Ok. So, I just wanted to get thoughts from people on the website. What does everybody want to see on the site... What are some things they think should be taken off the site etc...
I personally would greatly like to see the forums come up when we click forums instead of having to choose another link to click. But thats just me... I want everybody's feedback and input. We are at the beginning of something big and I want us to have a great site and community. So, EVERYBODY give input for this project. That way I can build something ALL of us can be proud of.
*EDIT*
Suggestions so Far:
Website - Direct Link to Forums
Forums - Direct Link to Website Character Development RP Forum Join form on Forums via copy and paste Feedback Forum
Cards/results - Actual Locations for Cards Easier access for Cards and Results

I think whatever you make will be awesome.
I definitely agree about the link to the Forums. I think when you click the Forums link it should take you straight to the main forums page.
Other then that actual title belts would be pretty cool.

It might be cool to have a Character Development RP subforum, which could double as a Rumor Mill.

Something that can be used for deputs and to help push storylines off camera so to speak. Maybe if enough people want it, the higher ups will rethink it.

I would like to see what locations the matches are being booked in when the cards are posted. One of the things I often like to do in my roleplays is visit the area the matches are taking place and show my character in the towns, historical monuments, etc... It can also make for interesting themes (you know, spending a month overseas in Europe or Japan, or heading south of the border for a month or so).
Unless all the events are taking place in the same arena in philly, which would make this idea redundant.

I agree that the forums sub-menu really isn't needed since you can select any of those options on the boards themselves. I'd also like to see a link on the boards that return you to the SCW home site. Not sure how to make that possible, but it would be preferred.
Personally I think the SCW banner needs to be as wide as the body (middle portion) of the web site. Right now it looks a little off. Also I think the banner should be on every page, and not just the home page.
Finally I think there needs to be a sub-menu for the Superiority link. I think there should be a way to see only the line-up for every Superiority, and a way for you to see the results for every Superiority. The line-ups could be a link to a single page that lists every show, and their line-ups. The latter could be a list of links with the name, and show date (ie 6/10/12 - Superiority).
That's all I can think of for now. I'll post more if anything else pops out at me.

Justin you and I think alike. with the new site there will be a better system placed for the cards and results.

Thanks for the comments, guys!
I've got to be honest...we went with Angelfire for a layout because it's what we were familiar with...unfortunately, they've changed alot over the years.
Now they make it mandatory to use their site builder, apparently, unless you invest money into the site (something we plan on doing, just want to see how SCW starts off...right now, looking good)...so it limits us in our abilities to edit pages.
For instance, it won't let us link directly to the forums...I don't know why that's the case, but it is.
I can fix the forums page and leave one link for the main area, which, I think, would be better...
Also, this new site that TXO is working on looks badass and should fix a ton of these issues.
Keep the input coming, though...it's our job to give you guys the best product possible.

Honestly and this is just my personal opinion but I think you guys would benefit for having the join form as a copy and paste on the boards rather than something on the site ...or at least in addition to the form on the site in case people find the boards first. It also helps us handlers if we want to change anything in the profile... that way we can just edit it instead of having to send staff anything.
Besides that, I've never been a fan of bracket rosters and always like visual representation ...but sometimes that is hard without a or the RIGHT graphics crew.
With that said, I kind of like that the combination of not a lot of graphics, the angelfire site, and the graph roster gives it an old school feel. Makes me feel like I am back in 2001 and have NO IDEA what I'm doing ...while I watch recorded VHS tapes of Jericho Vs. that one guy who did that horrible thing in a ladder match at the Royal Rumble.

With the new site the roster will have graphics. I have tossed the idea of posting bios on the forums so that the members can update whenever they want and not add that extra work load to the staff. I know I am just a member but I am trying to work as close as possible with the SCW staff to get a perfect website as well as an easy way to maintain roster bios. a lot of changes are coming so I hope you all will bare with us as we embark on the next chapter of scw.

Well, it sounds like you are well suited and care enough to be staff. Again, new person speaking, but it seems that I've already read a few posts where you are taking the initiative ...AND it seems that the fed is growing and there have been some resignations from staff ... Again, this is just someone who is pretty much on the outside looking in and I might be reading things incorrectly ...but it seems you really want to make this place succeed and that is something that the owners should be taking notice of. Again, that is just what I have seen as I scrolled through the site over the last day.

Again, that is just what I have seen as I scrolled through the site over the last day. You are correct Lexington. The SCW initials have a special place in my heart, even if when I left the other place, the bridge went up in flames behind me. Stress and a quick temper can do those types of things. I know this is a completly different place, but I have a very good feeling about this place, and I'm hoping I am able to help Trevor and the rest of the staff with making this a amazing place. Whether I am staff or not, I want this place to succeed and I will do everything I can to help make sure it does. Also, if anybody has anymore ideas, please, put them here. The site is no where near completion and would like to incorporate as many of all of your ideas as possible.

No need to walk on egg shells around here, Lex. Most of us are too old to get upset about opinions, and we all like feedback even for the fed.
And there's something familiar about you...I'll figure it out.
