Ferrata Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Liber Astartes MMX - A Questionnaire Every so often, I like to run a little survey to make sure this sub-forum of the Bolter and Chainsword is running not just how I would like it, and not just how the Admins would like it, but how you would like it. Previously I have just asked for feedback but this time I wanted to ask specific questions. So, please, if you have the time, complete this Questionnaire. The Guide to DIYing The Guide to DIYing is an on-going project, and to be honest, it has been pretty dead in the water for a while now. New articles have trickled in at times, but I haven't added to it for a while. This section looks at how useful the Guide is. 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? Yes No 2.How often do you read/refer to it? Never Rarely When I need to Frequently You can't get me off it 3.Which section is most important to you? A Guide to DIYing Basic Information Guides to: Astartes Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium Guides to: The Enemy Sources Tools 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? A Guide to DIYing Basic Information Guides to: Astartes Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium Guides to: The Enemy Sources Tools 5.Any other comments? Time Line Similarly to the Guide, the Time Line has never been 100% finished. Whilst it could come under the Guide section, I wanted to talk about it specifically. 6.Have you read the Time Line? Yes No 7.How often do you read/refer to it? Never Rarely When I need to Frequently You can't get me off it 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? Yes No 9.Would you prefer standard links? Yes No 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? The Time Line itself Horus Heresy The Foundings Black Crusades The Age of Apostasy Wars for Armageddon The Hive Fleets The Badab War Medusa V Old Foes New Enemies Other Imperial Events 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? The Time Line itself Horus Heresy The Foundings Black Crusades The Age of Apostasy Wars for Armageddon The Hive Fleets The Badab War Medusa V Old Foes New Enemies Other Imperial Events 12.Any other comments?

Yes No 14.How often do you refer to it? Never Rarely When I need to Frequently You can't get me off it 15.Is the information given sufficient? Yes No 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes No 17.What other information would you like to see? 18.Any other comments? Liber Astartes Liber Astartes is a strange oddity at the Bolter and Chainsword, without a single chapter to hold us together, and the amount of energy required to give good feedback, our member base is often fleeting. I would just like to focus the final section on the sub-forum as a whole. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Horrible Negative Okay Great Fantastic 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? Might as well not posted Some, but nothing I couldn't do myself It helped It was really useful My chapter is almost a co-author 21.How often do you give feedback? Never Monthly Weekly Daily Ouch my fingers (and eyes) 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator?

Codex Grey Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 1. Yes 2. When I need to 3. A guide to DIYing 4. Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium 5. No 6. Yes 7. Frequently 8. No 9. Yes 10. The Time Line itself 11. The foundings 12. No 13. Yes 14. Frequently 15. Yes 16. Yes 17. Maybe a very small description of what each Chapter is all about? 18. Some of the info is wrong (the Artic Lions are descendants of Roubute, not Ferrus for example.) 19. Great 20. It was really helpful 21. Monthly 22. I have no idea ... that's why I don't have your powers Ferrata.

