Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. Affiliates may be good - although, that one I feel is up to Garland in the end since it is his guild =]

2. My advertisement is in my signature. I just equipped a link to this guild on it, but it doesn't have the guild's name in particular. I agree that it would be near to have pre-made advertisements. There was a banner contest in one of the sub-forums that I don't think anyone entered. I would if I had the right programs for it. Perhaps you can check that out?

3. Contests were something I suppose the crew felt we should have once in a while since we don't want to steer away from the main idea of God's word.

4. We did have a Chatterbox sub-forum at one point, and by request and approval we moved it all to the main area where it was easier to access. The used to be Chatterbox sub-forum was in the spot of the "Sermon" sub-forum now. So, our technical Chatterbox exists, it's the main forum =]

5. Since I don't handle the announcements, I can't necessarily answer to this one. It'll all be up to Garland =] he's usually good about responding to suggestions fairly quickly.

Feed back is awesome. Thank you very much for taking the time to write us. smile

1. Hmm. Affiliates... I haven't considered this. That would be an excellent idea!

2. I have attempted making a banner contest, but it was not very successful.
There doesn't seem to be a large number of people who visit the guild daily or even monthly, at least not large enough for a contest. The contest is still running by the way. smile

Banner Contest

3. musasgal made a thread about this, but there was little response.
Hopefully as the guild grows there will be more daily visits allowing us to have
contests that are Bible related. I am sure the moderators would agree with me it is not so fun to plan events or contests if no one participates.

Contests: good idea or bad?


4. Aquatic_blue addressed this. ^^


5. It is my hope that in the future when time permits I'll be able to do this. I am currently posting the Bible in its entirety, verse by verse. Starting with Genesis, and hopefully ending up in Revelations. It is going to take a while due to character limitations in the announcement; 1500 Characters and one announcement per day. We do have an excellent sub forum for this particular use though, and we would be more than happy to assist with whatever questions come our way.

Interpretation of Scripture

don't you think a chatterbox sub-forum would be more about topics that are NOT related to the Bible generally in people's minds? To me, the main forum page is more of a general discussion than a chatterbox area.

I think it would be nice to have a true chatterbox where we can talk about things with other Christians that aren't specifically about the Bible though, but if that just isn't what you want this guild to have than no.
