Re: The NEW PACK WEBSITE

My intention of improving The Packs Den has always been: Keep the forum solution as the very core of the website Expand upon the user profile pages, as of functionality and fields Add a "Comments" section to the profile page (like dA, etc) Keep IRC as the core protocol for an online chat; ...

Re: Okay people how do we get these forums back up to speed?

The loss however is that there are a bunch of high quality threads with great answers that I would love to see staying and representing a good quality of posting level. Perhaps keeping some of the best "What would...?" threads to keep in that area? As I've mentioned, I won't be removing a...

Re: Forum Restructuring Ideas

Voting up a set defined idea sounds like a good idea to me, but how would it be different from the polling system the forum already has? I'm also wondering how are we going to define the ideas that go into the voting system, for example, I'm not the best orator in the world, if I badly explained a ...

Re: Wiki?

Hmm...I thought the forums were meant to discuss all aspects of werewolves. Wouldn't a wiki finalize everything and inhibit further discussion? The wiki would only be for fact-based information. It wouldn't on anything subjective nor opinion-based nature. For example, things regarding traits of wer...

Wiki?

Any thoughts on having a wiki, or would it be counterproductive? I was intending on the use of the wiki being for info on each werewolf movie/book/story/comic/etc, as well as any relevant werewolf lore. The only thing is that it would be replicate of what's already on Wikipedia, except for anything ...

Re: Okay people how do we get these forums back up to speed?

It's been brought up before as a complaint that everything has been talked over, several times over. So we could perhaps create a clean forum install, with a new structure; and leave this forum read-only for archival reasons. So, how receptive is everyone to the idea? Lastly, I'd like to have a pred...

Re: Is Pack Chat dead?

Yes, the IRC is rather dead. It would however be nice to have a specified IRC meeting date/time, to get everyone on at once, and get it alive again. Either a single day, or a predictable schedule would help bring it back to life; although, we may need some purpose or incentive for people to join in,...

Re: Long time no see!

I can always merge your previous account with your current account. I'd just need to know the old account's username, and see if there's anything on the old profile (like instant message accounts, personal website links, dA account, etc) that I can use to reciprocally verify your digital identity.

Re: Server Migrated

A few more tweaks to the forum theme have been made. Feel free to critique; and list anything not yet addressed.

Also I was thinking: should I keep the layout as stretching to the size of the web browser window (fluid width) or having it a fixed width where it doesn't expand horizontally?
