haha member #516! you joined when cb was barely one month old! pray tell me your experience here at cb!



hmm, thats interesting. id imagine the aesthetics came third, after the functionality and the community. if i can make a killer blog, yet it isnt functional, or no one will see/find it, what use is it to me?



which is very ironic, because im sure thats how myspace and xanga first started. trendsetters wanting something 'unique'. yet look at what they are now! you should read 'the tipping out' by gladwell. its a good read.



i cant promise when, but one of these days ill take a serious look at the ofrums and come up with a better orginizational structure. but i cant say when, since after cb3, ill be working on a... well, even bigger project. =)



that was my general idea too! but i guess must change with change. =)

dang. page5 when i just finished page 2. =X

HAHHAHA

Lose some forums, awesome.

I agree. A lot of people here don't act their age.

Mods need to come up with a plan instead of just hacking off forums. It would become choatic. And difficult to manage the old threads.

BlogRing comes to mind. That site has so many forums and its so digustingly organized that there isn't much activity there and it's more boring than Nas' last album.

BR organization is weird. and creepy.

and their actual post thread formats are even freakier!


damnit ok no more bashing them..I remember the BRvsCB debacle.

come on now, your sounding like a making a band 2 contestant, getting your similes all mixed up.. NAS last album was FIRE!! if it was condensed into 1 cd, and some wack tracks taken off.. i would say solid 4.5/5

here ill correct you.

more boring than Nas' last album is INCORRECT. Did you mean
more boring than Mase and Llyod Banks reading a long novel to you*?

^ That's not just boring, that's torture. Cruel and unusual punishment.


Interesting turn of phrase, but what you said is extremely convincing. I agree with you.

That place scares me in this weird way. =X

Haha I remember when Heather posted there bashing them. XD

How 'bout this...

Delete the subforums that lack activity (except for the writing forum), and organize entertainment.

Its a shame that quality topics in the entertainment forum get overshadowed by topics about celebrity gossip.

*Wasn't feelin' Nas' last album. It just didn't do it for me.

I completely agree.

mmm.

i'd say put things like cars in with sports.

and stuff.

a merge pattern certainly could be found.


and yea, i think interests should go down to 4-5 forums.

(who needs food anyways? if you want to talk about food, you could go to a specialized food forum...)

(anime- could go into a subforumed entertainment under books and movies)(yes, seperate anime and manga)

yea...

someone go bring it up in feedback.

and i think we should be much more lenient on off-topicness. off-topicness is quite fun.

Haha. Well initially he is very nice, but now acts "mean" to others. :P Man back in the day...

I should go look up those old topics Do you guys ever go through all the topics you made? Jut click on yoru username and click "find member's topics" :D

Time really flies... I'm almost at my 2 year anniversary with cB. Things have greatly changed, but I'm glad that there's still elements of cB thave have remained unchanged. :] Gosh I remember when I used to have all the time in the world for cB and I was online 24/7! Hahah

I believe only the older members know of this, but haha remember that dr3amer guy? Hahhaha :P PWNed. ;] Good times good times.

I'd have to say that despite all the drama (and how much of the frequent cB members seem to flock to it lol), after all of it being resolved, I think it really betters the community because it would be boring without it. I don't like drama in general, but if we were all one happy family, it would be slightly boring. I personally think that any controversies on cB, regardless of how minor they are, can always be somewhat relevant to life in general. :]

Hahah back in the day when I really wanted to be Official Member. Man... It's not fair... I still wanted to be Official Member. :[

I wish we could sub divide the Entertainment forum right now >_>

heres how i would like to see the community center be formatted. cause look, we need active participants in order to have lots of forums, and right now we dont have many active participants.

- Introductions
- The Lounge
- Entertainment
... Music
... The Big Screen (TV, Movies)
... Misc
- Interests
... Debate
... Writing
... Fashion (lounge?)
... Technology (lounge?)
... Sports (entertainment?)
- Pictures
- Relationships
- Boys Locker
- Girls Locker


wow. go listen to your c-dep or whatever


anime got Topics: 382 · Replies: 9,079
which is one of the least ammount in the interests section
compare that to Fashion or Debate or Writing, and its not even close

Yeah, I agree...I mean, createBlog is a BLOGGING community, not a food or car or sports community. We should really just focus on the blog aspect and some arts and off-topicness.

*borrows a Zapakuto, katana form, and gives evil grin*

Let's play. Grrr.

^ as long as we condense intersets and move some of it to entertainment.

Actually, there's been a lot more activity in the anime forum. In fact, there is an extreme closeness for a lot of the people that post in there. If that forum were to be merged, we'd be sad otakus

wow. that was a lot of pages to read.

i like justin's idea about not just cutting away forums, but merging some of them somehow...
but i don't like the age division idea because that would create more divisions in the community and plenty of the people on here either act older or younger than their true age.

That doesn't look bad at all.

Books
Hobbies

should go under entertainment

which are under misc

There have been a lot of people wanting a book forum.
