Quick intro: Alright guys, so this is another one of my little pet projects, the first one being the subforum thread ads (which got some nice reviews - but I'm still waiting for others to make use of it). So the idea for this thread in a nutshell would be to more less unify everyone's introduction with their pictures and provide a linked index for quick look up.
While I could do this my self by hand, it would take forever, and each person wouldn't be able to edit the post concerning them (unless they were a mod). So, instead of doing that, I am inviting everyone to make a single post in this thread with a picture (or 2, no more than 3), a blurb on them selves (the set up we have for the introductions works fine) and any other information they might want to share/give out (a screen name, their website, their favorite threads - whatever). Then, I'll scour through the source of each page to find the post ID for each person and create a big alphabetically sorted index on the first page linking directly to each person's post.
Why am I doing this? Well, for a number of reasons really. I think it is great to know the people we are talking to, and get to know each other a little better. I am aware that most of this information is already available for most members either in their intro, the photo's thread, or their profile. However, despite having an awesome memory, I can't remember what everyone looks like, or their personal background - so this basically centralizes that information, and makes it super fast and easy to find whomever you want. It also reduces the overhead of new members in terms of learning about the people they start interacting with from the get go, and standardizes some of the info available on the participating members. (I also ran it by angelic snow angel and she liked the idea so xp )
But wait - this thread looks like you just ripped it out of a textbook! I want our picture book to be pretty! Yea - I know, me too. Thing is that it is rather late right now & I don't have the patience to make it all pretty at the moment. You can be sure I'll be coming back through here and beautifying the whole thing & getting rid of all the superfluous information. Also in the future if the thread becomes popular, I might run a design contest for the first few posts of the picture book. I also encourage each member to decorate their own post whichever way they like best.
You were advocating subforums, what's this doing in the main forum? Erm, well - I wasn't really sure where this fit. Despite it being a picture book, it's not strictly about photos. And while it concerns our member's real lives, it's more general info rather than what's going on with their lives. So, I just honestly didn't know where it fit best. I am perfectly okay with any of the mods moving to a place they feel most appropriate.
Future development: As I mentioned I'll be changing this first post up so that it reflects the fact that it is our picture book. I am also reserving a few of the first posts so that they can be used as needed later. An idea that I have for expanding the book in the future would be to include people's pets (they'd get a link next to the owner's name and their own post). Might think of a few others later.
Can we get started already? Absolutely. Keep in mind we might be changing a few details in the coming days, and you might have to make a few small adjustments to your post. The only rule right now is to restrict the number of pictures you include in your post to 3 max (to reduce clutter). Also, don't be discouraged from participating if you don't have a picture or don't want to post one. We still heart you and want your info indexed so that we can "stalk" you better xp .
Alright, so to get started, this is the info I'd like people to include:
(Feel free to arrange & format things as you please, and once again, forgive me for not making this pretty) [PICTURE(S)] name, nickname or preferred name, favorite {color, food, book, movie, tv show, magazine, etc}, hobbies & interests, occupation / school concentration, pets, a generic blurb about you (extra info).
Feel free to go above and beyond that, or if you find it easier, just copy your introduction from the intro thread.
Thanks for reading through another huge post of mine, Hope you guys like the idea and will enjoy the picture book. PCMX
