...be that it be too hard t' navigate. BUT I PROPOSE A SOLUTION!
We can keep the format largely the same in terms a content delivery, but tweak it a bit. By that I mean making topics more noticeable 'n the general site more easy t' navigate.
me proposition, Cap'n Francis, be well within yer coding capabilities, I would think, 'n it would not be too difficult t' construct. Nor do I think it would eat up too many resources. Essentially, what best happen be that the site best be more graphically focused. Here's what I mean by that.
Imagine that the site be wiped clean. There be no topics, no crew... nothing. The site would be represented as a blank field (Which ye can choose different skins for the "floor"). Now, let's say someone joins. Say, Nastasia joins the site for the first time. A member profile will be made for the wench, 'n she'll have the wench own message board; pretty much like the current site. There will be a little flag going up on the right hand side a the screen notifying that there be new crew; when ye click the little notification graphic, Nastasia's name shows up. However, here's the thing: a little graphic will appear on the field. It will probably look like a little smiley face or something by default. Nastasia, however, could edit this; she could make it a little sprite representation a herself, for example. Or she could upload an image or something.
Anyway, when a user clicks on this little Nastasia graphic, the wench User Message Board pops up, in addition t' little buttons that can allow ye t' navigate t' different sections a the wench profile.
This will happen when every member joins; a default graphic will appear on the previously empty "field," that they will edit 'n make it their own graphics. When ye click on the "Newest crew" thing on the right-hand side, the user list will pop up, 'n when ye click on a name, ye will be navigated t' the User's graphic on the field.
The same thing will happen when a new message board be created; the creator a the board could edit the image 'n it will appear on the field. The thing be, though, be that crew will be REQUIRED t' choose one a five categories for the board when it be created: General, Off-Topic, Gaming, RP, or Groups.
Now that there's two kinds a graphics, when ye click on the "Message Boards" thing on the right hand side a the screen, all a the User graphics will go away 'n all the Message Board graphics will come t' the front a the screen; likewise, clicking "crew" will make all the Message Board graphics go away 'n display all the User graphics. 'n clicking on an individual User or Message Board in the list will navigate t' that graphic (Think a the Mii Channel on the Wii, 'n how ye can organize/manage/search Miis).
As for the message boards, instead a having the "ignore" feature, people already in the message board could, like in an online game match, vote t' "kick" a user out a that message board. In the end, this would make things more easily manageable.
so whaddya think
Also can they be killed? Do they share health with Flavio?
In the upper half a the screen, in between the left edge 'n the middle, there be a spot that Boo Boo best not touch
ye WILL have t' move around in the fight following that, but if ye can recognize where the adds be spawning ('n take full advantage a the wrap-around screen), ye shouldn't have t' worry too much
