CB died. Options

[HeartOfPandora]

Tbh, I feel like CB's design focus is dying. The queue must be violently ill or something, 'cause there sure as hell aren't a lot of layouts being submitted and even fewer are making the front page.

I used to check every other day for inspiration, now I hit it up once a week, if that.



_{Also, I didn't know where tf to put this. Kthx.}

[brooklyneast05]

do you have any suggestions

[HeartOfPandora]

Any suggestions? Makeover. New features. Mass advertising.

Ya gotta make it feeeel cooler.

But then, we need whatshisface to do root shit, right? And he's never around? /shakes fist

I submitted a rather horrible graphic as a joke not too long ago. Queue was empty when I submitted it, and it took a week for it to get rejected. Maybe new and impatient users are discouraged by the amount of time it takes for their graphics to get accepted/rejected?

[HeartOfPandora]

^maybe no one wantedd to sound like a dick and be like this and that suckss. ?

I got no issues being that bitch. I woulda written a lot of lulz in the rejected message.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

No, it was a shock image. I did it to f*ck with the design staff.

Actually, now that I think about it, this kind of behavior might have to do with so much of the design staff stepping down.

[brooklyneast05]

design staff never gets the props it deserves

[none345678]

Way to ruin CB CJ. f*ck.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I do my best.

my suggestions?
the top people who controls createblog
make a twitter, and update every time theres a new layout submitted
advertise CB
make a tumblr, start posting stuff there
people can reblog it, and people will check this site out

if these are good ideas, lets do it!

[karmakiller]

I think the twitter thing was brought up before. Maybe not, idk. But it's easier to just come to the website to find out what's new than go to another website and then come here anyways, y'know.

You wouldn't believe the horrible stuff people submit on there. Sometimes, it gets discouraging to go through all those bad graphics and rarely accept anything.

lol oh the queue. I remember when I was MS staff and first went into the queue I was like I don't know why people would submit photos of themselves.

The J Man already took the Twitter name and clearly we can't get in.
And some other bitch (or maybe Jun again) stole the Tumblr name.

I'd totally do that shit, though.

[shawtiegotem]

well i seen it, he only has 2 tweets
you can put "TheRealCreateblog" or something like that

and tumblr could be just like that.

[HeartOfPandora]

We could just do "f*ckyeahcreateblog" because it kicks ass.

[brooklyneast05]

but what would we post...i don't get it

[HeartOfPandora]

^ Good point. But then, I don't check some places unless I'm prompted too.

[shawtiegotem]

but what would we post...i don't get it

my guest is, stuff people has been submitted,
graphics, updates, stuff like that

and alot of people won't come to this site less it's interest's them
so posting stuff on tumbr, people will be interested about it and come
and no one reads the announcements...not in a bad way, just people are lazy

I could not agree more. just give the login to all staff.
even though trolls, suck, we should try and get a bunch of newcommers!

[none345678]

I think the whole point is that more people would be exposed to it. Right now the only way people find CB is through layouts

[Maccabee]

maybe we should just advertise the forums! cause the forums arent just layouts or myspace stuff. in fact, we rarely talk about that.

[shawtiegotem]

twitter and tumblr should both have createblog in them.
advertise about the design support, graphics, etc,
and web help. cause myspace is dying. seriously

i think we should do this!!

[mipadi]

I think there are ways we could make the site more up-to-date. RSS feeds for layout stuff, for example. An RSS feed for forums. An interface so someone could make a mobile site for iPhones, etc. All this is entirely doable...but Jusun is the only person with the power to radically alter the site.

[shawtiegotem]

well lets still advertise the site. see tumblr has over million people on it,
at first, should try and follow alot of people, post some of these wonderful
graphics people made from createblog, on tumblr people can "reblog" the posts,
so all of there followers can see, if they like it, they would really go on the blog, and see that the tumblog is dedicated from createblog, they'll come to this site, we should start now, and tumblr has a submit box, so if people from there want's to submit something they can do it on tumblr, and with the staff here being able to post stuff on there too, we could make it to one of the top tumblog's. so we could put more of createblog on google.

now if jusun could come back, we should ask him to preview not just layouts,
but tutorials, and graphics, on the font of createblog.com, if he ever came back.

How do you make and submit a graphic?
I'll commit to the cause, as soon as I find out
What to do.
