Ok so I understand users can't do the coding due to security, and I understand they probably can't help with designing the next CI (spoilers galore would occur)

But... what about allowing users to do other things that staff don't have time to do?

For example:

Front Page Art - I heard jelly say that redesigning the front page is low on the list. So to reduce the work that it would take, why not host contests for the redesigning of the front page?

Basic Items - Since they take work, it would be nice if us users could help create things for you guys. I know there are a lot of amazing artists on menewsha, so if say the item were up to par and voted up by users you guys could just toss it in the item pile. (And the reward can be as simple as getting the item you donated)

UNRELATED But still an idea
Also... a possible side idea if you guys do a cash shop someday... is that I know people love those "click the egg" thingies... and maybe menewshans could have an "egg" that has like say 3 stages (I think is what they have on that site?) and goes from egg to adult :O
Note: Not something like going from an egg to a whip or something weird like that... but changing into like a baby dragon maybe. If it were say a permanent purchasable item I think users would probably go for that. Right guys? :O

Secondly on alternative ideas for stuff since I don't want to make more threads:
I think more contests from staff would be nice. I can barely remember the last contest that wasn't event related... but during low event periods why not host random events? :D

Feedback anyone?

Hosting more contests is not a solution to work overload at all ~ it's actually more work.

Just throwing that out there. :3

That was under the unrelated section of her post though. Xb
Haha, only the first part is for ideas to decrease the staff workload.


Those ideas seem nice, especially since it would reduce the cost to put those sorts of things together in the first place.

I know... just didn't want to make multiple threads... that bumps other threads off the front page

Actually Siri, the first suggestion does involve hosting contests. That is what I was responding to. ;P

But I'm breaking my own pet peeve of critiquing feedback, so I'll get back to work instead of being a pain in the butt. :)

Oh, haha. Yes, you're right. *walks away sheepishly*
Sorry, I didn't catch that...
