request a certain event, give suggestions and we'll see what we do with it?
any event as long as all members would be able to participate.
Remember dave's contest?
I think a trivia events should be held so everyone can participate, not just the GFX artists.
What are Trivia Forum Events? You ask 10 questions or so that are so ridiculously hard that the person is forced to look them up to complete it.
State in the rules that there may be no typos, and the first 3 people to correctly post the answers in the correct format will win. You do not post who won until all three people have won, this reduces cheating by implying that there isn't anyone to cheat off of.
I believe that this will raise forum activity because, like I said earlier, everyone is capable of participating in such events. This will gather much more attention and likely be enjoyable for a number of people.

We often got people to become forum-active that have been playing in-game for years and never even bothered with the forum. They eventually stopped due to lack of enthusiasm from the other staff once I left, but they were remembered and often still asked about.
sounds great, but please refrain from saying other servers names:)
Sorry about that.
If it makes you feel better the server is no good and basically dead because of all the crooked staff. ;D
Again though, thank you for the support. If you guys ever intend on holding one I would be willing to help out with some of the questions if not the whole thing. I have some experience finding ridiculously hard trivia queries.
Pedokandy, I think I suggested a certin usergroup and I was denied >.<
I never seen anyone on that server with a forum event winner user though.
There was an event master group with a special purple HTML name, but it was removed.Quote:

Owh i really love your idea PKMM!!

I like the trivia event idea. We should do it. '-'
is it possible to do giveaways?
for instance, a thread may look like this...
[Give Away Forum Event Week #1]
Hello Freestylers!
That's right, we're giving away [insert amount of coins desired here] to whoever guesses the number already posted in the staff section. The number range for this week is 1-1000!(This would require someone to make a thread about forum event numbers in the staff section and just update the number every week or so. OR 1 staff member could hold the number, higher staff of course, so the other staff members could participate as well.)
If no one guesses the number in 1 weeks time, whoever is closest wins!
Rules: You may only post 1 number per event. You may not edit your post. You may not pester or annoy any staff members about the number.
____________________________________
Pros:
1. Forum posts and activity would rise.
2. People who can't afford donors would at least be able to have a chance of getting 1 donor item of their choice.
3. Once new people start visiting the forums, they start to become a part of the community. Which means they're most likely to stay or even donate later on.
Cons:
1. FG loses a small amount of coins for an increase in activity.
I got some ideas as well.
1. Find the Image
2. Find an edited post!
Trivia is best, what twist posted wont be any fun + spam spam spam -____________-
Each participant has 1 post..Quote:

That and there's the chance no one will guess it because there isn't 1000 members. So at the end of the week when you announce that none of the 100 people who posted actually guessed it correctly, people are going to be nothing but disappointed and upset.
There are just way too many flaws in such an event.
Lol, bakpao got to lvl 13 in daves contest ;P
You can use forum prizes as a method of giving chances to players to be able to help out in an event with a GM.
Newcomers especially would love doing that.
Most of you will probably think "Oh yeah, power level the noops", but may I remind you that it's a private server.
Kills aren't all that important and it would increase interaction between players and GM's/Forum Mods even more.
Also seasonal contests such as ones for Halloween, Christmas, Winter, Summer, Easter etc. (GFX Contests based on those seasons, Trivias related to those Seasons, Video Contests (Highest Vote Wins))
Solving Riddles, although that could be associated with the Trvia's.
Most Hilarious/Unique/Interesting [Insert any other adjectives] Screenshots in-game. Users could vote on which ever one they loved the most.
Description Event - Where the Forum Staff briefly describes 10 objects and whoever guesses the most correct wins.
Anything could be done.
mio you avatar is hentai? O_O
It's not hentai, ogmfogmfogmof.Quote:

2. one vague hint
3. guess shtstorm
4. someone is winrar and gets an event coin or more depending on difficulty
I've seen some good idea's. Let's wait for the super forum mod.
I won't have so little faith in the staff.Quote:

Alot of these forum event ideas are actually really good, I don't see why any forum mods haven't come across this shizz yet, srsly, aren't forum mods supposed to read like, everything thats posted? So that they may well, ya'kno "MODERATE"??
well, i don't think it's so much that as it is admins approving of it. mods can agree with it but it's up to the admins mostly. wait for mcsic or dave to answer.Quote:
