Another site ideas/help thread
 
OK so now that I have finally finished the site design, I want to actually make the content good.

I know a lot of people here said that they would be able to report and if so, that would be tremendous. I was thinking to give like 5-6 people from here (or maybe more) the ability to post stuff on the main page whenever they felt like it. Doesn't have to be like huge multi-news posts. Could just be one story per post, which is kind of how I think it should be in the first place. You could post whatever you want, include your opinions, whatever. Doesn't have to be all "stiff" and "professional" or anything. I think if there are enough people, we won't get the "got tired of doing it so stopped doing it" thing happening.

If you are interested, please lemme know. The only criteria I have is you have to be decent at writing and have a good grasp of spelling/grammar. If you use two dots instead of three for ellipses and shit like that, I don't know.

Also might bring in another decent "outside reporter" to post some stuff/keep it updated.

I think I am just going to scrap the whole comments/headlines forum thing since most people just post their comments on stuff in the wrestling forum so there is really no use for it. BUT there is an option to post things from the main page directly to the wrestling forum. So if someone wants to post news and there isn't already a thread in the wrestling forum, they could make one and comments would appear on the main page and stuff. That might be a weird/annoying system though with some posts having comments and some not so I don't even really know what I am gonna do. Or should I just keep the headlines forum? Fuck I don't know.

Anyway, I made this thread before and these are some of the ideas I took down...
  • Better Wrestler Hall of Fame - Could just make the same exact posts from the forum, and link to the forum page for the poll.
  • Top 10 list kinda thing. Like "Top 10 _____ Moments" or "Top 5 ____ Videos" or something? Fallen Angel was talking about this I think.
  • Power rankings thing maybe? If anyone wants to do that I mean, or if you guys think it would even be good/worth it.
  • Quick TV recaps? Like doesn't even have to be detailed really.
  • Would anyone want to do live PPV coverage? This one is pretty big.
  • I will probably do some photo gallery things.
  • Also that "tipsters" thing. Honestly I am not even really sure how it works or if it could be somehow implemented onto the site, but if it can, lemme know.
So yeah, if you want to help in any way, plz let me know. Or if you have any other ideas/suggestions/whatever.

I'm not lying when I say I would read columns. Obviously they have to be good but I'm sure people here would want to try. Like give everyone who wants to write a try out or something.

Triple A 01-29-2009 11:46 AM

Yeah. Could set up a columns forum maybe where they would automatically be posted and people could reply on the forum for instant feedback and whatnot. But yeah dunno how well it would work out though since everyone already posts quick thoughts in the forum.

Xero 01-29-2009 11:47 AM

Can't wait until next week when you drop this entirely again.

Triple A 01-29-2009 11:51 AM

Where is KingofOldSchool btw?

Volare 01-29-2009 11:55 AM

Is there a way we can get a chat just for us members? So we don't have to deal with the 9 year olds who spam chat rooms with Cena crap. (Unless we want to make them cry.)

Triple A 01-29-2009 11:56 AM

Nah chat rooms defeat the purpose of a forum.

The Mackem 01-29-2009 12:29 PM

Are there anymore games you can add and other multimedia type crap?

Triple A 01-29-2009 12:33 PM

I am kinda limited on the multimedia front because I can't really put up WWE copyrighted shit because they sent me a cease and desist back when I had a ton of media on the site.

Oh yeah the trivia thing... gotta figure out a way to do that also. Making it automated would be easiest. I will think.

The Mackem 01-29-2009 12:35 PM

You should hold competitions. First one should be to win FourFifty's WWE money.

Jeritron 01-29-2009 04:17 PM

I think it'd be incredible, and popular, if somehow the war room was able to be a live chat

Dave Youell 01-29-2009 05:47 PM

I offer to post news every time you ask.

So yeah, I will if you want

Tazz Dan 01-29-2009 09:29 PM

I'd quite happily help out however I can :y:

BigDaddyCool 01-29-2009 09:44 PM

I am already doing a Power Ranking, I can post that on the main page weekly.

El Fangel 01-29-2009 10:30 PM

I think if we did complete PPV Recaps that are being written up as the PPV is going then posted in the headlines IMMEDIATELY after it would bring loads of traffic to the site do to that.

Afterlife 01-29-2009 10:48 PM

I'll do ppv coverage if the shows are provided for me.

The Mackem 01-30-2009 07:30 AM

SPOILERS

Ryan Clark is taking an extended weekend holiday - no news over the weekend and no Raw coverage. This could be somebody's chance to step up!

This is looking good, if BDC keeps it going, it would be a good addition.

Anybody Thrilla 01-30-2009 03:00 PM

I would like to write a column where I put a positive spin on absolutely everything, no matter how retarded it may be.

Ryan Clark has not died yet. No replacement needed.

Anybody Thrilla 01-30-2009 04:45 PM

Whatever you say, TNAROCKS.

El Fangel 01-30-2009 04:49 PM

:'(

The Mackem 01-30-2009 08:04 PM

LOL @ today's video. Short but straight to the point.

DaVe 01-30-2009 09:25 PM

Nice, Triple A. The site is pretty simple but is quite awesome.

That could work. Ask for 'suggestions' each week, pick the one with the most potential and voila

Volare 01-31-2009 02:47 AM

Heh, kinda like a mad-lib?

Impact! 01-31-2009 02:54 AM

If you're interested I could do MMA news/reviews/updates/whatever.

JT 01-31-2009 03:12 AM

What about a weekly or monthly podcast?

BigDaddyCool 01-31-2009 12:36 PM

I'm really impressed, the mainpage looks good, plus after 10 years I'm finally on it.

Jeritron 01-31-2009 04:05 PM

I was taking it out for a spin and I found myself listening to the Wolfpack music in Window Media Player.

lol I think that's my cue to get going for the day.

How did he drop this entirely. He did the re-design like he said he would, and is now asking for content ideas.

Don't bitch about his hard work because it isn't done on your timetable.

YOUR Hero 01-31-2009 07:10 PM

Triple A has perfect timing.

He's done this at least once before at least a year ago. The redesign is a start but I'm willing to bet it all fizzles out.

FourFifty 02-01-2009 01:08 AM

I'm all for blogs, or maybe a weekly "Captions" thread with winners each week based on votes.
Then again, I've always been a huge fan of funny stuff like the captions, or Scenes from a Hat thread.

If it helps, I likes The Ruse Report, and a non-kayfabe "Best week/Worst week" blog would be fun to read.

Destor 02-01-2009 10:09 PM

Indy coverage would be nice

Yeah, it would be nice to see important news/results outside WWE/TNA - just a case of someone being able to do it.

BigDaddyCool 02-02-2009 09:26 AM

You know destor, instead of demanding things to happen, why don't you make them happen by doing it yourself?

Destor 02-02-2009 04:45 PM

I would be glad to.

Xero 02-02-2009 04:47 PM

I'm for captions (real captions, not that C-Fed shit) becoming a feature.

And I'd be willing to lend something to a Photoshop feature. "Lulz, it's funny because it's fake."

Jeritron 02-02-2009 04:52 PM

Captions needs to come back. There should be caption of the day, with the top 10 poster captions, or something.
