Congratulations to you ten participants that have been selected by our judges to compete in Clubbleach's first Idol competition. The competition has been speacilly designed so that it can be completely completed simply by using a post and your minds and with the idea that we're forum based in mind.

Simply put you will be given something which you need to do every three-four days, If you fail to submit an entry within the three - four days then you will
a) Lose a lot of points
or
b) Be removed from CB Idol completely

To submit your entry all you need to do is make a reply in this thread with the following information.

"Place your Entry Here"

And that is all. If you wish to discuss anything go to the discussion thread mkay..;) and without further adieu here is the first task which you have to complete. You must have your entry's in within 4 days of this post.

Task #1

Mock-A-Thread

Participants must create in their post an idea they have for a thread on the forum, The thread can be of anything, anywhere on the forum. It can be a copy of a thread already made but if it is then you will probably lose points for being unoriginal. Judges will be looking for a thread that is original, eye catching, amazing, something that holds the readers interest and generates more forum activity, That sort of thing.

To post your entry simply give us the following details.

Title of the thread:
What you would put in the main thread box:

OK after look at this for about 1 hour I have to say that I still don't understand what we have to do.

Thread Name: The State of Music

What occurs in the thread: This is a thread for users to post, literally, anything about music of which they please. This may contain the following posts:

Requests for Sheet Music
Requests for MP3s
Requests for Lyric Ideas & Help
A cafe for songwriters to brainstorm and exchange ideas
Users that wish to learn the basics of any instrument they wish
A pleace for users to post music they have composed


The layout for posting such a thread would be as follows:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/KrayZeKriZ/Picture2copy.png

Now, I realize that there is something already that consists of the music thread - but this is my idea of a music thread. For those that don't know the arts programs are dying - and this is a wonderful way to entertain the idea of getting people to become active in the musical arts, or at least get some knowledge out there.

After some time, each active member of this section may create his/her or own Portfolio in the music section. These portfolios will become "sticky" threads and will be at the top of the thread, as usual.

The portfolio will consist of his/her own musical creations and/or products to be shared with the CB family.

Title - Life of a CB member

Content - Ok. Pretty much, what the title says. Just generally give a description of your daily life as a CB member. Obviously, it would be preferred if CB was mentioned in your daily routine, but it isn't necessary. Also, you can tell us things that have made an impact on your life, such as other members, threads, posts, anything of that nature. You can also give a list of your accomplishments and memberships as well if you wish.

Also, this isn't a spam thread, so, only one post per person per week or so. If you have anything to update about your life as a CB member, you should do so within that week in your previous post, or wait a week to make a new update on your life.

I'll start with my life as a CB member.

Usually I wake up at different times of the day, since I don't currently have a job (Yup, that's right, I'm a CB junkie :D). Usually, first thing I do when I wake up, after taking a leak, is jump on my computer and go straight to my UserCP. I look through my subscribed threads, usually checking the important ones first, such as division, suggestions, etc. After that, I usually check to see who alls online and roam around for a while, looking for any sort of thread that might interest me. I love the internet finds, specifically the videos, as people post some really awesome videos up in there. Usually, once I've roamed around enough, I tend to eat something and maybe watch some anime (currently watching, Bleach, Vampire Knight, Code Geass II<3 and Mnemoysne(sp)), or play a game.... then shortly after coming right back to CB lol.

Some things I've taken away from being a CB member have been a start of GFX. I knew nothing of GFX before CB, so when I joined, I was sort of in awe at the whole concept and skill behind it. I've also made quite a few friends on here, from all different threads, divisions, countries and states and timezones. One thing though, that has made everything about coming to CB that much better, was I met someone very important to me, who will be a part of my life forever. If there was ever anything I could take away from CB as the biggest impact it has made, was the fact that I made friends and more important, someone very important and dear to my life. <3 <3

:) With that being said. I don't really have many accomplishments on CB, aside from helping the occasional person find some anime or improving on gfx.

My memberships are few. But..

4th Division VC
Scarlet Moon GFX Team
Club Bleach Book Club
CB 07 Generation (this ones hard to get.. lol) :)


Lol. With that being said. I hope I did it right (and that there isn't a thread already made lol...) and that I can edit it later on if I need to :D

[silverwolf801]

Title: Request Station(The Anime downloads version)

The Idea: Well just like the already running request station in the music section of the cb. We could also make an anime downloads thread just like it. So besides being able to receive their request for music teh cb membe4rs will also have a chance to receive there anime, tv, shows, OVA's or whatever the same way.

And of course anyone can take a request for someone. and the request will not be taken like only giving out a torrent. If the anime is in the torrent and you want to do someone's request then you must take it upon yourself to upload the anime off the torrent to your computer and then relink it back to the person in any file sharing program (except rapidshare). ALso of course like the request station nothing is given out the person who has done the request unless the receiver feels as if the person who has accomplished their request deserves it.

Um can someone find get me the links for episodes 20 to 26 of scryed. Can I also get it subbed/dubbed/raw. I will be so happy if you do. And if you can get it in mkv/mp4/avi/mpg/wav/wma/wmv/ quality I would glomp you forever but if you can't it'll be ok.

Me or the person that will take the request. OK I will start on your request now. I will be upload each episode at a time and telling you when I do so you will be able to promptly get them.

I think that this would definitely increase the attendance rate in the cb because who doesn't promptly want anime that they can't find or are too lazy to find, and some people also have a slow connection which would contribute to them having a slow upload and or download speed. So with this said this the end

Title: The Club Bleach Exhibition Gallery

Idea: Basically there will be a monthly theme sent out to all the creative groups out there (GFX teams, Artist's Guild, Shutter Squad, Writer's Guild, Poetry Corner, etc.), and they submit their group's works relevant to that theme and are shown to the rest of CB- like an art exhibition. This is to help unite the groups (especially the GFX teams) and showcase their talents to the rest of CB. It is also a good showcase for the more, lesser known groups and a good chance to make the rest of CB aware of the different groups.

People don't necessarily have to be in the groups to submit, there will be a special section for those not in any of the groups. Since there are no AMV groups, people are welcome theseto post in this section.

In the end there will also be a voting (and a separate comments section) for the Best in each group, Best group and People's Choice Overall (for a single piece of work).


Welcome to the Club Bleach Exhibition Gallery.

What is this you may ask? Well, this is a place where all the different groups in CB like the GFX teams, Artist's Guild, Writer's Guild, Shutter Squad, Poetry Corner, etc showcase there talents in a monthly theme exhibition.

There will be special awards at the end where the CB public can vote on-
-Best in Group (example, the best entry in the Shutter Squad, and another for Design Industry)
-Best Group (The whole group, i.e. Killa Crew)
-People's Choice Award (Best single piece out of all the groups)

Comments will go in the Comments Thread -here-.

The group will submit all their works to their leader/an appointed person and post them here, with optional titles and a short description.

