Default Spriting Website (Pokéspriters) - Need Suggestions!

Alright, so I recently created a website called Pokéspriters. Basically I think we can use it as a place to hang out, and since it's centered on spriting, we'll have contests and sprite galleries, all of that stuff.

By the way, please don't join or post on the forum yet, I want to finish more of it before anyone does. Plus that would probably be counted as advertizing which I'd rather not do through VR at this point since it would be breaking the rules.. I guess you can join if you want but I'd ban your account until the forum and site are ready.

Now.. What I need from you is suggestions, for the site and the forum. Site-wise I'll take any ideas and on the forum I'm looking for categories, forum ideas, etc. Even graphic ideas are fine. Pretty much anything you can think of, I'd like to hear it. By the way, helpers have an increased chance of becoming staff so don't be shy.

Thanks to those who help!

I'm so glad you're using a Forum other than Weebly's. X3
That one sucks.

For the Forum, I'd suggest getting a couple of spriters to submit some sprites, and make a skin with the sprites in them. I could help if you want.
The whole idea you got is pretty cool, though. :3

I agree with Shiny. Might as well showcase some of the members' sprites, since it IS a sprite site.

Also...I dunno if I'd let just anyone run contests. You should probably just stick with people on staff running them, or ones you actually know that they know what they're doing...otherwise you end up with contests run by someone that I won't name who don't really know anything.

Thanks for the suggestions you two.

Shiny, I dunno how to do skins actually so.. I dunno about that. >_> I'm gonna add more sprites to the site eventually, though. We're still developing.

Chibi, good idea, I'll do that.

Also to make the forum look less empty and get it started, you should post a topic in every section. It makes people less shy to post too.

Also is this going to be about actual spriting or splices and recolors?

Just because it's not from scratch, doesn't mean it's not considered spriting.

Splices and recoloures are sprites.

Currently you only have Admin's and Mod's. How about a new one, Sprite Comitter, he has no power, but can host contests and other stuff. It could be white.

Forum Fun will be sufficient, no need to have a bunch of forums yet.

Well obviously it will include them but we will have higher levels as well. Recolors and fusions are the basics after all.

And I was actually going to post some stuff really soon, just hadn't got around to it yet.

You mean Pokemon? It's just a spriting website to be honest, no need for that really. But you guys can post in General Discussion about that if you want.

I was actually thinking about giving certain people a special color just for being a good spriter lat night, haha. Good idea, maybe we could get a better name though, and I'll definitely give these privileged people moderation and posting ability in the Contests forum.



Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Probably a "Sprite of the Month" thing. Not too sure about how the system should work, but maybe people could submit one of their sprites every month and one of them gets picked to be shown on the homepage for a month or something.

Oh well I thought it would look good on the site because it would show the best spriters on the site.

As I said before we might get an external chat thingy that has sounds, and you can also speak through a mic on it or be on webcam.. Maybe I'll implement that sooner rather than later.

They might be considered spiriting but they are easy as all hell take little to no talent to do.

Which is why I wish to know if it is just going to be custom sprites or not.

Can you seriously just let this go, please? I get it. You think your friend is better than us because he does sprites completely from scratch. Whatever. Move on.

Ummm I do not think anyone is better then anyone first off, I a quite a few friends that sprite from scratch and not just one, and honestly I wouldn't mind seeing some custom sprites coming from people to see the talent that they have and maybe help them get better.

Honestly I was asking a legit question that was still never answered and I am curious and what type of sprites will be showcased on the site.

Recolors. Chaos. Revamps Devamps. Fusions. Advanced Recolors. Eggs. Trainers. Re-Types. Infernoes. Maybe even scratches. Have any more suggestions?

We of course are going to have recolors because you have to start somewhere even if it's easy.

Yes Aqua, any type of sprite is allowed even if I didn't mention it in my recent post.

And maybe.

haha, yeah i asked the creators of the site about that and they said it puts them at the top of search engine link lists.

So u type in on your google search bar "pokemon spriting website" they would probably be close to the top

true but that most likely because that website is more popular than pokispritewebsite.com, they aren't the most popular (just saying)...

Well maybe you could be staff later on. I do recommend a few things though:

1. Work on the typing a little, I prefer capitalized sentences with correct grammar end spelling.
2. You'd have to be a good spriter considering I've never seen any of your work.
2. And, we actually have 2 mods right now which is good enough so I won't be adding any staff until we get more peeps.

Bu I will consider you if you meet my criteria. The VR dudes of course have a better chance of being on the staff, at least for now.
