Moonlight ( Genereal and roleplaying site. ) Need Staff!

[Pulsefire]

Ok I made an account and made a welcom topic for the site in introductions bit is WIP. I need to know, what is your plan for the future of this site and how are you planning to active it? Like getting users too? Ther will be a time until you get a good 100 Sighned up users that you only need three or four admins and staff right? Basic website management?

My plan is to get it more active and I am advertising it on another site. I need only 3-4 staff and admin. I can't really think of any basic website management.

Ok. I take a business clas and a website management class in my highschool so I will give you some tips.

1: every little detail counts. When you post help forms, make sure when you reference a part of the site to include a URL to ease access and lower user frustration.

2: DO NOT JUST ACCEPT ANY STAFF. make sure that the staff you want to hire or already have, make sure they have at least background knowledge on management and have experience with forum websites. You DO NOT JUST WANT ANY PERSON. because you want peoe to come back, so if they meet a staff member that knows what they are doing and is friendly they will and I am telling you WILL come back.

3: make sure you make the site USER FRIENDLY. be nice and not to strict as it is a startup website. Just make sure you also explain the rules in a way the users will relate to and understand. Sometimes you might need to write a bit more and exain a scenario but you want people to like the site and come back right?

4: look to the future. Chicken smoothies was built using custom code, and not a hosting website. You have to set a concrete goal and strive to advice it. Maybe learn a bit of PHOcoding so you can make your own unique website someday.

5: COMUNICATE WITH YOUR STAFF. I recomend making a site announcement thread where it is easy to access. Probably in the introductions form place. Make sure that all of your staff know about it and post any info that the staff can possible help with or improve on. And another thing, you have to make sure your staff get along, introduce yourself to them individually and bring them together. Because when this site starts up and gets around 100-150 users, they will all be a tight group, and that includes all staff. So make sure you are not distanced in interests when it comes to the user. Because we want the best for them.

Ford seriously. Am I going to be the only one making changes to the site so it can be set up? You are the owner and you need to help out. Dark bat too. I can't be the only one or I will quit.

[XxBarricadeXx]

Of course not. I will help out. Sorry if I wasn't on much yesterday. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday and I went with my friend to the hunted corn maze yesterday.

Ok, I set up A LOT. edited and categorized most of the forums and added rules for them. Situated some complicated RP categorizing down to two categories.
