G-Man!
After hearing about Sara's departure I was sad to see her go, but I think its time for someone who Loves comicvine to let you know that I have slowly stopped visiting the site throughout the past few months. Now I know what your going to think "great another complaining person" but hear me out. I've been a bigfan of the site and it has showed me sooo much about comics an made me appreciate them again. Heck, my friends are sick and tired of hearing me advertise your site to anyone that mentions comics. I don't know how you guys decide how things go in the office/Site but could you guys try to go back to how you guys were 3 years ago?
Things that I Miss!
-Bring back the Quests!!!!!!! they made people discover and brought users together in times of panic/anger.
-Bring back video vlogs where you guys sit down and talk about comics, tv shows, etc. (Maybe do a video review of the figures, comics, etc. a person is more appealing than a article...the pod casts are good but I enjoy watching people interact vs listening)
-Bring in another girl who is attractive (i'm not saying bring in some model who knows nothing about comics just someone who is attractive to the audience) (Im NOT saying sara isnt attractive im saying bring in someone just As attractive as she is!)
-Bring back "user of the month" (i was always wondering what i had to do to get noticed on Comicvine...you have NO idea how hard i worked on editing unknown character pages)
-Do some contests (they don't have to be big prizes, like do it where the winner gets an interview on skype/ a few questions to introduce themselves via PM...or something corny like that)
-Have more voting Polls about anything and everything (i've noticed it dosen't matter what it is people will vote and comment which will bring back some connection between the users)
-Feature some unknown character page to get users to discover other things besides DC/Marvel
-Ask fans to submit some reviews, play out their fav scenes in past comics or ask the fans to do dorky stuff on Youtube! (Use youtube to your advantage!)
I know, who am i and what do i know about running a site, but when i first got to comicvine by accident i enjoyed the occasional Quests and weekly interviews. I met pretty cool people and like i said enjoyed weekly comicvine news. Lately it seems like less and less activity is going on and you got an entire audience to help contribute beside their fanboy fights. Ask the interns to step their game up and show themselves on Comicvine. But this is just my 2 cents from a fan who wants to be excited to go to comicvine instead of going there every once in awhile and feeling like i'm the only one there.
