In other words… in the contextual box that appears on the forum, the box that shows some information from the user (taken from their profile data) we could also add a new field: a “status” field.

We could display that under their nickname, all in order to share what are we doing or thinking (related to Key of course).

Examples are: “I’m reading Kanon for the first time” “Lost in Rewrite!” and so on…

What do you guys think? I believe it could be interesting and fun and maybe easy to implement.

My 2 cents.

HTH,
warmest regards amigos,

P.S.: Example, in your case would be under Emily or maybe above it. Again, just like a “mood/status” in Skype style or Facebook style. I believe that may add value to this great forum.

To be honest, you could do that in your bio.

The problem with implementing it as a field is that the overall UI isn’t designed for it, which means it’d have to be squeezed in somewhere in your settings, where people would forget to update it… and at that point, it wouldn’t be much more than an extra field under the bio.

Like, I totally get what you mean, but I don’t think there’s a good way to do it on a forum, or a very good idea. It’d have to be updated too often for what the UI makes quite comfortable.

Alright, whatever you guys think it is the best. I’ll keep trying to drop some ideas from time to time. Thank you for the forum! I know it requires love and dedication. :slight_smile:

Just keep in mind that there’s only so much we can do. We’re not developers of the forum software, we’re merely users of Discourse. I’m sure there’s certain modifications we could make if we really wanted, but that’s usually a big ask, and it all takes time and knowledge and manpower we don’t have.

If you have suggestions for changes to be made to the Discourse forum software, you can pose them to the developers at https://meta.discourse.org/.

Yeah, I can make plugins for Discourse no problem if there’s something that really should be one, bust most ideas that have been posted here are things that would be useful not only to us, but to anyone who uses Discourse - thus I’ve referred them to Discourse Meta.

Modifications in the form of plugins aren’t /that/ hard to make, but they come with a maintenance burden, and should thus be made only for something really, really useful that would justify it.

I thought it would be a good idea but no one seems interested so I guess I’ll try to reformulate and re propose later. If it get enough attention making personalized rules would not be too hard and we could use the webside roll 20, a virtual tabletop, to play on line, I’ll try to talk about it with others and see if anyone is interested. With your consent of course, If you find it inappropriate I can just drop the idea.

Wondering if this place is big enough for a “Community Meet-up” topic or something. Like, I know that people going to AX are planning to meet up somehow and they could use it to set things up with each other, maybe even share pictures of their meet-up.

I personally have already met other Kaza members over here, so I could use it as well for those reasons.

If we do have one of those topics, I’m still wondering whether it would be “one topic per location/event” or “one big topic for all meetups”. What do you guys think?

#42

It’s called the events category! :wink:

#43

So the rule is to make a topic everytime there is an offline meet-up?
What if we just wanna meet-up, for no specific event? :stuck_out_tongue:

#44

New topic! A meet-up IS an event. The events category is for official events, kaza community online and offline events, anything.

I want to start a key song competition event or better yet, I want to realize one of my dream, a thread to sample contless voices to make the YO-SHI-NO fan song in real life.

This is a thing that has happened and will continue to happen!


We’ll definitely do YO-SHI-NO at some point, @Aspirety and @Bizkitdoh already sung it too.

Why don’t we have any interactive games on here ? We can have a “Name that Key character” game every once in a while. And since this page is about Key, why don’t we have “Character of the day” stuff ? I think every Key character should be respected and have a day dedicated to them, just a thought.

#48

We do, its called their birthday.

Not all Key characters have their birthdays told. And also, I remember Akiko’s birthday passed a few weeks ago and no one even celebrated

#50

Well, why didn’t you celebrate it by posting in her topic?

I personally don’t feel much of a need to have a “character spotlight” and I don’t celebrate fictional birthdays either, so that’s my excuse, at least. If I have an idea about a character, that’s when I talk about them.

#51

Cause I was expecting an admin here to do it.

#52

That isn’t the job of the admins; it’s the job of the members who want to celebrate such birthdays. There have been other members who do that, y’know!

A post was merged into an existing topic: Key Birthdays!

I’m sure this has been mentioned, but a “Remember me” button for the forum would be really nice.
