| − | *I used to, now I don't.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. If so, how often do you use or browse PRIMUS Database? If not, what reason contributed to this?
| + | |
| − | *Used to visit daily. Many reasons - It's useless as a tool if nobody looks at your profile (which is sadly my case - I know what my character's history and powers are so why would I need to make a page stating as such if not for the benefit of those who'd RP with me). Even with the templates, the pages still look bland and visually unappealing. Most of the characters I encounter have outdated or are not present on the PDB. In short, it lost its usefulness to me a long time ago.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. What is your general impression of PRIMUS Database?
| + | |
| − | *Great idea. Poor execution. Enforces the "popularity contest" portion of RP that often happens in online environments which, let's face it, didn't need enforcing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. Do you have any suggestions that you believe may improve the PRIMUS Database experience?
| + | |
| − | *Not much I'm afraid except maybe improving the Random Page "randomness" - When I was on the PDB daily, I'd often distract myself by clicking random page and the same people always showed up. The goal of that exercise was to discover new characters, so when the same characters always ended up showing up (and with the amount of pages on the PDB I sincerely doubt I viewed even 10% with this method), that greatly diminished my enjoyment of the PDB.

| − | 1. I use it to monitor my page for any mistakes in spelling or adding new content and search from time to time to gain inspiration from other people's characters. (Ex. Atlantis-themed heroes or vigilantes)

| − | 2. I rarely browse the PRIMUS Database, but I contribute mainly to showcase my characters and their stories.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. My impression is that its amazing to have a website where you can showcase how your character evolved over the years and show the feats or accomplishments they received ever since donning their colorful spandex

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I believe "Theme Month" is a perfect addition to Page of the Month and rules that were given. Totally off-topic but, You can have Theme Month one month and the regular Page of the Month another. Its a better way for lesser-known players to get their pages showcased instead of having the same people nominated every month because their pages have amazing art work. "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" I know but some pages are more flooded with art rather then a story. To be honest it gets "boring" to see the same players getting one of their characters nominated every month when there are others out their who have fairly good stories and histories and never get nominated to say the least.

| − | 4. Do you have any suggestions that you believe may improve the PRIMUS Database experience?
| + | |
| − | *I do have two. 1: Random page button. As a person who is curious to see others work, I use the random page button to seek out one to read. Sadly it is not all that random that I get the same page multiple times in a short few clicks. There are how many pages on the PDb and how many times have I had the same page pop up multiple times within a minute of spamming the Random button? 2: Will be discussed below on Page of the Month.

| + | |
| − | *I believe it is a popularity contest more or less. Many a times are the same people being voted over and over and rarely are any new comers are introduced. It seems to be only those who have the best graphics or the longest story that would win every time.

| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | *Making sure that a variety of characters and players from across the game community are represented.
| + | |
| − | (I choose this for the fact there are many pages out there that are yet to be known. I believe as a suggestion to add to #4 above: The admins of the PDb or a selected few higher ups choose a set number of pages and be put up for nominations. Choose between 5 or 10 pages for either a Page of the Month, or a Character of the Month, or Member of the Month, either way so that those who have yet to be noticed, get noticed.

| − | *This is the kind of voting I enjoy. Everyone picks a nominee. No repeats at all so the list can grow large. And let the mods and admins be the judges to determined the winner.

| − | *I would pick all the above to what is suggested to this question as I have been mentioning in the previous questions answered. Just a way to get those noticed among the community. To add: Themed Month is a nice change and the rules make it more appealing to how each contest voting should occur.
