Re: Ways to Boost Activity in the Forums

Some type of contest that EVERYONE can join.
Not just graphics, studio stuff, etc.
Something all Lil Wayne fans can try.
Obviously there would be a cut off amount.
I would say a Lil Wayne trivia game but this is the internet..
Idk something along the lines of that.

I think a good addition to the site would be to link the main blog with forum accounts, requiring you to register on the forums to post on the blog. It would use the same names and such.

Maybe even a post rating system. Like dumb, funny, bad grammar, late, ect.

Would involve more community activity

Deffinitly need more vBulletin plugin's, Isn't that why we upgraded? Danny needs to import things like the Permanant font setter & the Media player & what not. Just some random ideas

Re: Ways to Boost Activity in the Forums

Artille - What about some sorta news scroll typa box at the top of the forum (not too big) that scrolls all the latest weezy blog titles/news and links it to that story on the main website. This also could be good because if we want community events to get more publicity and more noticable then we can add a "Sign up to the TEXT TOURNY NOW! Click here" or "Click here to sign up to the GFX toruny" etc...just a thought

GFX Section:

Resource Section? E.g Brushes, Font's & Stocks Etc.
Brush/Font of the week?
Sig of the week?

Discography Section? (Non Wayne)

SOTW is too frequent and people wouldn't take part. Me and Artille were talking about a sig of the month instead

Well before the forums came back up I was thinking about having a few boxes on the right side (that you could minimize like the bar at the bottom) that would update every time a new blog post is made. There would be one for LilWayneHQ, one for YoungMoneyHQ, and another for recent tweets from Lil Wayne/Young Money members (like the one on YoungMoneyHQ). I thought that would be cool, but now I don't wanna because LilWayneSurp already has their boxes on the side for each artist and I wouldn't want people thinking we jacked their idea. So your scroll at the top is definitely possible, but I would have to find a good mod to do so. Thanks for yet another suggestion!

@Dino - I've gotta be honest. I really dislike this rating system for bad grammar, ignorance, etc. My goal is to tear people away from that, not promote it.

@The Resistance - A resources subforum would be sick. Brush/font of the week would be a graveyard because nobody on here creates brushes or fonts. Sig of the Week is too frequent like Wisheezy mentioned. Sig of the Month would probably be better and would get more participants.
