What should we do next?



What's up one and all!
Dudes and gals, we need help.
We want YOU to send in some ideas.

Our Improvement Plan - Free Rider

You can send in suggestions on this page describing what we can do
to make this site better and have more people come in to check us out.
This is what we have so far.

The Current Moderators' ideas are below:
Wild-Kat's Ideas
Raptor2's ideas
+ Re-write the "How to add your tracks" page. It is true that we are the #1 source for stolen tracks. People are relying on an open-based system to post their tracks containing codes. I would preferably delete ALL tracks [keep the codes though] and then post them in a database [FR2DB or TRACKMILL] and create links on tracks pages to be re-directed to those sites. This is an ongoing example with Svinepels and Milkshake. If you take a good look at their Track pages, you will see not ONE code, but a neat, organized page with links to their tracks. This will prevent others from stealing our tracks and will put an ultimate end to the situation.
+ Help out those who are joining to become familiar with Wetpaint features by introducing a whole entire page filled with content that tutors new users on things like How to Create Links to Other Pages or How to Add/Save/Load Tracks and other great stuff! Basically, just create a page giving How-To's and Tips
"Done!" - Svinepels
+ Try out all the tracks in the pages or database and snap pics of them to increase the attractiveness of those pages and give a preview to the users who want to play them [Herska's Original idea... LOL]
"Starting this now: going from the top. Also will mess with making pages look attractive." -Moyyom
+ Create a page that contains reliable downloads for those who want to use specific programs to create content such as pics and videos of their tracks. This page could be placed under support and could be monitored by the mods themselves to ensure that all downloads are safe and virus-free.
Milkshake's Ideas Svinepels' ideas
+ Merge FreeRider-Tracks.com Community Quality SuperVision and Author&Rider into one organization with a name like "Free Rider Tracks Rating System" or something. The pages will be improved and organized better.

+ Add numbered pages to each category in the Free Rider 2 Tracks Section. Less content on each page!
Herska's Ideas
+ Multiple pages for every track type page so it's not that laggy
Working on it... - Herska & Lukea

+ Combine FRT CQS and Author and Rider
"Done!" - Herska

+ Start nominate the tracks to get awards in the end of 2009
+ Add links to how to add your tracks to the top of every track type home page
"Done!" - Herska

+ No wix widgets in public pages! They're too hard on your computer, this equals to LAG.
"Umm, not done?" - Herska

+ Replace "Free Rider Readables" with something more interesting.
"Done!" - Svinepels

+ Give the average users the chance to rate tracks (Well this is really a job for me as the creator of FRT CQS)
Working on it... - Herska

+ Update the how to add your tracks page and add my Security tutorial there. It's written in the threads under the page.
"Done!" - Svinepels

+ Encourage users to search for threads before starting threads on common questions.
Add this to the message sent to new users?

+ Remove the uncategorized tracks and tracks by powerup pages, this way it's easier to supervise the tidyness of the pages and these two pages are either very unpopular or pretty useless. No offense to Sviney :P

+ Have a huge cleanup and DELETE the tracks in the wrong categories, broken autos and such. It's practically impossible for us to move them to the right pages and the authors can still find their tracks from the page history. But still we should inform people well in advance about this.
I will volunteer to play through the track pages and delete wrong tracks

Comment:
Tyred- The whole reason is because I don't want to remove mine! XD
(I mean the wix)
Campbell_94's Ideas
+ I think this site needs to have a few more contests every now and then
even if there is no prize but just to get featured on the home page.
I think this will increase the activity on this site a lot
+ I also think we should promote a few volenteers that volenteer to help clean up all of the pages on this site and once there done just 'de-promote' them and have a reward maybe as a featured track on the homepage or something
+ Even though the moderators have made numerous pages to show new members how to add tracks and use this wetpaint site there are still always new members that are confused so i think we need to make it clearer to them on how to add tracks and advertise it more and bigger
Moyyom's Ideas +Make all pages such as the Free Rider 2 game pages[all the pages run by the staff] look much better than they do already, working on custom images now.

-
I think it would be a good idea if there was a poll every week to decide the featured track and author, the mods could each choose a track and author every week and the people who the mods picked all go onto the poll for us all to decide who is featured.
-
I also think that it would be a good idea to add the URL of the tutorial page to the message that gets sent to new members. (Done) I think :)





soulsageg23: music! definitely music videos! plus more solo contests! daily jokes and
funny,appropriate youtube videos!
No name???name ??? <<<<<<
Comment by Tyred: Sorry, but the mods AND ANYBODY on this site, are not the creators.
Make Free Rider 3
DEV104 some ideas could be maybe giving people the chance to try out the site from different links. like if we could add some links to like youtube and add this site to miniclip's sports game section or maybe addicting games' sports section. Giving everyone a chance to be a critic and perform what they think should be done to a normal page or even the home page.
Tyred GET 5 MORE MODS!!!!!!
