#BuildaBetterEden - Community Planning: 01.05.2012 - Everybody Welcome!

Ok, those of you who have been coming to these meetings for a while will recognize a lot of repeats, but I wanted to make sure that people who hadn't been here would see the whole list, so I'll start with ideas we've already implemented.Implemented ideas:-The big brother/big sister program was a suggestion made to try and help new people figure out the site easier. There hasn't been much direct work on the exact idea, but there has been a lot of work put into developing programs for all types of assistance. -The Community Blog Directory. This was brought up early on and was put together by a contributor. It was published and I keep it updated when new blogs are added to it. -Merch in general. We discussed different things that could be Eden branded. So far (August 2011) we have a few Eden branded toys (Kissa and Passion dual bullets), a toy pouch, wipes, and the first T-shirt from the design contest. Later on we added the tote bag, a cock ring, and a towel to the mix.-Having a CPM newsletter, something that would remind people when the meetings are and give them updates on what happened in the last meeting. As of right now the CPM is mentioned in the weekly email that lists upcoming events and meeting summaries can be read on our blog. -A public calendar to help community members keep track of events. For a few months this was a thread that Gary or I started that listed all of the upcoming events for that month. Eventually it became the calendar at the top of the forum and on the community news page. -Removing points on voting polls. While we haven't necessarily done this specifically, we have reworked the points program to adjust the payout for certain activities and help reduce point farming. There's no official release date as of yet, but it is currently in programming. -Expanding the community news page to truly reflect all the things currently being offered. At this point, the community news page contains a little bit of everything. There's always room for improvement though, so ideas for other things to add/change are welcome.-Getting an automatic notification of when your student has been given an assignment. While there's still no automatic notification, you can ask Justin to notify you if he does create an assignment. He's normally really good about letting you know if it's been done or not to begin with, and once you know that the assignment has been created you can ask your student whether or not they've accepted it from there. -Removing “committee” from the name of this meeting. As you can see, it went from the Community Events Committee to the Community Planning Meeting after a poll was taken on the forums. -Signatures for club managers. Since there's already a pretty box and title associated with each club manager, a signature for each post seemed a little over the top. An answer to wanting to add a signature without always having said signature was to prepare a pre-formatted post and add it to the end of relevant posts. -Sticky threads. These were released on the forums at the same time as a few other developments. With that round of updates we got sticky threads for upcoming events, announcements from staff, and featured threads; along with individual posters and total post counts on threads; and banners at the top of the forum!-Limiting the time that a poll can be voted on. We now have the ability to set time limits on polls that we create. -Changing the time of the Reviewers Spotlight so that it was right after the Community Planning Meeting instead of right before. -A stickied guide to clubs. Due to people not really knowing what requirements for clubs were and thinking they needed to be accepted, I created a guide to clubs, workshops, and parties and stickied it on the forums. -A stickied tutorial post. There have been a lot of helpful tutorials over the years, but they seem to be mostly gone now. I've been going through and creating new ones, and putting all the active ones I could find in master list of tutorials. -Adding summaries to each meeting link. This was another one that probably should have been done a long time ago, and while it isn't exactly what we had initially intended, I was able to put together a list of summaries and my notes on the meetings from 2010 and 2011. less

dang, thats alot..


so. my opinions


big brother/sister program sounds like a marvelous idea. i'd volunteer to be a big sister if the program is ever implemented. it could be something like the mentor program... folks sign up to have a big bro/sis and they could be pals until the end of time or eden, whichever comes first.


Eden merch i was really disappionted that the cock ring was disposable. thats so wasteful! i'd like to see more eden products, but something a little more sustainable. also, the wipes are amazing, but the cover plastered with the words 'sex shop' make them not as friendly to keep out on the back of the toilet (where i like to use them alot) in case company comes.

newsletter personally i'm not sure we need a CPM newsletter. but it could be useful.

public calendar. the forum page is helping out alot on that anymore. the banner at the top with rotating events is awesome, as well as the upcoming events slots and new sticky threads. those are super helpful. i'm not sure we need a calendar either, but it could be helpful.

removing points on voting in polls ... fine by me! makes for a more honest response.

the stickied threads and tutorial posts are fucking awesome. less

I feel as though ideas that we haven't done much with could spark a lot of conversation, so I'm going to save those for last. Let's take a look now at clubs!

