Hello mlpchan!
After a few community discussions, we are going to implement a few new features. We're very excited to bring you those and I hope you guys will enjoy them!
First and foremost, as you may have noticed, we have a new board:
>>>/ooc/ - Out of Character - Roleplay planning. The growing /rp/ community has been asking for a planning and announcements board as seen here
>>6651, so we're giving it a try, see how it pans out!
Then, we want to discuss /fan/. The imageboard format has never been the most fitting for fanwork projects, and this board hasn't really provided a needed space for that audience, most of whom maintain such things on places like deviantArt or traditional forums.
While we could simply remove it or unlist as unneeded space, we could also try to re-purpose the board before doing anything like that. Nothing would make us happier than seeing /fan/ develop its own community.
One of our ideas is to turn it into a feedboard, getting updates from EQD, EquestriaAfterDark (after our Mature filter, of course) and other feed sources for example… But we feel we could do better.
Would it interest you guys? And if not - what would you like to see on /fan/ if you have ideas of your own?
Site filter, developed by Legendary!!VhZ4lFrash, will be implemented very soon as well, as the code for it simply needs to be tweaked by our very own Mac'.
Finally, I'd like to update you guys on a site-wide announcements system, it has been widely asked for, and we did get a few ideas on it. It is pretty high on the priority list, so expect updates soon.
If you have any input on those matters - please, post them here! ♥
