How about a forum area that we can make posts per Game series. Say we have a FF, Zelda, Mario, Chrono Trigger, Harvest moon topics in it. And we can discuss the games and float and brainstorm pattern/craft ideas in them?

I noticed a few posts made my the mods, such as people being awarded pattern maker badges, etc and thought to myself, there should be a little thing at the top of the forum that has news that only mods can edit.
This like: new challenge started, voting now open, awards, and other things of note.
That way no one would miss the voting polls, or come in late to a competition, which I have seen some people do before...

Just a thought :D

A great idea. We could have a news/announcements board, and/or make announcements global (meaning they would appear in the announcements section of all boards). There are a bunch of phpBB mods for this kind of thing, we should look and see if there's any really good ones that would do a good job :D

I was thinking more of a global announcement, I got the idea from another forum actually, it was just a three line white space at the top of the page with a small sentence, little link to it and the date posted. I would be surprised if there is ever more than 3 news bulletins at once... :/
Glad you like the idea though :D

As we have a new pattern request section, should we also have two "official pattern maker" badges, one for each?

Could you also ake the mods a different color for their name as well? With Johloh not around as much it is hard to tell who to go to for probles/suggestions/etc.

Not sure if it's strictly necessary but could be interesting! Encouraging people to make patterns of all kinds etc :)
On the same subject, do you (and indeed everyone) think there should be some sort of Pattern Maker ranks - for 10+ patterns, 20+ patterns, etc?

That's a good idea, when the mods are online our names look just like everyone else's. Changing the colour would be a job for johloh, though, as I'm pretty sure that requires admin privileges.
Also, there's the link at the bottom of the board that says "The team" - that could be used until the colours are changed :)
