Homepage suggestions

Hey Guys,

The youtube video script seems to be broken that I installed a few months ago, and I’m not sure how much I liked it to begin with. I am hoping for some suggestions for some new features for the homepage. If you liked the youtube video script and want me to fix it, let me know… if you have some new ideas for the homepage also let me know… I would appreciate any feedback which would make the homepage more interesting to visit.

Thanks!
Derek

theme song would be cool
marcus :mrgreen:

I second that.

Hey Derek.

Yeah, I was not really a fan of those youtube videos there at all. I do like the featured artist though. I think that’s pretty cool.

How about replacing the youtube videos with photo of the day or photos of the week, or something like that?

I do think the theme songs would be awesome, but I know you ran into some trouble with that before.

I thought the video section was pretty cool. But i like the idea of a “photos of the week” section as well. Great site though Derek, thanks a lot for creating and keeping this place up and running. MM.net is awesome my friend… Cheers :drinkers:

Yeah, the photo of the week thing would be awesome.

A flash box that shows the best masks of all the members, and maybe include some actual members pictures

A randomized picture slideshow showing all attachments uploaded to the site thus far…

Options for RSS feeds (Both General Disco and Classifieds)

The YouTube bit can go…more often than not the videos aren’t even related to the movies/collecting.

Thanks for valuing our opinion and sugestions, Derek!

how about “Halloween” news on the homepage. Like new dvd releases, new masks, or new movies coming soon?

that would be great.

I like this idea

Thanks i think it would be helpful :wink:

What about a section full of screencaps of all Halloween movies, that you can use fast to compare Replicas/Heros or whatever…???

I’ve watched a few of the YouTube vids…they’re cool, but for those of us who take our collections seriously I kinda see them as a no-brainer…we can find them on our own & share them w/ new members who request said knowledge.

Amen to this! Maybe a slide-show or something? There’s several members here who have one or many outstanding pieces in their collections…it’d be great to have access to a “gallery-section” containing a montage of our most screen accurate/original sculpts/artists interpretations/etc. to really give newcomers AND “OGs” alike to see what’s out there - AND KEEP IT CIVIL EVERYONE! We all have our opinions, but if Derek, J, or any other mod decides it belongs there - deal with it! I trust their judgment as I’m sure many of you do as well :wink:

It WOULD take lots of effort the parts of MODS & ADMINS, but I can see how this would benefit! :smiley:

Again, a terrific idea! News on upcoming releases - either filmwise of in the mask/prop department. I’m sure many of us would be intrigued, JC diehards as well as RZ Remake enthusiasts alike…we’re all united under one GREAT idea…

…The Boogeyman! :smiling_imp:

Or maybe I’m just the loner here who feels this way alone, without the support of any fellow collectors?

-This isn’t really for the home page, but what about a “score of the month” thing. At the end of the month we can take all of the masks from the “new score” threads, and have a vote on what mask was the best score for that month. I always thought this would be cool. And the score of the month winner could be posted on the homepage somewhere for the remainder of the next month until a new winner is decided.

-A little box showing off the best masks each member has would be very cool, as Ron said in an earlier post. I’m for that 100% I think this feature should replace the youtube vid thing.

-I’m kind of indifferent to the theme song. I guess it would be a nice addition to the site.

-Definitely keep the featured artist thing, but actually update it. HSS has been the only featured artist so far.

-A section for screencaps would be FANTASTIC as another member pointed out (again, not for the homepage but a nice addition to the site). It would eliminate all of the "HELP!!! NEED SCREENCAPS! threads. Also in the gallery, how about adding some galleries for the different conversion artists? For instance instead of having one H78 gallery, have a Nik/Hallows H78 gallery, a Nik/JC H78 gallery and so on…

-How about changing up the pics on the boxes at the top of the home page? We’ve been using those same pics for a while… I think changing them up would be cool.

That’s all I got for now.

I think the featured artist should be changed more often as well.Derek, Thanks for everything …I do think the RZ masks should be in general dicussion.The RZ thread was made when all the argueing about the films was going on.I think an RZ mask has just as much right to be in general discussion as an H78 , H8,H5 or any mask.I know people are proud of their RZ mask just like any other score.I think we should dump the RZ thread all together.

How about a FACT section on the history of each mask from each movie (who made it, how many were made, etc.)

heres an idea… make a list of latest discussions for us RZ fans to like the current one for General Discussion… that would keep people like me from posting in general in order to get everybody to look at our threads

thats my fav idea so far!

in all fairness how about a “recent discussion” list for the RZ halloween forum?
or better yet just let RZ masks and costume pics be posted in the general discussion. not discussion of the films just the masks.
i mean this is an equal rights board, right?

thats exactly what i said…i mean a lot of good topics for the RZ films get looked over because there isnt an updated list of the new topics…but i imagine there are a lot more people here that dont like the RZ films than there are that like it :unamused: o well democracy at its best i guess haha
