so she had subforum for different types of writing but she changed the titles recently... this is what she changed them to...
The Bad Actor's Corner (RP Community)
The Overactive Imagination's Corner (Original Stories)
The Talented Liar's Corner (Fan Fiction)
The Bleeding Heart's Corner (Poems)
The Semi-Musically Gifted's Corner (Lyrics)
The Artistic Overachiever's Corner (Comics/Mangas)
ok, now i will quote e what we all posted in quotes i order...
anime_keyee
What does everyone think of the new theme? yes, no, maybe-so?
xXxPansyxXx
I love them, they are piss yourself funny...
Archangel Izual
To be honest... they're alright.... but they won't be something that everyone will like.... I dunno... like....
It'll attract a certain group but ... to be honest..... it'll mainly be people 15 and under.... or all girls.. : P
or gays... : P
but anyways.... I dunno what to suggest... but it should be something that'll attract people of all ages, who are writers..... the first step in "Marketing" a product is knowing your target audience.... and all writer's, young and old, see themselves as "smart" and sophisticated when it comes to their writing...
So maybe try and base it around that type of thing...
(sorry.... i'm dumb and took Marketing last year... heh)

but 15 or younger, female or gay cover most of the people on gaia...
Archangel Izual
that's not true...... there's a LOT of 18+ and straight men.
we're just nerdy.... or gothic.... x D

xXxPansyxXx
ive met about five. but even if you like to write it wouldnt matter anyways would it...
Archangel Izual
it's just about attracting an open audience of writers in general... not just the 15 and under, females. and homosexuals...
I've seen so many 18+ people and so many straight males....
so... yeah....

ok, maybe we should change it but what should we change it to???
Archangel Izual

perhaps...

sorry, but i still like mine better. I think mine make more sense.
Archangel Izual
well....
.....*feels like he's being arrogant*....
it's really more about if the audience will like it, more than you.....

....i think yours are too confusing.... I'm not being vain or anything, i just really like the humor factor and if you can come up with anything nicer but still funny, i'll use it. (if its not as confusing as the other ones you put, cuz i had to read through those like three times before i really got them)
Archangel Izual
some people might not want funny....
some people might be looking for a more serious-ish writer's guild...
and mine aren't confusing at all confused

I'm sorry, but i really like the humor factor, and honestly i usually get along better with the type of people who like the humor as well.
xXxPansyxXx
YAY FOR HUMOR!!!
Archangel Izual
i feel like my entire point is being ignored..
Sure it's your guild...
but if you want as many people to join as possible... then it's more about them then you...
it's like if you were selling a product.... i don't think the people who own McDonald's really like a majority of the people who make up their customer base... but they don't interact with a majority of them... and when they do, they're nice to them.... you don't have to befriend every single member....
It's all about drawing in people.... and if you have humorous threads in the guild you'll draw in a crowd for you to befriend, no doubt...
i don't know what to tell you.... ...
but i know you'll find people to get along with without making everything to draw in a crowd that YOU'LL get along with....
and think about other people in this guild..... not everyone shares your preferences and maybe not everyone will get along with the same crowd... therefore, making your crowd smaller than

anime_keyee
ok, ok. i understand your point, but to make things clear and so i can improve on things, what exactly about the threads aren't appealing to older and straight men?
Archangel Izual
it's not the threads...
just the titles...
i dunno....i guess it's ... i dunno
The Bad Actor's Corner (RP Community) - kinda makes it seem like nobody really is good at Role Play
The Overactive Imagination's Corner (Original Stories) - feels a little childish
The Talented Liar's Corner (Fan Fiction) - i dunno... just doesn't... i dunno
The Bleeding Heart's Corner (Poems) - makes poetry look emo (and it's not at all)
The Semi-Musically Gifted's Corner (Lyrics) - kinda degrading to some people...
i dunno.......
i'm just a dumbass.....

To me, that was the comedy. But I see that its insulting to some people. I will see what I can fix. k?
anime_keyee
Are there any that i can keep?
Archangel Izual
i dunno.....
my opinion is just to make things serious rather than humorous.......
but...... i dunno.......
i feel pretty low right now..... i'm sorry.....
(i'm stupid and have mood swings... no not bipolar... just very easy to become depressed....)
.......
yeah...... i dunno........

anime_keyee
No its ok. don't be depressed. I asked for opinions and you gave me yours... I just want to get more opinions before i do anything.
xXxPansyxXx
dont be depressed just because she didnt agree with you. you gave your opinion and we just need more to decide what to do. its like someone has a favorite band and you dont so you tell them your opinion, they arent going to change what their favorite band is. and we arent just trying to get anyone to join, we want to get people we get along with, we would rather be surrounded by a few people we get along with instead of a lot of people we dont. Most people make a guild and eventually they become inactive, Keyee wants people in her guild to recognize her and like her, not to have the guild completely be run by the mods.
i also dont think people would be offended by simple titles. if they truly like writing they would get over it. if you read a book even if you dont like the title of it, you can still love the book. and the majority of gaia are people under 15, bi/gay, or girls. the lots of straight males you were talking about, you should invite them here because i really want to know what they think.
and alot of the time you keep talking about what other people think, like they think its offensive or it wont appeal to them, but what do you really think. if enough people say they find it offensive or they would like it more serious, then i will definitly consider changing it. but we cant change a part of the guild that the captian and vice both like just from the opinion of one person, sorry.

i wasn't just upset about that... alright? stop assuming.
also... shutup. because you're still not getting that it's not about "******** you if you don't like my guild"
it's you make it welcoming and attractive to all audiences.
That's fine if she wants people who like her, she'll get that but like i said. You can't befriend EVERYONE in the guild.....
If I invited my straight male friends, they'd not want to come, to be honest.
I know them well enough so i didn't bother.
and i never said it was offensive....
just not attractive.........
you know what.........
i'll just quit...
i'm obviously not wanted here......

i really was trying not to, i was really trying to get you to see what we are thinking, trying to give you a knife and cut into my head and take a look.
but it didnt work to well and im soory, really really sorry, im a b***h sometimes i know, but Keyee is a sweetie and she wants you in her guild.
