I'm posting this as an open discussion for my members! I would love to know what you think about how I could improve the quality and activity of the site, and what kinds of things could I add or improve on that would make this place better for you personally? Please give me your feedback! <3 I appreciate your answers. Beth Greene, @glenn, Michonne, Logan 'Mac' McAllister, Nathan Murdock, @gabe, @maggie, Moriah Jonasen.

Cookies and ice cream for everyone!?!
I kid. Um, I think you've done a great job. Many WD sites struggle to make it. This game is still fairly new so it'll take time to kick off. I think if everyone stays active and post this game will live.
With that being said, I'm a fan of rapid fire. Short but sweet. Not one liners but a few lines of dialogue and action. Everyone's busy with life and work. I know I am. When I get home all I want to do is sleep. When people are online, which varies throughout the day, I think a few rapid fire posts while people ARE online could get juices flowing and characters/story lines moving. Lengthy posts are fine too, but it takes time to write those and then people disappear while you're writing or have to work, and you miss your opportunity until another day passes. Your character is stuck in limbo. Rinse and repeat.
I'm rambling now. You asked what would make the game better for ME personally. My answer is short, straight to the point posts that I can write without stressing while I'm here and ready to write. XD That's my two cents.

Maybe change the background into something more post-apocalipstick? It has a bit of a Twilight-feel to it at the moment... Also kudos on the site! Wish mine were as active back when I had it!

I know I just got here... but I figured I would add in my two cents... I personally like the larger icons and mini profiles when you hover over them and can add a gif and other stats in.. But I think the site is great so far and you have a lot of friendly members! I'm excited to be here..

If I could give you all cookies and icecream, I would! I'm totally okay with rapid fire posting! It's part of the reason I didn't put a word count on the site. I don't want one liners, but I'm okay with a short post filled with great dialogue and action. It's quality over quantity, so you're definitely free to do it. Thank you for your input, Nora. <3

I'll keep an eye open for a better background. If you have something you think would be great, send me a link! <3 This one got picked because it was really just a creepy forest background. I kind of like it, and it's a big enough picture that it doesn't repeat even on a higher screen resolution... so that's what I'd kind of be looking for if I chose a different background picture. Thank you for your input Logan! I love the characters you have brought to my site. I'm not sure exactly how I got this place to be somewhat active, I guess I just found the right people at the right time. My loyal, frequent members like you mean the world to me!

I'll keep that in mind about the profiles, but possibly when I look for a new skin for the site. Since I'm currently using a skin someone else made, I also got to be careful about modifying it, as some people have rules on what you can and cannot modify. Perhaps I can find someone to make this place a nice skin one day too, and that can be incorporated in it. I'm glad to hear you're excited to be here, as I'm happy to have you!

Another small suggestion would be to put accepted character into their own group. It'll change the color of user names so that members will know who has been accepted and who has not.

I just saw that I still have the post-apocalyptic playlist from Spotify back when I had my own site. It features the music from The Walking Dead, the Resident Evil movies and any other songs I thought were appropriate for an apocalyptic playlist. I'll leave you the code for it, it's also something none of the other sites have so it'd be unique on yours Anna. But I'll leave the decision up to you.

as far as suggestions go, maybe every once in a while you could do a special event or something for all the characters to partake in? Or even (especially since you have the members) start up "Of the Month" contests or just writing contests in general? I've seen these go over pretty well on other sites, and more often than not everyone gets an award at some point or another, and they tend to help creative juices flow =]
PS- if you're thinking about making a new skin, I'd like to offer my help! =D i love codey things and i can send you the link to my site to see what I can do =] <3

If you create something cool, I'd be more than happy to add it as a skin option on this site, since I'm not too code savvy myself.

If you create something cool, I'd be more than happy to add it as a skin option on this site, since I'm not too code savvy myself. YAY! and the writing contests alternated every month... like one was a specific scenario and you had to use an OC and make it 700 words... or one had people sign up and at the end of the week each person was given a canon character and they had to create a 1000 word story in that character, and another was basically who plays the canon the best and we were given a scenario and the particular canon and each person wrote as that canon and what they think they would do in that situation =] but you can do a whole slew of them and google writing prompts and such for ideas =D and definitely!!! I'll pm you about the stuff you'd like to see stay in the skin and I can get to work on it =D

One thing I suggest is a sub board in each state section, or a boards itself to archive completed threads, and ones that have died. As time goes on, it could get quite cluttered in various boards.
