We're all mad here.

I'm all for adding new features to trisphee, but I think a total revamp of the entire site might be a bit of a stretch at this time, especially since I expect it would be something of a sink or swim move. We might improve things, or we might be nailing the coffin, so to speak.

I'm all for the webcomic thing, sure, but the notion of a story based on user interactions doesn't sit well with me. For one, if what people say or do has the potential to wind up in a story then Trisphee may as well be one digital forum episode of Big Brother, or other such reality TV. This won't concern come people, but to others who are shy or naturally introverted, the possibility may make them afraid socializing in a genuine fashion. People may end up feeling like they are being critiqued or judged all the time for the purposes of entertainment.

Sure, you can say that people that don't want to participate don't have to, but would it be an opt-in system, or an opt-out? Are people on either side of the fence going to be treated differently from each other?

Clubhouse roleplays, story telling groups, fiction, fanfiction etc. are nothing that can't already be done with the set-up we have. Someone of a mind just has to sit down and start something.

It's alright to have something uniquely Tris, but keep in mind that if you get too much into a niche, you limit your potential userbase. You'd have to decide how large or small of a demographic you'd like to cater to.
