When I first launched Ghostbusters Fans back in February it was unfinished as far as how I wanted it. I kind of lost the drive to work on it more after it was launched. But now I am noticing a few loose ends, and other things that just aren't exactly how I wanted them. So here is some information on some features that I will be working on in the next few days...
Commenting
I would like to add back in the commenting system that was on the old GBProps. You will be able to comment on friends props, fan art, blogs, videos.. and more. Hopefully this will give back in more interactivity and promote good conversation among the community. Making friends and other things..
Blogging
While I introduced Blogging about a month ago, it is still not as deeply integrated into the site as I would like it to be. Soon when you write a blog entry about a prop or piece of fan art... it will appear on your prop page. This will kinda be like a way to keep people up to date on progress of a prop or fan art. Similarly you can write about anything going on in your life so you can keep your friends informed.
Recent Activity
Currently the recent activity on your
Control Panel only shows a few bits of detail you should know about... Private Messaging, News Updates & Comments to your Profile. I would like to expand this to show you what your friends are doing.. when they add new props or fan art.. or when they comment on any of your things.
RSS Capabilities
RSS seems like one of the cooler things the internet has given us in the last few years and I would like to incorporate it into the site more. You will be able to have your news and recent activity piped into any feed reader to get GBFans updates where ever you visit online.
Props/Fan Art Expansion
I would like to make the prop & fan art sections larger by adding the blog system into the pages. And then also allow you to write captions on your photos.. and have users comment on them as well. (I know this has been a feature people have been requesting for years! So why not add it!?)
Work on Main Pages - THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP OUT ON
One of the biggest thing the site needs is more content about Ghostbusters. All the pages in the system are editable by you guys. I am planning on working on a lot of the pages and have already started to work on the
Games section. If you know something about a particular subject.. why not tackle it by writing about it!?
