Things intended in the future
Rankings. We can have them - just currently they would be solely linked to posts which is not a satisfactory situation. We are lookinginto trying to get some form of ranking system in place based on merit.
Campaign. It is true that we cannot run a campaign in a similar way to the TLA ones. However forum sites do run them. t40k has been running a campaign for some time. We would like to try and get some form of campaign up and running within a relatively short period of time
Currently Kain and I are looking into hosting providers to see if we cant make TLA more than just the forums once again. It is currently our intention to try and create something which resembles the original TLA in the medium term
Any other suggestions you can post here and we will try to consider them all

If you are looking to providers, is it possible Mith could just transfer the site to you two?

Great ideas. I hope you don't mind but I made some suggestions in the "Whom Do You Serve" forum.

Maybe the a button for the profile coding? It was extremely helpful when creating house-rules/profiles.

Instead of having leader or rangers for ranks and stuff you should base it more on LOTR. Have something like, King-Steward-Captain-Standard Bearer-Ranger-Warrior-Villager. Something along the lines of that.

Yeh themed ranks for everyone would be nice, but thats just a small tweak (obviously still takes a bit of time though)

A note-now that this site is separate from TLA, and TLA is back up, it would be worth posting any suggestions for the future of T-LOTR here as well.

I agree with EoR I'd like to see ranks. Its something about getting to that next stage and acheiving something extra. It also would show the commited members. Though how would you judge who got which rank as I dont think the amount of posts should be used as any old sod (no offence to those have posted a lot)! can post hundreds of posts! Any suggestions?
Thought I'd put my two pence in!

Aim was/is to not have post based ranks - just that is how they are graded by proboards The only other option is karma - where people vote - but have been advised that these tend to be abused.

As you said yourself Matt the Karma option is sometimes abused as with another site or two for proboards i know of. But the non post based ranks would be better. It would probably also stop the regular (although not so regular as much now) spamish posts on the site. It would also make people have to put more work into the site to get their ranks up which would be good . Sounds good and good luck with it all Thanks, Jake

That sounds really good, if you are going to have an article system, you could include an extra section for Silenced Warrior mags, or maybe an extra part of the site for them, just an idea.
I agree with the non post based ranks, but as Kain already said, voting can be easily abused, and with the small number of regular visitors we have, I don't think it would work.
