Credit where it's due
Route Seven was created by Zuli The skin was created by Dorothia this includes the Board Mod, Navigation Bar, Chatbox Toggle and more. Thank you to kimset from RPG'D for the tabbed banner. Board Icons were found on Axialis. Pictures were found on Google, Zero-chan and any other graphic resource sites. Everything else ranging from applications to posts belongs to its respective member. Please message a staff member if we forgot to add you to the credits. Battle system, evolution, and traveling are credited to Shula
Firstly, you have no suggestions area! I couldnt even post this somewhere useful!
Secondly, how are guests meant to talk to you? You dont have a cbox or chatngo tab! We cant use shoutbox, you have it set to members only which means no guest can ask question and most will leave the site then!
Finally, dont put fakemon in the top of the site. People dislike fakemon as it is but if you can draw them in with a good plot and good world and then offer fakemon then you'll do a lot better!
I would recommend a Aff table as well as its great for advertising, and i would advise a new site like this to being doing like 10 adverts a day and to go to sites that arent pokemon related to get best coverage. when you have 5 members on daily, my site would adore to aff with you and i may even come back and join but you are just a bit too quiet for me right now
Gonna put my recommendation out there for chatngo, its free and auto updating and gives a sound when things are posted so its really handy. I also have to ask, i recognize some of this text in the rules....used any other sites for help in making this place by any chance?
I did get some of it off my old site. And there is probably stuff in there from other sites - if there are, and you know of them, I will gladly credit them in the usage. I'll have to create a credit ... thingy. Which I will do soon too.
I noted a place in the classes page and then checked it against my own classes and it was the same word for word bare the ranger uniform color which made me grin. Though i did a bit more reading and the battle system here and the way the classes form seem something i dislike ~ (BTW, making eevee a breeder Pokemon will mean people will pick that class only to get an eevee which might go wrong) ~ but i would adore to be a sister site of aff with you all
I like to see pokemon sites get up and running, so i like to offer aid so if you guys ever want help or comments on things from a un-baised party ~ I is here
So many thing to do, might need to make a sticky to cross off things one by one
What site is yours, if I may ask? I'll be glad to change it.
And I figured the battle system is something that turns people off from joining. I might just remove it, but not sure how I'd go about the battling otherwise.
And perhaps. I'll probably end up making Eevee a hard-to-obtain Pokemon after a few people choose it. It'll probably happen with a bit more Pokemon if the site expands, which I'm hoping.
And I would love to affie with you once we get a bit more active. And trust me, I could use the constructive criticism. It helps.
I come from and run shula ~ link on my profile now ~ and i am totally happy to offer our battle system and our ways of doing things if it helps!
I like our system, its simple and it trusts people to behave will making things easy to people to RP and enjoy. I would be totally happy if you wanted to use it or even just copy the frigging thing and put it in to place, i can link you to it if it helps I personally, see a large wall of text on a battle system and decide right then to give up.
Small bits of text with simple info, that'll be handy. And as i said, im happy to link you to our rules and for you to use them as much/little as it helps
*edit* ~ also, i personally HATE sites with "please post this much to move on" as i think its very unfair to those who have busy lives. If my and my pokemon battle over and over but post little, they could be level 20 and unable to move from a level 5 area because im a working adult ~ again, my opinion here
Oh, that would be fantastic. Might make people a little less scared. I didn't see a problem, myself, with the battle system I have. I got it from a friend, who's site is no longer active, and I understood it, so I went with it.
And I've seen Shula. I was always tempted to join it, but I find it harder to get in to a roleplay with a massive amount of people than from a small forum. Just my opinion, though.
Hmm, and that's a good point. I understand that. I have a three year old who is currently potty training AND going to speech therapy. I'll edit that rule after I get a good ... theme up. Haha.
We get that a lot, shula is a family really. We have a lot of members but we are very tight knit and we tend to rp as 1x1 most of the time with plots between different people, but i accept some people like smaller site groups. We are a happy group who adore newbies and love plotting with all, but there are about 10 of us actives and more who arent quite as active
Would you like the link for our Evoltuions/Levels/Battles stuff? Would it be handy?
*edit* ~ yea, my comment on advancing rises again as i read more. I think its unfair, make areas level limited by pokemon who would totally kick the butts of the weaker who moved forwards but dont make them have to post/ask for permisson to move back and forth. Its very limiting.....
As for the other thing, i think i got confusing. You need levels, levels is uber important! Im saying make areaslevel bound, if you go to route one theres a level 5 pidgey you can battle.....try to go to route 20 will have level 50 Bravairy.....
Make it level limited. So you can go from area to area of your own free will....but if you chose to begin the game and head out to the end of the routes.....you will have your butt handed to you
I;m not much of a coder either, i can do some basics and edit some others and that merries me along Most of shulas codes were lifted from code recourse sites or the very basic things are done by me ~ like the pc template ~ but i have to admit i prefer when people dont use tables on shula. I do when im bored, but i think tables get everyone confused
Dont feel you gotta, in the name of Keldeo done feel you got to use my ideas and suggestions if people hate them.
I have run PB sites for over 10 years now, shula is the result of all the learning and its why the place is up and floating and has so many ideas in it
