Proposal to the staff of TBT to create two more sub-sections for "The Basement"

Okay, so basically I'll post what I copied and pasted from another thread I posted in in The Basement here....

The "Ask me about myself" threads in the basement are kind of getting annoying... I know it's a game and all, but like almost everyone's doing it. It almost feels like we need a whole nother forum section for "Ask me" basement thread games... Sorry, it's just getting really annoying when the threads start to take up the place of creative games that could be on the first page... >.> >.<


EDIT: I guess the same thing could be said about Team threads now though... I feel like if the mods did something to filter both Team threads and "Ask me about myself" threads out of The Basment, it would help The Basment's first page have all sorts of creative, original games made by various members... Idk if that could work or not, but it's just my opinion...


They could make sub-sections for it for example like they did for the Mafia games (The Cellar)

I'm posting this here because I was wondering if the mods, or admins of TBT have any intention of doing something like this? Basically the premises for it would be to create two new sub-sections for The Basement. One of those sub-sections would be called "Ask me!" and be for all the 'Ask me about myself' threads that keep popping up in the Basement. I feel, as a proud user of TBT, that these threads would be better off suited for that sub-section instead of the Basement. Now there are two reasons for this. The first and foremost is that the first page of The Basement, I believe, should only be for creative, original games made by members and nothing else. The second reason is that if this sub-section were to be made, I have a feeling a LOT of TBT members would get good use of it because a lot would want to use a sub-section like that.


Now, as for the Team threads... For the Team threads I believe a "Team Threads" titled sub-section would be appropriate for The Basement because of all the influx of Team threads people see in The Basement. Team threads are basically a thread about a specific collectible or subject that people like to talk about together and create various aspects to it for. I feel like this sub-section could also get a lot of good use out of it by members of TBT, as well as help break up Traffic in The Basement as it is, and leave space for more creative, original games to be posted on the first page of the Basment main section.


What I am proposing to the mods and admins here at TBT is a total revamp of the Basement by adding those two, new sub-sections under it, and then moving all the current 'Ask me about myself' and 'Team Threads' threads that currently reside in The Basment into those respective sub-sections....


I want to know if you, the members, the staff, and the sages are all interested in something like this?? I'm going to create a poll here so a lot of people have a say on this. If you have any suggestions or comments on this please feel free to post them here. Also, if a thread like this isn't allowed in The Bell Tree HQ, this can be closed down. Thanks for your time.

I guess that would be nice. It's not hard to just ignore the threads I'm not interested in tbh.

I agree with you on the ask threads.
Disagree with team threads - there aren't enough for it to be annoying, and once the groups are restocked they'll most likely migrate there, so it's a temporary and pointless fix.
Bring back the RP board too (+ RP Key so collectible obsessed members get a new friend)

I guess the same thing could be said about Team threads now though

Would be nice, but so would a group restock - which is more suitable IMO

But yeah, the ask threads should have their own board or something

 

[Rasha]

I like your ideas! let's hope the mods will listen

 

[Ichigo.]

I agree with there being a sub-section for "ask me" threads. The sheer amount of them have turned them into something annoying.

 

[Miharu]

I definitely agree with you about the "Ask Me" threads. c: I see many of them on the first page and not so many games.

However, I'll have to disagree with the Team Threads. There's no need for it to have a whole sub forum to itself, since most teams created (at least Team Popsicle's) is just a temporary thread until there's a group restock. Once there's a group restock, we'll definitely be moving there. Not only that, most teams that were created are not very active anymore.

 

[Midoriya]

Alright, so maybe just a sub-section for the 'Ask me' threads in the Basement as well as maybe a sub-section for 'Roleplay' threads in the Basement seems the general concensus so far...

 

[Miharu]

Oh another idea that's possible instead of making separate sub forums is to make certain prefixs just like what they do in the TBT Marketplace! c: That way if you only want to post/see the games, just click on that prefix! Same with Ask Me Threads, Roleplays, and etc!

From reading this I think it's best to do this for the ask me threads.

Although the only team I have seen so far is Team Popsicle which I don't think needs its own sub-forum. T~T

 

[Azza]

The real solution is to stop making so many of these types of threads

This but unfortunately people are going to keep making them. I think making a sub section for the ask threads is a good idea.

I agree with both. Both Teams and Ask Me sections. The only reason the Teams get no popularity and no one posts is because they are rarely ever bumped and no one sees them. The main reason Team Popsicle has become so popular is because most of the active members on it are in a skype group and use it as a chat room, in a sense. If you were to add both, I think the Teams might actually catch on, and people would post more in them, since they'd actually know they exist. Just my opinion though.

(Either way, the Ask Me threads are getting a little annoying imo...)

Bump!


I agree with this all completely. I feel like, if they do make a 'Team threads' sub-forum in the basement, teams will catch on more and more and more people will actually make them and run them well. And there's already a good four to five team threads that exist that could be moved into the sub-forum to begin with.


Right now 'Ask me' sub-forum for the basement, 'Roleplay' sub-forum for the basement, and 'Team threads' sub-forum for the basement seems the most popular. Keep the votes going everyone!

Ahh just to clear this up, most of our active members aren't in a skype group hahaha xD Naekoya, Jacob, and I have our own group chat on skype to talk and plan things out for TP c: As for the other group chats, only Daniel is the most active from the skype group hahaha XD Aside from Jacob, naekoya, myself, and Daniel, the top 8 posters aren't in a skype group chat with any of us c: (Since most of the other members mainly talks on skype, there's no need to talk on TP unless it's to chat with other members who don't have skype XD )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the sub forums for Teams, my opinion still stands. c: It would definitely be nice, but the only active/semi active teams I've seen is Team Fruit, Team Pokemon, and Team Birthstones. There's not enough active teams where there needs to be a separate sub forum for it in my opinion. (If anything, like I suggested in the first page, maybe having some prefixes for "Teams, Roleplay, Ask Me" threads would work well too? That way if anyone wants to see certain prefixes, they can just click on that and you'll see all the Teams, Roleplay, Etc.)

 

[Midoriya]

I'm still going to stand with the opinion of sub-forums for at least two of the three subjects mentioned.... I know prefixes would work out and all, but they just don't cut it for me.... Sub-forums on the other hand actually make a person see it on the main page of the forum and hence more people will be making threads in those respective sub-forums.... That is my opinion of course... The Cellar has been on TBT for a long time and I feel like The Basement deserves AT LEAST two more sub-forums, especially since we have stuff to work with...

Hahaha no worries at all! I'm only posting my opinion on the Team part! I agree with the others! I'm not trying to change your opinion at all! I was just merely stating what I thought about them! c: I thought this was more of a petition to have sub-forums because other threads such as "Ask Me" threads are taking over the basement while all the creative games are being pushed to the other pages. If this was a petition for Teams/Roleplays/Etc so they could have a better chance of being more noticed/seen/active, then I would totally agree with that!

But since this is more of a because it's annoying to see so many Ask Threads and any other threads that may not include games, I had to disagree with the Teams part, since there's not a lot of active teams for it to be annoying or to be considered taking up most of the traffic compared to the Ask Me Threads xD

It's fine! I completely understand and respect your views and opinions. I am agreeing with everything you've said here too.... Thank you for your input, Miharu...

^^^^^^^ no big deal.. it's not hard to ignore.

 

[sock]

Honestly, most team threads don't seem to stay around very long, apart from the big ones like Team Popsicle, which I think is fine.

As for the 'Ask me' threads, I think it depends what you're in to. I personally find them quite interesting, especially if they're by people I know/have seen around, so they don't bother me that much. But, I do understand where you're coming from.
