Board Thread:Wiki Improvement/@comment-5518179-20160122013513

After observing the practices of other wikis and seeing how well they manage to keep their community together, I thought out some plans and ideas for what we could add on and change to this place. The first idea is a complete makeover of the wiki, adding in some better backgrounds, becoming less negligent about the seasons and things like that, and taking advantage of newer technologies as they arise, this could let the place look better and draw some newer people in.

Second off, we need to update the policies, we have a couple new staff groups added (content moderators and discussion moderators), and I'm sure some people might want to relocate their groups, etc, as far as promotion goes we got plenty of admins and mods to go around. We could also use this to loosen up on certain protocols and add on more, such as fan games and maps.

Then we need to get more active people in, try to draw in people from Wikia, maybe closening our relationship with SNN if possible, and perhaps even drawing people from outside via roleplay groups or game sites with the use of gaming groups like on Steam. I was thinking we could have it where we play a game as a community a certain day, Sinday Sundays (Cards Against Humanity), Team Fortress Tuesdays, Minecraft Mondays, something like that.

I'm also thinking about spicing up the chat by bring on a bot to  spam it add in some chat games that some friends and I made, and not to mention I'll be returning to my work on Sonic Defenders, once I can fix this stupid InvalidImageError I keep getting when I install SDL.

That's all I have going on in my head, what do you all think? Feel free to approve or collaborate, I'm open to suggestions.

TL;DR: loosen up on policies, make this place pretty, make a Steam group and play TF2, and bring back "Maid-chan"
