth about the characters. And with the storytelling thread you can include stories about your avatars and whatnot (I don't really consider avatar-based characters as OCs but that may just be me and it doesn't make them any less interesting.)
I've gotta go get my Geisha fix but hopefully we can get some more input by the time Raesha or I come online again.
Edited because I said whatnot twice and it bugged me >>; *OCD*

Anetra_Pendragon The problem is that as soon as you name something "rants", you are inviting in a whole darker side to the word, and practically welcoming the flames. Regardless of what your intent may have been, in my experience, under no circumstances should you ever label a forum as being for rants and expect constructive conversation out of it. Point taken regarding the name, but I don't think something called a "rant" is completely unmanageable, either - I've been a moderator of forums, as well, and any thread that was ever called a rant was managed. It just took a bit of patience and time and the agreement of members to abide the guidelines (mostly the last thing). Having said that, considering the nature of the art world around here and judging from responses, people would rather prefer not to, and that's fair enough (:

OGAWG I made the thread. Any suggestions for a better thread name? I edited it a bit. whee Better? As for a rant thread...I'm leary. It could work, but at the same time, leaves so much room for abuse and flame wars. sweatdrop I'll have to put some thought into how we could set it up to remain civil. Debates can be fun, but so easily go sour. Yes, the MAE will be making a return. It was just entirely too much work for me before, but I've come up with a slight change that will alleviate a lot of the work on my end. As for why it's not back yet....plain and simple, I'm lazy. gonk It's still going to be a fair ammount of work to run and so I've been putting it off...and putting it off...and putting it off. xp Now I've got a couple of helpers with access to OGAWG though so hopefully it'll be up and running again soon. 3nodding The quiz/contest idea sounds good but needs some fleshing out. :3 I would also love to set up a couple game threads if anyone has any ideas. :3

Homigoshu, long time I haven't come to visit!
I was thinking, like in other forums, why not to make a subforum for 'houses'. Yes, everyone could get his own thread, and make it his/her OGAWG home. Dunno... I like how it works in other guilds (Though, I had never had enough time for setting up mine, just thougth it would be a good idea x3 )
I agree with LD on the monthly theme for the MAE. From 'halloween' and 'Valentine' to '', 'has anybody seen my pants?' themes... rolleyes xp
What about an Exquisite Corpse Drawing? Maybe one pic of all the members of the guild, with each of us painted by ourselves...
Some random out-of-boredom ideas... xP

)X I still have problems to express in English. *goes read a dictionary* x_X
Woo, quick reply
Yep. I mean, you'll have your own topic: "Raesha's uberfantabulous home" or however it's called, and in that topic you put all kind of stuff you want. Your favorite pieces, your shop for OGAWG members, your OC's stories, whatever. And people would go there if they want to talk to you. Making it your own space.

I like the idea of the minishop subforum...we sell art in our own R&C. XD Mini R&C!
I think there needs to be a more specific dividing of "show off your art", one for writing, one for drawing, maybe another for craft, photography? & we can also have seperate competitions within the guild to aim for a particular topic?
Maybe we can have a carnival or something too?
I also like the journal/hangout idea. biggrin
What else is there...o____o;;
A recommendation thread, if you commissioned an artist & got good reviews, post about their service there. biggrin [like suggesting to others - not exactly an advertising thing...]
I think I'd like to randomly see a cosplay thread... XD Talk about cosplays & stuff, has anyone cosplayed their own avatar or OC?
What else is there...? Guild mini auctions?
Oh & a story...!! A story to come in & read in the guild & every week there's an update & people vote two different choices of what they'd like to see happen next. biggrin [I'd love to do this. XD] & we can create the characters together, it could be one big project. biggrin
Can also have a seperate story thread, like we all take turns to write what happens next. biggrin

Quick reply before I head to bed: I think the personal space thing is a little much. If we have personal "homes" for our character information, what do we need the thread fro? Likewise with picture posting. I'm sure people would still use the other threads but I dunno, I think gaia as a whole gives us enough places that are ours (journal, extended profiles, houses) It might also lead to rantfests and exclusion.

hm....Lili, if you won't mind borrowing your idea....maybe mahe occasional events like they were in Lilithia Hotel? I loved them, but it were ages since the last one happened...? Like....everybody talked, there were themed minishop boothes only for this particular events, special themed chat threads and games and stuff....but ikt's for Lili to decide since it was her idea at the beginning^^;

I agree with Mek. Don't make things too big or complicated ^_^;; We don't need recreations of every Gaia forum inside OGAWG.
