It's the total recall here

[VEN is Back]

Alright so as you can assume, and probably know, I'm with mouse, this site is going to be reborn. However this will require immense effort from those whom we currently have back.

The way I see things we'll need a few things:

-A new skin and tittle banner(the city-picture where is says dotado)

-New board Organization(Put the topics into new categories.

-Place all old boards from our last binge on this site into an old boards topic.

--Plot updates; add in everything that happened in before this proboard "died" to the plot

-For any characters who's owner don't come back we should put into a new board, not the unused characters section. Maybe a "hall of legends" or something like that.

-Advertising is huge, I'm willing to head back to neopets or anywhere to get more members but it will be hard.

-Activeness. Until we get this site fully back on it's feet everyone needs to be as active as possible.

-We have that playlist at the bottom of the site, it could be updated, maybe throw in some new songs, and remove a couple of older ones, keep things fresher

-A new c-box color scheme

-Plot devices and ideas; these wouldn't be used imeadityl but if someone is willing to sit down and talk I'm willing to attempt and make a new plot, or a couple of sub-plots to attract new members.

If anyone has more ideas just post them, but right now we should probably divy up these couple of jobs and work on those. Addmitedly I can't make skins as computers and me don't speak the same language, but If I can get staff powers I can start moving boards and recategorizing things. If anyone doesn't like any of these ideas just say so, but I have free time usually most weekdays after school, so I can come in and update things.

*Salutes.* Mousiemus Prime reporting for duty!

I will address each and every think you mentioned as I move through the list. I've also got to say some of the things have been done already and will simply address that as best I can.

-Old Skins are currently being removed. I have a new one in the works. I think I will make 2 per every month. One for if there is a holiday and one that simply reminds of us that month. On that month the skins will be made availible. I don't know however. I just think a new one for right now is a good idea.

- I find the board itself is pretty well orginized.

- All the old boards have been moved, minus important ones. That has already been done and is over with as far as I know.

- Plot update is a must. We do need to add a lot of things to it.

- The 'Hall of Legends' thing sounds fine to me. However, I would like to make it so only members may view that board. I would also like to make it like that for the actual active character boards. Or prehaps put a password up on them so that once the person has been accepted they have the password PMed to them.

- Advertising is huge. I'll advertise on Neo if I have to.

- Activity itself is massive! Massive, My dears. I second this notion whole heartedly.

- The playlist does need a little revamping however I believe Tiffables is in control of that.

- New colors for the C-box would be nice. I believe, however, those would probably have to wait until the new skin is up and running.

- You should have just put plot and the like in the same 'bullet' my dear. It's the same thing, we need some ideas.

And, bleh.

K with the playlist, I think we need to just erase the whole thing and start over.

The plot, everyone talking about the plot.. That was the problem I think in the first place is that we couldnt find one that everyone was interested in and could agree on. If you want, throw out suggestions, go for even the most wild ideas and put them out there.

And Ven, I have to say, just for the record.... Um... there was already an archive board for old rps and old characters...has been for as long as this site has been open.. bottom of board. Yeah. So....... Okay..

Now, thanks are in order. OMG you two! You are so for this site, and you have thought so hard about how to make it work! Im impressed! Thank you very much. I have a connection that WORKS back in my room, so every night that I am home I will be here!!! My mom has her own computer now so she is leaving mine alone now and we are having fights over the power cord cuz she for some reason did not receive one with her computer and she keeps stealing...*drum roll please* .. mine. Of course.. Anywho! There is a board, that Mousie so wonderfully left in the suggestions category, for songs! Make a new thread and start adding new suggestions for the playlist. I will remove the one on there now..

I am glad to be back as a member of Dotado. I have some free time for the next couple days, so I will be active as much as possible. If there is anything specific you would like me to do just let me know (even though I have a limited knowledge of computers)

As it is the weekend currently I will be working hard all weekend to try and help fix this amazing and enjoyable place. Tiffables, there is absolutely no need to thank me. You're awesome and have done a lot for me, you don't even know. On days I was feeling horrible I would come to Dotado and just rant and rave and you would just tell me that everything would be okay. You're a great person and this board has given me a lot of things. So, I have my reasons to be helping and don't need any thanks at all.

If there are people we know that won't be coming back, please PM me. Or better yet, if you know of people WHO ARE coming back that would like to keep their characters on the board, let me know. You also should PM me the names of the characters you will continue to use. Alright? This is so I don't delete or move the wrong characters.

Over the weekend I intend to password all of the character related categories, minus the application board. A new rule will be added that if anyone other than the staff gives the password to a new comer, you will get a warning of some sort. I'm not messing around. I've seen it happen before, someone goes to a board and steals a very well made character. It does happen and don't try to argue with me, you know who stubborn I can be. I also plan add something to the background image to make it a little more interesting and more purtiful. If you have any ideas, please PM them to me. I will delete the old plot board and also create a new one for us to discuss everything. I hope to possibly add a table at the top of the forum that will act as a guide with links to the imporant boards, a brief UPDATES section perhaps and a Staff Section.

Yeah, I'm a busy little mouse, but I don't care. I love what I do.

Awesome, so it looks like mouse has the skin covered, tiff can work with music if we get in a few suggestions, I can try to advertise, and brainstorm new plot ideas, my site can melted into this one if anyone wants, it's pretty much dead so you fuse it in with this, feel free to pry off any ideas you like if you see any, including the plot.

Is there a section on pro-boards for advertising? if there is I'm there, if not back to the old neopets it is I guess.
