Alizée America Suggestion Box
 

We should have a new layout. Something that's really good something that'll catch peoples eyes that are visiting the site. Like guest.

Isn't the current layout good and catchy?

...I like the layout but it would be nice if the UEDS picture of Alizee in the black hat and black striped shirt could change to a better new picture...

Exactly we should have a UEDS theme.

A little less conversation, a little more action please.

Elvis :cool:

Well, it is a UEDS picture, it's just we need a newer UEDS picture. Not one from the photoshoot.

I would really, really, really love to see more videos up. With or without translations.

I remember them discussing possibly getting rid of the video section a while back and moving the vids somewhere else (possibly a YouTube channel. not completely sure though).

But yeah, I really do enjoy the videos with the translations. The only problem is finding people who can translate the videos for us and are willing to do all the hard work to translate them.

...Yah...be amazed...and thanks Ben, MerciAlizee, and others for being awesome:D

Yah don't know what will happen with the video section, but all I know is that they are putting almost every Alizee video known to man on the http://www.youtube.com/user/AlizeeAmericaVideos Channel....

Correction : Ben and Tomtentp

You can check video section discussion thread for all the details about the youtube channel and the changes.

Yeah, new videos haven't been added. Hopefully we will see new videos with translations in the channel.

K thanks. And I think what they are shooting for is uploading all Alizee videos in chronological order. Cause there are about 10 videos on the channel and all are VERY EARLY Gourmandises era...

But anyway sorry for the off-topicness...

Thanks for bringing this up, MA. I've been actually thinking about making this suggestion to the mods for some time now. How about make this site a one-stop site for music? I mean, not just Alizee. You know, you'll always have news about the top artists like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, etc. So, why not create a link for them here? I don't think there is a legal issue here as most sites actually encourage others to share or embed their articles as this help bring more traffic to their own sites. One site who does this is Fark.com.

This will introduce Alizee to other music fans who otherwise would not have heard of her.

Below is an example of what I think might work for this site. Although the site is dedicated and named after the boxer, Manny Pacquiao, it has links to other boxing news as well. Sometimes, even other sports or entertainment celebrities whom the admins think are popular to their members have links here. This site has been up since 2003 and it actually bring a lot of ad revenues to the site especially when there is a big fight coming.

a section for user-submitted flash games

Actually I love this layout, it's beautiful. :)

My only suggestion would be to have translations for more videos, I understand if that's not realistic though. Translating stuff is a long and tedious process, plus I'm not sure how many people here actually speak fluent french.

Edit:

Yessssssss.

thank you for reminding me, mah lady

Can we change it so you can't see the entire forum if you're unregistered/not logged in?

Like disable the off-topic section, make it so guests are unable to view attached documents or IMG pictures, etc.

Or maybe to where people can't see everything on your user profile if they're not registered. Actually that might already be a feature, unless I'm thinking of another forum.. idk, I never actually log out so I wouldn't know.

What's the advantage of such change?

Just a privacy thing really.

And we'll get more people registered

(which I don't see the immediate benefit, but I'm sure there's something if one searches long enough)

Edit:

But I'm cool with keeping the videos and gallery (should it ever return) open to the public, it's what made me register here.

I think the current layout it's great as well, and I like the picture that's on the homepage mainly because it's one of few UEdS pictures that show her forehead.:p

i want a new logo! :D

Your worried about privacy when posting a picture of yourself on the internet? Come on, anyone can figure out anyone's phone number online if they know where to find it based on information people have posted. It's easy...going on the internet is called giving away your privacy...it's a dog-eat-dog world out here:D

don't worry. i'm an internet bully/bouncer. i got your back.

So, MerciAlizee and Ben, will we get updates on what you guys are taking in to account and considering doing?

Ma does what he wants.

Searches you make on Google can be used to identify you.

A Built in Music Player that can run at the top or bottom of Every page would be nice, Ive seen it done in several forums that way people can listen to Alizee songs. Kind of entice them more if they just heard about her and want to learn more.

Also give it the option to pop out of the window too so people can surf the forums without the music player reloading.

Here is a site that is exactly what you are talking about. http://www.ferrycorsten.com/ He is my favorite artist after Alizée.

Unfortunately a site like that requires a boatload of work and knowledge. People usually charge a ton for something along those lines. The only person on here I know of that could pull off something similar to that is Uméesha. Plus he makes sites about Alizée in his spare time.

Bring back "The Alizée bar and grill" PLEASE!! :D or perhaps something similar like the Alizée America tiny chat That Jalen created. But for this website. M.A does Ben approve of the idea of having a suggestion box? or did you just post up this thread without consulting Ben, in hopes that he might take a look at other peoples suggestions? just wondering :)

When I mentioned that we are free to post ideas here, then it means that we can suggest without getting into much trouble of thinking the possibility of the idea proposed. I see nothing wrong with this.Any good idea which is practically not feasible (given the software, management and other constraints) can't be implemented anyway. But there is nothing wrong in getting good, feasible ideas getting implemented.

We were free to make the suggestions earlier also. We used to do this through PMs and VMs to Ben and others. Like I said in my first post that idea of this thread is to bring all those suggestions to one place. This will help us to organize the ideas and we can others opinions can be involved into the discussion to have a better idea of what should be done. This will help everyone.

As far as the Alizée Bar and Grill" is concerned, we will have to carry on with the chatbox only. Chatbox is better integration to the forum and easier to maintain than the flashchat.


It would be better if we start with a thread for flash-games. Important thing is that how many people would be interested in submitting the games.

Well, the forum gives you enough options for the maintaining the privacy. About the guest userss, they can register and still see the details what you have put up.


Gallery will return, although I can't tell you exactly when.

A news section on the homepage.

yeah what's up, names umeesha. i'm awesome. i make websites in my spare time. that would like...blow my mind if i heard that in person.

Umeesha is definitely talented in the area of making websites and doing code....whatta beast:D

Can't wait for it to return!!!

The site is clean and elegant as it is. I've been to too many sites the are stuffed with distractions. This site is awesome! :)

Yes! It is very well kept and I am glad there are no ads here:) Let's keep it that way please:)

I've got nothing. This is the only forum I'm active on, so I have nothing to compare it to. It's perfect the way it is now to me! :D

The "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL OF US AT ALIZEE AMERICA! :)" message should be in different colors.

Let us use bigger avatars.
