Two Reviews From Outside Parties

Today our humble little community was reviewed not once, but twice, by two sources external to ourselves.

The first was a written review by David Tyrell. In my view, this one has some flaws in what it says, but the message is generally positive. One thing I disliked was the whole "They were happy to accept, felt honored, and said they’d take every criticism constructively" because the only thing I said to him beforehand was "What are you looking to review?".

The second was a mention in a podcastby the Sleek Geeks (their mention of us starts at about the 38:00 mark).

Up until these reviews, I had never spoken to either of the groups involved, so it was a nice surprise to see us recognised in what is a larger pool of talent than we're used to be being among.

Thoughts on these reviews?

Vote to change the fed to the Bobby Franchise show!

They say it needs more colour. Put a giant pic of Bobby Franchise on the background and we'll not only have colour, but crit on future reviews...

BFW.

Bobby Franchise Wrestling. It all makes sense now!!!!!!

Well, the podcast one was better imo. It seems like Overdrive is really appealing to the outsiders in general.

I concur with the more color bits. The forum is very black, white, and grey - a little color certainly wouldn't hurt, I don't think.

I disagree on the little people parts.

Bobby Franchise Wrestling is what's best for business.

Maybe just a faded background with different shades of blues and maybe whites/greys/black across a simple pattern like sporadic diagonal lines to split the colours to add a bit more 'zing' to our website.

I also saw a comment about 'rainbow dialogue'. Is it possible to keep all rps a consistent colour of the order in which dialogue is spoken? E.g. for every rp the first speaker uses blue throughout the rp, second speaker uses green, third speaker uses orange etc. etc. but keep NPCs their same colour.

Otherwise, it's great to hear that we're being recognised by external sources with quite a number of positive points about BFW!

Just glad the dudes in the podcast didnt look next to Bobby Franchise on the roster page and click on Benny Stevens.

Your suggestion actually sounds pretty cool. I would like it also applied to the forum, if at all possible, or maybe even just the forum.

I very much like the rainbow dialogue, though, and disagree about making it uniform rules. Some people are very particular about their color once they settle on it, and I'm one of them. (I'm using Carolina Panthers' blue, because Cam Newton and Caffrey) Uniform promo colors sounds like one of those things that's inititally a good idea to implement, but will be very boring by the third or fourth show that has had it.

Ak doesn't like my idea anyway so it won't happen Haha. Actually, I don't have any problems with the 'rainbow' dialogue but I know we are trying to appeal to others. I don't know that anyone else has said anything about it though so maybe everyone else likes it too!
