Welcome, Traveler, to Heroes of the Net!

Right now you're a Guest, so there's a lot you don't have access to: the chatbox, arcade, download center, and more. To make posts and have access to the entire forum all you have to do is register.

But be warned, Heroes of the Net is a different kind of forum. We're an online community of friends and enemies alike; all looking to have fun. This is a place where everyone can be themselves and openly speak their mind. Heroes of the Net is a community of individuals and while all the rest of the world is yellow, we choose to be pink.

If this is the community you'd thrive in, fit in, and enjoy being a part of, then by all means: Welcome to Heroes of the Net and enjoy your stay!

Ideas to make the forum more active. Go!

- Renovate the forum layout;
- Wipe out all posts;
- Finish a *ing decent RP (don't worry, I'm on it ma'am!);
- Get new members;
- Start threads that can last for a while.


Imo, if we clean out the forum and delete all posts, we'll be able to start from scratch and make all topics again, which will help with activity. We just have too much useless topics around.

Also, create an announcement box where the chatbox is currently at, and insert news like "We're reviving this place, all posts deleted, whatever, blabla".

Sepparating the chatbox from the index would be a good idea. And making it chatango would be a good idea too, but idk if you liked it or not last time, so ignore this part.

We need stuff that actually attract people to specific forums. GFX lessons, RP fighting tournaments, anime episode downloads (which we already have. Nice one, Nubi!) and if we decide to go all-out illegal, music downloads would be cool, too. If we managed to have a sub-forum with discographies from japanese bands, we'd definitely get a bigger crowd that is into anime, since discographies are hard to get and people might actually register to download them.

Where's the "I don't care" option?
Because... you know... I don't. :p

she cloaks the world
in an impenetrable darkness.
A chill rises
from the soil
and contaminates the air
suddenly...

Hrm... Sure, whatever. I only really come around anymore out of habit but I suppose I could probably move somewhere else. Might even help out, and being one of the few of us willing to spend money...

My Blog: Thoughts of Randomness

So, like usual, I try to change this every so often.
I don't know if anyone notices, but I do it anyways.
I hate studying.
Have I mentioned this?
Anyways, I do.
It bites.
In other news,
It all began with Brownies.
And then sped up a little bit.
Not quite to phone numbers yet though,
But that might change.
I hope it does.

Fun Quote!
Dahleks be warned, you have declared war on Cybermen.
This is not war. This is pest control!
We have 5 million Cybermen. How many are you?
We are 4.
You would destroy the Cybermen with 4 Dahleks?
We will destroy the Cybermen with 1 Dahlek. You are superior in only one respect.
What is that?
You are better at dieing.

I take a vacation and this is what happens...

I like your initiative PW but I wouldn't have shut down HotN and after some news from Kag decided to drop by and see what all the fuss was about. So here I am.

if nobody is opposed to an invasion of weaboo's who have no lives and thus would be ideal, albeit weaboo's nonetheless I can get some to join. I have connections to these people. Unfortunately...

They might be useful for starting an RP forum and could be kept active there with an anime board

Since Nubi isn't going to give up on HotN, I'm guessing she'll be okay with you bringing them over here.

EDIT: Gonna try to change the topic to a "New ideas for the forum".

I actually like the idea of wiping out all the posts, although I don't know how the others would take to it. A new start isn't a bad idea, really.

Also, I can easily get an announcement box and replace the cbox with the chat box that zetaboards has built in now, if preferred. It would appear like a categories description...

Getting new members might be the most challenging part. That, and finishing an RP.

I agree on the chatbox thing - I was about to type chaxbot. Am I going dyslexic?

Shcneaerurruritaber says he can bring some members. We don't need that many as of now.. If we managed to get 5~6 who actually stayed active, other people would come along and remain active aswell. I can advertise at the Pokémon website Pete goes to, but I doubt the members would be able to adapt here, according to him.

We can also create a twitter for advertisement purposes. Usually, people check links and that kinda stuff if the messages are interesting. I wouldn't mind managing it, if you can't be arsed to.

Built in chatbox is at the bottom of the forum categories, so that is what it will look like. Adapts to skins and has built in usernames linking to our profiles.

I've no objections to a HotN Twitter account. If you'd like to set it up and give it a generic password we, or any other chosen users, can help administrate it and post updates/ads. Whatever works.

Shcneaerurruritaber... um... is Schneeraubtier REALLY that hard to spell?

The twitter idea sounds good and using chatango would help with the weaboos staying seeing as that is how the word would be spread to them. That and the fact that it appears there is a decent anime theme going now. Apparently...

Chatango was rather buggy on the forum...

Yes, Shcneaerurruritaber. It really is hard to spell; Plus it's fun to mock you. As for reviving it, I've no idea. It's really hard to get members; and really hard to keep them. The chatango sounds like a decent idea i suppose.....Maybe you should get rid of Shcneaerurruritaber, i bet he scared everyone away with his epic troll skillzorz >_>
Something Something, blah blah. *Insert epic picture of epic things here*

No that was Snowraptor. Schneeraubtier is the most stable of my personas so the medications help keep him out most of the time.