Non-members of any groups are also welcome to participate, and can submit their own art, GFX, poems, stories, photos or AMVs to me by pm, where I will make a special section just for you.

Now without further ado, let us open this month's exhibition with the theme: Inspirational!

Note: Please turn all signatures off.

Title: Knights of the Round Table

Idea:
One of the most major things that almost took me away from this forum is the formation of groups of people that are already familiar with each other, leaving almost no room for newcomers to make familiar acquaintances. [Consider all of the intro threads, only to never see them again. Also, refer to application]

Personal Experience Warning for this paragraph. I was one of the lucky ones, and by an old contest held by Dev that addressed all of Club Bleach, I had shown my personal worth and became an accepted member of the community and was further encouraged to stay. It was because of a contest where I could face up against the entire forum that had empowered me to continue activeness. A chance to prove one’s self against all/elite is an empowering feeling, even if loss is involved.

Although member divisions are an effective way to emphasize teamwork and relationships, there will continue to make many newcomers that feel ostracized by the hierarchy of this "social status" and current user popularity. For example, initial requirements [post count, activity, time stayed, etc.] to join a Division might force a new user into making a fuller commitment on the forums that they are already uncertain they want to keep.

There are other contests on the forums in which a user can participate in independently, they may still feel alone and wish for group activity/membership. On another hand, a user may also want to, in a polite sportsmanlike manner, out-do all those that are highly acclaimed and known on the forums. I'm not saying that member Divisions are a bad idea, for they still represent dedication and an effective rewards system for the most active of users, but there still should be a group which can band together despite current status.

Each occurrence of a contest, people that belong to the Knights of the Round Table may nominate themselves for challenging the Divisions in their contests and rally up, in a non-spam discussion thread, groups [if required] for these contests. As individuals, they will not be bound by any sort of leadership status or feel forced with constant activity, as that may interfere with personal life. Following up on any of their self-nominations will be formed on a system of trust, that users will put in the required effort and dedication in whichever contest they partake in.

The primary focus of the Knights of the Round Table is to encourage new users in showcasing their talents at an earlier stage, as well as spark up friendly group and individual competition between other groups. It would create an environment where new users feel included, and at the same time, an environment that isn’t restricting.


You wander an adventurer in search of ways to hone personal skills, as well as find a new place in which you will feel as another home. That is, until you reach a quaint little place in the countryside, known as The Land of Bleach. In order to ‘wet your whistle’ a bit from the long journey, you decide to find the local pub, but find that the situation feels way too tense, for they see you as an outsider. Which is fair enough, you think to yourself, for there is still quite a ways before they get to truly be familiar with you. From the corner of your eye, you see a cloaked figure in the shadows of an unlit corner. Much to your silent surprise, you see the cloak figure look from side to side inconspicuously and then indicating you to approach him with his index finger. With bravery and wariness, you approach. Looking you straight in the eye, the cloaked figure says, “You’re not around these parts, are you?” Relatively quickly, you learn of an organization looking for new recruits that wish to display their skills against the elite guilds already established in the land.

Welcome to the Knights of the Round Table!
An Organization of New Challengers of the Forum [userbar/official status pending]

This is a group designed for those that wish to participate in group effort contests, but find they are currently unable to fulfill the requirements outlined by the Divisions, which is the primary source of teamwork contests. As well, there may be division contests that are individual that you are interested in, meant to increase the status of the Division groups, but cannot participate in because of restricted membership. Although the “Knights of the Round Table” is also a group, you will still be treated as a separate personality with diverse goals and interests, that which will not be restricted by the will of a single leader or solely users with high status. That is why our table is round. We all have a say.

I will probably not keep a complete member list, for there will always be people coming and going with real life and other interests. Of course with any club, there is still a code, but members will not be judged in terms of reputation, post count, etc.

Here are the minimal requirements.
- Adherence to all the forum rules on Club Bleach, as with any section
- Honest dedication to any contest effort that you have volunteered for
- Treating all fellow members of this group with respect and equal consideration
- Follow the guidelines set by the Knight’s Code.

Knight’s Code

A knight is sworn to valor.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His word speaks only truth.
His Shield shelters the forsaken.
His courage gives hope to the despairing.
His wrath undoes the wicked.
His image brings peace.
His code breaks the darkness
His legend brings light

As for the guideline in which we will set this up, willing recruits will introduce themselves formally with their first post, and discuss their strengths, goals, reasons for joining, etc. As each Division Contest is announced, it will be carried on here. Then, under the group name “Knights of the Round Table”, you will be officially able to either independently participate in those contests as a Challenger or organize small groups of Challengers within this particular umbrella group for preferably new or not too well known users. [Further structure of Convo Threads, Division Contest Challenge Threads, etc.; currently pending]

RP Idea: Hero Verse (Verse City)


Story:

This is an idea for an RP that centres around a city that is locked down in a circular force field, allowing nothing to escape. The background behind this city is scientist's quest for human enhancement gone too far, the city used to be called Beldue City, a bustling metropolis filled with people, growing in population everyday. A scientific lab was originally developed here and people flocked around it, scientists and business men alike, wanting to cash in on the project that was taking place, 'The Enhancement Genes lab' where everyone would benifit from its research. As time went on, people deviated from the original project, thinking that it would not succeed, yet still continued living around the lab. The city grew and moved on from its original intentions, forgetting the real reason for its own existence. Until one day, the project actually succeeded, but not in the fashion people imagined, the generator used to control the lab, collapsed in on itself, causing the lab to explode, killing the men inside, but what was left was a virus that mutated the genes of the humans left in the city. The Gene Virus caused humans to gain special powers, some could control these powers for their own benifit, some could not and either went mad from the power or turned bitter and evil, seeking to conqueor the city, and force their own views on the people of the city. The city quickly lapsed into chaos and was no longer called 'Beldue City' but 'Verse City'after the scientist that created the virus. Eventually the world was forced to conceed that this city could not function as a real part of this world, and locked it away from society, fearing that the virus would spread to infect humankind. The city became its own world inside itself, a world of a constant struggle for power between those who wished to rule, and those who wished to keep the balance of a normal society. As time went on, people from the normal world began to forget about this force fielded abomination on their planet and live on as if nothing had happened. But this is where our own story begins...


Outline:

You will be thrown into 'Verse City' as your own mutant fighter, with your own powers of your choice (limited in certain cases like 'instant mind control') You will choose the powers you wield and the way you wield them, creating a character that can be either a Hero, Anti Hero (Take which side suits you when you please) or Villain. Then you will create teams or go solo to conquer the world of 'Verse City'.



Rp 'Gameplay':

The Rp will be a freeform rp, based around moderated control and individual judgement. The city is split up into 12 arena's (territories) that will be controlled by a certain Hero (or villain etc) and that will have special privledges (extra powers gained by a certain item unique to the arena) that go with that arena. In order to further your own power in the Rp you will need to capture one of these arena's (or many depending on your power and greed :P) so that you can further your characters growth and control of the city based on your allignment. In order to gain the arena you must defeat the hero (or team) in control of the arena. The power that is gained if a TEAM wins an arena is lessened than if a singular hero controls the arena, making it more fair if a team takes on a hero for control.



Rules:

This RP will be very open when it comes to character creation, except with the powers and balancing of the sides of allignment, all character creations will be subject to scrutiny over the fairness of the power that the person has decided to control. The powers of a hero will be specified to two certain characteristics called 'Unique Attributes'. This means in the event that someone wishes to have the same element, example 'Fire' then there will be individuality between the two heroes in accordance to their skills. When the Rp starts their will be limited spots in each allignment and may be subject to shuffling if one allignment has more than the other. As the RP grows the player will be able to change allignment at a price (yet to be determined). When the Rp begins, in order to give a fair chance for all the players wishing to conquer arena's, a Boss made by myself will control the arena to begin with and will be RP'd by myself in order to give a fair chance for all to defeat this Boss hero that controls the arena and gain the arena for themselves.


Allignment Description:

Hero: Fighting against the villains in order to gain the arena's to turn Verse City back into a working society.

Villains: Hating what they have become they use their powers to gain the arena's in order to control the city and force their own twisted wills upon others.

Anti-Hero: Taking whatever side they choose when they feel like it, they are the punks and neautral side of the allignment. They take whatever side seems to coincide with their own views at the time.




Character template: My own :)


Real Name: Yase Karosaji

Hero name: 'Surge'

Descendance: Japanese

Age: 23

Height: 6'3

Weight: 83 kg

Characteristics (What your hero looks like and defining features): Blond spikey hair, with light blue eyes. A scar running down his cheek and an eyebrow ring on his right eyebrow. He is dressed in a sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, with his arms rapped in bandages traditional to the Muay Thai fighting look.(Can insert picture to further describe hero or features)


Allignment: Anti-Hero

Personality: Quiet and hard working, he prefers to befriend no-one and only helps when he see's it alligns with his own views. When he fights he is often described as on the edge of being beserk and out of control, despite his normally quiet nature. Before he was mutated he was a proficient martial artist in Muay Thai, Kick boxing and boxing styles. For his age he was considered a prodigy and would be likely to go on to become a strong contender for the world title.

Powers: Electricity control. Description of Unique Attributes:

Power surge: Electricity courses through Surge's veins like blood, he can expel this electricity in any way that he wants with direct contact needed, this is not limited to weapons, but mostly used combined with his martial arts mastery to provide leathal efficiency.
Lightning Recover/Burst: Using his powers Surge can expel the electricity from his feet or arms to impact with the ground, causing him to recover or burst forth with immense reflex and speed at the opponent.

Weapon(s): The bandages wrapped around his arms contain thin ultra light metal and can be removed and become wraps that can be used to channel his electricity through, giving him range and the ablity to wrap his enemey in a binding grip of fatal electricity. (Weapons will be limited to medieval styled weapons. Things like guns and rocket launchers are not allowed)

Team: (yet to be established)

Power item(s): (yet to be gained)


Any further info: Blergh



So yeah thats my idea for a thread (or RP :) )

[Cero]

This is my idea.

On such a large scale, that it will change the look of the forums!!!!



http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii240/espada_cero/Screenshots/CBIdolsubmission.png


The Breakdown

This would take into effect part of what Kray thought (basically cause his section has more detail then my music does)...... But it would add sections that would attract posting, and general attendence of members...

1 new forum grouping, with 5 forums implemented. The Art and Graphics section relocated into the 5 groups.
((The Graphic section on the screeny should say Art and Graphics))






Art and Graphics section:

This section will contain all the sections that used to be contained in the Arts and Graphics... Sized down to a subforums, each with its own subforum.
(If they contained one that is)






Music:

Here is where the threads related to music will go. I used Kray's reasoning to make this one, just made sense to do so..... He knows how to make a music related section!!!!






Programs:

This section is for Programming help, awesome programs that you have found, Help on using programs, etc.... All of that stuff.






Gaming:

All the posts on the aspects of gaming should go here. Stuff like free games, emulators, online gaming discussion, consle games, all that sorta stuff






Hardware:

Posts about your computer specs, new graphics cards that are coming out, new computer technology, etc. All of those things and more will be posted in this section






Now, keep in mind that this is a rough idea. Alot of discussion would be needed to modify it to the final draft.... So, yea. I didnt have to use Krays music idea.... it just made more sence to use it in accord with my idea...

[Dope Hat]

Geeez - awesome idea for a task! [and difficult <<' '>>]

Well....here is mine:


Decisions ~ Decisions

+++++++++++++

The Idea:

What the headline already said - it's about decisions.
You see, there are alot of people out there [like me :P] who have alot of trouble deciding between things. Doesn't matter if you have trouble deciding if the banner looks better blue or green, you should go out with your friends or gf|bf, or anything else.

How it works:

Very simple. A member just posts the things between he|she has to decide in the thread, which should be located in The Lounge [to avoid stubidy and spam] and other members can help out with giving their input. It doesn't matter between how many things somebody has to decide, how often the member posts or how many people answer that post. The only thing that should be done is giving a small decription WHY you have trouble deciding.

TAH Example:

To make everything easier to understand =)

Post #1 by unique:
Well here is my problem. Right now I have long hair...and I'd like to cut it....maybe? Well that's the problem. Should I leave it long or should I cut it off?

long hair: People said it suits me, I've had it for a long time now, ...

short hair: It's summer so having long hair is too hot, I want to try out something new.

Post #2 by Barbaroi:

Well I'd say cut it off. Be brave and try out something new. Besides...if you don't like it you can let it grow again.

Post #3 by Sweeney:

What Barb said. Do some experimenting and cut it off.

+++++++++++++

Sooo....I hope everything is understandable. =)

Title: "Now You're Cooking, with CB"


Oh, hello there. Welcome to the kitchen.
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc87/KaidaSorano/Bleach_cake.jpg
I see you may be unsure of what goes on here?


-> Here is a place we come looking for your recipes. Not only that, but we're interested in your interesting take on other meals as well.

Felt the need to try curry in your breakfast cereal?
Cinnamon in your eggs?
Good or Bad we want you to let us know about it, you may
even help spare someone of your culinary, mishaps.:winking56


I suggest we post something unique to your region/country that you would like to share with us as your internet family. If we get enough we could collect them place them in a spoiler here in the first post. That I/a mod would update periodically.

[insert "Food from Home" spoiler]

-> Got a party and need a fun snack? You can also use this space to request new recipes or fun tweaks old ones.

