    Speak Your Mind - June 2011

    It's been just over a year since we had our last speak your mind!

    So much has happened in the last year that it is almost absolutely unbelievable. Tons of you will have no idea what a speak your mind is. It's a platform for us to ask you what you like about RUL, What you dislike, and what you'd like to see added/changed. All you need to do is fill in the copy, paste and fill in the template below. Try to fill in three things for each section. Though we'd love to hear as much as possible you all, so if you want to add more than feel free.

    Likes:
    1. Example
    2. Example
    3. Example
    Dislikes:
    1. Example
    2. Example
    3. Example
    Wants:
    1. Example
    2. Example
    3. Example

    As suggestions on what to put down for each heading? I have to quote Greenskull, as he put it down eloquently last year.

    For Likes, simply put things you think RUL is doing right, and that make you keep coming back to the site.

    For Dislikes, put things that you aren't too fond of, or you think are detrimental to the overall community.

    For Wants, put things you would love to see RUL implement in the future. Feel free to dream a little, but don't go too far. If you say things that are too out there, it won't be helpful to me or the other staff.

    The head staff will be monitoring this thread and commenting.

    I'm going to be making these more frequent, starting from this point we'll be asking you for input twice, or possibly even four times a year.

    Likes:
    1. Minecraft forum
    2. New's Section/Home Tab
    3. Find a Teammate
    Dislikes:
    1. Minecraft forum is ABOVE the chatbox
    2. The lack of "events" or Activity's of RUL
    3. The two RUL logos at the top... looks tacky to me.
    Wants:
    1. More Event's/Activity's, not so much giveaways but just community things to do.
    2. One awesome logo, instead of two logos on top of every RUL page.
    3. When you enter www.ReadyUpLive.com I want to see the "Home" Tab not Forum.
    4. Minecraft forum to be below the chat box... It's a tad bit hard to notice when its above it.

    Jawwi: The tabs at the top are for outside traffic to find important things. They will be changed to other important things as we go.

    Darko: The words Ready Up Live isn't a logo. It's the name of the site. The logo is beside it. Many sites you go to will both have a logo and words.

    The subforum category is a glitch and can easily be fixed.

    Likes:
    - Some great community members
    - Forums on almost anything you can think of

    Dislikes:
    - The logo/title (looks messy and not eye pleasing)
    - The lack of recognition of members and the demotion of members without notice
    - The lack of contests and tournaments (which should be almost bi-monthly with the estimated money being made off advertising, premiums, and free stuff obtained by staff members)

    Wants:
    - Ability to click on banner at the top to bring me back home
    - New look that doesnt look so template based, a web 2.0 look, cleaner

    Hippo: We need both the logo and the title Ready Up Live. I'm open to ideas as to another way to show both.

    The site costs $100+ a month to run and ads make about half that. We lose money. We can't afford it, unfortunately. Publishers are also not giving handouts like they used to.

    This site should in no way cost $100+ a month... :s
    What services are you using that pump up the prices so much? It should be no more than $15/month for a site this size...

    And Im not saying dont show both, Im saying they need improvement. Sure, they were good when the website was a baby, but when looking at newer logos, they are much more sleek and modern compared to the ones the site has now. I think the logo needs a re-invention (but this is just my opinion).

    We already reinvented it not too long ago. And the traffic this site gets destroys hosting. I have tried EVERYTHING below the current plan and they all got just wiped out. The only way the site can remain stable is with a server to itself.

    Would you be opposed to me possibly making some mock-ups for a new logo+title? They'd keep the same basic design, of course, just look a bit more streamlined. I've been debating doing something like this for a while, but didn't know when or where it was appropriate to ask you. I'm hoping it's here and now...
