dc20willsave Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just took a second to think about it and we do seem to be mainly centered towards comics. Might be fun if someone on one of the podcast does a Star Trek/Wars themed episode or series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be fun if someone on one of the podcast does a Star Trek/Wars themed episode or series. I've been planning a Trek podcast for a long time now. I'm hoping to get it off the ground in the next couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cool. Starting with TOS or going to do something nutty and go chronological (start with First Contact, move to EnterpriseN then do TOS)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cool. Starting with TOS or going to do something nutty and go chronological (start with First Contact, move to EnterpriseN then do TOS)? Starting with the new movie (just to capture the current phenomenon that is J.J. Abrams' Trek film), then going all the way back to TOS and reviewing every episode and movie in release order. (except for the animated series) Kind of like WFP but with Trek instead. I've got a co-host who's never really watched much Trek in his life, so it'll be cool to get both the hardcore Trek fan's [my] perspective in comparison to his.

George W. Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know your voice will be just about dead at the end of recordings, but maybe reading a quick excerpt from a column posted that week for The Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know your voice will be just about dead at the end of recordings, but maybe reading a quick excerpt from a column posted that week for The Show? I've long thought about doing just that. Or rather, having the author read the column / review. The reason I've never moved forward is because it adds more time to the prep / editing work, 'cause I have to choose what's to be read, get the author to record it, then edit the audio. Even if the author edits it him or herself, I still have to pick the piece and have them record the audio before the show hits. It would all be done very last minute, and would hinge on the author's schedule. Time wise, it's just not doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I want more me in 2010. And not just a week here and there where you can hear 11 hours of me, I want 3 months of all me and then a month off of only just a little bit of me and then three more months of all me again. Sorry, I've been drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I want customizable images on the forums by our names in the upper right hand corner... not some nameless grey blank face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Again, that comes down to server space. Whereas avatars can be linked to from outside sources, personal images cannot. Meaning, they must be hosted by the same server that hosts the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it was from web the image hosting websites would work...... I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Like I said, we can do that with avatars, but not with the personal photos. Honestly, I don't know why it's restricted like that, but that's the way the company has it configured. Should I ever wind up hosting the forums on my own server, then we'll be able to do it. But that's expensive. So until E2 starts bringing in revenue through the banner ads, little things like that will have to remain as they are.

Why did you chose to host the forums on such an expensive host, instead of hosting it on you own server (IE: where E-2 is hosted)using a servive such as phpbb?

omnidragon Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 new segments.......hmmmmm novels would be cool or since you already do a Doctor Who one How about a Star Trek one? I even have a idea of a name.It's a little long but Boldly Going Where no Podcast has Gone before!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I like that name, it's a bit long though, could be the tagline for the show though. You could do a merchandise section of the site. I mean, you mention the DVD's and comics that come out, but what about the figures and the statues, they should get some love too.

No offense, man, but that section would just scream "Paid attention to for the first two weeks and then forgotten about after that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 A Forum Section dedicated to Conventions maybe? like have a thread for each major con and people can post when they hear about the event being scheduled and discuss each convention if they attend or whatever... like for Transformers fans Botcon has been announced that it will be at Disney World in 2010.

Missy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I can see threads for convention talk, such as one for comic conventions, anime ones, etc. But a whole section? I'm not sure there would be much demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there would be much demand. ok what I'm saying is like you have a section for WFP with individual threads for episodes/and other topics. That's what I meant by section. Not like there's a comics and then video games section. Maybe I wasn't clear in what I was asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I know what you meant. I just don't think a section for con talk would be overly used. But threads dedicated to certain types of cons, those would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 It's a place to hold tournaments. But I've fallen way behind on organizing new ones. That said, things are moving forward on the Best Teenage Superhero tournament. DW has sent me all of the images, and they've been resized and formatted. All that's left is to decide on a launch date.

SuaveStar Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Well, how about video reviews? Just short videos posted on YouTube, or Blip(You can advertise on Blip) reviewing Animes, movies or TV shows or even video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 It comes down to money, as I can't afford a good camera or proper editing software. Also, right now I don't have the time to learn how to edit videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
