I found it a little difficult to keep track of everything we're agreeing on, (different from what we're trying to get done from the "to-do" list) so I'm going to try to put all major decisions and possible plans into one list here. Anyone who can, please feel free to edit or post more.

-Optional Swear Filter

-Spam Farm limited only to tests and incoherent posts

-Deleting/Archiving Booze Farm

-Minimizing the RPG

-Redirecting our marketing to a more "adult" audience

-Becoming content-based/providing a service (GFX? Blog? Political
aggregate?)

-Centering more on intelligent discussion/expanding the University

-Some way for people to get recognition aside from post count (cash, "digg"-like system...)

-Expanding the political RP (?)

-Reviving GFX/Show-off forums (?)

If we get rid of the booze farm, where will people randomly yell PENIS? stongue.gif

But yes, thanks for compiling the list

They can do that in the Spam Farm.

PENIS!

...this is the Origin Center, but I won't warn you because that goes along with restraining the Spam farm...

PENIS!

PENIS!

So wait, we're trying to market an adult audience now right? Why not appeal to everyone?

Because it's impossible to appeal to everyone and succeed, our topics are starting to require more serious, well thought-out discussion, and we don't want 10 year olds running around here, do we? This isn't the place to discuss this though, please see the Marketing topic.

I think we also need a deadline on all of these.

Absolutely. Almost a week has passed now (or has a week passed?) and we're still all very sketchy. I still agree with Nes on not forcing each other to contribute, but we need to be stricter as to when to implement these, or the majority of these, ideas and plans.

I suggest a timeframe of implementing one per week. It should give us plenty of time, and still keep what activity we have in non-"Re-doing Origin" topics going.

Okay, so we have no more swear filter, no pub limitations either. What's next?

I'm not ignoring it but the public has no longer any initiative. I should go do something stupid again.

Let's restructure the forums again. I want to get marketing going.
