I think we should update the news more. its the same news evry day.
I dont know what news is going to be there, but it just feels repetive(spell)
-
it's just humorous news
-
Actually...This is not a bad idea. And it has given me an idea that I'll have to discuss with others.
-
"Red Blaster is the only guy that can make you BLAST"
"There was once an unknown alien named Chuck"
"Alexo is the troll of the day"
"c00ld0c, is the cool member of the day"
Just a few examples how the new humoristic news should look like.
(Most of them are bad I know :P)
-
Yeah, like when we got a new theme.
No updates on news.
Which there should be.
-
"DP IS A TWISTED GUY"
-
"SWEGTA is a meth dealer."
-
"Check me out on YouTube SWEGTA"
"C00ld0c26 is about to mod the fuck out of ya"
-
Just my 2 cents but the news should really only be used for actual site news or other noteworthy news rather then random funny stuff. I tend to take site news pretty seriously and never really use it to joke around since there are other areas of the forum intended for funny random stuff.

I think it should be serius news and funny news, the news right now arnt so serius.
jsut sayin :P

I was thinking it could be better used to promote areas of Bully Board.
Ex...."Check Out the Multi-Player Mod" .....Stuff like that.

My point exactly.
Forum news tickers and so on were created for just such a purpose. To use them for funny stuff is pretty much wasting them as they can be used for better things.
-
Yeah..... As funny as Dave wishing he could be as amazing as Chrissy, it's not really note-worthy news whatsoever.
-
Well, a large part of this will probably be made up of newly released Mods, no doubt. But other areas of the board could be rotated in as well.....
"Check Out the Multi-Player Mod and others in the Modding Section."
"Home of the longest Bully FanFic on the Planet - The Bullworth Never Ending Story."
"Watch Member-made Videos like 'Walkers' and many others created for the Bullworth Life."
"Post your own Bully FanFic in the Community Stories Section."
"Find Bully Missions, Cutscenes, Errands, Walkthroughs, and more."
"Search through 'Hints, Tips, & Cheats' to help navigate Bully."
"Read of our Members own personal experiences with Bully."
"Listen to character dialogue in the Auditory & Video Voice File Sections"
"Visit the Bully Board Galleria for all sorts of Bully Art and other FanArt"
"Post favorites in the Movie, Music, and TV Sections"
What I can think of right offhand....Mind you, this is not necessary for us, regular users know where everything is at....Rather for visitors to the site to see as their first look at the top of the title page.
Fact, it should be re-named "Site News" as a first step.
-
^ But it doesn't have to merely be limited to "Site" news, considering the fact that new and worthy news of Bully's upcoming sequel is not about BB itself. I'd say "News" is alright.
-
Look, if Bully 2 is ever confirmed and / or released, it will be 'Site News', you can bet you ass on that.
-
I get that it would be news for the site, but what I meant was that "Site News" is pretty much suggesting that the only news displayed on Bully-Board will be activities or information LIMITED to only the site, not OUTSIDE of it.
-
How about no news
-
The overwhelming preponderance of what is to be posted there (99%) WILL be site news, so it only makes sense to title it that. Logic.
-
@ Chuck and everyone else...
Here is what I suggest as this is the most logical thing to try...
How about starting on the first of the new year we select one news worthy topic from each of the main and active sections of the forum and have that added to teh news listing and basicly swap out old news with new news say....once a week or so.
This will keep things in that fresh since that is the part of the forum that most people see the first before they scroll down to see everything else.
The thing that would be a great thing would be to have a automated news letter that people could choose to be part of or not that would auto email the news headlines for BB to members signed up for it and that would actually help a lot with more activity on the forum as well as spread the word around about the latest happenings in all the forum sections.
This way each major section of the forum gets its "screen time" and it all would be done equally and no single section would be say...given unfair attention like say...the modding section getting most of the news while the general section gets barely a mention...etc and this way it would better promote activity in general on the forum and help make new members more aware of the other areas and what discussions take place there.
Just a hint since I used a news letter system on my clan forum and it was a big success and allowed us to grow not only fast but it kept everyone informed on teh latest happenings on each corner of the board.

Chuck is right.

How about starting on the first of the new year we select one news worthy topic from each of the main and active sections of the forum and have that added to the news listing and basically swap out old news with new news say....once a week or so.
I'd say, rotate stuff (like I suggested on the last page) once a day. New things could be added, or old taken off, at any time. Stay with just one item on display, that way it is different each day in rotation. I don't know what the current rotation is, but assume it could be set to rotate each day.
The thing that would be a great thing would be to have a automated news letter that people could choose to be part of or not that would auto email the news headlines for BB to members signed up for it and that would actually help a lot with more activity on the forum as well as spread the word around about the latest happenings in all the forum sections.
We formerly on the old board had a "Newsbot" that funneled in gaming news. It was a read-only section all by itself....But this is something different ?
This way each major section of the forum gets its "screen time" and it all would be done equally and no single section would be say...given unfair attention like say...the modding section getting most of the news while the general section gets barely a mention...etc and this way it would better promote activity in general on the forum and help make new members more aware of the other areas and what discussions take place there.
I don't feel a place like the Modding Section would get 'Unfair' attention, a good part of the board activity lies there. About half this board doesn't warrant any "news" activity, they are there (or came to be there) solely because they were requested at one time or another (like Movies, TV, Music, Harry Potter, etc) by members at the time. They are just basically places, like the General and Games Forums, for members to post stuff in, outside of Bully-related content.
Just a hint since I used a news letter system on my clan forum and it was a big success and allowed us to grow not only fast but it kept everyone informed on the latest happenings on each corner of the board.
I would have to see such a thing, or a demo of it somewhere, to understand your concept fully.

Well....I can link you to a old copy of my clan forums if you want to see what that system basicly was...complete with full admin rights so you can explore all of the settings my forum had.
Keep in mind though....the forum system I used primarily was phpbb and NOT smf like BB uses and I used a complete custom setup that took quite a long time to create. Also used custom security as well.
-
Your old clan forums are inactive now, I take it ? I would like at least a look-see at it.
But before we get too involved, I'd like to just fix the heading "News" here first, by rotating the site news, and see how that works out. I don't have the access to do it. Plus, if anything new were to be put in rotation there, an Admin would have to do that anyway, so that would have to be PMed to you. I think I had 10 likely things back on the last page we could try out, on a 1-day rotation, 1-item a day, that would last 10 days and only repeat 3 times a month. All the other stuff on there now is nonsense, and the only 'News' items are 3 years old. I'm not looking to add to anything there, it should just be wiped and started over.

News: You want news? Here's news. There's nothing to see here.
Who changed the news? :P
