Please read over this list of things I will change in the next couple of days. If you find anything that you would like to change or add please Quote this post, and add anything you want in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS so I can find it easier.
Im going to leave this up here for about a week while I start on it. I will cross out anything ive already done. Im also going to be posting this in the Guild Section of the forums. If you would like to do it there, i will put a link to go there at the bottom of this page. Please by all means put your suggestions, Im trying to make this guild better for everyone, and I need Your help.
Make these thread in main forum, Rules ~ one stickied rule thread for the main forum, and one for each sub-forum. The rules in the main forum should be the overall guild's rules, while the ones in the sub-forum should state what is expected in that particular sub-forum.
Bump/Spam thread ~ can be put in the main forum or the general discussion sub-forum. I don't recommend it to be stickied, but a link in the rules could be posted instead. But that is up to you.
Meet the crew ~ should be stickied in the main forum. It could have one post with a list of each crew, their position, image of their avy, and something extra like their likes/dislikes, etc. This thread could then be used for members to ask questions about the guild, its crew, and give guild feedback & comments.
Banned members ~ you could have a stickie in the main forum to list all banned members and why they were banned. You could also allow members to post asking any questions for a ban and maybe ask for an unban.
Check Room ~ could be stickied in the main forum for lurkers to post in and/or to have members who won't be active to post in to let you know they will be away.
Guild Homepage-Homepage
Redo the homepage, making it easier to read, (different color scheme) and add sections to it, such as "What we have to offer" and a list of all our subforums, and anything anyone will need to know before joining.

Redo the homepage, making it easier to read, (different color scheme) and add sections to it, such as "What we have to offer" and a list of all our subforums, and anything anyone will need to know before joining. ~ I THINK A GUILD SHOULD HAVE CERTAIN COLORS THAT PEOPLE CAN EASILY IDENTIFY THE GUILD. AS IN WHEN THEY SEE A CERTAIN COLOR ELSEWHERE THEY ARE REMINDED OF THE GUILD. WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE YOU IS TAKE THAT LOGO IF YOU DECIDE TO STILL USE IT AND MAKE IT AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT COLORS, THEN USE THOSE SAME COLORS TO WRITE YOUR TEXT.
Redo the Description, making it more to the point of the guild. And label it "About Us." ~ EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THEIR HOME PAGE. I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST JUST ADDING THE LOGO THEN ADDING F.A.Q.'S. THE QUESTION COULD BE IN ONE OF THE COLORS USED IN THE LOGO AND THE ANSWER BE IN THE OTHER COLOR USED IN THE LOGO, IF YOU DECIDED TO DO THAT.

Remove Application as we no longer need a specific type of Gaian to join, everyone deserves to join that is willing to post.

Got new from the ForumsUnexplained Mystery Before I suggest anything, is the guild going to be the same type of guild? Article De Amor Somewhat, it will be the same qualities as in ; Literature, Etiquette, and High Standards, but we are going to allow anyone to join if they can follow these qualities. Unexplained Mystery Article De Amor I'm trying to improve my guild before I actually start inviting people, and I would like you to read over this and see if there is anything I should do. Everything is hectic right now, but by the end of this next week, everything will have its place. Thank you for your time. Please read over this list of things I will change in the next couple of days. If you find anything that you would like to change or add please Quote this post, and add anything you want in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS so I can find it easier.

