I appreciate all you do and hesitate to pester you with a request. I would like second @greenfieldsโ earlier request to open up Open Threads for A Poem a Day. We only would like a designated place to discuss and obsessed over our new favorite show, and do not necessary need a Misty style OT if none of the DB staff is available.
Here are my 2 suggestions:
1) Open Thread in the Recap section perhaps posted each Wednesday for the two episodes that week without synopsis or discussion. Even a brief description like what we see in the video section would be greatly appreciated but not necessary.
2) Inspired by @hades suggestion, how about just having section on the bottom of the homepage maybe named “On-Air Shows Open Thread” similar to what we see now in the “Currently Recapping” and “Recently Completed.โ By clicking on the show icon, it will lead to the showโs page with the tab on top to select which episodeโs OT we want to comment on. This is sort of a โback alleyโ option if you feel that since DB is not generating content you would prefer not to feature them on the top of the homepage in the โRECAPS.โ
Hopefully either these two options will require little time from the DB staff, and it certainly will sooth many of our fangirlsโ hearts. As you may see, for the last 24 hours many of us have fallen in love with the show. Thank you for all you do.
Every Beanie has his/her own fan wall which one may access by clicking on the profile pic on the top right corner. You may post any comments, pics (up to 5) or GIF as you wish. You can view the fan wall by clicking the “Beanies” tab on the top of the homepage to see what other Beanies are fangirling about, @bigmomma12345!
Any place where we can dump our thoughts about this show would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your plea, @kimbapnoona. All the love to our drama godesses.
NP. I was wondering why I was missing some notifications as of late. I only recently realized that the max notifications that will show is 10–I think. So you have to go to your notifications list to get all the notifications. You kinda have to guess what the last one was though. @mary, is there an issue with this? Could we revert to when the counter kept the notifications that haven’t been read?
@bbstl a trick you can do is to open the notifications from the bell icon in new tabs via the keyboard and mouse shortcuts. That’s once your notification count is under 10 so you don’t miss others.
@bbstl if you press and hold on the notif link, you’ll get an option to open that link in a new tab. It’s how I open multiple notifs on my iPhone. Maybe iPad works the same? Good luck! (And I’m sorry the features are so buggy!)
The โmentionsโ is not usually seen on the master list though; these are the tags that fall off if you check your โreplied to commentโ first. Iโm really bad at explaining computer stuffโsorry, @mary.
Yes – I realised this morning that it just says 10 to mean >=10. I thought, ten, that’s not too bad after yesterday’s spamfest and then I saw that there were actually 2 pages of notifications ha ha
Brilliant idea! Dont you think it’s about time we have open thread for shows that are great but not recapped yet? A poem a day is too good to miss out, and I bet many of us are about to go nuts for not having a way to spazz about it. ๐
Terrific idea! Heck, Iโd be happy with even just one Open Thread per show – doesnโt have to be new each week. Granted, it may be too unwieldy if a show is popular with lots of comments but it would minimize the work of DB staff by not having to post new pages each week.
Drama gods are just vicious with their karma retribution, vicious I tell ya. 😂😂😂 Happy day at work and hope you can join us at the “fauxpen thread” party soon, @outofthisworld!
Signed. Great idea.
I’ve been MIA lately because I didn’t have a place to discuss the shows I was watching anymore (since they weren’t being recapped). Just Between Lovers beanies made a home for themselves in the news thread, but it was hard to keep up with the discussion as the comments went over 500. Weekly OT for such shows would be great appreciated.
Hey @kimbapnoona. I never actually asked you if it was ok for me to email this off to DB. Would you be ok with me doing that? Also, would you be ok with sending them an email with this as well? Just incase they miss either one and for the additional support.
You’re welcome. ๐ Thanks for following up with @greenfields and me.
Also, I’m not going to put the petition in email form. I’m going to provide them with a link for it. I’ll do a small writeup in the email explaining the petition and the need to have this done. And don’t worry about the grammatical mistakes. I make a ton all the time. Plus, it’s not like we’re applying for a job or anything. lol. But yeah, we were able to get 52 signatures! That’s awesome I think!!! Teamwork makes the dream work…hopefully. lol.
This is what I sent. Do you think it was ok? I dunno.
To JavaBeans, Girlfriday, or Whom It May Concern,
Beanie hades here. I am writing this email to formally request your consideration to add spaces for beanies to discuss dramas that are not being recapped on the website. I am sending you this email via your Contact Us page on the dramabeans.com website and I can see that you do not entertain emails asking for recaps or complaints surrounding recaps. While this email can be construed as the latter, please allow me a moment to explain.
On April 8, 2017 beanie Kimbapnoona posted a petition on her wall which asked for the consideration of the creation of spaces to talk about dramas that are not being recapped on DramaBeans. You can find the petition via the following link:
In one weeks time she was able to get 52 signatures supporting the petition. I humbly believe that this is a considerable number supporting the initiative especially considering that many of the beanies who signed are regular active members of the community. Many of us joined the DramaBeans community because we loved having a space where we can read about and actively discuss dramas we love. With the recent decline in recaps on the website, many of us have taken to making our own spaces to discuss dramas. The fantastic website redesign made this much easier to do. As you may be well aware, such has been the case for dramas like “Just Between Lovers,โ โSomething in the Rain,โ and the new beanie favourite โA Poem A Day.โ The problems with these spaces are as follows: not many beanies are aware of these discussionsโespecially new beaniesโso you donโt get as much participation as you could; the discussions tend to become difficult to follow as more posts are made; and the bleeding of different episode posts tends to be frustrating especially if you want to avoid spoilers. Having said that, the success of non-recapped beanie led discussions evident in the โJust Between Loversโ and โA Poem A Dayโ threads show that we donโt need to have a Recap or Minion Led Open Thread for every drama.
While it would be nice to have Recaps and Minion Led Open Threads for every drama, we know that it would be impossible at this stage. In an effort to reach you halfway and to keep the DramaBeans community a healthy and active one, I believe that it would help tremendously if you could create sections on each Dramaโs page with the episodes listed and each episode have itโs own Beanie Led Open Thread. That is to say, you can list out all the episodes and when you click on an episode it takes you to a Beanie Led Open Thread in a similar way it would a Recap or the Minion Led Open Thread. The format could be as simple as the long running Friday Weekly Open Thread’s. Iโm sure it would help tremendously on your end with moderation as discussions would be centralized.
DramaBeanโs commitment to the community as evidenced by the website redesign, continued Recaps, News, and Monthly Theme Posts is clear. We also know that there are daily issues you face with the website. As such some of us beanies opted to forgo bombarding and inundating you with emails on the matter and instead send you the petition via email from Kimbapnoona and myself. As such, I do hope that you will read Kimpabnoonaโs petition post and the comments thereinโif you havenโt done so already. I would sincerely appreciate your acknowledged receipt of this email and some feedback as to whether or not this petition is something you would consider. We hope to hear from you soon.
@hades it is very well-written and to the point. I cannot say it better myself! Thank you for protecting the Beanies habitat. I firmly believe this will help the site thrive despite the recent technical struggles.
