Occasionally, I ask for comments and suggestions on how to make the Enchanted Element community better. Well it seems to be that time again.
I am currently reviewing the Enchanted Element and see some changes that will be needed. In the next couple of months, there are going to be many changes from content, style, and even staff.
This is your chance to let me know what you think would appeal to your freinds and aquantiences, not to mention those travellers who happen upon the community to join. This is my goal to make the Enchanted Element the place to be, the best on the internet.
I value your input and would like to know what your opinion, concerns, suggestions and random ideas are. Please do not be afraid to suggest something, all will be considered.
What color would you like to see, what theme would you like to see, anything about the content, good and bad, you would like to discuss? Perhaps you wish to dicuss members and staff...this is an open thread, to discuss anything to make it better here.

I think we should look through some of the author boards and tv/movies and such. See which are active and decide if we should let them go..or keep. Also too we could take down maybe a few and then come up with new author's and such.
Oh, and ummm me still thinks it would be cool if someone that had the time maybe search around the internet for new and up coming author's in sci-fi and fantasy. Just about everyone has a website these days. Why not reach out to them and see if give a board and what not. They could also mention if they go to conventions and such that they are a part of the board.
Was thinking about that. What if we come up with a flyer or something like that and maybe people see if they have any sci-fi conventions or comics or what not. It's all pretty much the same crowd. See if could somehow spread the word around there. Maybe chat with a vender or something I don't know. I just know that there are at least a few in this area during the fall/summer time and it would work out.
Oh and with the flyers we could see if we could leave them at like comic book store's or fantasy/sci-fi hang outs. Much like a band would do if they had a cd or a gig. These are just ideas but never know someone may check it out.

Perhaps a new main skin that would bring in the newbies? Something that'll.. be like.. "oh my god!! its rocking my socks!"

ooh hows about getting a games Arcade, and the only way you can play the games in it is if you are a member of the forum with over 50 posts.... I know its not cool to 'borrow' ideas from other forums but this is a very popular concept on a few of the one's I am a member of.... not sure how you go about it though

@ Aaron....Those are some interesting ideas, I do think that it might be nice to find out about up and coming authors, I know that you were taling something about that when you were staff. If you would like to discuss it more I will be more then glad to brain storm with you and come up with some kind of program for it. I also think that the convention flyer idea is intriguing and has potential...perhaps establish some kind of affilaite relationship as well...I think this is a cool idea ...would you consider running it? .. @ Sci The Harvester of Sanity.....I am actually working on a skin, but I do have to admit, it is hard topping the current one...Trying to establish a scifi fantasy feel is not easy....I just hope it does knock the socks of someone...I just hope thier feet dont get cold. @ Shooshoo.... I actually have a arcade on the mothersite...but being as it is TEMPORILY down, I dont think adding a temporary arcade would be a problem @ Aaron again.... I would love to have a chat night, my only concern is would anyone even come... These are all great ideas and have potential and I see no reason why they can't be worked on...If you have any more ideas, Please post them now, afterall this is your community too.

I actually like the colours you have now as I find them very relaxing and they dont jar the nerves nore agitate the old eyes but I supose some new graphics would be nice, not that I'm saying the ones you have now are not lovely....

think you should maybe add a new lay out for those that want one but definetly keep this set up. I like the color scheme and shoo's right..doesn't hurt the eyes or wreck havoc on computers.

Is there any way to create sub-boards for some of the sub-boards? The t.v show area is getting toooooo big. Alot of those shows aren't even on anymore.
