Any chances for switching to a neat, S2 layout, which shows the tags? It would make it a LOT easier.

Good idea. We'll have to see what The Mod has to say about that.

I don't really care much for tags, but I like the idea of going back and editing posts after I've made them to pick and choose tags that apply to my entries here.

As for the last paragraph there though, I think "holo/human!robot" would make a good generic tag for... er... human interpretations of the TFs - holograms they might use and whatnot. It'll certainly cut down on the number of tags used by the community since we won't be using one for each specific TF by name. Artists may draw human versions of their own original characters as well, and there may come a tag that has no other entry once again.

So anyway, that's my two cents for the time being.

I've gone through the tag list again; the holo![character] tags are now no more. All entries with human!transformers are tagged with "holo/human!robot" and the names of featured characters.

Thanks for the input!

YES. YES. YES. This needed to be said.

Also, when creating multiple tags for a post, please separate them with commas-- not spaces, not dashes, not periods. Commas.

Otherwise, you get one long weird tag.

I'm seriously tempted to make you a mod, because honestly you'd do way better than me with this whole "official" thing. Would you be interested?

Also, am going to switch to an S2 layout sometime in the near future (read: week or two). *Sad Face Here* Looks like the end of S1 has finally come...

You'd have to give me some guidelines (what to delete, when to ban, what is our stand on abortion, etc.), but I can try. I wouldn't be able to do all that entertaining stuff, (challenges etc.) and I'm absolutely useless with layouts. But grunt work? No problem! I check the comm too often per day, anyway.

My e-mail's sayaaensland(at)gmail.com, if you need to send me details.
