I could swear that there was a feature under preferences where you could change the colour scheme under preferences to an orange, blue background etc... unless that was a dream? I can't find it now...

I would like to see a story section.

Yes!!! And a poetry/incantation section too?

As far as I remember, I only ever implemented this dark theme for WF.

In what category would these sections go? Tavern? Surely not occult discussion/the congress...?

If Tavern, I think stories and poetry can go in the 'Arts' section for now. When there is a significant amount of threads regarding poetry/stories, then they can get their own sections. Same thing with the phsychedelia section someone suggested in the suggestions section. There just isn't enough content in these topics to warrant new sections yet, imo.

I'm mainly looking for ideas on how to divide up the congress/occult discussion sections. I'm open to completely new sections, but only ones where those topics simply cannot fit in already existing sections.

Being able to edit whenever, would help my posts to be more understandable.

You'll have to wait for account upgrades for that one

Thoughts? Gotta start somewhere...

Actually looks kinda dope, tbh.

Love it - An occult site should have some quirkiness and character. The main section names are charming.

If we do have a marketplace. Is it really ethical to sell entities? Like already bound djinn...or servitors...

Servitors maybe, but I highly doubt we would see services like that. These things should be done by yourself.

I guess time will tell. I will formulate and adopt rules and guidelines as we progress. It's really hard to be objective and come up with very aligned and applicable rules before we actually open the marketplace and experience it.

Servitors maybe, but I highly doubt we would see services like that. These things should be done by yourself.

I tend to agree...

I don't know if you already intended this, but maybe a special little private corner for paying members could be nice.
To talk trash

We're not going to get all "what are you wearing?" are we?

 

[Yazata]

what are you wearing

Yoga pants and a hoodie. I like comfort over style.

I do, actually

Just finishing up some work before christmas, then I'll get on to implementing these changes one by one.

I don’t have anything to add other then Precaution about “The Bazaar” since vetting can be difficult; otherwise, looks good to me.

Is there any chance of you guys of dividing the forums, into categories? Maybe, you can add an Astral Projection section, and a Lucid Dream section as well? Just suggestion. Thank you.

Are you under the impression that the forum is not currently divided into categories? There are 20+ forums and subforums divided into 4 categories.

However, you have given me a good idea. I think a new section titled "Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, and Psychedelics" should be added, and will kill 3 birds in 1 stone.

Nice

What about giving it an RPGish title too like the Congress, Tavern etc? "The looking glass, The Campfire, The Black Mirror?"

Issue with this is, if it is not immediately apparent which section people should post a topic in, then there will be countless people lazily posting in the wrong, or some general section. So for now, Forum names will remain decscriptive, familiar and clear. Category names don't usually have this
problem...

Let's see how it goes.
