Trying to pump some life into this place!

[emily]

Hello everybody! Most new members most likely don't even really know who I am since I unfortunately have been just beyond busy for the past I don't know, few years...

My friend originally started this board what seems like forever ago, and made me the co-admin. Since then I kind of took the reigns more so, trying to make new layouts and added the role-playing area. But then I too fell off the face of the Earth.

This board, however, has managed to stay semi-active, still attracting new members and keeping old ones coming back! Which I think is just fantastic, and speaks volumes to just how amazing Alice in Wonderland is!

I'm a bit rusty when it comes to these boards now, unfortunately, but will look into getting some new layouts and cleaning up the boards. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to see if any members who have shown dedication to this board (even more so than myself.. ) would be interested in a moderating position to help me keep this board growing and thriving! If anyone is interested, please send me a private message!

I'm one of the few users who regularly visits this board nowadays.

As far as suggestions, my offer for a image/screencap gallery or image-related board still stands.

By keeping the board growing and thriving, do you mean raising awareness of this board on other websites?

[emily]

I will get right on making a screencap board! And yes, just trying to get more active Alice in Wonderland fans here!

I weeded through the members list and removed anyone with under 2 posts. I may send out an e-mail to the remaining members to see if anyone is interested in returning.

Great to see that there's now a screencap board!

I've already started three new threads in the Movie and Adaptations board and one new thread in the Bizarre Room board. Is there anything else I can do to help pump some life into this place?

[emily]

That's great! Thanks so much! I can't think of anything at the moment besides advertising. Maybe just mentioning it on other boards, or other places. I have a tumblr account I was considering posting about it there.

I posted some threads on IMDb's board for Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Lenny's Alice in Wonderland Site forum. Hopefully, that will help.

Great! Thank you so much! You've been such an awesome and dedicated member of this board! It is very much appreciated. =]

I just added a new banner. It has a different look to it than the last, what do you guys think? I am also in the process of trying to make a new wallpaper to go along with the logo if everyone thinks it looks alright. Any suggestions?

[moroboshi]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm all in favor of a new wallpaper. The only suggestion I can think of at the moment is to use either a wallpaper related to the John Tenniel illustrations or the 1951 to contrast with the Tim Burton Alice banner.

That's a great idea! I'm awful at figuring out dimensions for backgrounds, you wouldn't happen to know what I should use so it fits properly in the forum do you?

[moroboshi]

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in formatting websites or backgrounds. I've found a few links that will hopefully offer some sort of helpful advice though. I hope this helps!

So, I made an image that was 1024 x 768 I believe, I think that was the sizing that one website said is typically standard for most computers. As you can see, however, the image is not fitting correctly and is repeating. Hm. I will try and figure that out. Thank you for the help!
