Is it time for a Force.net Version 2.0? (Now discussing the new nav menus)

With the sucess of facebook, youtube, hulu.net, WOW and other more actively involved websites the questions begs. Are we the JC and the The force.net apart of the Internet V1.0? I believe we are, furthermore as a community I believe we can use the community itself to help design the the next version. Something that will have all the functionalities of facebook, youtube and even hulu.net yet still maintain the air of independance that is the Force.net. Something that will revolutionize the internet and becoming not just a good forum to post on but an active community that attracts thousands to share in the joy of SW. Becoming more of a community in the process. Yes it will take money, and yes it will take time. But I believe all of us can contribute to making the the force.net the website all SW fans want to be on and be apart of.

So as a group how about we start thinking of ways to enhance our experience and make this place a thriving community like it was was all those years ago.

And yes PhilipWise will need to be involved.

 

Adding some fancy new features will not attract a huge amount people to this website. People come here because of Star Wars, specifically Star Wars movies. If they are not around you won't get people visiting regardless of what changes are made. As far as the TV show is concerned, I don't know what's going on with it and if it will bring more users here.

But tell us what are your ideas?

 

let's team up with Steve Jobs and make iForce!

TubeForce?

TheForce.tube?

What is twitter? A message board format but with less capacity for messages. Facebook? Your profile with a message board format. You update your "status", say hello etc. You do that here anyway. There really is nothing archaic about a message board.

Do you know what the next big communications format will be? Some form of message board/blog format where people type words at each other.

 

I wish the TF.N main page went back to it's old design.....................................that design was pure awesome.

beezel is launching a revolution. It's a new day. Not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning.
Notify Philip Wise of these developments immediately.

EDIT: Is this your first comms thread with a question mark?

 

I was actually referencing this old style: Clicky here

 

what is the force.net?

 

The JC does give problems to new browsers. I use IE 7 and have to use it in Compatability Mode or the text seems to go a bit awol.

But somehow, whenever speculation goes around there are some drastic changes happening, they usually don't.

 

We can't even get a mod to stick around to take care of an out of date text message board, and your suggestion is to throw video in it?

I agree.

 

so, about an hour then ?

Would text showing up inappropriate on IE be a significant issue seeing as IE is still the most popular browser ?

 

Holy ****.

 

So when are we moving?

 

Isn't the issue that Microsoft seem unable to make robust software ?

 

Srsly. WTH. Grimby, you are AMAZING.

 

impressive programming, but will those menu's be customisable ?
otherwise it seems less hassle to click on 'jedi council forums' then pick your next forum from your favourites (ie the current format) ?

 

We will be able to turn them on and off? I am sure not all users will like them and might wish they could disable them.

 

what's different?

edit: oh nvm. Wasn't using the mouse

 

Will we still have a favorites list to use?

Like malkie, I think this method is perfectly fine. I'd much rather click on jedi council forums, and select from the list of my favorites I've already chosen.
