Alright its early and I don't feel like making this thread look nice haha but these are a few things that I believe would help out our community.
I know that I was recruited to this amazing community from a forum post on The Halo Council's webpage because I was looking for an active community to be part of and along with gaining me as an active member I also brought along Barbie Boy. So recruitment from forum post do work but I'm sure that by now all of the of treads posted on other sites have been buried or deleted by now, so what I'm proposing is that we write up a singular forum post and get it posted on the few remaining Halo community's out there. The one good thing about the reduction of the Halo population is that there are fewer places that we have to go to to look for new members haha
Another aspect that I believe we could improve upon is out FAQ page, if you go to it the first thing you see is "FORERUNNER CONFLICT IS A HALO: REACH WAR SIMULATOR" so lets dust of this important aspect for new members and revamp it. Very few people enjoy reading huge blocks of text and after browsing it it in no way is helpful to new members wanting to know how FC works. Ive been here for almost a year and there are still aspects of FC that I don't understand due to the lack of written information or easy access to that information.
Now in line with a FAQ page I think we need a Introductory page, this page would have all of the basic info and would be viewed when viewing the site when not logged in as a member or added to the page where you choose which army to choose. The need for this comes from that while a forum post or a message over xbl will give the gist of what FC is they can only explain so much. For all of those that come to the site without ever actually talking to a member they might not fully understand what we are and might never join because they didn't think that this was their kind of thing.
I have browsed the FC Youtube page and we can really improve upon that area, We could really use a "Recruitment Video" basically it is the exact same thing as the forum post or the intro info I discussed above but just in video format. Now this video is very close to what I believe would be perfect, It doesn't focus on the Halo gameplay too much, music is good so all we would have to do is shorten it and add the new revised info to it.