Clubs suggested:
-Time zone issues have been brought up time and time again. A suggestion of making the meetings later in the evening, up to 11pm Eastern has been brought up, but there wasn't a big enough call for it that anything was done. Changing the time of meetings is a possibility if enough people call for it.

Clubs we've implemented:
-Community Gives Back. This started with the holiday families and became Eden Gives Back. Participation in Eden Gives Back has dropped, and EGB has moved back to the Community Planning Meetings.
-An erotica writing club was brought up. This wavered back and forth between people wanting to read/write erotica and people who wanted to read/write non-erotic things. Eventually this turned into Eden Lit.
-Birthday club was suggested at meeting 6. In January of 2011 we started having monthly threads announcing members birthdays.
-Holiday parties were brought up. We planned the first holiday party in this meeting, and then later on formed the Holiday Party Committee. Committee was dropped from that title and now we have Holiday Party Planning meetings.
-Contributor of the Month was brought up at the second meeting. It was put into place shortly after that, and by meeting 8 was open to everybody to nominate, not just members of the 'committee.'
-Blogger club was announced. While not an initial idea of the CPM, this meeting did help give that club ideas for improvement.
-A cooking club was suggested. A lot of potential was brought up with this club, and it sat around a while as an idea before becoming a fully formed club.
-Sewing club, or something similar. This was brought up around meeting 9. A general art club was also brought up, featuring all mediums except photography since we already had started a photography club. At this point the closest thing we have is our Eden Arts and Crafts club. This can cover art in general, but also crafty things like sewing or knitting.
-Photography club was brought up by Gary and I in one of these meetings. Gary started a thread to check for interest, and shortly thereafter the Eden Photographers club was born.
-Movie club. While initially meant to be something where people could get together and animate small movies, we eventually developed a different movie based club; Eden Flicks.
-Not a club, but the idea of adding clips of people reading from book club selections was something that was brought up here and was also done for Naked Reader. You'll need to email Laurel (laurelb@ edenfantasys.com) to figure out if you can add one to a Naked Reader book's page.


Clubs that have only been brought up:
-Music club. It wouldn't have to be like the clubs we have now, but at least a thread here and there for the musicians of the site to get together, try stuff out on each other, and talk about music in general. It was brought up a few more times, but never went anywhere.
-The idea of having a non-erotic book club was suggested. Somebody stepped up to show some interest in managing the club, but it hasn't gone anywhere.
-An anime/otaku club. It could be culture, cosplay, or hentai. This only got brought up once and hasn't gone anywhere. less

Mu original concept of the BB/BS program was that it was not necessarily related to reviews since not all contributors write reviews. Also, it would be offered as soon as someone created a profile. Right now, most newcomers don't know about the mentor program let alone how to sign up for one. This program would be immediately offered to everyone as a personal resource to navigate the site and community. less

Now for contests/games!

Contests/games suggested:

Contests/games that have been done:
-The Halloween contest was discussed at the very first meeting. This is something that could easily be done each year.
-Design contests. The initial idea was brought up by Viktor who had an example of challenging the community to come up with an Eden sports jersey, not necessarily for sale but for fun. So far we've done the T-shirt designs that the community has designed.
-Live community games involving quizzes, photo hunts, etc. The closest we've come to these is during the parties and some club meetings, where trivia is given and then asked about later on.
-Some kind of bingo. People could be given a number with each order or even if you participate in one of the clubs or meetings. We could make up a bingo card and the first one to get a bingo would win a prize or GC. Emma has done this for Porn Club


Contests/games that never went anywhere:
-Sex toy trivia contests. The closest we've got to this right now is the Name that Toy contest in the Weekly Roundup.
-A 20 questions game was brought up. Similar to the guess the number contests, there wasn't a great time to try them.
-A monthly question where we ask something safety related and you answer. Prizes were a possibility but it was mostly going to be for fun. Kayla has her weekly Sex Facts now that while not the same idea, do promote safety information.
-Guess the number contests. Idea was brought up but not taken any further because there didn't seem to be a “best” time to do it.
-Carving genitalia out of canned ham, or creating them with any other medium. less
