When I said re-focus, I meant re-focus on the purpose of the website. Before the website was very much a ratings source for people who wanted to know how Smallville is rating. Now people seem to be using this website to download episodes and discuss episodes.
Thus was thinking of adding a few extra pages
-> Episode Download Page -> Episode Reviews - any volunteers to write reviews? season 6?
PLUS Thinking of doing a time line of how exactly Lex became evil or how lex and Clark have become enemies, although can't really remember the key episodes or significant events of when this actually happened, it seemed to just happen so bloody gradually i didn't even notice!
The download page and the review page sounds like a cool idea.
I think you should dedicate or have a special thanks to find_me_here on the download page since he was the one who made downloading the episodes available for us.
The timeline sounds like an original, cool idea. It can give others an overview of why Lex is so evil now for viewers who have tuned in late.
Wow I never knew this site was orginally a ratings site. I think re-focusing is a good idea.
If I have time, I might be interested in reviewing some episodes.

yeah fanfics arent bad, for those like me who enjoy reading it, maybe you can make like a seperate page, where peope can do fics, you dont write it, the members do,
on one of the other forums, im actually writting some fics, and my writting is so crap, but what kept me writting,(i really hate writting) is the great feedback i got from heaps of people, so i hope, as well, that peter makes a fanfiction page, cause i'm sure that most of us can write something, which is great, lol
Obviously there is a big demand for fan-fiction, I would like to make a page for it, but there is nothing stopping you from creating a thread for fan fiction.
yeah but i want one of those pages like eg, clana shippers, and then you can make topics whithin that page, you get me, but i'm not demanding anything, you make a fanfic page, great, you dont, still great, either way you got a good forum, lol
ooh, nice, we're getting some new stuff on the forum, but once the fanfic page is created, and if i do a fic, no one better laugh, cause my writting is crap, lol
And also, I still think the default option for viewing threads should be "Last Modified" instead of "Date Added" simply because guests won't be able to see old threads that are replied to, and can't be bumped up the list of the growing topics. Hope this makes sense.

yeah, i set mine to last modified becuase it was hard for me to to find the topics that people have replied to, so now when ever someone posts something it goes to the top of the list, which is awsome,
i was thinking about the website the other day and thought since the season is over would we be able to submit season 6 videos such as the one on the homepage. you know like a wrap up of the season kinda thing. what do you think?
i really dont care if this website is updated, cause its good as it is right now, although it wouldnt hurt for some new stuff to be added, thats just my opinion. i dont think this is me talking, being watching season one of smallville since yesterday, gone a bit crazy, cause of clana scenes, so beautiful,
i absolutely love the pilot, its the one episode i can rewatch all i want, cause you can never get anough of it, but i found the features interesting, cause theres this thing, like lexs intranet, or whatever, and you can read his emails, but i couldnt seem to access his other files,
Hi I realise there has been a lack of updates, and I apologise. I just don't have as much time as I use to now that I am not a bludgy uni student anymore and am now working full time. There are so many things I want to add to the website, but its been such nice weather every weekend and its too depressing staying at home on the computer when its such a nice day outside.
The forum is now more popular than the website, which is understandable as there is new content on it basically everyday! The popularity of this forum is higher than ever, with an average of 80 visitors a day! and an average of 3.5 posts a day. Unfortunately the actual website visitors are at its lowest since the website first opened, which is understandable seeing I barely update it.
NEW PAGES Ive wanted to add: -> episode reviews - a few people volunteered but nothing eventuated. -> episode downloads -> Update the character bios -> put in a lex and Clark enemy timeline - Need more info for this, and couldn't be bothered researching it myself -> add more video content. -> make the forum and website more as one - this will require me to learn PHP, mysql or ASP and I will have to find a free webspace provider that will support this.
Obviously this is a lot of work for a side hobby, and I don't see it getting done anytime soon to be perfectly honest. The popularity of this website has surpassed all my expectations and I greatly appreciated all of the visitors support. It has potential to be much bigger than what it is at the moment, and right now I realise its simply not meeting the needs of the visitors. Hopefully this will be fixed one day, perhaps by getting more people on board to help out?
Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
An average of 80 visitors a day? That's awesome. The forums have been really busy compared to previous months, which is great.
Episode Reviews - I was one of those who volunteered, and I'm still happy to do it. Although with exams coming up it might be a while till I do.
Episode Downloads - I'm sure find_me_here could help you with all that.
Character Bios - An update would be pretty cool, with newer photos and descriptions -- as most of the charcacters on the show have matured and slightly changed since the first few seasons. And also, has "Lex Luther" been corrected yet to Lex Luthor? I remember it being mispelt last time I was at the website, although this was a while ago.
Lex and Clark enemy timeline - This sounds like an awesome idea. I'm sure ameythest would be happy to help with that. I think ameythest did a perfect job in the "Superman Timeline" thread outlining the actors who played Superman.
More video content - Find_me_here has expressed interest in making videos for the website. Sounds awesome.
The website and forum as one - I think this is a good idea also.
Can't wait when all the updates eventually start happening -- and we understand that you're very busy. I'm sure there are plenty of members here who can help out, including myself.
And I agree with you, this website has so much potential.
Keep it up.

i just clicked on that, i guess the country i was originaly from doesnt know what smallville is, but thats great that the emericans are taking interest.
According to the interactive map in the "List All Users" section there are:
- 3 users in the United States - 1 user from the United Kingdom - 1 user from Germany - 1 from Spain - 1 from Indonesia - and 110 users from Australia.
Now that's really cool.
