What things about the guild specifically (not the events) would you like and update/change on? What don't you understand? What irks you? Let us know here.
PS: I'm going to attempt changing this poll every month, so keep your eyes peeled!

Alright! So, I know that this is my first day of being in the guild (so I hope I'm not stepping out of my boundaries) but I have a few suggestions for the guild that I think would help make it a better place for everyone.
- First thing I noticed is a need for organization. Here's what I recommend: Each event in the heading should have an expecting amount of time to do it in. Like [2 weeks] from now or however many weeks/months until the event will happen (once an official date is figured out, you should replace that with the expected day). Also, in the main post for every event it should say... What the event is, what you need to do to participate (like buy an outfit), maybe have a few different outfits already planned (like a cheap one for ppl who dont have much gold), the place it's going to take place, and the time/day that is best for everyone (I'll expand on this in a min). So with having these in your posts this'll hopefully limit questions and confusion. Also, make sure to put these things in an easy to read fashion so people can just quickly skim through it.
- I noticed in every event you're trying to see when people will be available and then someone changes their plans and what-not. I think an easy solution to this would be to have a designated thread just for people to post their schedules and the days they'll be offline (like for vacations, etc). And DO NOT let them post it again, just have them edit their original post. This way it's clean and leaves the event forums for just talking/planning for the event rather then running around trying to figure out what day to have it on. Of course, you still may have this issue but I think it'll solve a bit of it.
- BTW, I personally like planning ahead so I'd also recommend planning events 3-4 weeks in advance so it gives people a huge notice.
- I don't know much about this guild yet but always make sure the guild is organized. Any old events are thrown away, all old polls are thrown away, etc. this'll keep people from getting confused and such.
- I also recommend an event soon to advertise for the guild. Maybe advertising week where everyone puts the guild banner in their siggy and invites all their friends that would be interested, etc. Just so we can get more people in here! This guild is incredibly small for such big ideas! So we need to recruit more.
SO, those are my ideas... I didn't mean to offend if I sounded rude or anything. I hope you'll consider implementing my ideas because I think they'll help out the guild. If you're wondering at all, I've ran my own guild before and I've been the Co-Guild Leader in several successful guilds. smile
Thanks for your time and sorry I typed so much! lol
Edit: I also just thought of another idea. I was thinking of a thread that had all the past events posted in it with possibly the link to their planning thread. This way we can renew old events easily and when people are suggesting new events they don't repeat old ones. smile

We've been working on tightening things up, and also advertising for new members. The past event thread could have the screeshots, and a recap. Your input is really appreciated! Dang, no tips in guild forums?

Haha you're very sweet, Raficat! I also like your screen name because it's easy for me to remember.
Anyways, I'll try and advertise some for the guild and I think if we keep the main events as a public event it should draw people in as well. BTW, I already applied to be a crew here but if there's anything I can help you guys with always feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do! smile

Diff, I would really like to see the number of threads decrease...
I come in here 2 or 3 times a day most days, and check everything with a recent response, and it's becoming time consuming!
I think we could combine all eveent threads into one thread - Upcoming Events! This would have a first post of the upcoming event(s) and then people could post questions, comments, times etc in that thread.
Another thread for Past Events - where we can post the latest recap, screenies, comments about an event.
Third thread: Event ideas. For discussion about new ideas, or changes to previous events.
Fourth, Birthday/profiles: First post of birthday list, and then each member post whatever they want to tell us about themself, including time zone, name at other social sites, any personal info they want to share. One post per member!
Fifth: Advertising. Banners, bump threads for the guild.
And let's see, sixth:Rules, Guidelines, Any Questions?: the rules & guidelines in the first posts, and then any questions from members on this topic.
I think that should cover the main forum.
Next, I will look at the subforums
I think we can eliminate the following:
Bump Box & Avatar Attic, Discussion Den can be our CB thread, for random communication between members, Games, duh, keep, lol, Secret Society keep of course. History, hmm, for old threads, I dunno do we need it?
So this would make it a lot easier to keep track of things for al of us.
Thoughts?

On second thought, maybe the event suggestions thread should be a subforum, so there could be individuaol threads for each type of event, like holiday events, flashmob events, etc.
And also, I left out the donation info thread in the main forum, so that would still leave 6 threads in the main.

So then, the Avatar Attic would become the Event planning thread, and the History Hall stickies would move into main forum? Unfortunately, I can't delete subforums, and I bought it like this 'cuz I figured--how many is it? 6 was a good number... as opposed to the 10s of thousands some places have xD
Originally, I had tried to categorize posts into the Towns, zOMG!, Cinemas, etc things, but I just ended up wanting an individual thread or the more concrete ideas planned... I'm not sure... I guess we could try it. confused

But you can delete posts, and change topic headings yes?
So change and clean out and move, and any subs not being used can be emptied and labeled For Later Use...
Is this something I can help with, or only you can do it?

I wanted to get LCS' opinion on it also.
If we were to change the subforums, what would their names be to continue the alliteration?
Let me make sure I have this straight:
Discussion Den-- Bump Box Included
--non-guild related stuff.
Games Garage (or whatever I have it's called)
Secret Society
Togetherness Table:
Upcoming Event!
Planning Stage-- Maybe three reserved posts: Next event, suggested events, something else--then posts for everyone else
Scrapbook--For Historian's posts only?
Welcome, Rules
Birthdays, Profile
Advertising
Feedback, Questions
Donate to Symya, not the guild
Then that's a compromise, because I have the History Hall to keep my snazzy layouts, but the Historian can move it to the Scrapbook and add their images! But there'd be no discussions in it. It'd be locked for only the Historian.

Sorry for not being on yesterday!
I think this all sounds good. I prefer less threads better then more but I also think each event should have it's own specific thread so people can discuss it without getting confused as to which event people are talking about.
Other then that it all sounds very good and organized to me. smile

Alright, well how about if we make a thread for the next event, then delete it either once it's concrete (and put in the Upcoming Event! thread) or once it's over (leaving it up until after the event), but put the layout and all in the Scrapbook thread?

Yes, this willl work fine. I just think it will be less confusing if theres not so many event threads...
