::sigh:: why does it feel like qwest is going to be an admin? lol XD, anyways, a *real* journal wouldn't necessarily be good. i mean.. i have all them blogs and ****, but i don't use em, only use my journal here.. cuz it's.. a discussion type, and not, people commenting. it's just.. easier, for me, the way it is.

maybe adding games to the site? i know there are mods for forums, not sure if there's one for vBulletin, but yeah, that'd make it more entertaining to be here. or maybe.. add a computer tech section, cuz it seems a lot of people eff up their comps.

those are just some ideas, i'll prolly think of more at work,s o yeah, if i do, i'll post em in about 7 hours XD

That might detract from the already faltering forum involvement though, if we gave people games to play. Maybe someone should make a 'game link' thread somewhere, in which we could all post links of games online that we have found and liked.

Just a thought.

I think the biggest problem is lack of posting. Pretty much all the active members just randomly left or got banned for something stupid. There are very few new topics a day. There aren't any actual discussions like there used to be. I'm not sure how you would fix that problem. To have better threads I guess you'd need better members, which you really can't just decide to make one day.

Give aways are hard, because I am not made of money. If you actually supported the site can clicked ont eh banners that we have had in the past, then we would have money, and could give away stuff.

The store idea can't happen. There are laws, we can not print LP's name on anything in a effort to make a profit.

As far as emailing old members, welll we have done it in the past, and had nothing but negaitive response. Lots of people come to the site and complain about the junk mail they recieve.

Touching on the LPF Awards:

I figured' date=' but I think we should know what you guys are doing, especially if you are far enough along to have an "lpf_awards_july" account.[/quote']When we post them publicly you will know, you have no reason to need to know before hand.

Also, for legal reasons that isnt true at all. Linkin Park for some reason couldnt trademark their name, so anyone can make shirts or posters or w/e with their name and sell them.

I hope this doesn't sound disrespectful because I don't intend to insult anyone, but isn't this part of the problem? A few people have brought up the fact that the forum needs to be unified in community spirit and all that, but how does one provide an overall sense of unity when you make comments like this? I understand as Mods and Admins you have enough to do behind the scenes as it is and don't need all us 'noobs' pestering you, but it almost sounds like there's a deliberate divide set in place between those in power and the rest of us enjoying the site in relative ignorance. Like I said, I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes here, but if the whole purpose for the awards is to pick up the overall content and morale and incite more activity, and even introduce more members why not keep them posted every step of the way? It's tedious, probably time consuming, whatever, I have no clue on the technicalities and all, but a simple sentence here and there might keep interest peaked. This whole 'expect something big to happen in the next few weeks' thing that someone made reference to earlier is a perfect example... by now I'd actually forgotten about that myself and assume after a quick scan through this thread that these awards must be the promised 'big thing'? Am I wrong in my assumptions? *shrugs*Please, tell me to pull my head in at any point if you think I'm overstepping my bounds, but I just thought I'd voice my opinion. Afterall, technically that's the point of places like this, isn't it? People coming together and voicing opinions and so forth...?

But before I go again, I will agree that a 'store' offering LP merch may open up a can of worms as far as litigation goes. As for actual rewards? Some people seemed chuffed just having their names go green so give them a coloured tag beneath their name or something that says what they won as a 'prize'? It's simple enough, cheap really... pretty colours, can't go wrong... *grins* (I'm not aiming for sarcasm here, despite how it may sound. Unintentional).

Anyway, thanks for your time and for listening.

Take care and TTYL,

-Rav

That is only in England. As far as I know, it is illegal in the United States.

Well, Vash already made a thread announcing to the boards that the LPF awards are in the works...so actually we are 'in the loop'.

But you have to realize that there will always be a divide between staff and members, because the roles are different. Even though the mods and admins are cool people and our friends, they still have a job to do.

I believe in free information, but I don't think the mods and admins should be harrassed about it either.

That was what I was going to say. There is a difference between being a unified community, and letting the staff do what they need to.

It is not like we don't tell you everything eventually, it is just that some stuff doesn't need to get out till a certain time. i.e. the Awards, if we can we are going to start working on the awards, then we will have people trying to win there way in the the awards. The awards are to award people for there roll ont he site, no somebody who wants to win so is poster child for a few weeks.

I've had another brainwave!

What about adding a downloads section to the site?

The twist is, you have to be a registered and active member to be able to access it. Or you have to login again to enter it. Just an idea.

1) Bandwidth/storage issues. Offering media downloads is very cost prohibitive.

2) Copyright issues. No copyrighted material could be posted.

3) Contribution issues. Who's supplying the media?

I do like the idea, but there are already some very good sites that have media downloads available. This one would have to set itself apart to make it a success.

1) https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/ . They have free online storage. I was thinking that maybe a mod/admin could set up ONE acount for the whole of LPF, and PM/email the Account name + p/word to a member if they want to upload something.

2) You're right. None of LP's albums would be posted, with the exceptions of HTEP, and the Xero Sampler tape. Other rare audio could also be uploaded.

3) The Members of LPF would supply the media.

Ok, as suggested by some members I have sent out mass emailing to all the current registared member, letting them know there username and password, and the forgot password link. Everyone should have received that. The one that you all wont recieve is a one that I sent to everyone who registared but did no activiate there account. I sent usernames, emails, and activation links in that email so maybe we will see some new people on LPF in the next few days.

The Guitar giveaway really brought in a lot of people so doing something like that in the future would be a good idea. But I understand that you may not have the money right now which is fine.

I think having an LPF Newscaster would be really fun. It wouldn't be updates about the band, but about things that are going on with LPF. So if someone was gone for a week they could check out what they missed. It could either be in the form of a video or written out. I would be will to help with either.

I think we should have a Movie/Television section. That way it wouldn't crowd up the General Talk.

Those are my opinions :/
