Ok, first off I want to say this. I LOVE YOU GUYS! *hopeful grin* Well, I have three days left of school, so I have all of summer to be on here every day. We are going to get this site up and active and it will be great. Here are a list of things we are going to do. Let me know what you think about it.
- Packs- The whole four packs thing is great and all, but it is very restricting. Let's try this. We can keep the same packs, but they won't be the only packs. We will make up a number of different lands and then any member will be able to get his own piece of land and start a pack. There will have to be amends to the rules, but it will work out fine.
- Staff- As of now the staff members are the alphas and betas, but I am going to choose five members to be on the Staff. There will be the Administrators (2, including myself), Co-Administrators (2), and Moderators (2). This board will be made private and a password will be given to the staff. I will make a list of jobs for each person.
- Activity Checks- Monthly activity checks will be used to weed out any inactive members, keeping our site free of dead accounts.
- Advertizing- We really need to advertize on other sites so that we can get more members and grow.
- Layout- We need a new, fresh layout. Any ideas are welcome.
- Contests- Contests are fun. I have two contests to start out. The first one will be written. We need to write a good advertisement. I'll go into it more on the Contest post. The second will be a photo manipulation for a new logo for our layout. We will have judges appointed when the time comes.
Ok, so there's the beginning of a new, more effecient way of running things. What do you guys think?

Packs: I adore the idea of having more than four. (We also need to do something about the fourth pack, of which was left. - I guess we could just delete it, though, as you have the idea for multiple packs). The only thing that I am worried about it having too many... . Things might get a little crazy. I think there should be a limit. Of course it would be up to you.
Staff: Yeah. Staff members are always a good idea. I have been on too many forums without them. Lol. I also think it is a good idea for you to choose the staff. After all, some Alphas and such may not be too reliable. (Myself included. Please forgive me. . I have been a tad out of it because of school).
Activity Checks: Ah. These are a wonder. They really do help a lot. Besides, getting rid of the dead accounts is a really good idea. I would have to say that I am fully for these.
Advertising: Eh. I have lacked on that too. Lol. Still, you are right about this. We really need to get some new members in here.
Layout: I would love to make one. (That is, if I can get my other computer to work. - I am using a laptop right now). Err. I can try to fix it today. However, I guess you could look for one until then. Sorry I am so lame right now. .
Contests: Yeah~! I love these things. Lol. They both sound great, Regen. I can't wait to see them in action~!!!!!
Alright. I have one idea of my own: - I was wondering if we could start the forum over. I mean, I do not hate the way things are. However, starting anew might be a nice idea. We could of course keep the applications and such. Also, we could keep the main boards / lands. - Basically we would just restart the members. Everyone would be able to choose packs again.
I am not sure. I just like the idea of starting everything again. (I would really like to start Silver over with a new slate. However, I can understand if you all do not want to. ^^. - I just thought I would mention it).

About starting over, I like that. I'm not sure if I like Regen, she changed from when I first introduced her like three years ago... But I'm all for it.
Don't worry about too many packs. There will be rules. I think that there should be a minimum of 3 wolves before a pack is started.
We need to get everything set up, it will probably take me one to two days, but while I do that, someone should probably write a good advertisement and start getting around to different sites.

That should be exciting. I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks so. .
Eh. I'm glad to see you are as sharp as ever. ^^. You always have a plan.
I guess I could try writing one up. Of course I can not promise something amazing. However, I will do my best and post it here.

The starting over sounds good as I have the same problem as Regen, I've made Soul completely different to my profile and being the lazy slacker that I am (+ school like silver) I can't find the time *Cough* lazy *cough* to fix it up and as for coding and such ........ you'd be better off trying to get a mountain lion to eat tofu while skydiving

I'm oddly proud that everyone likes my idea. Lol. Anyways...
Eh. Regen. I have time to help and stuff. However, the one thing I can't do is make a layout right now. . Getting on my computer (with photoshop) is near impossible. It takes about an hour to load one page. Please forgive me. Then again, I am sure that your contest will be able to solve the problem, neh? Still, I am sorry about that.

That's ok. We don't have to change the layout yet. My main concern is the the way things are run. We can get to the layout later. ^-^
So if we all agree, I'm going to start changing things. I'll keep records of everything we have (board wise) so that if we decide that we want something back. Yea! ;D

Stupid lazy Soul! *throws stuffed paupo fruit toy at his head*. (Of course I am kidding. Lol. - Tough love, you know).
Yay. I am glad that you still trust me to help. Lol. - *sighs for past laziness*. Eh. I finally got my internet to work once on it, so I might be able to conjure up a layout within a few days. ^^. - I am still working on a layout/design for the advertisement. (Sorry for not posting that). Lol. - Family issues arose...- (Stupid idiots...). Err. color. Hmm...seeing as I always use it, can I have teal?

Thanks so much, Regen! Lol. I finally finished the advertisement outline. I was unsure of what you would want as the site description so I left it open/blank. Also, the one link that does not work is PLOT. Lol. I did not know what to put for it. Then again, you can change the links to what you think are important. I have just found these as the most shown on other forums. Lol. I hope it does not look too terrible. ^^.

Oh, that's awesome. I love the colors. Let's use that color scheme for the new layout. I'm going to delete all of the other layouts except the DS v. Black. Sound good? The other ones are...eh. Then we can just add new ones every once in a while.
Now, about the new boards. We need to think of some names for different areas. We can have four areas, North, South, East and West, then several different sub-boards within each major board. Then the different sub-boards can be claimed (We need to think of a different term than Claiming) by wolves(3).
Also, if anyone thinks of some rules that I may have missed, let me know and we will talk about it.

Yays. Lol. Glad you like it. . Deleting the old layouts; that sounds alright with me, if it is alright with you. ^^.
That sounds alright. Er. I cannot think of anything else. Save for ruled, that is. (Yeah, my brain is kind of lacking).
