So me and Jay have come up with a great idea to bring our staff together and to make a big decision as a group. What are we doing? Creating a new board layout for sD. The current layout is hard to make post and drive activity and we need to fix it. But where to start?
Here's where my master plan started:
Three of the best Design/Programming forums of all time were: G101, Zamanto Design, and Solid Snake Designs. They were three of the biggest forums and also the best. Their board layout's drove activity so why not use one of their's as a statue to a legend?
Here's where my master plan ran into a bump:
What layout do we use? Which forum? how do we choose? Plus do we really wanna completely steal a whole forum's ideas? I don't! I'd like to keep some originality.
Damn i'm good at resolving issues!:
I love this title
So how do we chose? how do we do something different? How about randomly swaping those three forum's sections around?(lets do math) 3 forums, 3 different sections(Coding, Designing, General), No one forum can have two sections in one selection. I have come up with 6 different combinations for us to chose from.....But how do we chose? how about a Tournament bracket and the staff will vote? I love this idea. 4 staff will vote with a random person serving for a tie breaker (ElseAndrew). This way we wont have too much from a single forum and still a good layout that the staff will have complete power for. All voting will be in separate polls. vote there.
We will also be voting on if we'll keep their board names and descriptions, or do our own, EVERYTHING will be voted on by staff. Keep an eye out for threads and polls!