All conversation is to be about the topic.
(I don't want to see any Spam in the thread unless it comes in a can.)
An example of the types of things I would expect are:
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc87/KaidaSorano/CBI1-1.jpg

Then hopefully an answer of something like:
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc87/KaidaSorano/CBI1-2.jpgI'm assuming that my idea doesn't really need much explanation. I've always been a bit more than a little interested in cooking and love getting new ideas to try out. I know there are a lot of people here on CB from different parts of the world and having such a thread will give others a way to appreciate the culture of their fellow forum goers through food.

[Ai]

Banzai, Thanks for your entry Kaida..Now that we have all ten contestants with their first entry's in we can move along to your next activity thats required of you and the extra 12 ish hours can be added to your time for the next activity.

The idea is the same as before to put your entry in simply post with your entry in a spoiler mkay.

Activity #2

Faux Moderator Application

Applicants are now required to make a moderator application using the directions as left by DB when moderator applications are open. Your application should be as detailed as you can make it along with anything you feel that you would need to put down if you were really making a moderator application.

This activity will be judging your sense of sensibility and authority as well as your professional outlook on the forum in general.

The instructions for making a moderator application can be found below.

Not that hard. Pick the section and apply there.
- Create a thread with just your Username as its title.
- You can apply more than 1 position.
- You can only win 1 position.
- When you make your thread, you will not see it, it will be hidden. If you forgot something, then in your thread title, type your username V2 or something similar.

Requirements:
- Activeness.
- Not being a douche.
- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.
- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.
- Experience is not required.
- Know how to spam the staff thread.

*Note* Saying that you're a nice person doesn't exactly qualify you to be a mod. Neither does saying that you've done it before and you have experience. To make it more competitive, personally, I'd like to know why you would be the BEST choice as a moderator.

Good luck and looking forward to seeing what type of applications you come up with.

You have another 3 days from this post to have your entry's in or face elimination.

[Barbaroi]

Section - General Anime/Manga
*creates thread in imagination*
Activeness- I'm actually really active. I'm on throughout most of the day. I don't really do much else. Probably every bit of 8 hours a day lol...
Not Being A Douche- That's not a problem. I feel like I'm an easy going guy. I like to joke and take jokes. Plus I don't like douches.. they stink... literally O_o lol... but I try not to be a hypocrite.
Know CB Forums Rules- Well, I've been a member for roughly 8 months. I am aware of the rules, and sometimes if I see someone obviously break them, on accident, such as a noob double posting, I tend to PM them to let them know of their mistake and try to help them understand so they don't get in trouble.
Best Qualities/Personalities- Well, like I said, I'm a really easy going guy. I like to joke around with people and I can take a joke back. I like to think I'm intelligent, although you wouldn't believe it at some of my posts and comments :). My best qualities, CB related I guess are that I'm active and nice. My RL qualities, which I guess carries over into CB is that I'm a nice person. I'm loyal and caring above all else. I just enjoy a good time really.
Experience is not required- Even though it isn't, I have minor experience with modding the 4th division. It's miniscule in comparison to something like "The Lounge" or something similar to that, but it's better than nothing I suppose.
Know How to Spam the Staff Thread- Lmfao... That better be a joke, because I'll flood it worse than Katrina did to New Orleans...

Why I would be the best choice- Well.. I've said it before. I don't know if I would be the BEST choice. There is always someone more willing, dedicated or just all around better. It's hard to be the best out of everyone else. All that I could say is that I would do MY best. I'm always willing to learn and take advice as well, so that would help me do my best.

Thanks.

-Barb

[Dope Hat]

- You can apply more than 1 position.

I'd like to apply for only one though - Town Hall.


Requirements:
- Activeness.

Usually my activeness is 100% and I also already had the activity award. Right now the percentage dropped though - last week was my exam week, so I couldn't be as much online as I'd have liked. My activity will soon rise again though.

- Not being a douche.

When I am online I like to have fun and talk with as many people as I can. I try to make jokes and be an easy going member. That doesn't mean I am a douche though. If the situation requires it I am a very serious person and can't take jokes at all. I know when to have fun and when it's time for business.

- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.

To tell the truth. The CB forum rules are the only forum rules I've ever read [usually don't read forum rules...]
So I do know them.

- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.

Uff....as a person with very low self-confidence this is really hard for me. But I'll try my best.
Well...I am more of the silent type of person and am good in listening to problems of others. I also try to help them out with advices and never judge people . I am very open minded and can also understand jokes [if they don't overstep a certain line]. I also have ALOT of patience and try to help out as good as I can.

[B]- Experience is not required.

Good. Because I've only started as a mod on another forum, so I don't have that much experience...

- Know how to spam the staff thread.

Haha - you certainly don't have to worry about that. I can easily do that.

Why me?
+ high activity [so I'm almost all the time online here and have enough of time to detect spam threads, necroposter, n00bs who haven't read the rules and so on]
+ I try to help out [so I don't even mind when people are bombing me with questions]
+ I wouldn't "overuse" my "power"
+ I like to work on forums [so whenever there is something to do I'll gladly help out]

If you have more questions feel free to ask me. =)

- You can apply more than 1 position.
Randomness or Writing and Literature; these sections make me feel right at home here at Club Bleach.

Requirements:
- Activeness.
I am generally active, more evident in some days, but I do make a solid effort to get on the forums at least a couple of hours a day.
- Not being a douche.
IRL, I am the exact opposite of a douche; a modest, spineless lover of humankind who will make solid efforts in making good relations with others, without kissing their feet. Although I don't carry all my personality with me with this username, this personality trait I keep with me.
- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.
I have become familiar with them, as they are easy to access from the main page of this forum and are completely logical in nature. I have also memorized the rules of Fight Club, just in case.
- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.
I tend to be logical, to analyze situations throughly with a grain of salt and determine from a neutral point of view the best course of action. Other times, I like to let my mind go free, and let it drift away into space to absorb the entropy of the universe. I am an easygoing person, and when I can, make an effort to relieve tense situations. However, I know that there is a time for everything, including when to be serious and when to take out teh banhamma.
- Experience is not required.
I have absolutely no experience when it comes to moderation, but I'm sure I will be able to learn the ropes. Just be sure to be gentle with me. teehee.

Why Me?
+You should be asking yourself, why wouldn't you choose me?
+I am a responsible person, and I would only use my powers for good, not evil, for order and strength, not of chaos. At heart, I am a Paladin of Lawful Good Alignment. [who can healz and tank]
+I would treat every user with dignity and respect, as I know what it means to fight for a voice on a forum.
+If you choose me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.

