User blog:KeybladeSpyMaster/Socializing the wiki

Hey guys, KeybladeSpyMaster here! So, I've been meaning to ask/suggest regarding a means to socialize. Something I think would be healthy for our wiki and to grow our community is to socialize, get to know each other, and, in the name of the wiki's purpose, float story/character ideas around, bouncing them against other fellow KHFanon fans. So, I have three questions:


 * 1) Do we want a web chat? 

Basically, do we want a means to instantly communicate. Our sister sites, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki and The Keyhole have their own channel on the IRC through which they instantly communicate with their fellow editors. Do we want something like that? Do we want to instantly message each other?


 * 1) If yes, what do we want?

This wiki has an IRC channel, though none of us here right now have operator rights there. Wikia since has also introduced the famous wiki chat, which I can enable if we want. Lastly, we can simply join another KH channel like the KHWiki's or The Keyhole's (I'm pretty sure they won't mind, since it's pretty quite there sometimes, and they talk about anything anyways).


 * 1) '''Do we want to upgrade our Forums to Wikia's forum boards (See Here) or keep our basic forums (they way they are right now)?

It's kind of an aesthetic thing, but upgrading to Wikia's forum boards would allow us to remake our forums from scratch. On the other hand, we lose out on the ability to use Talk Bubbles, which are arguably a lot more fun to use in Kingdom Hearts websites with the avatars from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, if we upgrade to Wikia's forums. Additionally, I think our old forums are probably more customizable (if I knew how to).

Be sure to voice your opinion on what we should do here. I really need you guys to voice your thoughts on where we want to take this site!