Ace Debonair Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ok, numbered answers it is. 1) Yep. 2) When I need to. 3) Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium/Guides to: Astartes (Although I'd argue the whole thing is a goldmine of info.) 4) Guides to: The Enemy (hopefully this might lead to some chaos forces that aren't World Eaters with different hats :lol: ) 5) Nothing else I can think of, I rate this guide very highly. 6) Yep. 7) Frequently 8) If this is the timeline within the DIY guide, I don't see any red arrows. 9) Impossible to say. :lol: 10) The Foundings - it's shocking how many time-errors are made here both by myself and others. 11) I don'tknow. 12) Nothing else comes to mind. 13) Yep! 14) Rarely. But, I do still use it to see if chapters have made it into the Librarium. 15) Yes, it's enough of a taster to make me want to read the whole article. 16) Yep! 17) Hmm, I don't know. 18) I believe the author of the "White Hand" chapter was named Ecritter, which is missing from the depiction of the chapter. Other than that, it;s good. 19) Great. We here at the Liber rock hard, and we know it. Fashioning razor-sharp excellence from the rough cudgel of nifty ideas is a rewarding experience. 20) My chapter is almost by co-authors, and I say this with pride. All five of them have had siginificant alterations (all improvements) since they began, and I can look back and laugh at my original concepts. Thanks again to anyone who has thought any of my chapters worth a comment! 21) Daily. Sometimes more often, if I have a great idea whilst working/sleeping/fighting bandits/whatever. 22) I don't know, really. If there's a way to improve this place, it hasn't occured to me. Hope this helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2264941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Guide to DIYing 1- Yes 2- When I need to, generally to check dates and things before I move into detailing a Chapter. 3- A Guide to DIYing, if I had to pick. I like them all. 4- Guide to: Astartes. I do have a recruitment article hanging around somewhere. 5- It is a great resource for new posters in the Liber, and I've lost count of the amount of times it's been suggested someone look at it. Heck, I still use it and I've been DIYing for a few years now. Time Line 6- Yes 7- When I need to, which is generally more frequently than the Guide. 8,9- Yes I prefer the snap backs. It looks better on a page to. 10- The Foundings 11- The Hours Heresy. Liber Honouros Index 13- Yes 14- Occassionally 15- Yes 16- Yes 17- The summaries are enough 18- It needs updating :lol: Liber Astartes 19- Great/Fantastic. 20- 'It was really useful' 21- I try and do daily, but recently I'd say weekly. 22- Power corrupts, I should never be let near power :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2264944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found it to be one of the most solid sites out there for all things Power Armor. The only thing I would work on is better linking all the disparate parts of the Imperium as they relate to the Astartes. Linking the worlds of BFG, Aeronautica, etc. to allow more fluid interface for writing our DIYs.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The Guide to DIYing is an on-going project, and to be honest, it has been pretty dead in the water for a while now. New articles have trickled in at times, but I haven't added to it for a while. I intend to do something about that. ;) 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? Yup, very useful it was too. 2.How often do you read/refer to it? Frequently, mostly to check if something's in there or not. Why post a lengthy explanation when you can just point someone to the right section of the Guide? 3.Which section is most important to you? Astartes and the Imperium, with Astartes coming in a close second. They're the places that generally need improving in DIY Chapters. 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? Whatever can be done, as long as it's of a good a quality as what's already in there. 6.Have you read the Time Line? Yes. 7.How often do you read/refer to it? Much less than the Guide - usually I can remember the approximate date of Imperial events. 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? There are snapbacks? :tu: 9.Would you prefer standard links? Having looked at it, the snapbacks certainly seem to make the article tidier. You can see that they're there, which is going to be useful for any new person, as opposed to playing "Hunt the Link" in the coloured text. 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? I couldn't pick one if I had to. 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? All of them, if it can be done. The 40k universe is far from a complete picture. 13.Have you used the Honouros? Not really. 14.How often do you refer to it? Never, if I'm honest. I've only had a glance once or twice when I had a hunch that a name was taken. 15.Is the information given sufficient? Yes. 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes. 17.What other information would you like to see? In the Honouros? Nothing, if I'm honest. Conciseness is a virtue. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Varies from one extreme to another (although that's mostly dependent on whether I've had a good day or not :)). I've never really seen any sort of trolling or flaming here though. 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? Excellent, helpful but critical where appropriate. 21.How often do you give feedback? It ranges between daily and weekly. 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I'm not sure. There always some ideas for improvement, but I can't think of anything that actually needs fixing.

