Expanding Creative Writing

[Bobby]

I was thinking that we should maybe expand creative writing into just all things creative. Like photography, independant films, anything creative that your making, or is made. This give people an even greater outlet to show their creative side.

Thoughts?

[DouggyO.o]

OOOOOOOOH!!!!!! i like this idea! i do photography, film making, and photo touching.

i think that would be a great idea, maybe make a sub forum in creative writing for other things.

[Bobby]

Not a sub forum, just changing the forum description and name.

[Aηdy]

I agree!

[Maverick]

Great idea, Bobby. I agree with it and it should be one forum. No subforums.

[DouggyO.o]

Not a sub forum, just changing the forum description and name.

yea, either way it sounds like a great idea

[Whisper]

anything creative has always been allowed independant film should still be in the 4th wall i think anyway
but storys, poems, photography, drawing, etc... have always been allowed
since befor i joined...like...3yrs ago
I think its a good idea
go for it
as long as its a good name!!!!

[redcar]

As Cody said it has always been allowed, but I am up for changing the name of the forum to emphasise this.

Suggestions for a new name?

[DouggyO.o]

yea like, "The Art Room"

Or if you wana get funny

"Th3 Årt ®öøm"

[Dante]

Bobby great idea.

[Bobby]

How about: The Creativity Corner

[Whisper]

Th3 Årt ®öøm

that kicks ass

[Underground_Network]

How about: All Things Creative
Or: Artworks Arena
Or: The Corner of Creation (similar to Bobbys suggestion)
Or: The Alley of Artworks
Or: The Creative Ceiling

[Kiros]

Yeah, this is a good idea - although it's already been said before that it's always been allowed. A name change sounds good. Though should we have a main forum being like "Creative Stuff" (or whatever the name will be) and then have sub forums for each genre of things, like what was mentioned before - writings, photography, etc. Maybe make more as they're thought up? Just an additional thought...

Anyway, sounds good, Bobby :)

i like this idea, when they open up that forum have like 205 subforums

these are the catagories i think should go in

Creative writing
Photography
Drawing
Digital drawing/editing
Film making
and Music

[Underground_Network]

The Concept Room of Creative Thinking? Lmao that names too long...
How about The Crib of Creativity? Freedom of Expression? The Center of Creation? Or The Creativity Center? Hmmm I think center is a better word than corner, but I think it sounds better as corner.. Hmmm :P Hope my suggestions are of benefit!

TO ADD: Wait two things, for music, if you're talking about song writing that still fits under creative writing, and anything else music wise should go in the 4th wall.

[Maverick]

I think we should add subforums until a subject gets popular enough for one.

[Bobby]

Yea, I agree with anthony.

How about, "The Desk"

[Underground_Network]

How about the Thought Box... or the Thinking Station
or the Imagination Area?
Hmmm idk... my ideas stink lol.

[Maverick]

bump

[redcar]

Mmm how did this get forgotton.

Right I have added a poll to this and used a selection of names that people came up with. So I think if people voted on the one they think is best, we could change it to that.

As for subforums, they seem like a pretty good idea. At the beginning anyway I don't think that we should have too many, so how about five or six to get the ball rolling? So what do you think they should be?

[Underground_Network]

Gawd, Its so hard to decide, I have no clue... Hmmm....

[Everglow]

i totally like the sound of Th3 Årt ®öøm...it allows everyone to express and share any and all forms of their creativity...whether it be photography, poems, drawings or anything else that is creative and encompasses art as a whole.

ps..i def like the characters too..they're pretty tight.

[Underground_Network]

I think Th3 Årt ®öøm does not fully describe it, I think All Things Creative is better, because its more ambiguous and lets everything fit. The idea is that we're allowing everything that has to do with creativity into this forum, so why not name it All Things Creative? Not that this is a debate, just letting out my thoughts.

[redcar]

Don't forget that we can and probably have to change the description of the forum as well.

Thoughts?

Awsome idea!

