Groovyville: A New Forum

Kana · 04-23-2008, 06:25 AM

I created a new forum a few days ago and I would like to issue an open invitation, with Eric's permission. The site is called Groovyville, as a mixture of PoliticalGroove and Rumbleville. It is a social site for members of these forums to hang out, where politics isn't the dominant issue. I'm aiming for a friendly, fun atmosphere. The site will be strict on the issue of harassing and personal attacks against other members, but people of all political ideologies are welcome.

There are sections for serious discussion, but they are tucked away at the bottom of the page. The emphasis is on chilling out and playing around. There is an arcade with hundreds of different flash games to play. Those with the highest score will have a little champion badge above their avatar. I also added a few other game-type features recently that you can explore.

Groovyville is not meant as a competitor to the political forums. It is instead a place where we can gather to kid around and put our politics aside.

The layout is a little whack on my Mac. And, you need a big fat ass registration button/menu item.

Did you have trouble registering? I see you there (You're Daddy O, Right?), but not validated yet. I'm worried that the validation e-mails aren't so reliable.

Also, the registration link is up next to "Welcome Guest". I had trouble finding it at first glance, too. I'll see about adding a larger button.

I had a bit of a hard time registering from a novice perspective. Usually, the "Register Now" button/link is near the "Log In" button/link. I'm also having trouble with PMs.

Nice concept though. We'll talk.

I switched off e-mail validation, and but it says you and Refuge are not validated, so I'm taking care of you two manually.

Also, one issue with PMs, the CC box is very large and when I first created the account, I mistakenly took the CC box to be the main message box. After getting errors for several minutes, I finally realised I was typing my message in the CC box, and had to scroll down for the actual message box.
