Responses

Please add your responses to the survey below. Be sure to keep your criticisms (if any) constructive and on topics related to the PDb.

1. Do you use or browse PRIMUS Database?

  • 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 Most of the characters I encounter have outdated or are not present on the PDB.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.

5. Are you interested in the Page of the Month activity?

  • No.

6. Do you believe that the Page of the Month (not including the “Theme Month”) is being handled satisfactorily?

  • Don't know.

7. If you think the Page of the Month activity is unsatisfactory, indicate the best reason why you think this.

  • Too much emphasis is placed on page looks rather than page content when I last did check it out. This may have changed.

8. What do you think should be the most important part of the Page of the Month?

  • Showcasing the examples of content that can be found on the PRIMUS Database.

9. As you know, there has been an effort to change the rules of Page of the Month to make it more appealing to the general CO community. What is your impression of the modified rules that were used for Theme Month?

  • I did not actively seek out the rules for Theme Month therefore I cannot comment on them.

10. Other than the modified rules that were tested during the Theme Month, are there any suggestions you would like us to consider? (Keep in mind that the suggestions below are examples based on brainstorming and feedback, and are not indicative of any current plans.)

  • Due to my disinterest in this feature I will not be giving a suggestion for it.

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

4. Sadly no. I believe the page is perfect as is.


5. Are you interested in the Page of the Month activity?

  • No.

6. Do you believe that the Page of the Month (not including the “Theme Month”) is being handled satisfactorily?

  • Yes.

7. If you think the Page of the Month activity is unsatisfactory, indicate the best reason why you think this.

  • It seems like no one makes the effort to find lesser-known pages.

8. What do you think should be the most important part of the Page of the Month?

  • Making sure that a variety of characters and players from across the game community are represented.

9. As you know, there has been an effort to change the rules of Page of the Month to make it more appealing to the general CO community. What is your impression of the modified rules that were used for Theme Month?

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.

10. Other than the modified rules that were tested during the Theme Month, are there any suggestions you would like us to consider? (Keep in mind that the suggestions below are examples based on brainstorming and feedback, and are not indicative of any current plans.)
