VIP is dying :/ come help save it

would anyone be opposed to another game happening here? I've been wanting to bring one based on The Hunger Games into fruition for a while now but I didn't know if people would go for it.

Omg we need more game events here. I mean, I'm not saying Mafia is boring, but we do need more variety in here! Tbh, I kinda want to add a Survivor type of event here haha.
 
The Supporter Challenge Club was fun, but the last round only had two members even care about it (and I ended up winning that round) and I think it was likely to blame on the Supporter Mafia overshadowing it.

The latest round has had like no-one being interested, so no offense Anna if you're reading this, but it's kinda hard to do these challenges especially when there's something more popular going on that will attract more people. I did find it fun occasionally though, but I hope that it might pick up again one day.

Also, nice to see Matt wants to bring his QOTD's back again. I always liked posting in those.

I saw that there's the QOTD, but what about a POTW (Poll of the Week) thing? I wouldn't mind setting up a Poll of the Week set of topics, and people can submit topics for future weeks. The topics could perhaps range from anything that any of PC's different sections do, such as something from D&D or even from Pokémon General, or even current events (Which seems to be D&D...).

Also, how about a VIP Member Appreciation thread? Do shoutouts to your friends and people that generally make you smile.

You should do something like movies or pop culture items for a POTW. I wanted to do that for the longest time for my blog, but as polls aren't available in blogs I scrapped the idea. I think it could be quite successful here - you should spearhead it!

Well, I'll perhaps get started on that, and based upon what questions come in for user suggestions can be used as future topics, or at least suggestions for future topics (And if current events fall into there, well, I guess that can be a thing). I'll start with something simple for the first one, just to get people's feet wet. I'll probably have it posted sometime tonight then, I have an essay to write first haha.

No rush! Just the fact that you're taking the initiative and wanting to change the pace of this forum is more than enough!
 
Team Fail said:
Ehhh, I just don't want to be ninja'd to my own idea like my suggestion of the Quote Thread was lol.

Also, I'm not sure, but do you have a [QOTD] prefix for your topics? Or do you type it in with the thread title? Perhaps if we're doing series like this, we perhaps can request some thread prefixes for them.

POTW IS TEAM FAIL'S IDEA

NOBODY TAKE IT FROM HIM

There. That should do it!

I'll make a request now to get POTW and QOTD added to this section. Normally I type it out, but I think it would look better if it's formalized.
 
Team Fail said:
Sounds good. Might want to have someone look into fixing the typo though:

[PokeCommunity.com] VIP is dying :/ come help save it

You should be fine now, I went to create a new thread and the prefix says 'POTW.'
 
Team Fail said:
Oh, that's from when you're viewing all the threads. It still shows POTD for me.

Edit: Funny enough, when you search for all your QOTD threads, the search prefix used is "vip_qotw".

Huh, I'll look into that more when I get some free time.
Eros said:
Wasn't there a thread where people would record themselves talking and post it? That could be done here or nah

Either way it's a good idea! Would it be like vlogging?
 
Eros said:
I suppose it could be, or it could just be voice notes.

Which actually reminds me, could a podcast or a monthly newsletter thing that gets distributed to the wider community be a good idea or no. Like obviously ran by supporters - I think it could be a good thing but we already have blogs. But then I thought that really doesn't stop people trying this stuff

Make a thread about it! See if it garnishes enough people into wanting to do it. The specifics can be worked out at a future point in time, as the most important thing is getting people to possibly want to do that.

Got it fixed - the prefix shouldn't be an issue now!

I love how before this thread, VIP is pretty dead, spurts here and there, then after this, a lot has really happened, we have new threads like the Quote Thread, QOTDs and POTDs, Mafia Season 2, like wow, I have never seen this much activity in this forum since I actually got access to this forum, which was like 3~ years? :3

This I agree with. I remember how dead the section was when I got my first glimpse in here back in 2012, and now it's actually getting decent activity which is such a huge turnaround. It shows just how much PC is changing and in a good way.

That's why I made it C:
 
Time to revive this thread, if I remember correctly their isn't a limit here

Anyway the VIP lounge is dead again, so time to brainstorm ideas again and try to bump up activity!
 
Yeah, there just isn't much use for a VIP forum. Most things that could go here got their own forum and while I love everyone who's donated, it's not really worth posting threads in here when they'd get more attention outside of this forum. u_u

But we could always just use it to spam cool Pokemon. I'll go first.

"image removed"

edit: omg i didn't read the thread title and thought this was the DCC so I felt okay spamming it and now I'm embarrassed but not embarrassed enough to delete a cute picture of Cherrim so *shrug*
 
We should make ourselves the Hollywood equivalent! Glamorous and striking a pose on the outside while dead and cold on the inside!

What? That's not a good idea? Oh, carry on then, these aren't the suggestions you're looking for.

Srsly though I have no ideas, TF you do seem to be making a grand effort! I myself will hopefully try to be more active here!
