Okay, part of the survey is going to be telling me which of those options you like best.

The last one is not really viable, though I'm also curious how many people are going to throw a hissy fit because I changed my name. I guess I could be persuaded to change it back, but I have good reasons for the switch, and I do like Lupine. Some people will always think of me as Clover, but that's okay. Some people may always think of me as twelve years old, too.

Anyways, this is another multi-parter, starting out with a lot of questions about wotmania/RAFO/design-oriented things. I make no promises, but I may try to develop a new layout (as an option, not the default) over the next few weeks, and it would really help me to know what people are looking for. (If you completely love what we have and don't care for change, tell me that too. It would save me time. )

After the information-gathering, there is the usual miscellany, so feel free to skip ahead if you like.

But before the layout questions, some nostalgia.

1. What remnants of wotmania did you save? If you chose not to save anything, what was your thinking on the matter?
None. Most of my notes were about buying people premies anyway.

2. Did you stick around for the closing?
Yeah, I was one of the last posters on the CMB

3. How did you feel about the whole thing - and about the subsequent transition?
I was sad to see Wotmania go, but so far the transition seems to have gone well

4. Name changes are obvious, but are you intending to do anything differently in terms of site activity here? (Frequenting more boards, posting more thoughtfully [hahaha, I crack myself up]).
Probably frequenting more boards. I guess it all depends on what's being talked about though. I think I made 1 post about the whole Presidential campaign/election on Wotmania.

5. Is there anything you miss about wotmania so far? Any RAFO-related change that really pleases you?
Well, there's chat I guess, but I can understand why it's not a feature on the site yet. As far as the changes on this site go, I do like the way the entertainment board has been reorganised and subdivided.

6. What's your pick for our collective identity? (Rafolites, Rafonauts...)
I always liked Rafonians, but that could just be me.

Now onto issues of layout.

7. What colors do you currently use?
Green

8. What color palettes would you like to see?
I really haven't given this much thought to be honest.

9. What font do you use? (Did you know you can customize that? ) What fonts would you like added?
Just the default one. I don't really care so much. Although Windings would be good for a laugh on April Fools' Day (or is it April Fool's Day?)

10. You prefer navigation bars that are:
A) On the left
B) On the right, or
C) Across the top

A) On the left.

11. Do you like the current set-up, where you have to click to see the options, or did you prefer the old wotmania version, where a mouse-over would cause the menus to drop down?
I prefer the current set-up

12. Do you like all of the icons? Would you like to see more graphics? If so, what kind?
I'm pretty happy with the way things are atm.

13. Do you like the current logo? If not, what would you like to see?
I think the current logo is a good one, taking the name of the site into account

14. If you've given any general thought to the matter, please tell me your thoughts here. (Sketch something out in words, maybe?)

Please note that I am not even going to think about changing the way threads and subthreads are displayed. I like it the way it is, and such fiddling is beyond my capabilities anyway. I may try messing with the identations, but again, I'm not even sure I know how to do that, so I'm not making any promises.

Miscellany

15. Do you think it is possible for an established politician to undergo a major ideological shift? That is, a genuine one, not one for political gain.
Yes, but I think people have seen politicians take so many ideological shifts for political gain that genuine ones are normally dismissed as political ones anyway.

16. What is your favorite way to experience nostalgia?
Talking about it always seems to work.

17. Are you content with your given name & surname? If not, how come? What would you change it to if you could?
Yeah, it's fine.

18. Are you good with time management? If yes, any advice?
Not really.

19. What was the first piece of genuine "literature" that you remember appreciating?
I'm not sure what you mean by genuine literature.

20. Are you on friendly terms with your neighbors? (Apartment neighbors count too.) If so, how did you get that way?
Yes. I got to know the ones on the left after helping them to catch a possum that was loose on their property (some weird bonding ritual from primitive times I guess). The ones on the right have a boy roughly my age and we have a pool, so he normally comes round most summer days for a swim, and has been doing so for about 5 or 6 years.

21. When you hang out with people, do you have the most fun on your own turf (in your apartment or home), at their place(s), or in a neutral spot, like a pub or a mall?
With my best friend, at his place. I have 2 brothers and a sister and he is an only child, so it's a lot quieter at his place. Also, he has an Xbox 360

22. If you could invite a foreign/distant friend to visit your city/town at any season or time of year, which would you pick as ideal?
Well, I've always liked summer, but it tends to be a bit too hot for most people from the northern hemisphere. So probably autumn (around April or so).

2-. Do you participate in any community-ish events? (Local markets, library book clubs, church events, etc.) Which ones?
I try to help out at the monthly markets we have, but there's normally a timing issue.

Oh, that's my favorite number. Best stop here. I censored it for Amy's sake.

Thank you all very much for answering; I especially appreciate detailed and thought-out answers in the "layout" section.
No problem.