Staff Center, make a list of detailed rules.Staff Center
(NEW)Projects, make a list of detailed rules.Projects ~ I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF HAVING PROJECTS AS ONE SUB-FORUM AND A STAFF ROOM FOR ANOTHER SUB-FORUM. I THINK IT SHOULD BE COMBINED INTO 1 SUB-FORUM.
Directory for Subforums, nothing to be changed in my opinion.Directory ~ I SEE NO POINT IN HAVING A DIRECTORY FOR THE SUB-FORUMS. THE TITLE ITSELF SHOULD BE SELF EXPLANATORY. IF IT ISN'T, I'D RECOMMEND HAVING A STICKIE IN THE MAIN FORUM TO ALLOW MEMBERS TO SEE WHAT EACH SUB-FORUM IS ABOUT.
Marketplace, add an example showing the format needed to post a correct thread.Marketplace
Investments, make an example, and give more detailed rules.Investments I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN HAVING A SEPARATE SUB-FORUM FOR THIS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A STICKIE IN THE MARKETPLACE FORUM.
General Discussion, make more detailed rules, give example of format to needed to make your own thread the right way.General Discussion
Guild Rankings, make a couple of rules and announcements about there meaning.Rankings I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF THIS SUB-FORUM. ANNOUNCEMENTS CAN BE MADE VIA GUILD ANNOUNCEMENTS, WHICH ARE SENT TO ALL MEMBERS CURRENTLY VIA NOTICE AND ALSO REMAINS TO MY KNOWLEDGE A PART OF THE GUILD THAT EVERYONE CAN RE-READ WHEN NEEDED. I THINK ONE STICKIE PER MAIN FORUM & SUB-FORUM SHOULD BE GIVEN.
Chatterbox, give a set of detailed rules to follow.Chatterbox SINCE THE GUILD IS LEANED TOWARDS ACTUAL CONVERSATION, I'D LEAVE THIS ONE OUT AND JUST HAVE A GENERAL DISCUSSION SUB-FORUM. AND IN GENERAL DISCUSSION, ALLOW ALL SORTS OF TOPICS OTHER THAN VENDING/EXCHANGING.
Entertainment, nothing for now.Entertainment ~ AGAIN, THIS WOULDN'T BE NEEDED AS ALL ENTERTAINMENT DISCUSSIONS CAN BE POSTED IN THE GD SUB-FORUM.
Computer Programs/Tech, add more detailed rules.Computer ~ ANOTHER ONE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE IS REALLY NEEDED SINCE IT COULD GO IN THE GD SUB-FORUM.
Anime/Manga/Comics, add more detailed rules.Anime ~ SAME AS ABOVE.
Announcements, nothing at the moment. ~ AS I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, I DON'T BELIEVE A SUB-FORUM FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS IS NEEDED FOR ANY GUILD SINCE THE MASS ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE NOW A PART OF GUILDS AND ARE KEPT FOR FUTURE REFERENCES.
Guides and Resources, add more detailed rules, give layout for making your own guides. ~ ALL VENDING TYPE GUILDS SHOULD HAVE A SUB-FORUM WITH GUIDES ON VENDING & EXCHANGING.
Contests, add more detailed rules, and layouts for hosting your own contest.Contests YOU COULD ALSO ADD AN EVENTS WITH THIS SUB-FORUM.
Outside the Comp News, and more detailed rules, and add layouts for making your own thread.News, Outside. ~ ANOTHER ONE THAT ISN'T NEEDED AND CAN BE ADDED IN THE GD SUB-FORUM.

I also think you should have these threads:

LillianSaire I agree about losing the yellow text on the guild home. There are a LOT of subforums, consider having some empty? Too many subforums spreads out activity, so a guild that doesn't have enough activity to support them will become less active. It looks like < and > are used to created a heirarchy with the subforums. If a few are cleared and given a blank or '.' title, they might act as separators that will improve that organization.

LillianSaire I'm not certain on your organizational structure but maybe something like this. ( I think spaces might not work any more for subforum titles, so I will use '.' and strike) In bold are the things spell check caught. You might want to consider taking out or adding periods to forum titles so they are all consistent. Not changed: If the subforums need a directory, especially more than a thread in the main forum, they just might be too complicated. If it isn't too difficult to move the threads, maybe switch 'staff center' and 'announcements'? Announcements seem important, and staff centers usually exclude most members. Looking around the guild, each only has 1-2 threads. Maybe only have the main for each category open, and then name and unlock the others as needed? Be careful with this though, moved threads don't count towards the page counter (at least not last I checked) so so threads will be more difficult to find at times, but only the oldest. >>>Staff Center (NEW) Projects. >>>Directory For Sub-forums. >>>Marketplace »Investments.>>>General Discussion » Guild Rankings. »Chatterbox>>>Entertainment »Computer Programs/Tech »Anime/Manga/Comics >>> Announcements.>>>Guides and Resources >>>Contest sOutside the computer.
