RenegadeRoss 19,926 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Alright, i hardly see the admin on really, cause they have busy lifes, so again, im taking this upon myself to creat this thread, and it'll be stickied at the top of the page. People lately seem to not be enjoying the forums as much, while others are finding nothing wrong with it. So with that in mind, Id like to know what people dislike about the forum, and what would make it better/different for them? What do you think could improve the forum? Do you have any ideas? What i think would be good, would be some sort of competition, i could ask the Admin, or we could do one ourselves with the mods, say we could have a european winner and an american/canadian winner for other that side of the pond i know we have people from say austrailia, but these are the two places the majority of people come from, Like, we could have a competion to win a paramore shirt, or some other kind of merchandise, orr...win a poster.. or something like that? Thoughts? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RenegadeRoss 19,926 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 I was thinking that. How do people feel about a competion where you win like.. say a paramore goody bag? With a shirt, poster, badges and other stuff in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ross 66,448 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 So you're going to pay for two goody bags PLUS trans-Atlantic shipping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwik-silva 32,318 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 So you're going to pay for two goody bags PLUS trans-Atlantic shipping? Yeah.. Ross 2.0 makes a good point, it would cost you a small fortune.. maybe have one of the mods in US pay for theirs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenegadeRoss 19,926 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 That was my intention Id do the european one and a mod in america does that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RenegadeRoss 19,926 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Alrighty. Well i'll speak to a mod from america, and see if anyone is willing to do this for over there, I was thinking of a competion where you have to write a paragraph which includes the name of at least 5 paramore songs and the best one from each side of the planet gets the prize i.e "My heart was really sore earlier thinking about Sarah, but i guess thats what you get when your in love eh? im feeling so much pressure on the inside though but i know i have brighter days ahead as for a pressimist, im pretty optimistic and im never going to let this go." Something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le Venin 54,374 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 I love that idea, and you're awesome if you want to pay for that, and i like your idea about the paragraph with the names, but in my opinion; I think people should put a little more effort in it if they want to win that, to me, it should be something where they have to put more time in it. But that's just me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwik-silva 32,318 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah, Demi's idea does make sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laura.RIOT! 16,316 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 i totally like the competition idea, as a writer myself i'd totally enjoy doing that, plus it'd be totally something to look forward to and a way to interact with more people on here, maybe to get opinions and stuff. and ross, that'd be so awesome of you to pay for the stuff, although i'd feel bad myself cause if it costs a lot then well yanno...its expensive haha. but that'll still be awesome of you i dont really have any ideas but just a personal opinion that like, if people were to make new threads that arent actually pointless and worth talking about, then why should people come in and say they dont like the idea and totally just shun it? if you dont like it, then dont come in it and blast all over it, it just puts the mood in a downer. which is why ive never made new threads about stuff because people dont seem to even bother posting in it, so why should i waste my time? isnt this a forum? arent we meant to make friends and talk amongst each other, no? thats just what i think anyway. if i have any actual ideas i'll sure contribute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valid point! i never thought of that, Certainly we would get the admin to pick the winner, i would simply send the admin all the entries, with no user names, and then the winner can get chosen based on their entry alone! the admin dont really know anyone on here personally anyway, so thats easy enough to sort out too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
