An idea I forgot to mention earlier in regards to "sections":

Capsuleer social media. Sort of a Twitter IN SPACE kind of thing. Doesn't even need its own section, but could just be a thread where you self-limit your post size to a few sentences (Twitter's 140 characters, except with no character counter, just an approximate). Basically, the idea would be that capsuleers... well, tweet. IC.

If not part of the IC section, it could make for an interesting thread just like the rumors one up in the Content Creation thingy.

Love the idea of twitter in space. How hard would it be to just implement status updates like eve gate does but with tags. Maybe just updates as tags could get out of control. Ex:

* Anyanka Funk tweets "Hot new trans people coming out all over New Eden." #TRANSNEWEDEN #SEXINESS #JACE #BLAMEMORWEN

Or you could just use Twitter and make an IC Tweet List.

I'd rather not be bouncing between my real twitter and the IC one.

I'm guessing those kind of upgrades would require a newer forum software, but I'm not sure. A different forum community I'm on just upgraded to a new thingy and it has status, blogs, likes, a whole bunch of those kind of features.

Or you could use the tweet-like mechanic built into EVE Gate...

Should also add a like button for consistency.

The difficulty is getting people to use it ICly. Most of the time when I see it used it is OOC, so if I actually started paying attention to it I wouldn't want to deal with guessing whether someone is IC or OOC.

That might've been the joke, Ari.

Jace: When I used it, I used it IC generally. I already have a Twitter account for OOC stuff.

Ah, okay. The few times I used it on old characters it was OOC banter with people sort of like a fun trolling message board of immaturity by everyone involved.

Anyway, I'll just make the thread when/if the IC forum goes up.

Actually, I have to admit I've come to be rather fond of the mail function. Good for checking on stuff when I can't be actually ingame.

Yeah, it'd just be slow to do with SMF. Setting up something like P2 could do the trick though. Haven't personally used it but it's designed with instant updates in mind, while still being forum-esque. The Wordpress team uses it for most of their internal communications, so it's clearly good for that sort of thing.
