Title: Welcome to the OPW Community!
Post by: Alex Smiley on November 13, 2017, 10:04:37 AM
We did it, guys! I will be working on updating the look of the forums and such over the next couple days, but for now...welcome to the Occupy Pro Wrestling Community! Here's a short version of what to expect:

- Some updated topics and forums to reflect the change in "ownership"
- The return of efedding-related forums dubbed EWPlanet, including the eWrestling Guides and eFed Vault
- A lot of the old and inactive topics and forums will be moved to various archives through the boards

There's a lot to look forward to, and I'll be posting more updates as I get things up and running. Thanks for hanging in there with the migration, guys!

Sweet!

When I go to MFX it has the 'redirecting to occupy pro wrestling in 5 seconds' message, but it doesn't redirect. I can click the link so not a huge deal, but not sure if that's an issue for others.

Thanks Alex!

What browser are you using?  I tested in Chrome.  It's using a Meta redirect tag but I might need to do a JS redirect too.

It redirected for me as well.

Now...first order of business. This skin is awful, and I expect you to work night and day to fix this Alex!

The forums have 3 skins, with 2 variations of the Lucid Dreams one (this is dark orange, I believe). There is also the SMF Default Theme - Curve (which I haven't touched) and the Blue Evolution (which was a popular one for people on the MFX forums). You can change it by going to the Profile button, go to Look and Layout..., and click "change" next to the theme you're currently using. I'll be on the lookout for other SMF themes if there's a demand for them, though!

Ah okay, yeah blue evolution is fine. When we made the switch it kicked us all over to the default (which is not blue evo...but probably should be)

You'll take my default forum skin from my cold, dead hands.

So Alex....are you gonna get some new blood in here to liven the place up?  Coax some old faces back?  Because (sad to say) this place is as dead now as it was prior to your taking over.

Sorry guys, the last couple months have been crazy with stuff going on at home. I have, however, been working on some stuff to drive some activity back to the forums. Just out of curiosity...what do you guys wanna see more of?

- More forum games?
- Return of the predictions league? (Or, perhaps, the Pick Ems League (http://wrestlingpickems.tumblr.com)?)
- More discussion in general?

One idea I had for the latter was bringing back the concept of Forum Leaders, people willing to help lead the way in discussions on the various topics we have on the forums (wrestling, music, video games, etc.)...if you guys are interested and wanna be a Forum Leader, let me know! I'm gonna start getting the word back out there to check out the community forums for stuff in the coming days.

Less is more!

Start with a few things, adapt and add more.  Don't Try to replicate what has been done.

Concentrate on a couple of things (wrestling is a good start).. advertise the shit out of the place on social media (unfortunately social media is easily accessible and easier than signing up to forums)

Be unique.  Offer something no one else does.

And, oh Hi! Long time just thought I'd check in .

You need a footfall for people to be interested

I think that the more hookers we have the better, but what do I know?
