Also as for contributions to the site, I've been looking to start a regular video series for fun, and was thinking of doing a wrestling show in a style similar to AVGN and Nostalgic Critic. I might try to work on something during the week, and post it here...if you guys like it, you can use it as a regular TPWW.net show.

El Fangel 07-30-2008 03:34 AM

I was thinking about this earlier, the one thing that would get to visit the site, is regular PPV results/reviews/reactions.

If it was updated by someone after each match took place at the PPV highlighting big spots, the finish, etc.

And the review of the PPV done up by the next day I can definatly see that bringing people in :)

The Mackem 07-30-2008 04:05 AM

Man, remember Trips' live commentary...something like that should happen again.

Well even if it was something less time consuming about UFC maybe getting some of the other UFC fans on the forums involved. Even if it's results being posteed or something and then maybe a review posted every so often etc.

Dorkchop 07-30-2008 10:54 PM

I'd love TPWW to have PPV results right after each match. I went through a period where I didn't see a ppv live for a few years. All I wanted to do was fine results right after the PPV was done, but I always got shitty sites with crap loads of pop ups. Sometimes I wouldn't even be able to find results right after the PPV easily. Didn't TPWW used to have PPV results?

I've just started to watch them regularly again, but sometimes don't care enough to watch ones. I'll usually read through the threads created in this forum when I'm not doing anything, but I won't read through the whole thread if I'm out while the ppv is on(too many damn pages).

Destor 07-30-2008 10:58 PM

Id be willing to do live PPV coverage

DaVe 07-31-2008 12:53 AM

Yeah, another good idea. Is Triple A noting these down?

Triple A 07-31-2008 01:00 AM

I am re-writing these posts in my notebook, yes.

Triple A 07-31-2008 01:08 AM

Nah but all this stuff will be taken into consideration once the site is re-designed and a new newsboard system is set up and integration is done, etc.

Til then, keep the ideas coming.

Destor 07-31-2008 01:11 AM

Kinda interested what has sounded good to you so far...

El Fangel 07-31-2008 01:24 AM

I will assist in PPV stuff, I am usually free on Sunday nights.

Also, I have not seen a TPWW news thread in a long while

wut up wit dat?

Theo Dious 07-31-2008 10:34 AM

Something fairly small... I'd like it set so that changing your forum color scheme preferences also reaches to the TPWW.net main page. Red and yellow hurts my eyes and offends my soul.

Purgatory 08-01-2008 06:10 AM

I used to love the Play by Plays that ya did back in the day, Trips. Maybe someone could take up doing that. I'd do it, but I haven't watched a RAW live in years because of my work hours. :(

TerranRich 08-01-2008 11:26 PM

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you lately about themes, Triple A.

On Xylot Themes, I have a Theme of the Week, updated every Monday morning. Maybe you could also add that to your site? I could provide you with some PHP code that you could ease in gently, and it would call up the Theme of the Week info from my site, and display it on yours in whatever format you want.

Then there could be a Themes of the Week archive that has all of the previous TOTW entries in list form.

I know you told me, however, that you would want to stick to themes not owned by WWE or TNA (like production themes, commercial songs used as themes, etc.), and that's wise. I could either (1) force my Themes of the Week to be non-WWE/TNA-owned, or (2) I could make a separate Theme of the Week specifically for TPWW. I think the latter option is the better one.

I will find time in the next few days to compile a list of all of the themes that neither WWE nor TNA own, and then maybe you could even choose from that list every week, or give me a list of what each Theme of the Week could be.

Let me know.

Finally, being a web designer & developer, I can help out with some of the coding involved in revamping the main site. I do good work. :)

TerranRich 08-01-2008 11:27 PM

And yeah, BRING BACK COLUMNS! If I had the time, I'd write some.

El Fangel 08-01-2008 11:36 PM

I think Destors idea about the PPV results would be cool. Have a play by play of whats going on, a quick match overview after the match, and a complete overview after the PPV, also if there was 2-4 people offering reactions/opinions on matches that might set the stage for some homepage views.

El Fangel 08-01-2008 11:37 PM

And FFS change the main page to green.

O_o

Hasn't the main color of TPWW for years been red, yellow, and black? Why would be make it green?