The section that I know that I would be great at is the The Bleach Project section


Requirements:
- Activeness.
Well Activity will certainly not be a problem for me at all. I actually strive for great activity even in my division. So when it comes to watching over this section, I will be diligent in making sure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

- Not being a douche.
hahhahaha me a douche. I don't think that I have ever been a douche to anyone except for one person. I am friendly every and anyone. I don't take a higher position to mean that I am better than anyone. Even with me as VC I am still the same old person were people make fun of, and of course we all just laugh it off. Let me give you an example. My division just now excepted a new member but I decided against him joining us because i thought that he wasn't ready but my division decided as a whole to put him on a probation period. When he arrived I made it clear to him that I was one of the people who thought that he shouldn't be present in our division but I also told him that I wanted him to be active and prove me wrong.
And from that the time that he joined(Monday) he has participating in the current contest. Now is that being a douche.

- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.
well yea I know all the rules even though I act like I don't know them. I have been here long enough to read and experience all the consequences (not saying that I have)of those set rules.

- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.
Well my best quality is the way I present myself to people on the cb. I know that I act perverted and everything but when it is time to have a real convo and act seriously I immediately jump on the ball and get things rolling. I have a personality in which IO can befriend anyone. I r5eallty do try and get along with anyone and everyone.


- Experience is not required.
Well that is good to know because then the person who isn't experienced could bring some new fresh idea's to the position while still bringing their innocence as well. Why do I say innocence? Well because a person who has been a mod or smod before at the cb or at another forum for a while might take it upon themselves to act like they are the best thing to happen here. And we definitely don't need that

- Know how to spam the staff thread.
Um well anyone knows how to spam a section. and I would of course know how to do such a task but I would also love to partake in the intelligent convo's as well. Such as school problems or world problems. That's if those convo's were to arise

Why me?
Well I am honestly one of the most active people on the cb

I know how to deal with an argument situation .

I won't just take the position and then become inactive.

I would love for people to pm me on nay problem that they are having with a member or with a section. I would never turn them down.

[Kray]

I'm having deja vu or something. Like I've filled one of these out before... :cm:


- Activeness.

I make an effort to log on to this site, daily. In fact, sometimes I spend literally all day here (I haven't decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing). Hell, it's summer, and I have nothing else to do :p. My activity used to be at 100%, as a matter of fact, before I went away for a weekend. I also used to have that cool little blue medal, but I lost that when I went away as well.

- Not being a douche.

Lol, it's funny that you mention this. I have yet to be mean to anyone on this forum. I've never really lashed out on someone on CB. I'm generally well liked (or so I'd like to hope) on this forum, so I guess that means I'm a pretty ok guy. ^^;

- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.

After being here for over a year, I'd hope I'd know them. I've never gotten a neg-rep or a warning or anything of the sort. So I'm pretty well off. :3

- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.

Lol. I hate talking about myself. I'm way too modest for this crap.
Anyway, I'm the kind of guy that will do favors for people (NOT sexual favors, don't get your hopes up) if they ask me to. I tend to put others before myself when it comes to things. Some people tell me I can be too nice, but tbh, I don't really see a problem with that. Because, I mean, unless someone pisses me off - why should I be rude to them? If you get on my nerves, or do something wrong to me, THEN you get the wrath.

- Experience is not required.

I've got some experience from the GFX Classing threads. That's about it.

If i absolutely had to chose a section to apply to it would most likely be my generation thread but there are not any Mods being appointed there (but incase you've changed your mind).
Another location might be Town Hall ...

Requirements:
- Activeness.
Right up till recently I possessed the "Activity Award" but took the weekend off from posting to hang with the family. I'm on CB when ever I'm on the computer, and that is at least 4 hours a day so far this week. I did pick up a Job, but I'm working mornings and I've found that CB is generally dead while I'm at work, and checking the sight is the first thing i do when i get home...
- Not being a douche.
Umm, I wasn't one last i checked... I try not to associate with them to be quite honest. I'd like to think that most everything i do is well thought out and helpful to whatever cause/topic I'm dealing with.
- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.
We have rules? ...
Kidding, yeah I've read them.. quite a good read if you ask me. I like reminding people of them so its safe to say i know a goot bit about the rules. I probably could stand to read through them again, but I'm sure everyone could do to read them once more.
- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.
I'm slightly detailed oriented and a stickler for structure / order. Out of place things annoy me. I'm generally friendly with everyone i talk to, unless that person did something to earn them less. I like to read, and thats a lot of what i did when i first joined this community. Did i mention I like to point out rule violations or just general screw-ups? Well I do, ad I'm sure because of this I'm guilty of a little Pseudo-Moding.
- Experience is not required.
I'm glad to hear it. As far as experience is concerned I don't really have any. I did run a few Roll play MSN groups, but i never had to actually use any of my power.
- Know how to spam the staff thread.
I absolutly am capible of this. That is if you're serious about it. I like new sections and will be visiting it often ^_^

[Cero]

What position are you applying for: More then 1 postion can be chosen

Town hall or Randomness

~-Requirements-~
=Activeness=

I think that I qualify quite well in this reguard.... I seem to have a uncanny knack to post a hell of alot... Though it seems as if I only post if people have posted in the threads I have posted in. I also have alot of time on my hands... Even tho I will be getting a job, I will most likely be on the same amount of time as normal.



=Not being a douche=

To the best of my knowledge, I have never been a douchebag. I am usually a nice person who gets along with most everybody. ((I wonder why un1que is mean to me tho... ;_; )) Even when someone is getting on meh nerves, I still do my best to be civil towards them, so you wont see flaming from me. I have never even flamed before.



=Know ClubBleach's forum rules=

I have read them a few times... So I have em down. I have never gotten a infraction, but I did get a verbal warning once... like the first day... it was cause I had a picture of Ulquiorra as my ava, and it had 4 on it. This was before his number was released in the manga, so I was told to remove it. I will never do that again.



=Type us about your best qualities/personalities=

It appears that most everybody that has posted in CB Idol are pretty modest, and I dont think I will be an exeption.
I am a nice person, with a drive to post.... I dont like arguments or seeing people in distress.... So if I see either happening, I will do my best to quell the anger, or try to fix the problem.... I also like to try to keep things organized.... Consolidated... If stuff gets too messy.... I go OCD on its ass and try to fix it... That is why my photobucket was cleared out. I also know when to be really serious ((meh e-wife always says I am too serious)) and when I can just play around. ((Which makes my day BTW))



=Experience is not required=

I guess that is a good thing... I have a little at just playing around in another (dead) forums Mod & Admin CP.... But I wasnt all that great... I could do some things, but I know to really grasp it, someone could just show me the ropes.
So that is covered!!!!



=Know how to spam the staff thread=

Can it still be considered spam if it has some bulk to the post? I never post only a few words in my posts.... the less the amount of words... the less of a chance that I would accually post it. So mosy my posts have bulk... But spamming isnt hard to do. I couldnt have 100% if I didnt spam at least a little.

