Um, random thoughts.

Heya, guys! I have questions here.

#1
Do you guys still want to continue the "Blog Translation" section, where we translate Shikata-san's blog entries? Our contributors who actually responsible for translating are gone, so if we want to continue it, I would need your help. Anyone willing to help?

#2
We have some additions to the Gold Members group lately! Congrats to everyone. But then I want to give something special to them and a new challenge. Anyone can give me ideas? I'm thinking to raise the post limit to become a Gold Member. Now you need 200 posts to get in there. I'm thinking to change it to 400 or 500, hehehe~

Thank you!

Em~ if you feel that the requirement to become a gold member is a little too lenient~ then prob you can raise the post limit~ I'm sure everyone will support no matter what decision you have come to

Haha, well, I just want to know what you guys think. It's hard for me to come up with interesting ideas, as I'm limited myself as well with what I can do here, so I thought to share this with all of you.

I really appreciate the thought of engaging us in making decisions~ *~<(^~^)>~* <--- ah~ you know this symbol right XD

Frankily speaking, I think it's not very hard to reach 200 posts. As gold members have special privileges, you might want to consider if it's appropriate to have so many members achieving that easily~ Just some suggestions... you might want to consider, like (1) raising the post limit, (3) Reducing the privileges of gold members (2) Coming out with more levels (for example, 200 posts = sliver, 300 = gold, 400 = plantinum, 500 = Palladium), and the privileges will increase with the ranks. Hope the suggestions will be of some help~ free feel to tell me what you think~ I'll help to brainstorm too XD

As do I, Phio-chan!

I like this idea (even though it'll mean I'll drop in rank ^_^;;). It may even encourage people to post more (since our most frequently posting members are all Gold members already.) On any other forum I'd be worried that it would get people all competitive, but I don't think the folks here are like that.

I have no idea how feasible or difficult it would be to implement, however. I don't want you working too hard ^_^

I too think that people here aren't competitive for things like ranks XD

As Ellie said and what i've mentioned earlier~ don't work too hard ;) Just tell us your thoughts and I'm sure all of us will try and solve it together! *~<(^~^)>~*

Thank you to both Noe-chan and Ellie-chan! *hugs*

Mm, I like your idea, Noe-chan. But it would be too many groups... So I think only Gold Members will have their own group and user name color. Any other ranks below it would still be counted as in regular member, but they will have different rank image. I'll see if I can do that, though. That means we need to create new rank images, hehe~

That sounds great, Phio-chan! It does sound less cluttered than having a whole bunch of new groups spring up. I'll help in any way I can!
