Hello and it's that time again to assess the site's direction. My intent is to do a fun promotion on the site to create new thoughts, new members, and idea swapping. So which of these ideas has the most appeal to you? 1. Create an art contest for fans. 2. Promote user submitted articles with with some renumeration ($, etc.). 3. Beef up the Transformers section. 4. Beef up the Gundam section. 5. Work on my database of 'bots.

Work on the database. User submitted articles will be cool too, but the true strength of Robot Japan has got to be the info and pics it has on such a wide range of Japanese bots. Going more in a Gundam or Transformers direction seems like a waste to me, since so many sites exclusively devoted to these toy lines already exist. Being a Transformers fan myself, I'm also part of a TF online community, but come here for everything else. I think we should stick with what we're good at

I agree that the database should be a very high priority. As I was saying earlier, right now I am changing servers. My migration is almost complete and plan on dabbling in SQL soon. For now, though, the Front Page extensions are giving me a hell of a hard time The site seems to be maxing out the capibilities of MS Front Page and I was hoping to limp along for a little more time. Later Dreamweaver is in the works.... -E

I choose 3,4, and 5 , why because this is ROBOT-JAPAN after all ;D ;D ;D
3- due to the Armada comics and new animated series Transformer fans are growing even on new generation of kids they do know now, so building on this would help both G1 fans and the new RID & Armada fans generate more responses from them.
4- Same goes for Gundam, not only does Bandai offer model for gundams there are new slew of toys that even non builders will love to collect, from MSIA, to DX to the new Arch Enemies line, and not to mention another animated series Gundam seed. So building on that should help to.
5- lastly again because this is Robot-Japan lol