=Why me?=

I'll be applying for Central Hall Moderator sooooo onto the qualifications

Activeness.
ohh boy lol, I think I've got a pretty strong hold on this one. Not necessarily posting activeness all the time, but being here and lurking everywhere (along with 15 or so posts/day 'course). If I'm on a computer I'm on CB, and now with my iPhone, I'm on even when im not by a computer =o

I'm only a douche if you perceive me as one :babies: lol but naw really, ima cool dude I think lol

I don't make quick judgments, I try to see both sides before making a final decision (though sometimes I may be on a particular side more than the other)
I'm an all around nice guy and I'm nice to everyone.. and I even won coolest in teh logies :3 (i was happy about it anyways lol) and although it may not qualify me to be mod, it is one of my best qualities :)
I respond to any and all problems in a professional matter
I am constantly in the Central Hall Section helping with the Feedback and Suggestion as well as the WAB section. I find I can answer many of the questions within the section and often after a question is answered spam arises. This is where I would come in to prevent, regulate and control. :P

I gots some anyways.

Know how to spam the staff thread.
ohhhh I try not to, but sometimes its just impossible :p

Why should I be picked?
Because I'm not here for ulterior motives. I have been here and stayed here solely because of the community and I have never wanted to do anything but help it grow and be awesome.
Also I already have access to all the sections within it, so its nothing new or secret to me

[Yamamoto]

Section: Traditional Art :)

Why exactly? I believe this would be the most appropriate section for me, even if it's only a small section. I manage the SKOTW and at times find it very inconvenient having to rely on the other mods to do mod things such as stickying and closing threads. It would just make things a whole lot easier.

Also, not only about the SKOTW issue, but I could somehow help make the Trad Art section more popular and less foreshadowed by the GFX area. I could help organise it better and also, since I am an artist as well, know the issues people have with displaying works and also manage unhelpful CnCs (including flames and spam) from the helpful ones.


Requirements:

- Activeness.

No problem in this section, it has pretty much become a habit of mine to log on to CB everyday and have 100+ clicks per day xD (rough estimate...enough to give me Repetitive Strain Injury :p)

Exams don't stop me lol (unfortunately)..the only things that do are-

a) if I am on a holiday trip and don't want to pay money to use a net cafe :lol
b) if my computer suddenly dies on me ;__;
c) if i die >.>......hopefully this won't happen anytime soon ^^;

- Not being a douche.

Never, I can assure you that. :) I believe I always have good relations with others (or try to as much as possible ^^). I'm a firm believer of respecting other people and being considerate and taking account different perspectives, so you won't be seeing me act like one anytime soon. :D

- Know Club Bleach forum's rules.

A year and a few months has passed, so I know the rules quite well. Free from warnings or flame wars or anything really bad, and I'm one of those goody-two-shoes >.>;

- Type us about your best qualities/personalities.

-As I said before, I'm considerate and take into consideration different perspectives/contexts/views and a firm believer of respecting others.
-I think things through before acting, so any actions I would take if I was a mod would have a reason to back it up (as in I would have good reason too).
-I can do things without breaking out into flame wars/swearing/being rude/being aggressive :) (Will be wearing the mod hammer with a smile :D)
-I have a fairly positive disposition and can hopefully show regular members mods can be friendly and sensible without doing/being what was said in above point.
-I can tolerate noobs well (:p) and can share advice to them when needed.

- Experience is not required.

-Although not required, I have a pretty good idea of responsibilities and what can be done as a mod from having powers in the Artist's Guild, Shutter Squad, DGM RP, the past Shinigami Academy and 6th Division- so I won't hassle you with noob questions all the time ^^

Applying for poetry section mod.

Activeness.
Ive been around the forum for 2 years now and I go on everyday for at least 4 hours a day.

Not being a douche.
Try to be equally polite to every member that I interact with, and if I have a problem with that member I will either ignore them or search out a mod to solve the problem.

Know Club Bleach forum's rules.
Yep, most defiently :P


Type us about your best qualities/personalities.

*Patient: Im able to answer all the questions that people may have about the contests run in the poetry section or about the rules that go with the poetry section. Patience I think is an important quality in modding a section as it will give everyone a fair chance to have a go at writing poetry.

*Poet: I myself am a poet, and in being one Im able to empathise with the section that I would be running. I find this a very important part of running a section, the ability to understand the subject that you are policing is invaluable in dealing with the people that frequent that section. This also means that I will have an enthusiastic approach to the section that I run and be able to take on the feedback of the members more easily.

*Friendly: I am friendly to every member that I come across, whether they be a veteran or someone new to the section, I will be able to help them out with their specific questions.



Experience is not required.
I have it though :)


Know how to spam the staff thread.

Ive been doing that already for a year or more :D


Why should I be picked?

I have the experience in the subject that I will be modding and am able to work towards improving the section and the system that is based around it. This will allow me to give my utmost attention to the members needs as a representive of the poets myself. In taking in their requests I will be able to provide a better environment for them to write poetry and create masterpieces in the art of word. :)

[Ai]

Thank you all contestants for getting all your entries in on time..^^..makes it a lot easier and as such the third and final activity can now be posted for you to complete.

Same directions as before, Entry in a spoiler, one post for your entry all discussion goes in the discussion thread.

Activity #3

Change The World...Of The Forum

Applicants are required to make a post at least 2 paragraphs minium explaining the following assuming you would have access to all administrator powers.

What would you change on Clubbleach forums?:
Why would you change it?:
What would you change it to?:

Simply enough. Just answer those three questions in your two paragraphs. You have three - four days from this post to get your entry's in.

Best of luck to all of you.

[Barbaroi]

What would I change - Well, to be honest. I'm not really sure there would be a whole lot I would change, as it's not exactly something I've thought about to any large extent. Well, I guess if I could, I would change activity bars. They just seem to me to pretty much be who ever can wrack up the most posts, non post count or other, to get 100% or have the activity award. It's I guess, as it encourages activity to some extent, but if I could and/or knew how, I would try to make it based more on the quality of posts (don't even know if thats possible) and also time spent online. Just because you don't post a whole lot, doesn't mean that you aren't active. Some people prefer to read and take things in, instead of posting something thats already been said, just wording it to match their opinion. The activity bar would consist of "post count increasing posts" that have some form of quality to them and time spent online, instead of any post anywhere.

Another thing I guess I would change would be adding some form of currency (yup, you heard me DB, you knew it was coming ;) lol). At the moment, some GFX teams, or at least one that I'm aware of, are shut down, because there is no form of currency. REP is not a means of payment by any means. GFX and GFX teams are a big part of CB IMO and should be treated as a big part. Although its one section among many, I believe that a form of currency, would help, not only encourage GFXers to join or current ones to do more/better work, but also promote activity or more activity in the GFX section, knowing they are getting some form of payment for their troubles. Also, something similar to the past VBPlaza would be nice, as the gifts and ribbons were always fun to give out, or buy, to show your support for varying causes.

