Hi DGMA staffs, I would like to suggest a new Forum to be created for Forum Members such as Introduction, Discussion on themselves, their lives, Birthdays, some topics that are concerned with talking about members. Meaning a seperation from the General Discusssion to have new and existing forum members be more familar and interactive with each other. The current General Discussion has many old threads (4 pages), which are can still be alive and active. The Forum is also quite messy to have many topics created, some members might not know whether the topic was created before.

For your consideration.
Masterori
There is no need for a whole new section this, you can create a topic in the general section or the forum games section. Sides this topic exist and pinned for a reason Get to know DGMA members a little more.

But Masterori, the forum is disorganized. Members have to jump from forum to forum to post and some who wished to create new topics, would not know whether the topic is created before or not. Or maybe create a sub-forum within Introduction forum so that any topics can be gathered in the same area.

I don't think creating more forum sections is a good idea. The forum is alrady big as it is...and there is always the "Search" function if you need to find a topic or whatever.

And how is the forum disorganized??? Each section fits into a specific category that is easy to understand. And jumping from forum to forum is a common method of forum posting.
lnstinct
^ He doesn't mean the forum, though. He's just saying that the thread Masterori pointed out was disorganized, since people post multiple times in it, and its....way too tedious to search through all the pages for all of a specific member's posts..

Maximal was a section where people make topics, just about themselves. Maybe....so that when people come in here, they're not terrified about waiting to see whether or not they'll bite their heads off....?

If, Maximal, you could kindly elaborate on reasons why you want this section made, we might be able to come across a decision faster.

Unless, if I also seem confused about this, please bear with me and explain slowly XD
Masterori
I think I can see what your saying but more sections will make this forum too big in terms scrolling up and down.

It might be possible if I ask asura to make it a sub forum in the intro section but then people will be confused where to post their intros as what I think you wanted is what should be included in the intro.
Maximal
Well, sorry for the confusion caused. o_o

Hmmm, simple explanation: Transfer the all threads relevant to the same topic into one place.

I.e.

A new forum section created for Forum members (D.Gray-Man Forum Member) would have 2 or 3 sub forums:

"D.Gray-Man Anime Message Board > D.Gray-Man Forum Member > Introduction" would contain threads from new members to introduce themselves and for others to welcome them. Maybe first 5 newest members would have their thread pinned for a week and after that brought down.

and

"D.Gray-Man Anime Message Board > D.Gray-Man Forum Member > Getting to know others" would contain threads such as "Where are you from", "Color of Iris", "What's your first name", "Favorite color", "What's ur blood type", "Traits and Flaws", Talents, etc ...

and

"D.Gray-Man Anime Message Board > D.Gray-Man Forum Member > Lifestyle" would contain threads such as "Favourite Sports", Favourite activities", "Cooking and Baking", "Favourite Sports", "Favourite Food", "Goals in Life", "Greatest Acheivements", etc ...

Wouldn't this be more interactive?

The General Talk Forum would still retain the common question topics such as "What are you doing now?", "How are you feeling?", "What are you happy about?", "Wishes", "Where are you going today?", etc ...

It just gave people a feeling it's more easier to orientate themselves and navigate through the forum. Finding topics and threads would be more easier, wouldn't it?

Masterori
One problem with that newer member will NOT know how to navigate around the forums it's a nice system you have there but cause too many sub forums and harder to navigate around and harder for mods to keep to track of everyone one, while in our current system it's more of a wider range of things in one space. Requires less navigation around the forums bit more messy it seems ( but I don't find it messy at all ) but it's easier for newer members too look around seeing what we have to offer

And some of the things you listed would normally be in the intro already else I think the threads in the general section is a better idea
Maximal
Yes, I admit it would take a lot of works for the staffs. It's kinda like an office doing reshuffling and reorganization of various departments.

There is room for improvement for this idea and perhaps can start with moving "Get to know others" to Introduction. I haven't got the chance to work on a full proposal. But in any case this is for your consideration. C=

The Man on the Moor

drove out of Newtown and went to begin my search for the mysterious man on the moor.There were hundreds of the old stone huts on the moor.Barrymore did not know in which of them the mysterious man was living.I had seen the man on the night when Sir Henry and I had chased Selden,so I decided to start my search near that place.

The path I took ran past Mr Frankland's house,and I saw him standing at his gate He called to me,and invited me to go in and have a drink with him.He had been arguing with the police,and was angry with them. He began to tell me about it.
wow power leveling,
'But they will be sorry,'he said.'I could tell them where to look for the escaped prisoner,but I am not going to help them.You see,I have been searching the moors with my telescope,and although I have not actually seen the prisoner,I have seen the person who is taking him food.'

I thought of Barrymore and Mrs Barrymore's worried faces.But Mr Frankland's next words showed me that I did not need to worry.

'You will be surprised to hear that a young boy takes food to the prisoner.The boy goes by at about the same time each day,and he is always carrying a bag.Who else can he be going to see—except the prisoner?Come and look through my tele scope,and you will see that I am right.It is about this time each day that the boy goes by.'

We went up onto the roof,and we did not have to wait long.There was someone moving on a hill in front of the house.I looked through the telescope and saw a small boy with a bag over his shoulder.He looked around to make sure that noboay was following him,and then he disappeared over the hill.wedding dresses,

'Remember that I don't want the police to know my secret,Dr Watson,'Frankland reminded me.'I'm too angry with them at the moment to help them.'

I agreed not to tell the police,and said goodbye.I walked along the road while Frankland was watching me,but as soon as I was round the corner,I went towards the hill where we had seen the boy.

The sun was already going down when I reached the top of the hill.I could not see the boy,and there was nothing else in that lonely place Beneath me on the other side of the hill was a circle of old stone huts.In the middle of the circle was one hut that had a better roof than the others,so it would keep out the wind and the rain.This must be the place where the mysteri ous man was hiding!I would soon know his secret.

As I walked towards the hut,I saw that someone had certainly been using it.A path had been worn up to the door.I took my revolver out of my pocket,and checked that it was ready to fire.I walked quickly and quietly up to the hut,and looked inside.The place was empty.
wedding dresses,
But this was certainly where the man lived.As I looked round the hut,I knew that the mysterious man must have a very strong character.No other person could live in conditions as bad as these.There were some blankets on a flat stone where the man slept.There had been a fire in one corner.There were some cooking pots,and a large bowl half full of wa ter.In the middle of the hut was another large flat stone which was used as a table,and on it was the bag the boy had been carrying.Under the bag I saw a piece of paper with writing on it.Quickly,I picked up the paper and read what was written on it.It said:'Dr Watson has gone to Newtown.'

I realized that the mysterious man had told someone to watch me,and this was a message from his spy.Was the man a dangerous enemy? Or was he a friend who was watching us to make sure we were safe?I decided I would not leave the hut until I knew.
Final Fantasy XI GIL,
Outside,the sun was low in the sky.Everything looked calm and peaceful in the golden evening light.But I did not feel peaceful or calm.I felt frightened as I waited for the mysterious man.

Then I heard footsteps coming towards the hut.As they came closer,I moved into the darkest corner of the hut.I did not want the man to see me until I had looked closely at him.The footsteps stopped,and I could hear nothing at all.Then the man began to move again,and the footsteps came closer.A shadow fell across the door of the hut.

'It's a lovely evening,my dear Watson,'said a voice I knew well.'I really think you will enjoy it more out here.'
