How to improve the Sora Scans Community?

[Aeonsky]

Hi everyone!

This is just a small community meeting to discuss how we can improve the community. Recently I added a shoutbox (working out great) and I also added a "Downloads" link in the navigation bar.

Also, I'm going to add a gallery soon so that's covered.

About the tricks store, they're still developing it, you can view the progress at this site vbCredits (http://www.vbcredits.com/). Once it is released, I'm going to install it immediately.

So please post any comments about how the admins can improve the community (inlcuding the site too) so it would be more enjoyable. Anything goes, post whatever you feel like that should be done; e.g. the skin, forum layout, different rank username colors, so whatever!

Aah Aeon, my friend! You already know my request! A Pink Rank Title saying "Simca's King" Ohh yes sir! :D:D:D

Haha, apart from that, the shoutbox and the fast releases of Chapters was an awesome find when I got back from holiday, Arigatoo!

[Aeonsky]

Do you all think Sora Scans should have RSS feeds?

[Nikku]

For non-computer maniacs, RSS feeds means? xD

It's hard to say where they're lurking, but if you keep reaching out to fans of Air gear and telling them thta this forum exists, i'm sure they'd be keen to come.

maybe have a custom title ability after a ridiculously high amount of posts?
something like 500+?

[penguinism]

were working on the trick shop, which ull be able to buy certain things with trick points...like custom titles, colored names, etc

Maybe we could host events for forums. I'm not really sure what I'm saying either, but I can't really think of any. I haven't been here for long. Also, maybe a place where people can interact with their own roads and such. A section for each road, maybe? Or would that make the forum too big?._. I'm being really vague right now, because I don't know if what I'm typing is possible or not. Or, maybe I was thinking, a way for everyone to interact at once? Shoutbox isn't really used by people who aren't Mods and the like, so I think eveyone should have the chance to get to know each other. And, to block out compounded words that have bad words in them, because they work.

oooooooo really?!?!?
thatd be awesome if theres a trick shop^^
i cant wait, ima gonna buy meself a pink or blue name ^^

i think the idea of groups is a good idea. i know suggested that on the old forums but it didnt support it yet. But not just groups like the graphics ones and this like. ones that users can create. Teams or whatever. and have people join. You could run in as people pay an initial amount of tricks. for writes to that name. and it could replace the B-Rank rider or whatever. as for blocking out peopel who swear with it words you cna do that as per code that most filters use. if you let it search for just like lets just go with damn as not to offend anyone. when you then start searching words for that if it like a word that ended in dam and the next word started with n. it would bleep those out. You just need to ask those people who swear to just respect common coutersey(cant spell that) If it continue ask a mod or admin and they will ban the person. Aeonsky how long are you expecting on the trick shop to be up and running. for the groups how difficult would that be to do because if it was user run. would they then have an individual topic group kind of like the rpg that only users in the group/team whatever would have access too. I just really like the user group idea if you could look into that a little more if you get time.

I want to see more simca booby goodness

ROFL hahahahahahahas that's an insane way to improve the s.s community..

I like the idea of trick shop too, but then it would be really messy since people would have different colours and titles...then those who are in staff wont seem very special anymore :(

[Seijuro]

the staff is special. But this way everyone else gets to be included to.

[rasenshuriken]

oooo new colors for the forums.
the light blue is getting a teensy bit dull

Are there any current updates on the Trick Shop?

[Leave]

:p

They say it should be out soon. Been saying this for a long time now...since August I think. XD

[HurricaneRoad]

couldent it be nice with something that we can buy with our trick points??

[penguinism]

trick points are part of a credit system...the people who code the credit system havent finished making it as far as i know...so there snothing we can do about that

what im more curious about is why didnt u read the posts above urs?

[Artcore]

Well once that gets running we could use it for SotW. Like 500 points for winning, or whatever.

What would we be buying with these points?

[T.Y.]

for the sake of argument, lets say they have opened up the shop and u can purchase things with ur points, how would u do that?

[HurricaneRoad]

hehe Peguism sry about that mate just didnt see it because i just had to get it out of the body:P


But then i have another Question cant u make new themes for every Anime that u are Translating??.. that would be awesom :)

[ingrizz]

Im thinking of upgrading the download section so that you can download not only chapters but also volumes.

[chozen]

i think maybe lower the donation amount instead of 90$, i also wana donate but thats too much for me. btw how r those guys posting pics on their comments ive been wannting to know how to do thatt for the longest time. do they copy and paste? and of course i know it has to be appropiate.

What $90 for donations?

And do you mean signatures for the pictures under comments?

In more relevant news....

Aside from actually having a way to spend our tricks, which I understand is a waiting process for vBulletin or whoever the hell makes this shit... and that we can't do a thing about it until they do something.

I suggest a new Raffle. So that I have something to squander about $10 on... so basically when is the next raffle?

[Minox2109]

we should get more people to post in the dif sections... i mean if u look at the art section there are a lot of views but the number of replies is kinda pitiful...

[Nie]

We can not force people to post if they dont want to post......

[Minox2109]

i didnt say we had to force people... im jst sayin people could be reminded to post in every section... even if it is a short comment...

[Seawolf]

Still we cant force people to post. Reminding them would just fall mostly on deaf ears.

[bg20102]

Man this site is awsoMe you guy have done alot to make it better!! From the trick shop to the chatbox you guys rock!!! Well In to business I think that if you guys were to add like a place/link where you can watch anime but not just air gear but others to it woulb be great :) :) :) also maybe you can also add in the if you guys take mine consideretion somewhere where we can add comments and our opinion of what we thought and the episode :) :) :) and if such place exist already In this website them mybad I just haven't fund it yet sorry!!!!!!!!! :).