But I absolutely hate all the names given for us >.< It has to be more professional, and more open/inviting and less 5-yearoldish names (thinks about the 'creativity corner') and less uptightness...The Desk? I don't want to go there o.o
Thought Box... or the Thinking Station
or the Imagination Area?
Lol no offence :P


I like Th3 Årt ®öøm as well...inviting, friendly, interesting! But whatever we choose, we need a description for the forum too.

[Underground_Network]

Two people posted saying they like Th3 Årt ®öøm, but only one of them voted, just noting that. And... hmmm... my brain stopped functioning... my minds at a blank... I don't think I can think of a description until after I know the name.

[0=]

How about "We're all here thinking about thinking about doing something with our thoughts and ideas, we think."

[Everglow]

ummm.....no

[Bobby]

Creative Writing
Photography
Hand Done (paintings,sketches)
Other

Those would be could sub-forms.

[Maverick]

I think it will look weird having the funky lettering with Th3 Årt ®öøm.

[Bobby]

I think that's the point, it's kinda funky.

[DouggyO.o]

since it was my idea i say the art room( even though i forgot the keybored codes to make them funky letters.

[Maverick]

I'm in favor of the art room

[DouggyO.o]

so are we going to do this thing or not?

[redcar]

We are indeed.

As for the subforums, does anyone have any suggestions for what they should be?

[Maverick]

Bobby did on the other page. :P

[redcar]

I know I saw them, just checking to make sure everyone else wants those ones. We are a democracy after all! :P

[Aηdy]

Yeah just do what bobby said lol.

[Maverick]

Creative Writing
Photography
Hand Done (paintings,sketches)
Other

Those would be could sub-forms.
Artwork would be better than "hand done."

[MoveAlong]

Artwork would be better than "hand done."

I agree with this

[Kiros]

I think "Other" should at least be called "Other Works" ... otherwise, it's too palin :|

I'm all for The Art Room (funkitized though). And why don't we put it in alphabetical order (except with Other Works being at the bottom)?

So with that said, this is what it might look like :?:

-- The Art Room
---- Artwork
---- Creative Writing
---- Photography
---- Other Works

I'm not saying this is the way it'll be, I'm just kind of suggesting it. Anyone else like it to be "Other Works" instead of "Other" and for it to be in alphabetical order?

[Maverick]

I agree with you 100% Kiros.

I strongly agree with alla dat ^

[Bobby]

I agree with you Kiros.

[DouggyO.o]

agreeed

[Aηdy]

I prefer "The art room" without the retarded letters.

[Kiros]

Really? I kind of liked it, myself :|

[MoveAlong]

Same here :-\

[Maverick]

Yeah, the forum is supposed to be about art and creativity so why not the title reflect that?

[DouggyO.o]

thats exactly why i used those letters to make it seem artistic....so yea go for it!

[redcar]

I am liking the layout. Looking pretty good indeed.

[Kiros]

So should we go for this? Make it happen?

[Bobby]

Please do! :)

[Maverick]

Go for it

[redcar]

Okie dokie, what do people think of it?

I put in some temporary descriptions so if you have better ones please share them, as I am pretty hopeless with mine!:P

[DouggyO.o]

Tres Tres Bien!

[MoveAlong]

I'm a happi bunnie! :)

[Bobby]

I think they are fine! Awesome :)

[Maverick]

Should we do away with the photo album in The White Padded Room since we have a whole subforum dedicated to photography now?

[Bobby]

No, those are just photos with absolutely no artistic intention in them (except a few)

[DouggyO.o]

No, those are just photos with absolutely no artistic intention in them (except a few)

i agree

[Maverick]

If we cover creative writing, artwork, and photos is there really a need for an "other works"?

Creative writing, artwork, and photography seem to cover everything.

[Bobby]

I think it's just something that needs to be there, you never know.

[Maverick]

Well it would be just stupid to have an empty forum there, too.

[redcar]

I think its good to keep it there. Like someone may want to post a video they like or of themselves, I know we have had about 2 videos posted before of members, but I think its good to keep the option open in the event that something comes up.
