WHEN THE MUSiC STOPS ! [wolf vs dog] - 1 review

[Crow Valkairi]

When The Music Stops is a literate roleplay that pits wolves versus dogs. Our plot begins with two separate worlds, Red Rock Rise animal reserve, and Sang City, that, for the moment, keeps dogs in the city and wolves on the reserve. This means a lot of IC boards, which can be quite a scroll, but we have combated this by having collapsible categories that will change bg pictures when new posts in made in the category. As the roleplay progresses, it will dictate how and when our plot advances. There is only one preset plot advance--that dogs will be kicked out of human society and dumped onto the reserve--but how it happens will be decided IC by how members roleplay.

We've been open for about two weeks (and this is a reopening after a remodel to v5), and we want to know what we can do to improve our site so that members will enjoy it even more. Below is our link, tell us what you think!

An interesting premise you have there, and it seems like you thought through all your decisions according to your first post there. However there area a couple things I notice straight away. First off, the text color in your side bar is different than your main forum text. I realize this is because you have a bright images fading out to the darker grey background color. While the black holds up well against the images when it slides into the grey it stands out awkwardly with the rest of the forum.

The text thing is minor though in comparison to your title bar images. I would not want to look at the board with a group closed together. Automatically a huge portion default to closed and... well... how do you like a string of 10 non-coordinated eyes staring at you? But without them closed the board is way too long. In v5 you can have any number of sub-boards... perhaps that is a better way to go, and would better separate out the RP sections. It would solve all sorts of things; of course don't go crazy and have it require 3 or 4 layers of sub-boards before you can post a thread! That would be a different problem.

Next thing about the title bars it is is very difficult to read the grey over the images on some of them; to the point of the text not even being noticeable due to the eyes staring at you. Maybe a fading of the background image would help in popping that text out a little bit more and maybe even solve the staring eyes thing.

However, overall it is rather pleasant to browse through and I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you Nori ! I appreciate that you took the time to look at my site and give me your opinion. It helps me better both myself and the site!

I took your advice and updated the site a bit. Hopefully, now, the site is a bit easier on the eyes (and scroll bar)? :3
