I'm seriously considering bringing back Scenes from a Hat, but I don't know how that would work as a feature. Maybe it'll just be forum-only.
Thoughts? Should I bring it back? |

Scenes from a Hat was good. You just had to weed out the retarded responses to find the Golden one.
Worth the effort just to read that classic response - usually from that KYR guy. |

Actually, you could probably do it the same way Trips suggested for the News bites.
Responses go into a queue awaiting approval from a Mod. It's certainly something I've never seen on any other site. |

Maybe a "Scenes from a Hat" subforum would work. Same idea, but each scene would get its own thread and the best from each would be put on the main page.
This would allow multiple scenes to be going at once, instead of being cut off. Just thinking out loud here. Probably too elaborate for what is truly needed. |

I think there is probably a way to be able to upload images onto the server through WordPress. I will check it out. Or if anything I will just upload anything you need to the site's FTP.
How do you want to do the captions section? Top 10-15 or whatever captions of the thread? I honestly just realized that it is probably not a good idea to post images straight from WWE.com because I am kinda just not allowed to. I mean in terms of ALL the images. If it's only some of them, in the form of captions, I don't think it'll be a problem though. |

I'd greatly enjoy writing some kind of commentary article, or contribute any of my immense talent. I'd either rant, or give a slice of the lighter side.

If we had a set group of main page contributors we could also have a feature along the lines of "employee picks", similar to what you may see at a video store. Every week or month we could each submit 5 new must watch matches/promos/ppvs, etc.

You bring up a good point, and I do have to screen cap to get the pictures themselves (can't link directly from WWE.com). Maybe we should keep it to the forums to not draw attention to it? I don't know how far fair use can go and even the Unnecessary Censorship concept is treading a line I'm sure. Both *MAY* fall under parody. I'm probably dropping UC, though. Not enough interest, at least for creating it. I'd be willing to maybe make it a daily feature and do it myself, though. Last edited by Xero; 02-05-2009 at 10:02 AM. |

Triple A, when you got the cease and desist notice - what year was it? Did you get it from WWF or WWE? If it was from WWF could you not ignore it?

OK I am gonna try to set up the new posting system right now. Hopefully it will work how I am hoping.
Also gonna mess around with the layout of the site some more. Move the features thing on top and change the way that looks in general... maybe add Better Wrestler in its own box on the main page? Could also do that with captions. Like have a random caption displayed in its own box, kinda like the Daily Video thing. Or caption of the day or week or whatever. I am just "thinking out loud" now. And the Unnecessary Censorship thing doesn't have to be every day. I feel like you would def get tired of it, no? Weekly thing would be pretty cool though. Or whatever. It is all up to however you wanna do it. Could even just be a one time special feature if you wanna do that. I knwo you already have a few good ones from the last thread. OK OK I am gonna try to get this thing working right now. <3 everybody FOR REAL. Thanks everyone for helping/offering to help me out with this shit. -edit- OK I think I got it more or less working, besides a bunch of customization I still have to do that is giving me a huge ass headache right now. I will work on it more later. Last edited by Triple A; 02-07-2009 at 04:40 AM. |

I think for the Censorship one I'll do one article with what I already have (like an introduction) and then make it a one-a-week deal.
As for the captions, I like the idea of the random caption on the front page. I also figured out what I'm going to do for the feature. I'll have the top five of the week in a post and a separate "Caption of the Week/Month" page where the top one of each week and month will be posted. We'll only upload (to TPWW) the top five images of every week to keep it low, but I'll link each week to each of their forum threads. |

Alright I really need some opinions about the whole users able to post thing...
The posting page will be here btw: http://www.tpww.net/submit/ It is live but it is not finished yet obviously so don't submit anything yet. Just showing as an early draft example of the "system". Anyway, my main question is this... should I enable comments to be posted on each post? Or should I just forget about the comments thing? If I do enable comments, everything posted to the main page will automatically be posted to a forum here too and then everyone can reply to each thread regularly. This is fine but the main problem I can think of with this system is this... if a new person wants to join to be able to submit news, they have to also join the forum and go through that whole "process" and get approved and everything. If I just disable the whole forum integration thing, they would be able to just quickly sign up through the built in WordPress registration/login system, which is way simpler, and would allow them to post news immediately. What do you guys think would be better? Also are comments even necessary? What happened last time is that a lot of posts just had 0 comments and it doesn't look too good honestly. I mean some news items, there is nothing you can say to them, so they go on with 0 comments and it looks stupid. But if I do disable comments, the news won't be posted to the forum. I guess we should do the forum thing though eh? Again, thinking out loud. Also found out a way to post the actual Better Wrestler poll on the main page so I can include the poll instead of just linking to the forum page. So I will probably just add a Better Wrestler "box" somewhere on the site since it's updated like every 3 days anyway. And next to that I will probably add the caption thing I mentioned before. |

Yeah, I'd axe the posting comments on the site, but that's just me.

So, if you disable comments would any news item posted still have to be approved by a mod before it is visible to everyone?
If so then I would agree with Des and say "Yes" disable the comments. Any "news" item that would be good for open discussion could then be "quoted" in the General Wrestling Forum (which basically happens now anyway) and everyone can comment/post accordingly from there. The "News" section (IMO) should be just news items and a reference source. |

I agree with KYR.
Also, I'd like to see rules set for the posting. IE: Properly sourcing everything and no advertising. |

May just be me but I'm noticing a hell of a lot of people joining and actually posting, especially in the wrestling forum, lately. I think these changes are working well, keep it up.

Trips, how will I post the captions? Through the submit form or should I send them to you?
