Suggestions and Feedback thread.
The last owner of the board didn't do shit. He made one post and called it quits. I see a lot of promise in this board. However it's obvious that I can improve a few things.
Let's see what we can fix.

Enabled video embedding. Go wild.
You can also upload .pdfs. This will make sharing books a bit easier.

Oh yeah, can you sticky the habitrpg thread? We're going to make an /improve/ guild. We already made a party.

>>426>How did you switch ownership of the board with the previous owner? I was going to create a self improvement board but was surprised to see that one with some activity was already there.
The board was considered inactive and the original owner hadn't logged in since it's creation. So I sent an email to claim the board as I felt it had a lot of promise.
>Can a board owner see people's IP or if someone is samefagging?I can ban by IP and I can see if somebody is samefagging. I can enable ID's but I feel that the board is fine by just being anonymous.
>>427Done. I haven't used HabitRPG in ages so I'll probably join the Guild.
Also, I'm adding some banners. I've tried to make a few but I feel they're pretty mediocre. I'll be making some more, but if others want to contribute I'll be adding those too.

I've also been thinking of adding a sticky much like /fit/. With recommended reading and the like. This sticky would double as the rules post too.

>>428Send your user ID so we can add you into the party, we're starting a quest on monday. Once we get 30+ people in the party we will make the guild.
>>429Yeah that would actually be really good. Especially if some random guy stumbled upon this board, it's the ideas that make a self improvement board in my opinion.
Any idea on how you will make this board grow? I've been shilling it out on /adv/ a bit, not sure if any of the people that came here decided to stay though.
No.431
>>430I'll start working on the sticky. I just need some time to gather my resources.

Also, My user ID, I was dead for quite a while so I've lost everything. Ah well. Time to start it again I suppose.
This is my first time moderating a board on 8chan. I'll try to think of a few ways to get the community to grow.
No.432
>>431Out of interest, are you accepting any board volunteers or whatever they are called?
I'd gladly shill out the board and help with creating the sticky. Been posting here regularly(Samefagging a lot) so you know I want to see this board get bigger like you do.
If not, it's understandable. In that case if the day ever comes when you need an extra helping hand, I'd gladly help.
No.433
>>432Alright, I created a volunteer account. What's your name on HabitRPG? I'll send you the username and password.
I'm currently working on the sticky, but help is appreciated.

One thing I'd suggest is to find a way to keep people accountable to their goals. for example. a work out group that has to do their work out in a webcam chat. or some other way that other users can point at that person and say "get back to work."
No.444
>>434We have something like this going on in the habitrpg party.
Tomorrow the party is starting a quest. Basically every time someone completes their dailies they injure the boss and every time someone doesn't complete a daily it hurts the entire party and thus adds a level of accountability to the whole thing.
No.456
Should we make a Steam group? I know not everyone has a Steam but I find it can be easier to improve with the support and fellowship of others.
No.487
>>434As an addendum to this I suggest adding UIDs. Besides lowering the samefag shitposting it would be helpful in report threads and the like, without the need of everyone becoming tripfags.
No.489
owner of /si/ here. i'll give you the board if you want.
No.490
>>456We have a good thing going in the habitrpg party, it's also good that habitrpg centres around self improvement
No.491
>>487I don't think that UIDs should be activated, for the same reason they aren't activated on boards like /adv/. Some people want to remain completely anonymous when sharing their problems.
I do however think tripfags should be encouraged. For instance, we could make a stickied thread where something like this
>>434 happens. Everyone in said thread uses trips to identify each other and help and update each other on progress. Hell it can even be made mandatory to have trips in said thread if people wanted it like that. Mods can just edit a person's post to add in a user ID if a person doesn't use them in that specific thread.
So far there has been almost non-existent shit posting, although this may change in the future, for now it's fine.
No.494
>>491I saw a bit of shit posting before. I think the issue that is going to come up is
"HOW DO I GET A QT3.14 GF?"
"HOW DO I GET SEX?"
Most of the time they are not genuine about improving and it seems like shitposting.
Maybe all that shit can get directed somewhere else. I'd be all for a threads that actually looked like people were genuinely trying to improve but it just seems like shitposting.
No.501
not entirely sure this is a good idea myself, but maybe we should encourage tripfaggotry? it would fit well with the nature of this board, as we could see how certain users improve, and judge the quality of their advice based on their reputation on the board
No.508
Uh, I'm the original owner. Just putting my $0.02 out there that I wasn't able to do shit. My computer was fried from old age (Pentium 4 Dell prebuilt from the early 00's, RIP) and on top of that, I had to go across the fucking continent to see family for Christmas.
Feel free to call me a faggot, but I wasn't physically capable of doing dick. I just got a shitty laptop off of Craigslist earlier today.

Several boards have been the target of wipe bots, you might want to take precautions now.
Us on /cyber/ lost our entire board and had to rebuild.
No.1090
You fucked up the tag. it's registered as
###self-improvement###.
Also, add more tags. This is totally fitness related. Hijack some of those. Look through the biggest tags and see what this relates to.
No.1122
>>1090Fixed.
Here are my current plans for this board.
Make a new background skinMake a sticky detailing how to start a new routine, whether study, fitness or generalIn the post where the sticky will be I'll also build an archive of relevant self-improvement videos, sites etcI might try cover depression and anxiety in the sticky but I'm not sure about that.
