Some Suggestions...

[Houka Ryuu]

Okay, here are some suggestions. You don't have to actually do it but I'm just throwing it out there.

I think it would be a good idea to have thread with a list of real life celebrities, anime characters, or manga characters that have already been used by the members for their characters. It would help prevent characters from looking exactly alike unless they were twins at birth.

As for the Weyrs forum, I think there should be a sub-forum for just the descriptions of personal weyrs.

As for the sub-forums in the Approved Characters, I think that there's too many. Maybe just have a few sub-forums like Riders, Normal Weyrlings, Defective Weyrlings, Hybrid Weyrlings, Normal Wherlings, Defective Wherlings, Hybrid Wherlings, Candidates, Weyrfolk, Military Personnel, & Civilians.

As for subjects when creating characters, I don't think that flit names are needed since a character may have more than one flit. So, maybe something like...

Rider/Weyrling: [Rank] [Name] of [Dragon Color] [Dragon Name] ([Age])
Ex1: Weyrwoman Faizah of White Surth (21)
Doesn't the example above sound better and need lesser characters than ...
Faizah - Weyrwoman/Whiterider - 21 - Surth/Reyna
Ex2: Weyrling Kiana of Gold Caleth (17)
Ex3: Hybrid Weyrling Nakia of Green Isath (16)

Wherhandlers/Wherlings: [Rank] [Name] of [Wher Color] [Wher Name] ([Age])
Ex1: Wherlingmaster Kye of Bronze Kyesk (29)
Ex2: Wherling Lakeen of Bronze Lakeesk (20)

Candidates/Weyrfolk: [Rank] [Name] ([Age])
Ex1: Candidate Alex Taylor (15)
Ex2: Weyrbrat Caevaniara (3)

Military Personnel: [Rank] [Name] ([Age]) - [Country] *Add (RET) if retired
Ex1: Sgt. Maj. Ammon Fredricks (64) - USA (RET)
Ex2: Chief Master Sgt. Josephine (42) - USA

Civilian: [Title if any] [Name] ([Age]), [Occupation if any] - [State, Country]
Ex1: Rafael Werden (37), Historian - Vancouver, CA
Ex2: Dr. Lorelie Cypress (28), Professor - AU

The Face Claim list I don't have a preference about, since I've never been on a forum that used one, until a few months ago that is (and then I don't use it anyway, but yeah). So if it's helpful, why not?

I like the subforum in the personal weyrs. -nods-

I mentioned this back when the approved characters subforum was made, but I agree that right now there's a lot. And I think your examples are getting a bit out there in numbers as well. I don't think we need a separate subforum for normal weyrlings, defective weyrling, and hybrid weyrlings. Those could just go in one subforum. Otherwise I think it's getting unnecessarily detailed.

And for the character's thread title, I don't think the fire lizard names are needed either. I originally didn't put Luna's into Ku'rt's, but changed it for the sake of organization. However, yeah, characters can have multiple flits, especially with Lorelei's flitter flock. I don't even think the age of the character is needed in the thread title.. -shrugs- But that's just me. However, I like putting the title/rank/occupation before the character's name. -nods-

Now that you mentioned it, yeah, I guess there could just be:
1. Riders
2. Weyrlings
3. Wherhandlers
4. Wherlings
5. Candidates
6. Weyrfolk
7. Military Personnel
8. Civilians

That's pretty much how I divided them up as well.

Face Claim: I was thinking about putting one of these up in the beginning, but I noticed that a lot of members simply used their own descriptions or random anime images that I just didn't recognize, from any mainstream anime anyway.. So I just forgot about it. If you'd like one though, I'll certainly put it together. ^-^

Weyrs: Yes. I like that. I'll put that in. I only wish this would have come about before people started roleplaying in their weyrs. .-. lol

Accepted Board: I do agree with you, it's a little ridiculous. >>; It was such a hassle to make all those sub-boards.. I knew it would be a lot, but I was just hoping it would make it more organized. Mostly for me, since I keep all the records. ^-^; But I totally see your point. -sigh- I suppose I'll go and change them then. >-<

Profile Titles: That was also for my own easy recognition and organization. However, now that I'm a little more organized in my hard copy of the records, I can see how it's really just unnecessary. :/

Thank you for your suggestions guys. I really do appreciate it. I'll work on them right now. :3

Okay, might as well use this thread again. So, I has a question, if the riders and weyrlings can have personal weyrs and be able to customize it, can wherhandlers and wherlings also have their own place where they could post a description of their... umm room or den or whatever it is that wherhandlers call their place of abode?

[Topaz]

Of course they do. They're just the same as weyrs, and that's what I call them. Some of the members think that they're called digs, but I have yet to come across that term. Any wherhandler/wherling room description/rp thread can go right in with the riders and weyrlings. :3

[Houka Ryuu]

Ah, okie dokie. ^_^

[Houka Ryuu]

Yesh I know I shouldn't be double posting here, but how else will you know that there's new content in here?

Anyways, I just wondered why there's no table for the sprites. The names would at least line up better with the sprites that they belong to.

For example.

---

Laskath	Fayeth	Caleth

Or

Gorth	Yurith	Wrath	Elonverrilth	Ayrayith

Or something like this

Uffizi	Boomerang	Zune	Mari	Orn
Zeus

Another lovely idea, Houka. x3 -goes to implement-

[PhazonDragon]

I didn't know proboards had table codes! Shows how much time I spend on a proboards forum... I really should play with all those codes someday.
I'd like it if it was possible to remove the borders. :X the different sizes of the cells ar annoying, but I can put up with them if that isn't possible. -has nothing else to say-

[Topaz]

lol Phazzy. I don't know anything about removing the boarder or changing it in any way.. But yeah, all the dragon/wher/flit lists are in tables. xD

[PhazonDragon]

-plays with it- neeever mind. You'd need HTML to do that. ._.

I has another suggestion, in the Guide to Dragons, a link to this site, Dragon Healing, www.silvertree.org/~romany/dragonhealing/main.html Might prove useful. At least I thought so when I read at least a third of the content. It was rather long and quite detailed in my opinion. The only difference would have to be the dragon size since the author based the dragon sizes (metres) stated in The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern.

I has another suggestion. I think we should include IC Date and time in our threads so we know when stuff is happening. The IC Date maybe as specific as you want or just a Month and Year. The IC Time may also be specific or just mention whether it's morning, noon, or night in your first post. Having those in our threads would give us and visitors the impression that time is actually passing by in our weyr. *shrugs*

Um.I also agree about putting an In character timestamp on threads. I was getting a lot confused reading some threads, since it got a little bit hairy about the times.