Also, I think the shoutbox was a good idea, and having that brought back would be nice as well. It never really stopped me from posting, and allowed me to chat with other people, I normally wouldn't have. If I could, I'd bring that back as well, and hopefully improve it so it didn't cause as much lag/delay when loading pages.

Lastly, something I've asked about before. I would try to make it so that, if your set to invisible, and you have people in your friendlist of your profile, they would be able to see you. There are times I'd like to go invisible, but know that if I do, certain people I want to know that I'm online, won't because obviously they wont see me in the online list or have a green light under my name. This way, people on my friendlist can see that I'm online and no one else can.

I don't really know of anything else I would change, and most of the things I said are really small in comparison to the bigger picture. This was a toughy :p

[Dope Hat]

Uff...I actually go to forums cause I like them how they are....if I wanted to change important things I probably wouldn't even be here. xD;

But some minor things I'd do are taking a closer look at the Divisions. There often seem to be problems...
I'd also work closer together with the C46 members and Division Captains - so the organisation runs better. For example the April's Prank and Division Contest Thread. If people would have organisised things better the Contest Week could have started in time - and not a month later... [well - that's how I see it...]
Another minor thing is the style: For example - there are still some buttons which have to be repaired on some skins [those red [x] are annyoing...] - and I'd defenitely get rid of the activity and experience bar....well - at least the activity bar. People who spam the whole day get an higher activity than people who are online, read threw discussions but don't post that much....
About the experience bar...well - it isn't really needed. [Almost] Nobody takes a look there anyway...
The awards are also something I'd repair....because I for example can't see them...

Hmmmm....then I'd also write an e-mail to members who haven't been active in a year....if they don't come back I'd get rid of them. Maybe frees some room on the dataspace and gives members the opportunity to have their usernames [if somebody is interested...]
Then I'd also disable rep in the graphic shops. Since the vbux system has been killed gfxer get their "payment" with rep.....which rises the reputation of some people, who are actually not that active on the forum, imensly. So I'd introduce vbux again or another "payment" system.

Ahhh yes - and I'd also allow bigger profile pictures...at least 500x400

[Kray]

^ I lol'd at the title. <3 Pinky & the Brain :]



If Kray Had His Way
[ tee-hee that rhymes ]

TO BE CHANGED: Tbh, I really love the forums just the way they are. However, I do miss the VBPlaza that we used to have. That way, the contests can go back to normal, and forum activity can continue to soar.

BUT WHY?: In my honest opinion, back when we have the VBPlaza, life was good. Sure there were people cheating at life, and making duplicate accounts, but you just IP ban them and all is well. But srsly, this is when the C46 were having really good contests, and the prizes were good, and the fact that we could buy gifts for people for those special occasions. Those were really neat, and made this forum SO unique from other forums - or at least in my eyes since I don't really go on other forums.

There was something about this forum that drew me to it. I'm not on ANY other forum, and I even tried to be...but nothing kept me wanting to come back. Something did here. Not gonna lie, part of it was how the plaza worked. I wanted to earn enough points so I could buy gifts for people. I actually played those flash games when I got bored [ I was never really good, but I liekd to play! XD ].

I really do think that with the VBPlaza back in place, contests will resume as before, and the divisions will actually have a point, other than just another place to post [ minus other attributes such as the CBNL and the CB Idol ]. So with all that said, that is what I'd instill back into this forum.

All in favor, say "I" :)


_____________________________________

Krays Final Words: Thank you to the 3rd division for putting something together like this. I've been waiting for the next exciting thing to happen on this forum, and you guys did it. And thanks for picking me as a contestant, it was fun.

Good luck to everyone :)

[KaidaSorano]

/me <3's CB mostly how it is.

I read through the others ideas...
it seems the VBPlaza is a really popular thing to bring back.. I agree on a personal level, but am not entirely sure for the forum as a whole. I think I would help bring something like it around again because when i discovered it I found it very entrancing. but i would definitely have the Bank system fixed from what it was when it was finally removed. Bring back Interest, and raise it by x amount for different 'achievements.' I Haven't put too much thought into it but have it increase along with your regular member status, +x for being in a Division or VEQ, and + for the donators too... Again i haven't though about the numbers but I agree that with it paying every 48 hours having large presents is/was ridiculous...

As for actual change.. Hmmm.
Not much I can think of. I was going to suggest a site map but i found it when i actually looked for it. :facepalm:
hmm. The Club Bleach I experience is fine, however I don' partake in any of the 'Art and Graphics' section .. and stay away from the 'Bleach World' Section as a whole. I'm sure If I looked really hard and asked people what they thought then I could find something worth Fixing but i don't see anything really broken. I'd Finish the Skins but thats being done. And I would revive the contests... (also being worked on[or so they say]). and i would see about bringing back the Arcade.(maybe link it to a contest? idk). also I would bring back a Skin like "Solace" i liked how streamline it was and how it hid the user bars

Oh And I would probably find a way to Integrate some(or all) of Kray's CBI Event #1 post..

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY!
All accounts inactive for over a year from the date of my rise to power will be removed. It may look good to have a lot of members but alot of dead weight is all it ends up being as it limits the options of new members in choosing a name... and hinders the name changing of current member.. one of the most frequent complaint I've heard was the name was taken by a leecher that joined in 06 or 05

[silverwolf801]

What would I change in the CB: Ok first off I would like to start off saying that I love to be active so the first thing that i would love to change in the CB is the inactivity of the Captains and the VC. Since these two titles are the main people who run the divisions and who have the mod powers for that division they should have enough decency to either give up their seat or don't take the high ranking seat at all if they are not able to cut it. I would make sure that all the divisions are getting enough help and assistance from their VC and Captains and I will make sure that the Captains and VC don't become hypocrites and tell their division to be active while they themselves aren't.

I would also love to actually change the system on how we will receive money and so on. so I want to reinstate the VBux system. I think that it should come back because it was practically our form of money around the cb. If we need a tag made or had to make some one a tag we always had the VBux as an incentive in creating the tag. The VBux was used for so many things that inspired people around the forum to work harder to get their hands on more of it.


Hm well that is all I would like to change. SOo thanks for taking the time to read this and peace.

[Yamamoto]

Well as my fellow applicants had some ideas taken and lil' old me wanted to be different, what would I change in the forums? Well surprise surprise, I'm focusing on the Trad Art section (again lmao).

As of now, any threads in the Trad Art section are hidden, based on a suggestion from a member who didn't want works to be plaigarised. This is valid indeed, but for me, and maybe some other members- we do want at least some of our works shown to the general public.

In the eyes of an Artist Guild member- we look for more members. In the eyes of a Sketch of the Week and Monthly Art Competition organiser, I'm looking for more participants. With the whole Trad Art section's threads currently hidden from the public- potential members may not know of this community which I am hoping would grow in the near future. Maybe not as big as the GFX section but at least have more members to its community.

