Just been looking over DarkStorm and wanted to post a list of suggestions to possibly help improve things and maybe open up situations in which activity would increase.

Significant Buildings Sub-Forums

In all the towns and villages there are sub-forums for things like sanctums, palaces, marketplaces, etc. Though I was thinking we need even more sub-forums to help organize things since threads can get cluttered, and all those pages and discourage a player from posting there because they don't know what is currently going on. So I think places like inns and such should get their own sub-forums. This way it is much easier for GM's to create NPC's in the inn, pinned topics can be made about inn information, etc. This is is one I really think we should get going simply because it opens up ways of increasing activity.

Suggestive Creations From GMs

Sometimes when a GM considers creating something they're unsure whether it'd be too large of an event and create an unwanted impact on DarkStorm, so along with posting their idea in the "Unofficial Rules and Features" forum, they could put in their title "PROPOSAL: -title-" or something of the sort, and that would send the message that they want opinions from other DStorm GMs and Cspace if their idea is safe to be implemented. If approved, then the title can be edited to "APPROVED: -title".

Possibly Work on States System/Experience Gaining?

Again the question of the post count relation to DarkStorm. I'm still thinking it would be nice to have some other way of gaining experience in DarkStorm, although I along with I'm sure others aren't really looking for the "x number of exp. per goblin kill" thing going on. Maybe we could just work out something separate from post counts that's exactly the same (just a different name), like plain experience points or something, which would be earned from winning battles, and just plain good roleplaying (which in my opinion is more enjoyable than battles in a forum RPG).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those are all of the suggestions I'll post for now. Hopefully DarkStorm can continuously improve into a better, more-organized, and enjoyable forum RPG. I'll get to work on some quests of some sort now, and I'd also set up some things in Inn sub-forums and whatnot to get it started.
