Hi all, this may seem a little odd, being my first post and all, but I've had extensive talks with TheBlackWindowNor. After watching my latest TiVo'd episode of Mythbusters, I decided it would be cool to start my own fansite. However, after a quick Google search I discovered that there was one here that was already well established. I decided to contact the Admin, willing to work for free to see about adding some new features. Sure enough, after some long conversation I suggested that I should make a post to suggest some new features and the users could discuss them in the forums. Thus, here I am! Take a look at the suggestions below and discuss these ideas in the link I provide to the forums. - Adding RSS - Would allow users to subscribe to content and they would be notified when it was updated
- Adding Polls - A periodic poll would be created on the site for MBFC members to answer
- Rearrange items on the main menu - Pure and simple, just group them together. For example, all the "link" sections would be next to eachother
- Add comments to the homepage - This would allow registered users to comment on stories.
- Finally, the BIGGEST one of them all, change the forum software. This one would be big and would require a lot of support from the community. If approved, the forums would wrap inside of the main site, but other than that it wouldn't be much different. For an example of what this is like, please visit an example on my other website that can be found here: http://diggnationpodcast.com/forums.html
- Note: That's basically a place where I test everything out. I've got no fan base there, just those that view the videos then leave =) Also, the calender would be integrated into the physical site and would offer more features. A little widget on the homepage would show days with episodes and days without them, with options to view in daily, weekly, or monthly formats. Lots of detail and more features in the calendar!
Be sure to let me know if you members have any more suggestions, and I would love to hear what you guys think of the thoughts above. Thanks again!
