PI Improvements and Suggestions!

Tue Nov 16, 2004 11:54 pm

What could we do to improve PI?

What would you like to see added to PI?

Is there a particular type of article you'd like to see more of in PI?

How do you like how we run things?

Do you have any comments you'd like to tell us?

This is a general poll. It'd be greatly appreciated if you'd answer the above questions, or even just one question. We're on a mission to improve PI, and make it PPT's newspaper, rather than just a newspaper that is based at PPT. To do this, we need your opinions!

Negative comments are welcome as well as positive, so please, don't hold back. If you have any questions about PI, in general, you can either post them in the thread in Misc Disc, or PM them to Yoshi or myself.

Note to PI Staff: There is/will be a similar thread to this in the usergroup, so please post there rather than here.

What could we do to improve PI? Nothing. :P All you really could use is a little more content.. but you can't really help that!

What would you like to see added to PI? I don't know.. maybe something... people could interact with more without actually writing an article or something.. only thing I can think of.

Is there a particular type of article you'd like to see more of in PI? Clay Aiken lovers club? ;) No, kidding. I had to say it though!

How do you like how we run things? Yes.

Do you have any comments you'd like to tell us? No.. just keep up the nice work.

Hey! They're under the miscellaneous section, and very well-written, if I do say so myself. ;)

What would you like to see added to PI? Reviews of recent movie, book, and music releases would interesting. Seperate sections for different types of reviews or genres. It's always nice to know someone else's opinion before rushing off to make your own.

I didn't have anything to say about the other questions. ;P

Me as the MOTM. =D All kidding aside, but I don't see anything that needs too be changed in PI.

BTW...how do I send something into PI? I've been working on a story for it, but I was wanting to know how to get it in. Forgive me.

I believe that revolves around the Entertainment crew (Including me). I am going to be writing reviews for any new movie I see on DVD or in theaters. Book review by me will come after Christmas. Music would be every week -- I'll be reviewing singles by various artists.

The Entertainment crew write reviews for games and sports as of this moment. We'll try to write reviews for as much things as possible. But let's not too go happy-go-luck with the idea.

That depends on what it is.

Generally, most articles can be sent to Lillie.

But...

If it's music, sports, television, movies, video games, etc it needs to be sent to the entertainment writers. {Igg, Ammer, and Ixistant)

Neopets Games reviews can be sent to Ayse (Destiny is her forum name)

Battledome related stuff can be sent to Xil.

For now, art related stuff goes to Inrun.

I think that's it..

Edit: Actually, I meant the funny/morbid Trelawney-esque ones. :P

It's kind of a story having to do with my little "WNDM" thing, and I have guest starring Candace Bailey and Brent Popolizio. (not really. Just written in to the story somehow.) I would think then I could send it to Igg, Ammer or Ixistant since it's mainly a story on entertainment.

Well, I say you should have more comics and pictures, but I don't really have complaints.

Except when I made a song about a year back -- had to be after January this year, actually-- someone on the PI staff told me that when I finished it it'd be in Pink Ink. I finished it and sent it to her.
I checked a lot, but... nope And then PPT went down for a while, so did it have to do with the forums going down, or did you guys just change your mind?

Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:43 am

Eo - when PPT went down, we lost everything for PI.

robot - I'm actually planning on writing regular book reviews, starting from Issue 4 (not enough time for this issue).

*sniffle* You don't like my realistic horoscopes?!
Do people prefer unrealistic ones to the current ones?

Sat Nov 27, 2004 3:13 pm

I personally like the realistic ones. If you want funny and unrealistic, the majority of the articles are and you can read one of them.

But the horoscopes are very nice as they are. :)