Dude... absolutely on all counts. I love the theme of the week idea. It could even be a WWE theme if it's just every week, I think that would def be fine. But if you could make a list of all the non-WWE owned themes that would also be awesome. TNA is actually fine too.

And I am definitely going to take you up on that web development help offer. :) That is one thing I think I am definitely going to need.

Do you have any suggestions on any specific software I could use for news and features posting and stuff? I want to scrap the current system because I personally hate it and it constantly screws up and I am thinking of just using Wordpress but I never have so I'm not sure if it's fully customizable like I want it to be or whatever. Anything you know of that's better?

Triple A 08-02-2008 10:16 PM

For the record I am reading all the suggestions on here!!!!!!!! I will go more into detail about stuff soon. The first/main thing I want to do is set up some sort of re-design/re-programming of the site and once that's in place and if everything is working like I want it to work in my head, we can get individual features and stuff integrated into the site in a good way.

Triple A 08-02-2008 10:17 PM

That being said, anyone have any re-design suggestions (OTHER THAN CHANGING THE COLORS CAUSE I'M NOT)?

Like certain sections that could be included on the main page, how things should be organized, etc? I already have a good general idea of what I want to do but I'm just fishing for any possible great ideas.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 08-02-2008 10:24 PM

Wrestling Babe with them BIG OL TITTIES for your boy Diesel Mac

Destor 08-02-2008 10:26 PM

Just want to reiterate: Divas section.

DaVe 08-03-2008 05:26 AM

That being said, anyone have any re-design suggestions (OTHER THAN CHANGING THE COLORS CAUSE I'M NOT)?

Okay, I'm looking at the page now, and would like:
- the pages to spread 100% of screen width. No one has used 800x600 since 2000 (probably when this site was last redesigned :p)
- bigger standard text size
- this is more a personal preference but I don't really like the glowing titles/headings

TerranRich 08-03-2008 01:23 PM

Trips, I've used Wordpress on my sites before, but never had the time to fully customize them. I always use pre-made layouts because I'm just too damn lazy, but I know it's not that hard to customize.

I use a built-from-scratch blog/news sytem for Xylot Themes. It's not that hard to do; I could probably write some code for you to use. You would just have to plug in the code to connect to the database. I would really have to see how the code is written to help out more.

It's up to you. I prefer to use custom-built code that I write myself, rather than WordPress's system, which is kinda complicated.

And I'll get on that list today or tomorrow.

Triple A 08-03-2008 01:34 PM

Dude you are the fucking man. If you could help out writing some sort of system that would be awesome. I will def give more details and stuff later, not at my house right now.

Thanks.

Not really talking about aesthetic things. More layout suggestions.

Just FYI. I refreshed this from 145 days ago, and TPWW went up by $8000.

TerranRich 08-04-2008 12:16 AM

I got... $57... and a rubber band. What will that get me?

Blue Demon 08-04-2008 08:23 PM

Are you going to be looking at more columnists?

An 8 sided ring?

Indifferent Clox 08-06-2008 04:33 AM

I think we should have something like we do everymonday with the whole raw thing and the ppv thing where we watch it live, but like with movies nonwwe/tna ppvs (japan/ roh) I dunno how this would be done, but like a live message board thing where we decide to start a movie at the same time or we could watch it at certain times on tpww and chat about it while it's going on or something, and it plays once a week or day or something. Do you have any idea what I'm saying?

Indifferent Clox 08-06-2008 04:42 AM

insert an embedded screen above the thread. Or something.

BigDaddyCool 08-07-2008 03:14 PM

I like Tedious's idea about making me a mod. I would offer to write some sort of column, but you never let me before. So I'm not going to offer to do shit because there isn't a point. I hate you, you aren't my real father.

James Steele 08-13-2008 11:46 AM

A live chat room for RAW and PPVs.

YOUTUBE

Volare 08-15-2008 12:16 PM

Chat would be bad ass...instead of me looking like an idiot commenting on something when everyone is passed it (and/or want's to forget it)

Just please please please!(I'm begging you) for the love of god get rid of the "so and so thong shots!!" crap, it wastes my time.

James Steele 08-16-2008 02:54 AM

The YouTube Video of the day/week or something would help get hits.

I would also be happy to write the occasional article.
