proposal to restructure the board
Re: proposal to restructure the board
I think JT was just calling "Universe" part of "Universe 2". I can get behind that.
Arguably, RiD should go there, as it was the precursor to "Universe".
My arguement for putting RiD in the Beast Era was based on the toy design, and what little context the toys had.

We gave the toys context, though. RID2/MTMTE, baby.

I was talking about toy packaging and cartoon episodes actually.

I'd be in favour of the Mosaic idea, but the thing is, er, well. It needs art, see.Dominic wrote:I was talking about toy packaging and cartoon episodes actually.

Unless we just make it a prose thing, in which case, I'm all for it. We did that with Cybertron--instead of a proper RPG, there was only really a bunch of random scraplets and pieces. I can dig that, though, if we decide to do it.
Re: proposal to restructure the board
Last I checked, "Mosiac" submissions had to be comics. I can see the problem with artists though. I have to scripts I am shopping to artists now.

Re: proposal to restructure the board
Creativity board - this thing NEVER got use at Ben's, so I'm going to see if anything gets posted in the gen disc section or anywhere else before deciding.
RiD - is a separate and lesser continuity from Beasties, it'd be an insult to put it there just because it recycled molds from BE. And it was the precursor to Armada's existence, so I'm comfortable for now where it is. It's name-recognized, so I didn't want to just dump it entirely.
Universe - gets really complicated, I didn't want a Universe forum in both The Then and The Now (heh heh, I should have thought how that would get typed out when I made the board), and the name hasn't changed. Like G1 and G2 going together, I figure TF:U forum can carry Universe 1, Classics 1, and UniClassics 2. If not, we can make another board down the road.
Images - please keep in mind that we cannot be too blatant about using show or product imagery for the site's logos, that stuff is actually copyrighted and we have to tread carefully. Not too much, the law allows for "thumbnails", but there is a limit to the types of application I can put on here. I doubt anybody would actually do anything, but you never know these days, these are some litigious times.

See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?
Re: proposal to restructure the board
I agree about the "Creativity" boards. I am trying to get the "Mosiac" thing running for the hell of it. (I doubt it would create much traffic.)
RiD had contextual ties to the Beast Era as well, even aside from the toy engineering questions. Meanwhile, the Unicron trilogy was both contextually and mechanically different from previous lines.
And, what about the parts ID forum, "Transforensics"?

Are you aware you're spelling it wrong? It's Mosaic. I wasn't going to say anything, but there's other stuff in this post too.Dominic wrote:I agree about the "Creativity" boards. I am trying to get the "Mosiac" thing running for the hell of it. (I doubt it would create much traffic.)
Do we need a parts ID forum? How many of us are lame enough to not know which parts are which? Hell, 86 and I like to find missile ID images and just go through them. It's fun!And, what about the parts ID forum, "Transforensics"?
Re: proposal to restructure the board
Between my eyes and hands (diabetes and arthritis) getting worse these last few years, my spelling has generally gotten worse, as I am less likely to edit. Feel free to call me on this though, as I am trying to get better about this sort of thing.

And, "Transforensics" would be a place for people to post "what is this" type questions.

Re: proposal to restructure the board
Mmm. I was just curious to know if you were aware of the misspelling and too lazy to edit it. I know I'm too lazy half the time.Dominic wrote:Between my eyes and hands (diabetes and arthritis) getting worse these last few years, my spelling has generally gotten worse, as I am less likely to edit.

Yeah, but like I said--how many of us can't figure out Whose Missile Is This? on-site?And, "Transforensics" would be a place for people to post "what is this" type questions.
