This is not another one of those "I was this, and this, and this, and you need to stop doing this" kinds of threads.
Theory11 is an amazing example of how quickly an online community with semi-mature members can come together and make a name for itself. However, I believe that it is still in the infant stages, and has a lot of room to grow.
I know there are already threads like this, however, they have become full of somewhat irrational demands, and have lost value. I, personally, have designed many websites and have had the opportunity to join in several administrative positions on forums, etc. in the past. I understand how difficult it can be to meet the needs of your members, while trying to meet your goals and your company's goals, all the while hoping you can somehow stay sane in this crazy process.
If you are going to post on this thread, I hope that you will type correctly, and submit positive, reasonable suggestions for ways that the staff can improve YOUR experience on Theory11. I'll update the list below with ideas suggested by you guys that I deem rational, reasonable, and acceptable.
Please don't post if you're going to be immature.
Things to suggest:
- Retail sale of certain items (i.e. playing cards, books, etc) [Note that they may or may not legally be allowed to sell certain items.]
- Contest ideas (Include rules, time allotment, and rewards. Keep it reasonable.)
- General improvements to the site and/or forum.
- Anything else that you think is a reasonable, realistic suggestion for the staff.
General Suggestions/Improvements/Ideas:
[ 001 ] Making the "track my submitted media" page more accessible. I did not know that this page existed until given a link from someone else; perhaps a link should be added to the sub navigation menu on the media page?
[ 002 ] 1-on-1 releases: I, personally, see no need to rush a 1-on-1 every week. I'm not saying that the 1-on-1s have been lacking quality; I find most of them very useful and usable. However, it must put some kind of pressure on you guys, and from what I can see, some members are unhappy with the recent downloads. I suggest that you only release 1-on-1 downloads on either the 11th of each month, or every two Fridays.
[ 003 ] Mentalism effects: I'm sure a lot of the magicians that come to Theory11 perform a ton of card magic in their routines, however, having a more diverse selection of tricks would be nice. We understand that it takes time, effort, and money to create new effects or variations on effects, and we just want to keep the idea of mentalism in your... mind
.
Contest ideas:
[ 001 ] Be the first to submit a contest idea!
Retail item suggestions:
[ 001 ] Wynn Icon playing cards. I'm not sure where you'd get a massive amount of these, however, kardwell.com sells them.
