I post everywhere through out SYN everyday I mean in my opinion it's good to at least post once a day, but I mean xbox is what were centered around and the forums definitely help and they are a very vital part don't get me wrong, I just think we should try to push the forums harder on Rec. and Privates and such, maybe not that early because they might loose interest but they need to at least sign up and get in the usergroup so it's easier to keep track of them, I would say at Private or Sgt. the forums need to be pushed more, because they probably think the forums are lame at first, and be like wow I'm not that big of a nerd that's what I thought when I first joined but people pushed it on me and now I love it and it's a everyday affair for me. But they need to be pushed more to use them cause they are definitely a fun easy way to keep the clans in this community active they also help the members to get to know each other better.

Very true...
I mean you could put up a trailer of the new map packs coming out...
Do a top ten plays of the week ( A REAL ONE ) i mean you have a YT channel...
Content is what makes or breaks a site and this site is lacking it a bit ....

Right on... I understand the standpoint of "everyone getting their way is pure chaos," but this goes back to my "aristocracy" rant. There are toooooo many cases of a good idea coming up and leaders shooting it down without giving it a passing thought.
I'm sure if everyone were given more than a passing glance when they have a good idea, this community would see a huge spark in activity and morale. I'm not bashing what the leaders of the community have accomplished... in fact, I think that would be kind of stupid because this community dwarfs your "every-day-run-of-the-mill" clan. This community made it very far and is successful, but I feel like the activity of this community has gone down since I've joined.
Putting a couple "sparks" out there always does good. If it doesn't, then it at least shows that leadership is trying, which is respectable enough. In the end, this is a monumental subject that is very difficult to take off... but if it gains enough momentum, it just might... so spread the word ppl!

i argee to/ i have around a 30 ppd count so i think im plently active
Burrito already gots good ideas. I bet tons of others got other great ideas to update the site.
Galactus is also true its difficult in the beginning to start the ball rolling. I wana help even though im not computer smart or have that creative aspect and Im pretty darn sure others would love to help anyway possible. Snyder gots some awsome creativity in hand. while burrito and galactus got great videos. But we do have people with talents and skills and ideas to make this site better, we just have no one to start the whole thing up.

Everything starts off small and grows.
One thing I think many people view the site is as a forum and don't really pay much if any attention to the homepage content. Myself for example I get on here probably a few times a day (addicted I know, lol) but I will only check the homepage maybe once a week, mainly because I don't expect there to be that much content added in that time.
There are things that you can't do on XBL, like have the clan lists which are pretty damn important to organising the clan.
One thing I will say is that there are signs that things are in the process of getting improved, for example sig of the week is back up and running, which although it is a small step it is certainly one in the right direction imo.
And yes we do have a lot of talented people in the community and if we can give them a stage to express that talent it could only be a good thing for the community.

@blite Yes i agree with you blite but not everyone is into sigs and making them....
Some people could care less about the art stuff maybe they just want to watch videos ( AKA the video team )
Also i would like to add this... come on people this is turning in to more of an ideas thread on how to better the site and trying to get people more involved...
This is a SUPER do able thing all they have to do is listen to us....
Make a sticky thread to say what we want give it 2weeks for people to post pull the best idea and give us a chance to get what some of us want...

Yea I know that rusty, personally I'm not that bothered about sigs but I know other people are, so I like to see things on the site that they can enjoy, even if it dosent really effect me.
Like i said bringing back the sig of the week is a small thing but it shows that the higher ups in the community are trying to improve things and continue to build on what we already have here. Everything starts off small and hopefully things like this will lead into some of the things people have posted here.
One things to remember is no one (to my knowledge) runs this community and everything associated to it as a full time job. We all have other commitments in life apart from the clan so things can take a bit of time. Better that though than it being rushed.

blite i agree with you we all do have a life besides the clan and forums but we all have sometime or another when were just doing nothing. but any step in the right direction is a good one in my book. i'm not the most creative when it comes to sigs or designing but i do have ideas. but i'm glad this post has brought some attention to this subject. maybe this will start a change for the better i mean don't get me wrong it's already good but it could be better

while i agree with making it the generals and captains responsibilities to make forum activity within their clan, we have an update coming as i understand it.
THe podcast team will be started soon enough. Video team you are absolutely right but now is the time to find leaders that arent as restrictive and set up a parameter for it. THe design team is just needing to clean house. There are things that leaders are doing that restrict from some of this happening that none of you are seeing. ITs frustrating i understand but i must ask you guys to please stick it out and wait to see what happens if anyone has specific gripes you want to see done send me a msg and I will get the message relayed for you or we can come up with a plan for a presentation to show the higher ups
again send me msg if you have gripes i will help you
edit: One more thing id like to add however is that updating the site and making it more user friendly is a bit more difficult then you guys realize this site is not like html sites and all that it takes time for everything so that the site doesnt go down randomly on everyone that uses it. If you havent used vbulliten and all of the things associated with this site its tough to say anything about going fast.
Ive worked with vbulliten and it takes time weeks and sometimes months to figure some things out when you cant sit down all day long and just focus on it. Remember our leaders have families also that they want to spend time with.

That is so true man, I totally agree.
This is also very true I couldn't agree with you more.
I'm agreeing with everyone here, if theres anything I can do to help just let me know man
GOOD! Also If you need any help man let me know.the people are there all you need is a leader thats recognized by xg ive sent some messages around stating id love to do that well see what happens
You bring up a very valid point, I couldn't agree with you more when it comes to Pod casting and Video I'm down to help with those I go to school for each...and also Photoshop. Just if anyone in this forum needs help with anything just let me know I'm one click away and I'm every bit motivated to help you guyswhile i agree with making it the generals and captains responsibilities to make forum activity within their clan, we have an update coming as i understand it.

If you want to talk to them about it your best bet is probably to ask on the "ask the leaders" forums
