Improving BWINT

Unread post by **Nurann** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:09 pm

Beastbot, I did something very stupid and threw out a lot of my Primal boxes so I can't give you any of their information except for what's on the wiki, but if you need pics for some of the more rare ones like the Burning Convoys or Skeleton Type, I have those. Well, Robot Heroes Burning Beast Convoy is intact, his ultra class counterpart... not as much. But I think you knew that already >.>. Anyways, feel free to pm me if you want any photos from my Primal collection.

Okay, so if I'm understanding you correctly, you want info on ALL variants of show characters, including the super-rare Japanese stuff like Burning Convoy and Lucky Draw Convoy? I could dig up some info on that, not so much pictures because I don't have that stuff.

Yes, you are understanding me correctly. I know it's a big job and if it's too much please don't feel pressured to do it, but if you can, writing up a little info on those figures (and providing images only where you can) would be really good. I think it'd make the site a lot more informative on Beast Wars in all its forms.

As far as non-show, U.S. Beast Wars characters-- would pics and perhaps general information (size class, release date, what toy if any it's redecoed from, perhaps toy bio) be what you're looking for, since you don't want "bonafide" toy reviews on those?

Yes, that would be great. If the character appeared in any of the comics, please mention in brief how he/she featured.

Thanks Beastbot, Aesir and Nurann!

Well, as I said I would, I've been thinking through some things, and I don't think I can write the review for the second comic series. Sorry, Sapphire.

But I will be writing the review for Other Voices Part 2.

Oh, thanks Aesir! Well, what I'd like is a semi-professional overview on the series (but of course you can use your fan's P.O.V to steer the review) that covers its basic premise, anything outstanding about it and how well executed it was. Does that make sense?

I just thought that it would be a great idea to have Tech Spec pages for all the OCs. Like, we could make it up to look like a BW Tech Spec page, and have a submission form for people to fill out for their characters. Sapph, I could totally set that up for you if you want

And then all you have to do is code it appropriately for the website

I got an idea. The voice actors.

We could have profiles of the voice actors. We can have pictures and list as much as we can of their past and future work.

Joshin and Una: those are both very cool ideas, and I will put them in the pipeline for future updates. I need to stress now, though, that all the improvements that BWInt will see has to be a community effort, done over time. I was thinking, as we tackle one thing (i.e. the episode reviews at the moment which are on course for next update) we can put plans into motion for the following update. So each time an update is on the horizon, we as a community can work on a project, be it compiling info on the voice actors or making tech specs for OCs, or whatever. If we all work together, we can really get this done and make BWInt more than just a site for fan fic and fan art (which in the past few years has made up the majority of updated content).

I'd like for BWInt to be more than just a basic archive of BW info and fan works, but a proper resource website encompassing all that is BW; after all, it is the largest (and possibly only) purely Beast Wars site left on the Internet. Let's make it one to be really proud of.

As I am in the thick of University now, I will have to wait until my half term (the end of this month) to update properly, so if we can have the episode reviews in by then and any current projects in the works completed by say, 7th November latest, that'd be great.

Again, any ideas, help and input is appreciated.

That sounds awesome, Sapphire.

Just an update, I should be finished with my The Ascending review by the weekend :3
