I want to rejuvenate TPWW (main page)
Serious about it this time. I am going to re-design the site probably and try to add new features and whatnot. The main thing I want to do, though, is integrate it with the forum. Like hook it up with vbulletin somehow so that members of the forum can post comments on everything posted right on the page and things like that. Does anyone know of a good program or system or whatever for that?
Also want to set up a big video library section that can just be things from YouTube basically, but like categorized. Like a section that is "The Best Of" a specific topic or "Top 10 ______ Videos" or whatever, you know. The themes section is also gonna be rejuvenated with the help of TerranRich probably and Xylot themes. Talked to him about it a couple months ago. Also want to update the information database. The real names section, heights/weights, birthdays, all that stuff needs to be made current. Perhaps a trivia section can be added, maybe guess the wrestler again, or anything else you guys can think of. Also hopefully want to get the help of some of you guys to keep the newsboard up to date so we can have exclusive news. TPWW still somehow gets like 2,500 unique visitors a day to the main page which is weird, so I feel like it's worth being revived and made into a decent site again. Only problem is I haven't really watched wrestling in like 5 years so I have no idea what is going on. So that is why I want the help of you guys. Does anyone have any other ideas to make the site better? Would anyone be willing to help keep the newsboard regularly updated? Would anyone be willing to help update the info section? Or set up YouTube video compilations. Stuff like that. Obviously not going to be a one man job and it will and should be a collaborative effort. I am just throwing this out for now to see what kind of response it'll get. Depending on that, probably won't have the site re-designed and completely updated for another month or two. I'll keep this thread stickied for a few days. |

Official recognition of the TPWW Kliq as an organ of power, with modship to BDC, would be a definite improvement.

If you cater to the IWC you'll win. Also you should start watching again, it's getting decent.

Does anyone have any other ideas on ways to make the site better? That is what I more or less want to get out of this thread. Like I know there are some "features" that take place on the forum that could be turned into a feature on the main page.
And what exactly would you guys be willing to help out with, if you want to help out? Can anyone set up a few YouTube video compilations or something? As for the info sections, I will probably post another thread about those when the time comes so it can be a group effort in adding things. |

I will help by unmercifully critisizing your every move.
You should use asteriks instead of quotes. It's more flashy. ****Like I know there are some ****features**** that take place on the forum that could be turned into a feature on the main page.****-Triple A See? |

GamePolitics.com has a way to comment news updates, so that's a cool idea.
Quick TV results (aside from blog-like updates) for those who missed an event but rather not read an essay about it. I have alot of WWE theme music tracks, so however you wanna use them is cool. Sections for various wrestling related media (games, music). Fallen Angel has this game reviews thing that can be integrated (I did one review if you wanna see an example of how that can work). Same for music - ratings, reviews. And we should be alot nicer to new members, even if we are not, to increase traffic and recognition. These forums are scary. Cheesy as it sounds those 'Introduction Threads' not only spares newbs on creating an entirely new thread, but its a nice spot for us regs to say yo to the kids. Crisis to you all. |

I am unsure if you are joking, making fun of me, or are serious.
I mean music and games in general, I think that would help draw in posters for other forums, such as the music and video game forum. I mean alot of posters post in casual, but there seems to be a secondary forum for everyone, e.g for you Des that would be the wrestling forum which I am sure is your preference, for myself, I really enjoy the music forum. If we were able to draw posters in for those forums, I think it would help liven up the site. I was thinking for the music forum, I could download an album each week, and review the songs and the album as a whole. It will take an hour or two of my time each week, which would be easily managable if Trips would agree to this. |

But it's a wrestling site. He's not trying to put over the forum, he's trying to put over the main page. You're pushing the wrong issue here.

I mean, have a link to the review on the main page, it would bring people other then wrestling fans (I know that they are the focus) but why not appeal to music fans too, and video games fans by posting a link to a weekly review on the main page.

- News
- Columns/Opinion - TV Ratings - Good forum discussion Those are the main things I look for in a wrestling site. TPWW already has the last one down. Perhaps you could get even more returning visitors by highlighting current discussion in the forums and make how good these forums are, the main draw for the site. Then there are all those forum features that could be emphasised on the site that people have mentioned before: Better Wrestler, Rate the..., TPWW Hall of Fame, etc. I don't know how important stuff like 'real name' or 'weight', etc. is. I certainly would be looking elsewhere (wikipedia) for that stuff before I ever think about going to a website. |

Also Terran getting theme section up to form would rock, after all that was the draw the brought most of us here. (At least the people from before the email...) Better wrestler could be a poll on the main page, although I like getting the feedback in the forums as to why they voted, it's my reason for doing them. We could have a little section for the better wrestler hall of fame with some article about the career of said wrestler. Dunno. Or we could say fuck the HoF and just have kick ass in depth bios that would put OWW to shame. Noid writing some of his fantasy bookings but make him make them even more out there and detailed than usual. Could honestly be hilarious if he was trying to book something outlandish. Or just articles in general. (Provided they go through a screening process.) I think there's something to having regular interesting colums though. Seems like it was mentioned but daily trivia would be cool. DVD reviews would be a good thing, they release alot of them now and they aren't always good. I bet mrslackalack would dig that idea. While I hate Kane Knight his Ruse Reports have always been over and would likely be a hit on the main page as he is the typical smark, hates everything no matter what, thinks he's better than those in charge, etc. New banners is a must. They're way outdated. Photo galleries would be nice, particularly of the divas/knockouts, seems to be over on other sites anyway. And considering most wrestling fans are prepubescent I can see why. Indy themes, bios, and pics (RoH at least) would make the site appear cool and trendy. Underground even, which can never hurt. IMAGE. Same way having ECW coverage did back in the day. MMA might also be something to consider. I think all the wrestling sites cover MMA now a days. Dont frequent them often so I'm not positive. As far as you wanting youtube's made or whatever I dunno who could do that. I know Jabba CAN but I dunno if he would be into it, I find it doubtful. We could definitlyfind random vids to post though. You could also post multimedia links, like megaupload links and stuff. I've suggested it several times but a multimedia forum would be awesome and would attract more members to the forum, but it should be to where you have to have 1,000 posts to get in or something. The problem is your going to have people trying to spam their way to that number so the mods would be banning more people. DUNNO. Not much of a brainstorm, just the obvious really but I don't htink any of these things would be a bad idea. And as I said before I'll help with as much of this as you're willing to green light.

What about doing some more info on indy shows? - I dunno how or what, but I know, USA wise, indy shows have good wrestlers but we know jack about them, specially here in the UK. I'm sure someone here could put some info up about some shows here too. Like a schedule for shows, and when u clcik the link, the info about it / review etc.

Not at my computer now so I'll respond more in depth later, but one other idea I had is like... sort of a "Digg" system. Like if there is a good thread or someone posts a good opinion thread or whatever, people can "digg" it and if it gets enough, it'll be moved to the main page or whatever. Only problem is I have no idea how to set any of this shit up.

There should be a creative section for sure. Maybe a section dedicated to users who create wrestling graphics and wrestling music videos?
I figure that would be nice and interactive? Get some nice exposure of there graphical/video works and get feedback/star ratings or something like that? Just a thought. Best of luck with project! |
