Creation is the code name for what will basically be the next version of BPSITE+HybridChill+these forums. I'm not yet sure what the final name will be, so if anyone has any suggestions then feel free to give them.
This is just a thread to update people about it, and see if anyone has any good ideas.
Currently, it is divided into five areas: features, activities, resources, articles, community. The community bit underpins the whole of it and the main part of which is obviously the forums. I've had the idea of a community clan section, but so far I've not done much with the idea - does anyone think it would be useful, and if so what sort of things would be good?
Each member of the community will have the option to make use of the various member features available. At the moment these are planned to be: Profile; Journal; Calendar; Bookmarks. I've considered an image gallery, but I'm currently uncertain on that. If there are any features which you would find useful, let me know what they are and how you'd envisage them working.
Activities is the bit where Mindteam and Typing Speed Test will live, and any other activity things I might do.
Resources will (strangely enough) contain resources. Meaning Ri'than Lian, MiniEmotes, IcedWiki, and similar stuff.
It should by now be obvious what Articles will contain. It will essentially be an open library. Personally I plan to do some guides (how to type, how to write good code, etc) and perhaps some other stuff, but the idea of it is to let anyone in the community submit more or less anything - music reviews, stories, poetry, whatever.
So, that's what I'm working towards. I've no idea how long it will take to complete everything, but I'm planning to have the basic stuff in place by the end of this year, with additional bits (Mindteam, EmoteWars, etc) arriving as I complete them.
What are people's thoughts - have I sparked any brilliant brainwaves in anyone's head?

And here I was thinking you'd started a religous debate. Does a journal mean a calender, a diary, or a blog in this case? Regarding the forums - don't use Beehive. Everything else sounds good though. (Although I do wonder how you've got time for all this and not Fate, but meh. Such is life. )

Although I do wonder how you've got time for all this and not Fate, but meh. I've got time for Fate too! If it hadn't been rapidly approaching 8pm when I was posting that, I would also have done a thread explaining my plans for continuing Fate, but that'll have to wait until tonight now. right then, how many years is this going to take? More than ln1.01, less than ln101. Heh, I remember when you tried to implement the new forum style months ago and it kinda died... will this actually work? That wasn't me trying to implement it, I was just doing some tests & giving people a taster. And yes it will work.

Invision is buggy and poo. Beehive is wonderful and great. Except nobody here seemed to like the Beehive interface even though it is actually much better than this flat style. Hence I'll be modding the forum so that by default it appears like this place, but with an option to switch to the proper interface for people with sense. Dissapointingly, nobody has come forward with any name suggestions. My current working title is Midnight/Creation - (the address of the site on my local machine), but I don't know if I like that or not, so somebody please suggest something better.

Um... if you're Moses surely you should be heading up to Hemel and finding a shrub that talks in order to get the new commandments?