My suggestion- simply have an option like Deviantart to have watermarks in your works. Alternatively, the thread maker/owner perhaps could also have an option where he/she can specify to show works to the public/non-members.

Also in the past, the Trad Art also branched out into Fan Art and Photography subsections- the latter being removed. I would at least recreate the Photography section again just because I thought it deserved it's own section, as i felt it didn't sit mixed with the general Trad Art section (thus new members may not know they could post photography in a section dominated by sketches and other trad art). It would be also be the appropriate place for Shutter Squad's Photo of the Month contests.

I just want generally the whole section not be lost in a complete state of unpopularity and quietness :p, especially being overshadowed by it's ever-popular GFX brother section. Just get more budding artist's and photographers in the community :)

lol I seem to be the Trad Art contestant xD

I remember way back when, checking out the Gotei 13 section, that there used to be a section called the "Shinigami Academy". Now, I didn't check it out since I was completely apathetic to what seemed to me as just another way for personal user bias' to be disguised as equal consideration to all applicants. However, if it was what I thought it should be, the "Shinigami Academy" section would be a place where individual users could respond to challenges run by the seperate divisions as to allow for their further consideration to join, other than meeting with prerequisties such as post count or reputation. As an aside, there should also be an emphasis on online gaming/activities outside the forum for users to interact on a different platform.

I read kensei's post and, wull, I also like to be different in mah entry, yet I find myself sticking to my main theme of mutual user competition between the veterans and newcomers. so like, "haha, that was a gg!! we should do it again sometime." boost of confidence and reason to stay. "Reasons to stay" would be my primary motive whenever I would use moderation powers, whether that would be to make a user feel more welcome and create lasting e-friendships, or to politely remind them of forum rules so that they won't get labelled a 'n00b' and therefore become an outcast/inactive user.

Basically, I would change Club Bleach such that it would be more of a community / Internet Care Machine, but at the same time allow for ways that users may compete against each other to increase self worth and confidence to do their best. For it's only by these nutrients that the seed of a new user may grow into a beautiful flower, or whatever they wish to be, such as an alluring Venus Flytrap (such as Kaida), a stiff Cactus (such as Ai), or the always wishful to provide Apple Tree (which I deem myself)

thank you for reading, and I continue to wish the best for all entrants, the fully grown plants that wish to give their best to make this greenhouse of a forum even more bright.

Well I think the first thing that I would concentrate on, as well as many others it seems :p is to reinstate vbux or some sort of monetary system. If vbux was brought back it wouldn't have to be brought back completely, like with all the options to buy stuff. The gifts and ribbons were a great thing to spend vbux on and it was always nice to give gifts. GFX teams could reopen their shops, mine in particular is closed because I don't believe in rep being a form of payment. Other things like thread options could be reinstated with it as well. Vbux were a great prize form for the Gotei too. I know the reason it was taken away is because it became inflated, but perhaps if we work off a real world system it would be better. like if each group was allotted a paycheck every week for their activity.
Regular Members: 10vbux/day (70vbux paycheck/week)
Division Members: 30vbux/day (210vbux paycheck/week)
Captains: 50vbux/day (350vbux paycheck/week)
Staff: 70vbux/day (490vbux paycheck/week)
so on.. (and these numbers are just examples)
They would all get this "paycheck" at the end of every week. If a member is part of multiple categories, only the highest applies to them..
Also turn interest on to a real life rate of 3-5% per month.
Then you decide on a realistic (but not easy) price for things in the vbplaza like 500/gift would seem reasonable to me. This would keep it from inflating. Gotei vbux prizes could be no more than 2-3,000vbux for first, and so on..

The 2nd thing I would put my attention and resources into is our affiliation program. Right now we have a thread about it, but nothing is going on. I would take into my responsibility to restart the affiliations and incorporate a scrolling affiliation bar at the bottom of the forum. We have over 50,000 members and they are not all only apart of this forum. We could very easily increase our member count and name by affiliating with as many other forums as we can. Members who obtain/help with the affiliation can be rewarded with a small amount of vbux (if they were to be brought back) or a simple Affiliation counter below their Referrals counter. This is a very easy way to put CB's name out into other forums and get new members.

The 3rd thing I would focus on would be reinstating the arcade. The arcade was a fun place that kept ppl busy on the forum when it was a little slow, it was used for gotei challenges occasionally and even inner division challenges. Overall it wasn't anything incredibly important to the forum, but a lot of members enjoyed it and had fun with it.

These are the top 3 things that i would put my time into, to help CB grow and stay active :)

What would you change on Clubbleach forums?: To me as Supermod I am a governing part of the forum, and so I dont see there is much to change that we arnt currently in the middle of, or are discussing, but there are a few idea's that come to mind.

*Forum wide contests* That involve not only the gotei but the whole of CB with some sort of prize as reward. It would also contain a variety of different sections so that everyone is able to compete.

*Year contests* Competition between the different year groups. This would have of course a limited amount of people that would compete that were chosen by that year since some years have bigger numbers than others.

*Arcade (bring back)* Bring back the arcade part of the forum, it was always a bit of retro fun :)

*Bleach debating teams* Official bleach debating teams for those who really enjoy looking at the finer points of bleach, this would include a prize for the winners and of course someone would moderate the debate.


Why would you change it?: Just because I think those are relatively good idea's that would improve the interest in the forum and increase activity.

What would you change it to?: I would not exactly change it, rather I would attempt to organise and implement those idea's that I suggested above.

O_O

I cant believe I procrastinated enough to be last...


I see that many ideas that I have had have already been used... To state them would make me appear to follow the trend, which isnt a really good thing to do....

What would I do: If I had one sh--- I mean if I had admin powers, there is not much I would do that the admins already in power are not doing... ((They are great btw)) one of the few things I can thing of is to reimpliment VBux. But not only do that, but also keep the divisional points too... That way, divisions would also get their own special prizes.

I would also impliment the big forum idea I used for the first submission. I know.... It was already used, but this site is basically perfect. But I would impliment it to promote new members and more activity. Some people have their specialties... and there is no "true" video game section on here... and alot of the members are total video game freaks.

So what would I change it too? I think that was awnsered when I said what I would do...
I know that the members of CB seem to be split down the middle when it comes to re-implimenting Vbux.... I dun know why it just isn't given back. But I know if it isnt, the admins have a valid reason in doing so.

>.>

Totally off the wall, but I would also increase the filesize of allowed avatars for people in prestige groups ((Divisions, GFX, Donators, etc)) by another 50 Kb.... Some people like animated GIF's for their sig, and they are only 20 Kilobytes too large to use..... So yea.... my suggestions in a nutshell.

So I would like to wish everyone luck, and may the contestent with the best entries win.

Thank you ALL for participating in such a timely manner! I'm so ashamed of myself; I've procrastinated to the latest possible. All entries have now been judged. The top three contestants will be notified soon.
