Ways to get people here? Everyone read!

[Dashell]

IF he's willing sure.

Here's another idea, a games section with stuff like this:
http://killthemongoose.com/madlibs/test.madlibs.php

 

[Pixel]

How bout asking Pixel? He's good at that drawing stuff.

lol stop pimping me out

Anyway, i wish i had the time, but game making is hard and time consumine, especially pixelart. And i dont think it would be much of a draw.

 

[Alex]

I agree with Pixel, the Lets Playidea is far more unique, interesting, and lets be realistic, has a much greater chance of actually getting finished.

 

[Dashell]

I believe my lazyness precedes me

Though I do plan start working on my adopt a Cloud again if anyone cares.

 

[NoenGaruth]

Now now, we must all do our part for the empire...

But alas, I just thought of you since I remembered all your pixel art from the ACF days. Now get back to providing us with more 3D Aerith Pron!

 

[trash panda]

I really miss buying materia and plushies and weapons and sending forum gifts to my forum friends. That's something I especially *loved* about ACF. =]

 

[Super Mario]

I can draw... I'll volunteer, but cousin beth has to do the colouring.

Er, no. This forums reputation for complete apathy towards everything that isn't a debate on staff drama or TIFA'S FUCKING HAIR COLOUR and self-destructive laziness does though.

 

[ForceStealer]

It wasn't really a debate. No one disagreed until you played antagonist

And reputation with who, might I ask?

 

[Alex]

What wasn't really a debate? I was referring to the fact that the only time the forum seems to experience huge swells of activity is when there's drama to do with staff to rip the piss out of.

Its hardly 'playing the antagonist' to pop Quexinos' ego and remind her that there are far lazier people around here.

And reputation with who, might I ask?

Im going to go and say the members.

 

[Dashell]

Holy shit guys do I really need to say I knew Alex wasn't talking about me? It was a joke

 

[Alex]

The man's just determined to keep me down

 

[Raquelborn]

I like Quexinos' ideas. In summary we should just have a creative section with an image gallery. Images will pull people to this site, we just have to make sure they can't hot link so they have to come to the site in order to see the image in full.

I also don't mind bigging up TLS in the descriptions of the FFVII cut scenes videos I've uploaded to Youtube.

Im not too sure about a podcast with no real focus. I think it would fizzle out quickly. An LP of 20min sessions could incorporate podcast elements like specific discussion topics per session based around what part of the game we're at. We could even edit it into podcasts like once a month for people who would like to just listen to the discussion.

20 minutes would be too long. People tend to like short episodes to listen to, at least at first, so they can get a good idea for what the podcast is like. It also means people's attention spans won't die out after the first 5 minutes.

It also wouldn't have to be a series. If we just did a podcast on several subjects and left it at that, people would still download, just not subscribe so much. Either way it the site still gets attention.

Also, I propose an LTD debate special if we do this.

 

[Bex]

I quite like the Let's Play idea, I'd be up for offering my dry, caustic wit.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

All we need now is for someone to do it. I'd gladly do a LP myself, but my microphone is broken.

And I think like half you guys would be turned off by my accent.

 

[Bex]

My accent is hilariously bad. ;.;
Also, no one can understand Alex because he's a Geordie.

Same

Just not in the commentary for Advent Children. Dislike.

 

[Pixel]

I'll be finished building my computer next week, so I can go ahead with recording some playthrough, then we can organise commentators and discussion topics.

It'd be awsome to talk about serious topics like terrorism etc with regard to the game, the comparisons to whats going on with our planet... as well as the size of tifas boobs

Most podcasts i listen to are about an hour long. Im just worried 5 or 10 mins wouldnt really be enough time to discuss a topic or whats going on in the scene. I think you underestimate most peoples attention spans... we play final fantasy after all

Yet another good podcast special.

It could be an idea then to make just a couple around 5-10 minutes so that we essentially have "tasters" on offer for those who are unsure about downloading the longer ones. It will help if they're video podcasts though, that will hold anyone's attention for longer.

Also, I've never done an LP but if there's a shortage of people with mics I have a "posh" although "foreign" although actually "characteristic" accent. (Not my own words. I think my accent is normal. Pfeh.)

What the hell are you talking about? I was referring to the Tifa's Hair Color thread.


And as I said, Raq, everyone loves British accents. That's why in States every single freaking company has a british spokesperson....

Hey sonny Jim, I'm English too ;.;

 

[Alex]

Oh come on, stop trying to pick a fight. I never said anything about a debate in Tifa's hair colour thread. I actually didn't know what the hell you were talking about in your last post, since I didn't say anything of the sort. But oh no, somebody just couldn't wait to try and remind everyone that I'm trying to 'play the antagonist'.

 

[Alex]

Forcestealer doesn't like you though

 

[ForceStealer]

Er, no. This forums reputation for complete apathy towards everything that isn't a debate on staff drama or TIFA'S FUCKING HAIR COLOUR

^ This guy is right, though.
