We need to make TBT more fun...

[Josh]

Yeah, So we need like some ideas to make TBT more fun, It's pretty boring around here at the moment. So I guess you guys should post ideas and hopefully we can like all arrange it and ACTUALLY do it instead of saying yes I'll do it and only 2 people do it. Such as TBT Pizza party and TBT Valentines concert.

So if you have any ideas, post it, I'll make a poll later so you can post your favorite ideas and we can arrange it and hopefully Jeremy can help us.

So go ahead, no spamming/flaming or Bidoof/Nook trolling.

Let's rave.

 

[bittermeat]

More contests.

 

[Liv]

More people in the IRC.

 

[Psychonaut]

more people in irc/knowing how to use it
more people posting frequently
more people that keep up a conversation to some extent
more ways to keep animal crossing fun for everyone

I'm thinking a movie night/contest event would be a bunch of fun. I dunno if it would be possible for someone to, like, broadcast a movie then pause it for a bit and host a contest shortly. Like first person to find a green object and show it on webcam wins a prize, or first person to correctly quote the last line in the movie, or something fun like that. And the movies can get progressively more higher-rated as the night goes on, since some people *coughmecough* can't watch R movies yet

Having things like events are a good way to do this. Game nights, movie nights. Holding contests, those could be things like... Sig of the Month, AC Town of the Month.

 

[Vex L'Cour]

Games like TBT V.1 which link into bells.

i like the webcam contest thing, but not everyone can do that
that'd still presumably be hella fun for those who can/do, though. if i had a webcam, i'd have fun doing that. :J

movie night was done by myself for like two nights, and aaron streams stuff occasionally. good fun for the two people who attended, but the entire forum won't be behind it unless there's some kind of embedding or something, i assume.

of course, i doubt anything will be done by mods/jeremy, so anything tbt wants to do will eventually need doing by tbt.

so.. make them threads, organize them events, make them ****s happen, guys. even if they don't get the attention they deserve (i'm reminded of the two participants in andyb's humble bundle giveaway), the ones who organize it have a bit more experience in the matter, and hopefully have fun doing so, as well.

I like Andy's idea. To have sig (or something else) of the month.
I think movie night would be fun too. Although, my relatives always come in and get me off of the computer at random times. I'm sure it would be fun for everyone else though. I remember watching The Nightmare Before Christmas with some people. But I was far too tired to watch any other movies .

I think contests would be the best, I can't think of any though >:l

 

[Brad]

DWEGTAHAPP (Did we ever get together and have a pizza party?) What ever happened to this guys? That seemed like a great idea.

 

[Jake]

Jeremy posting the TBT 1.0 farewell video on Youtube..

 

[Jake]

If the staff became more active, they could hold contests and simply award TBT Bells as prizes, that would boost it a bit. Then when AC:3DS comes out it's gonna be like this;

Spoiler: graph

Can't do a graph but you get the idea

 

[rafren]

Bring back the Arcade. And more active mods. *nooffence*

 

[Liv]

Contest Ideas.

~ Most original/best signature.
~ Most original/best personal essay.
~ Most original/best poem.
be back with more.

 

[twinkinator]

Bring back the Arcade. And more active mods. *nooffence*

I second the motion.

 

[Josh]

Okay, I'll make the poll later on today. So keep flooding with ideas.

 

[AndyB]

The thing is.. it's all well and good making up these contests etc. However, if there are little to no participants then it's all done in vain.
If things are going to be done they need to be accessable to alot of users, if not all of them.
And give proper awards to winners of these, don't leave it to being "the winners gets the satisfaction of winning". Having it at as little as a button, or badge to put in their sig.

If something like the arcade is brought back, the leaderboards there are well enough for winners like that.
Sig of the Week/Month... that needs to be a regular thing. It's up, posted and ready to go like clockwork.
Having active staff to post these contests, events etc. Even if it were to be dedicated users who did it, just so things were to run smoothly.

In short, we all need to pull our weight in order to make said things work.

 

[Josh]

Yeah, I see what you mean by prizes. Like when people say "cookies" no one gives a crap, also with TBT Bells, it's pretty useless atm.
I'm thinking of badges (That actually look professional) and maybe some gift cards since I have some money from selling online.

I would say to hold off on anything that actually costs something. Or leave them for the big contests/events, and then only if staff don't mind that you're donating the prize etc.
