Revive Ranch Story Options

[Celia]

When you go to the forum home, why are all of the Harvest Moon topics pushed down towards the bottom of all the different forums? I know that a few of the topics appear once you become more of a veteran, but this is a Harvest Moon forum, so shouldn't that mean that all the Harvest Moon topics should be more towards the top? :/

I have to bring this up as well.  Whether we're posting lately about HM or not, it should be up top.  Otherwise, no one's going to make it a priority.  People bound to sign up are coming for the HM area for the most part.  Signing up, then all the other stuff appearing, then scrolling all the way down to find the HM part, is probably turning them off. (even if you can minimize the other stuff.)

Not to mention, having it change like that can be overwhelming to some even though they don't realize it.  Especially many of those who are partial to the Harvest Moon franchise.

The first thing they should see, is what they had seen as a guest.

Then they can scroll and look at all the other goods.

Many newer members, at least the ones that get past the sign up, stay in the HM area alone until much later before moving on to the other parts of the forums, if at all.

The forums layout should consider the long-term, active members, and all their loyal goodness, after all they keep the place up alot, but it should also consider snagging the newer members, who could possibly lead the HM discussions themselves.

^I'm in agreement with this. I, personally, came for the community, but not everyone does. More people come for harvest moon information than they do the community. Someone will sign up, go to the harvest moon area, talk there, meet people there, then maybe/eventually move onto other boards that they didn't get to see as a guest and meet the more community-oriented members there.

Sounds good, I'll make the adjustment.

[Crystal Talian]

Whoa. Looks nice! I got lost for a second there, though. Thought I wasn't logged in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[ZBoy]

I just wanted to pop in and say I'm really glad that we moved it up. It truly reflects on the main idea of the website.

[Twilight Wandere...]

I agree. Makes more sense to have it there. We're HM, guys, and although we have a loving community, we encourage people play HM and not stay for the talking aspect, I think... X'D

I was kinda thinking of something. What if we Group Play whatever game is seriously lacking in the Wiki? That might be fun. Helping the site while playing a game.

I hate to agree with twi, but that sounds like a good idea. =o

I was actually sort of thinking that, but didn't want to force work onto people...

[Kozunai]

So then, what game is lacking the most?

[Celia]

Ahaha, Twi.  Would you believe I'm taking notes on AWL...?

I didn't want to refer to my old papers, so I started over with new ones to add to the wiki since I'm playing it right now.  I should actually be ready to add some stuff later tonight (much later if it turns out I am) or tomorrow morning.  I'm also going to edit some other pages to fix up, then, too, while I'm there...

I was going to mention that to Kozunai, so he could take down some stuff for the Special Edition version.  But I always forget to mention it. I am now. Koz, get to work!


We do need to Group Play one that doesn't have much information next time to add to as well, too, though.


Koz: Umm, I don't think Puzzle de Harvest Moon has anything, or Sunshine Islands. I'm trying to think of pages that are completely blank... I think Cute has stuff on it's page, but not much.


And, yes, the Train move was very nice.

Shaddup Jason. D;

Kidding. <3

Usually the spin off titles like Innocent Life and Puzzle de Harvest Moon - as mentioned - are lack luster in info.

So yeah. I think that would help. I've been meaning to expand my PSP repretoire, so I may be getting those soon. Those almost never have nothing since HM is mostly Nintendo based. D<

Celia: I believe it, as I had been too. I'm glad you are. :]

HMR: Well, not necessarily. I mean, you could just at least take notes, like Celia is doing, and then you could pass it off to someone that has the time and want to fix the Wiki. I'm sure there's quite a few people out there like that. I know I will be once I get my computer back. >=|

[Ichigo]

:D I'm loving the shift upwards with the HM threads as well..

In other words: me gusta!

[Suiko]

Aw man now I have to scroll down a little more each time

Eurgh...

[Ichigo]

^ You're more of a buzzkill than Buzz Killington!

[Noviwan]

alot of the DS titles are lacking like Sunshine islands which I'd be happy to do a lets play in

[Jason]

Eurgh...

If you don't have interest in the HM forums, there is a tiny minimize button on the right of the categories.

[Baby]

I wouldn't mind doing a play through of something.

[Twilight Wandere...]

While we do want to expand what we have, we should also pay attention to what people own.

For starters, we may say we need more Innocent Life info, but if only, say, three people have it, then... well, that's not that great.

But then again, there's also prices. Maybe certain people could go out and get it...

Truely, I think the dedicated people would go out and make this happen.

Maybe we could have a groupwide HM play, and set certain people to play certain ones?

[Crystal Talian]

If we're going to or thinking about that, then I will go ahead and say that I have:
AWL
AWL:SE
AnWL
TOT
AP

I figure listing what people have is a good way to start. That way we can figure out what we could potentially cover.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

I've got:
AWL
MM
AWL:SE
IoH
FoMT
SI
AP
SNES
DS

Off the top of my head.
