• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

If you were an admin here...

A lot of interesting people wouldn't care enough to join if they had to pass some silly test.

You always think that until you get older, when you realize how stupid you still were. It's easy to think you're ready, but...

...But on the topic of what I'd do if I were an admin here, I think I'd just bring back personal stickies, if at all possible. And maybe sticky the IM thread, since it's more of a utility and an archive than a discussion thread to be pushed back into the annals of time. I may have had a lot of aspirations in the past, but now that's about all I think I could ask for for the forum now.
 
If I were Admin, or a high ranking member of The Cave of Dragonflies Forums, I would make the following changes:
1) Add a Bouncy Mew style. I love Bouncy Mew style, I'd love to see it in the forums.
2) Create a "Pokemon Manga" board, as I am an avid Pokemon Manga fan.
3) I'd create a test thread locked to anyone not mod approved to view/post in it to test the concept of a "Mature Board" or one with laxer rules regarding coarse language and explicit fan fics perhaps art as well as news or issues. It still has to be tasteful, still within the rules, still has content rules (i.e. no explicit Pornography or Shock sites/not an Imageboard That Can't Be Named). If it goes down in flames and the community can't handle it, it will close. If the community CAN handle it a new locked sub-forum would be created. Note: I actually have no problems with the current rules nor do I have any works that would be posted because of this proposed thread, I just thought it would be a good option for those who feel the current rules ARE restrictive.
4) I would create a TCG board, as I believe that form of the franchise is grossly underrepresented at the moment.
Um... not sure what else I'd do but thats pretty much my main stuff I'd work on.
 
Bouncy Mew used to exist, but the database died a horrible fiery death and so did Butterfree's backups. Fun times.


Which pokemon manga?


... There are rules regarding coarse language? Locked boards (other than the mod ones, which are never posted in ever) would go down in flames pretty much immediately if they were publicly known. :( It'd be kind of silly anyway.
Just remember Rule 14 and the rest of the rules are somewhat optional.


There used to be a TCG league thing using Apprentice and Hamachi, but I got bored of running it. Also I switched away from Windows.
 
I'd probably be more active than I currently am. Actually, yeah... Yeah, I would be more active. I'd probably also get back into pokemon, too.

But then again, I've changed as a person since the time I disappeared from here, so I dunno. I do know what I would do, though... I'd make Minimal Dewgong not be the default style. Every time I come here, I'm blinded by -bright-. XD

... I just noticed I have a Notice that says people want me to be active. :<
 
I'd allow flaming to an extent. Seriously. Flame all you want.
Only because people do already flame in 'non-flaming' forums, just by saying "I see you have a very low level of intelligence" instead of 'You're stupid'. So why not be more honest and straight forward, at least. Instead of letting people's different levels of ability in expressing themselves in the English language prevail.

Not really. :P But I'd give it less warning points. Or what ever's applied in the forums when it comes to warnings. Because in many cases, the one who flames using words can be the victim, while the other is the aggressor and he is insulting this person just as much, or more, than the victim is. Only difference is he's getting around using direct insults with long, sophisticates sentences that technically only mean "You're a moron" or anything else.

So it's either making flaming receive lower warning points, or being more strict towards those kind of people. If I was an admin.
 
I would invite actual dragonflies to the forum and turn them all into staff members, annihilating the current staff by vanquishing them to the caves.

(And improve the server.)

If I had started my own forums, I would probably be an evil overlord...

This one though, maybe be a little more sarcastic (I would anyway), to the people I have a problem with.

For the ones here, maybe post more often? I know that they mostly lurk and contain virtual riots, but I have seen a few times where there were no mods on, so.

A number of us are invisible.
 
Yeah, they're jerks with their invisibility. Not that I've ever noticed a mod being invisible; I see invisible people as online.

But I'm not!
 
Or maybe you can't see the mods because they are regularly active, but at different times! Timezones and all that, you know.
 
What about that comment was specific to me? ultraviolet's timezone is way off from most of the rest of the boards'.