Octavulg Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Guide to DIYingThe Guide to DIYing is an on-going project, and to be honest, it has been pretty dead in the water for a while now. New articles have trickled in at times, but I haven't added to it for a while. This section looks at how useful the Guide is. How exciting! 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? Yes. Some bits more than others, but all of it at least once. 2.How often do you read/refer to it? Depends. What I generally refer to are the more factual bits - the planet classes, founding dates, etc. The rest of it I will occasionally refer others to, but I seldom seek it out myself. 3.Which section is most important to you? Tools, but that's mostly because finding the damned BBCode 101 article without this is a pain. Otherwise...likely Basic Information. 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? The Enemy seems to need it most, though I'm unsure how much reference would be made to it. It would be very nice if Dazzo could be talked into doing a guide on how he does those cool shoulder emblems, but that'd involve him coming back to the forum. ;) 5.Any other comments? 6.Have you read the Time Line? I don't remember, so likely not. I probably should, mind you. *Goes and pokes at it* Ah, I don't read it because navigation of it feels more than a little finicky. I use the component articles, but not the timeline itself (if you follow). Also, the colored text makes my eyes hurt. 7.How often do you read/refer to it? See above. 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? I'm not sure they make a difference, honestly. The timeline as a whole isn't that big. 9.Would you prefer standard links? I actually think it would be better off as a series of Librarium articles rather than forum posts. That might let it be a bit more organized. Alternately, it might be better off just being merged into the main thread as a section on "notable events". It'd be easier to find them, and at the moment it's not comprehensive enough to be an entirely effective timeline. The content's good, it's just not very timeliney. 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? The Foundings. Followed closely by the Black Crusades. 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? None in particular. 12.Any other comments? Again, I think there'd be merit to folding the Timeline into the DIY Guide. 13.Have you used the Honouros? Can't say I have, honestly. I'm glad it exists, and it's neat to look at, but I know where we keep the DIY IAs in the Librarium. ;) That said, it's much nicer looking than the Librarium and easier to use when you want to find IAs and not end up with various articles related to IAs but not actually IAs themselves. 14.How often do you refer to it? I basically haven't. 15.Is the information given sufficient? Most certainly not. My Chapter isn't in it. :) 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes. Also, once you've asked this question, people can only answer yes...:P 17.What other information would you like to see? Nothing in particular. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Mercurial. Sometimes it's full of illiterates with terrible ideas, sometimes there are more good ideas in a day than there have been in the previous year, and sometimes it's dead. The people vary just as wildly (not individually, just on who's here at any one time). :P I mean, it's nice, and I enjoy coming here. It's just sometimes...unpredictable. 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? Somewhere between really useful and co-author. 21.How often do you give feedback? Nothing, then vast bursts. Then back to nothing. Repeat. 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I dunno. It seems to be working pretty well right now.

Asrech Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 1. Yes 2. Frequently 3. Basic Information/Guides to: Astartes 4. Basic Information 5. Other than what an amazing thing it is? Hmm... Provide me with a secretary to writte my fluff? 6. Yes 7. Frequently 8. Yes 9. No 10. I couldn't pick a single one to save my life, they're all important. 11. The Foundings 12.Any other comments? Locations and maps more detailing where the known chapters reside, focusing on it so that one doesn't have to search through every planet on the map to find a "marine home world". ( if there is already such a thing, just bolter me ) 13.Have you used the Honouros? Yes 14. When I need to 15. Yes 16.Yes 17. Not sure ( I need to read through it a lot more to be able to answer that one my friend ) 18. Great job? :P Liber Astartes 19. Great ( a little more activity and it would be fantastic ;) ) 20.It was really useful 21. Daily ( Scratch my back and I scratch yours! ) 22. Make myself supreme Em*cough* I mean... Some more events such as the "challenge within a challenge" in the Golden Bolter, meaning the different "orders" against each other in a playfull maner to knit together groups. This more so for Liber that after all doesn't have the "glue" of being the same chapter. Nothing to competetive since we don't want full scale war and animosity between the sub forums. But for example more painting events or a way of keeping "gaming scores". That once a month each sub chapter submits scores for how many times they have won/draw/lost against the others, resulting in "monthly champions". After month 1 I submit my tally, I faced SW - L, DA - W, BA - D/W, CSM - W/W. So 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, meaning + 4 +/- 0 - 1 = 3 points for Liber from me. Each group only keeps track of itself, since it would be too much communcation between each I think otherwise. All results to be submitted say the 4th last day - 2nd last day of each month, and the monthly champions being anounced the last day. First day of the new month the challenge starts anew. This would require a bit of work though, both from gamers to be accurate and on time with their reports, and from admins to tally the score of each group. Just a sugestion :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2265369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysimachus Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 1. Yes 2. When I need to 3. It varies each time I use it! 4. Guides to: The Enemy, only got ‘nids so far. 5. Not really! 6. Yes 7. Rarely/When I need to 8. Yes 9. Either way would work 10. Probably the more recent stuff, ‘nids, tau, etc, as there is a more limited time frame and a need to be more accurate. 11. Old Foes 12. No 13. Yes 14. Rarely 15. Yes 16. Yes 17. The info for each Chapter seems to vary; perhaps it could be more regulated? EDIT: scratch that, it's fine, don't know why I thought it wasn't! 18. No 19. Anywhere between Horrible-Fantastic, depends who's around. Mostly it's great though! 20. All my chapters are almost co-authored! 21. It varies a lot, I’d guess on average it’s weekly 22. Honestly, I think the Liber is one of the best forums on the board, can’t really think of anything that needs changing.

