So, I made a board, and I want user input. I'm trying to optimize the site's beauty, as well as usability. If you guys could check it out, that'd be great. It's still under operations, so everything hasn't been placed. That's where your opinions come in handy ^^ wolfvalley.freeforums.net


let me know what you do or don't like please! Constructive criticism is welcome!

Hey! I've been checking out your site, and realize you're under construction so I'll skip over that. Everything seems to look great, you have an amazing user base that keeps the spirits high and looks welcoming to new members.
WHat I found a bit confusing as a roleplayer is that you have a board for roleplay, and a thread per pack. I've never seen it done that way and I'm not sure why you do it. It seems to me that a forum where users can thread their characters with others separate from the rest of the pack would be more successful than one that has them all thrown together into one thread.
I'm not saying that you have to change to be successful, because that system may work very well for you. I just don't understand it.
My suggestion would be to separate the packs into categories(or at least into boards) where the members can make their own threads to move their characters plots along more smoothly.
Otherwise, like I said, the site is very welcoming and seems to have an active and friendly member base. I would gladly join if the board system wasn't so frustrating to me.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback ^^ I'm glad the site looks nice. I've thought about different ways to seperate the packs, but they all seem weird to me. I couldn't understand really how you would do it, so if you could better explain, I'd happily listen. Once again, thanks for the helpful feedback

For instance, you could create categories for your different packs such as

Pack A

Pack B

Pack C

Then for each pack, create their territories as boards.

Pack A

• Territory 1
• Territory 2
• Territory 3

Pack B

• Territory 1
• Territory 2
• Territory 3

Pack C

• Territory 1
• Territory 2
• Territory 3

Then, the members of each pack will be able to post their threads in whatever board they please on their territory with whoever they wish to join with them.

Does that make sense? It'd be easier if I could actually show you but I'm not sure how I'd be able to do that lol

I would do it that way if there were more territories. There are currently five, one for each pack and then a universal one. If each pack had like, three of their own, I'd do it the way you said.
