I will respond on one condition: I get a response to my response Сталин Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 02:48:28 PM
This survey is so long that if I put effort into it I should get some feedback. :P

1. What remnants of wotmania did you save? If you chose not to save anything, what was your thinking on the matter?
I saved some selected posts from the CMB, my two theories from Theory Post, a parody song and some selected NB messages (which I pasted into two MS Word files, one of which was just NB messages and the other of which was the rest). I did download ALL my NBs with that program but I find it a pain in the ass to access them that way so I might just delete that.

2. Did you stick around for the closing?
As soon as RAFO was up, I was done with wotmania.

3. How did you feel about the whole thing - and about the subsequent transition?
While I realize Mike had no obligation to help us, I personally had expected that he'd work with us a bit more or at least leave up a one-page notice that wotmania was gone that clicked through to RAFO or Dragonmount, rather than just automatically going to the latter. The way the whole thing was done was a little bit shitty. Not malicious, but insensitive.

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]).
I'm going to post on the "OF" Board here, so to speak, and I'm going to try to post reviews of non Sci-Fi/Fantasy books on a regular basis (work permitting).

5. Is there anything you miss about wotmania so far? Any RAFO-related change that really pleases you?

I miss nothing. I like the options on quoting previous messages for replies.

6. What's your pick for our collective identity? (Rafolites, Rafonauts...)
RAFhOles, or, if that fails, just RAFOs.

7. What colors do you currently use?
Teal

8. What color palettes would you like to see?
A shimmering constantly shifting psychadelic swirl. Seriously...I don't care.

9. What font do you use? (Did you know you can customize that? :P) What fonts would you like added?

I'm just using Arial for now.

10. You prefer navigation bars that are:

A) On the left

B) On the right, or

C) Across the top

I don't care, but I don't like the way the bars are arranged for content. I really think the message boards should all be under one tab, with informational content in another tab, personal settings in a third and directory assistance in a fourth (FAQs, who are the admins, how to use the site, list of members, etc.).

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 don't care.

12. Do you like all of the icons? Would you like to see more graphics? If so, what kind?
Meh.

13. Do you like the current logo? If not, what would you like to see?
I like the logo but I'd like to see the interface upgraded a little bit.

14. If you've given any general thought to the matter, please tell me your thoughts here. (Sketch something out in words, maybe?)
Cut out half of the stupid WoT smileys and fix the thing where half the time if you write the number 8 it ends up making a stupid smiley.

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.

I doubt many politicians actually believe half of what they claim to. As a result, little about them is genuine enough that a "genuine shift" could occur.

16. What is your favorite way to experience nostalgia?
With music.

17. Are you content with your given name & surname? If not, how come? What would you change it to if you could?
Yes. Actually, "content" makes my attitude sound less positive than it is.

18. Are you good with time management? If yes, any advice?
I don't know.

19. What was the first piece of genuine "literature" that you remember appreciating?
I think it was 1984. I read it in 1985 so I figured I was safe. ;)

20. Are you on friendly terms with your neighbors? (Apartment neighbors count too.) If so, how did you get that way?
Sort of. I don't interact with them much.

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?
My own place

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?
May

2-. Do you participate in any community-ish events? (Local markets, library book clubs, church events, etc.) Which ones?
No

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. :)

You can also write that as "Stalin" *MySmiley*
