McCallDavisWinchesterFan

Exactly. Keep up the good work.

My Kind Of Crazy

McCallDavisWinchesterFan

Fair warning I may bug you guys a lot with questions. I have some ideas on how to get the board more active and some ideas for other/new threads.

My Kind Of Crazy

ok cant wait to hear what you got in mind

Mazza d'Evill

That's great Laina! Bug us whenever you want, that's what I signed up for when I applied to be a mod here

And thanks Jen

Okay, so my first thing is that I think we should start that trivia game like I suggested to both of you in PM's. I'll list my thoughts in order to make it easier.

1. Trivia game
2. We advertise this board on other boards, to get people chatting about the show.
3. I want to advertise this board/the entire board/FF on my twitter.
4. I plan to advertise this board on my Facebook page and in my groups and iZombie groups I'm in.
5. We add some counting games. Example: Count to 8,000. Simple enough. We post numbers from 1 to 8,000 then start over again.
6. Post game This or That.
7. Maybe we can start a thread and link any iZombie sites we come across.
8. We can make a zombie book/comic/movie discussion thread where we list any awesome zombie books, comics, or movies we have read or seen. Or maybe we can make three separate threads to make it easier for everyone to stay on topic.
9. We can start a spoiler thread. (Is that allowed?)
10. For those of us who make graphics (read: fan art) we can make a resources thread and link sites that have iZombie screencaps, for members to use to make graphics.
11. Game: First Thing On Your Left. Example: List the first thing on your left within reaching distance to you. That would be your weapon to kill zombies.
12. Word Rhyme Game. Just list words that rhyme with each other.

My Kind Of Crazy

those are all great ideas.

McCallDavisWinchesterFan

Awesome. Just let me know after you ladies talk it over, and I'll start making threads.

Mazza d'Evill

A spoiler & speculation thread is ok, I'll open it today and set up some minor rules in the OP, so things don't get crazy and stay in accordance with the rules & guidelines

A trivia game is fine, think that would be fun!

We can also start a survivor game soon, we could brainstorm for a fun theme soon! (does this show have a winter hiatus? I actually don't know, since last season started in March But survivor games are usually a nice way to 'survive' the winter hiatus )

I don't think we should overrun the board with too many games. In the end, a forum is supposed to live on posts in discussion threads, with some games as a 'distraction' for the people who visit here So a This or That game, maybe one more ABC game and one or two more games (that rhyme game, counting game (maybe make it Zombie related? 1 Zombie, 2 Zombies.. ) would be fine with us (also that first thing to your left sounds like fun!), but we'd rather not have a whole new bunch of ABC games for example. Especially since the board is doing absolutely great already in number of posts!

We also thought it would be best to maybe include links to places where you can find HD pics and stills for fanart in the fanart and/or icon thread OP.

The forum has a affiliation system for fansites, so we're both not fullky sure if making a thread/OP listing many fansites and websites about iZombie that are not affiliated with the board is ok. We'll dive into the rules once more soon The fansite that are affiliated to this board are on the bottom of the board page!

We should definitely promote the board on and outside the forum! So promote whatever and wherever you want! We could set up a Twitter account for the board, for example. Lots of boards have one of those! There are many other iZombie fan accounts on Twitter, on which we could maybe recruit some new members for the board

And another thanks for all your input!

McCallDavisWinchesterFan

I advertised the board on my facebook and twitter account.

Let me know when you guys are ready to start the trivia game.

Oh, and also. To go along with the trivia game, another one just came to me.

How about a 'Guess The Quote' game?

Mazza d'Evill

You can open those thread whenever you want, we'll just tag along! A 'guess the quote' game sounds like fun!

I created a Twitter account for the board yesterday:

@iZombieFF
https://twitter.com/iZombieFF

Also updated the OP with it. Jen and I both have access to the account, and we'll try and send people this way to discuss the episodes each week. If everything goes well, I'll also try and keep the account active as 'fan account' (eg. retweeting of actor/show tweets, tweeting promo's, etc.), to draw more people this way

My Kind Of Crazy

thanks for creating the twitter acct. you did a great job setting it up
