Cudan pointed out that we needed to make sure these names weren't taken (was doing that later but realized it needed to be now xD Derp), and with some research we've started pulling names from the list (none of the newly suggested ones have been checked yet and I haven't finished the first list yet). I don't want people confusing us with others (and possibly making them angry), and we don't want to battle copyright issues if it's a company name. >_< Sorry guys, but Living Pixels has been crossed out. D: If you could research some of the names to help us sort through them faster that would be appreciated.
Edit: There's also a message at the bottom. xD
@Vanadis That's kind of what I was hoping to do. xD Making a theme from one that already exists is easier. o3o And thank you for your application!
Ah, thank you for letting me know. So far a medium/darkish color might be our best bet. ^_^
@JoeJoe11 Zetaboards isn't out yet, was just saying what I thought. xD Definitely considering pros and cons of each. :3
@LeslieM25 <3 yaaaay!
@Spookshow Thank you! I hope it wasn't too much work. xD Was mainly so people could avoid saying the same thing if the front page wasn't updated yet (I edited that part too to make it more obvious).
@ironknight35 Happy to have you on board! =D
@PeaceSign101 I received a lot of emails from interested people, so we have quite a list of applications already. xD
And really? Interesting. :O I'll definitely take a look at that. If you want to show us an example you can do so!
@spackichan I'll keep that in mind! I was thinking more of just lighter colors rather than actual pastels, as the colors are so hard to see sometimes. o-o
Made an update about Living Pixels. D: Can't use it sadly. It belongs to a company and I don't think anyone wants to deal with that can of worms....xD
I'm not sure exactly how many we'll need for html (and like Vana said we need others), but feel free to apply for that or a mod/admin! From the applications so far we have more USA than any other time zone, so that timezone may actually help.
@ColorMePink LOL! Need a Lol for that but no button ;-; Thanks for the suggestions! =D
@Socallucyfan Yay! =D Thank you, glad to have you on board!
@IncomingVirus Ohhh! I remember glimpsing that username before. Thank you for contacting her!
Once we weed down the options, have more discussion, and of course after more people check in, then we can start holding a formal vote. Right now we're just getting a feel for what people want in general, then we'll start narrowing it down and then finally to a vote for everyone. Of course, we may have to change that when we start making the forum as an idea sometimes doesn't go through. xD Like all pink sounds fabulous on paper and then you put it together and it's just awful. LOL! That, or we could decide on a name first or use a test website and then just test out the themes and let people take a look and decide from there. I'm not sure how we'll do it yet, just trying to focus on the first steps. xD
@Evergreen226 Any experience is helpful! Those colors actually remind me of fall. =D Trying to figure out how to paste it on the front....ummm... Maybe a link. Yesh. xD
We will have a logo/banner, and Joe even suggested we hold a comp for it. ^_^ Thank you for the suggestions!
@lialia54 Of course! I've been adding everyone to the list. I didn't separate them by game, if that's what you were wondering. ^_^
@Meeshelby Thank you for reading the thread, but it was mainly for ideas, buuut it does give you insight into how people feel. xD
I completely agree about the bouncing, which is why I'm trying to get people to come with us. All of Sims 3 seem on board so far (except for one and one on the fence), but sadly, most of Sims 4 is not (I can't tell if they're ignoring the tag altogether or just don't care about the future). I'm not sure how that will affect your decision at the time, but hopefully Sims 4 will eventually make it's way over (they most likely will if the forums get worse).
The issues are not obvious like other places on the internet, where the continuous abuse spreads to even people who aren't on the forum and even becomes it's own legend. Think of EA being famous for only caring about money and ignoring the customers, but then consider other companies where the issue may be hidden and not as obvious to the public, so no one is wary (like Jagex, aka Runescape, but it's starting to become more known). (heck, we're not even allowed to talk about things like this, which is a ridiculous rule).
Even people who aren't in the modeling forums have seen the issues. The best person I can think of is probably Rflong7 http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/profile/Rflong7
I see them talking with others all the time about some of the issues. One thing that is common is the banning of good people but the trolls going free. Other people I've seen commenting have decided to leave the forums as well because of the same and other reasons.
It's easy to see what people think by visiting the "Forum Ideas & Feedback" and several other areas like it, especially when a forum change comes about (like the buttons being removed).
Anger/resentment/etc. isn't affecting our decisions for how the forum is made. Lol. But if you mean that we're miffed and done with being treated this way, then yes we're a little upset (and I already listed the main reasons why we're leaving). I can't speak for everyone, but I do know most of us are calm and just want out of this cage as fast as possible. We're not causing problems or trying to start anything, we just want out before this gets worse.
Noted! As I said before to Joe, some didn't like the idea of placing them in one, and Sims 4 doesn't seem to like interacting with S3, so that is why we were originally deciding to split it. :sweat_smile: So far the prefixes seem to be winning.
Great! Glad another person has html experience. ^_^
@MariTomKaulitZ Go right ahead and apply. ^_^ I tried clicking on that code and it ran off to the search function, so I'll have to look at it later. xD
@GITTE2001 Glad to have you on board! =D Right now we're just voting by talking among each other. Once we narrow down the suggestions (I am tallying them when I can), we will hold a vote.
I like some of those colors though! Thank you!
Hopefully that's everyone! I have a lot to do today so will be back to finish updating. (If anyone would love to help gather the suggestions while I'm away, please feel free to do so. xD)
We're still missing some format votes as well (do you want building? another section that has nothing to do with sims? What?), and I would still like opinions on previous things. A simple copy and paste and then "Yes/No" next to it is perfect (especially the names, right now we have a lot of suggestions for names). So far I'm assuming that nothing talked about is just a general "No" for that person, so no tallying on it. xD