Sigismund Himself Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 1. Yes. 2. When I need to doublecheck facts or direct people to it. So occasionally. 3. Can't really pick a particular section, just the overall resource. 4. Probably The Enemy is the section that needs the most expansion. 5. 6. Yes 7. When I need to 8. Yes. 9. No. 10. Probably the Foundings, Black Crusades and Tyranids 11. New Enemies. 13. Yes. 14.Rarely, it's easier for me to directly access the chapters via the Librarium. 15. Yes. 16.Yes :) 17. I think it's fine. 19. Good. At times, the feedback could be worded better and more friendly. 20. Very useful. 21. As with Octavulg, I tend to do it in bursts unless a chapter really catches my eye (for whatever reason) or I have to go nitpicking on a Librarium submission. 22. There's not much more that I can think of to help draw the community together or improve the work being done by Sev and Ferrata, but I'll try and finally get my Guidelines to Feedback and Receiving It up in the stickies...

Brother Cambrius Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? With the amount of times I make chapters yes. 2.How often do you read/refer to it? When I need to most of the time for references etc. to ensure that I've not made a big booboo like I've done in the past...:blush: 3.Which section is most important to you? If anything I'd say the entire DIY Chapter Guide 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? As tyrak said, whatever can be added. 6.Have you read the Time Line? Yep. 7.How often do you read/refer to it? Not very frequently. mostly to check I'm keeping within the canon timelines. 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? Snapbacks? :devil: I know not of these oh wise Ferrata. 9.Would you prefer standard links? Well after using these Snapbacks I'd say keep it as it is. 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? Can't choose, far too much choice of great knowledge. 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? Any or all. 13.Have you used the Honouros? A few times yeah 14.How often do you refer to it? Not very often to be honest. ;) 15.Is the information given sufficient? Yes. 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes. 17.What other information would you like to see? Not much really, works well enough as it is. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? One of the best around. People always helpful and can politely point out things where you messed up rather than start a scream fest. 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? Top notch and helpful 98% of the time. 21.How often do you give feedback? More in spurs of the moment really, something grabs my attention and I want to comment my fingers do the rest. ;) 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator?

Angelfire Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Liber Astartes MMX - A Questionnaire The Guide to DIYing 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? Yes 2.How often do you read/refer to it? You can't get me off it. 3.Which section is most important to you? 1: A Guide to DIYing 2: Basic Information 3: Guides to: Astartes 4: Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium Guides to: The Enemy, Sources, and Tools could use with more material (which I would offer to help on) but are currently... meh. 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? A Guide to DIYing, Basic Information, Guides to: Astartes, and Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium are really the most useful. Sources and Tools feel very lacking in content. There may not be a lot more necessary information to add though. 5.Any other comments? I love the guide. Time Line 6.Have you read the Time Line? Yes 7.How often do you read/refer to it? Frequently 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? I don't use them personally, but I can see how others will find them useful. 9.Would you prefer standard links? Don't care. 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? The Time Line itself Is an easily referenced database, and thus is of benefit to both DIYers and any forum readers. 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? The Time Line itself More events on the time line! =) 12.Any other comments? I think a brief guide should be included on the date system. I know it's in the 40k 5th ed book but I haven't referenced that in ages. Liber Honouros Index 13.Have you used the Honouros? Yes 14.How often do you refer to it? Rarely 15.Is the information given sufficient? Yes 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes 17.What other information would you like to see? Don't reference it enough to have any opinions about it. It's kinda overwhelming to see dozens of IAs and have nowhere to start. 18.Any other comments? Liber Astartes 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Okay 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? It helped 21.How often do you give feedback? Weekly 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I think there needs to be further divisions in place. It's quite a mess to slog through a mix of IAs, guides, IA WIPs, completed IAs, etc. Many contributers write great articles but after they fall of the first page it becomes hard to locate it. A link the sticky topics would be nice if the moderators see a very useful guide. -Angelfire Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2266434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Guide to DIYing The Guide to DIYing is an on-going project, and to be honest, it has been pretty dead in the water for a while now. New articles have trickled in at times, but I haven't added to it for a while. This section looks at how useful the Guide is. 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? •Yes 2.How often do you read/refer to it? •Frequently 3.Which section is most important to you? •A Guide to DIYing 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? •Guides to: The Enemy 5.Any other comments? Nope, not really. Time Line Similarly to the Guide, the Time Line has never been 100% finished. Whilst it could come under the Guide section, I wanted to talk about it specifically. 6.Have you read the Time Line? •Yes 7.How often do you read/refer to it? •When I need to 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? •Yes 9.Would you prefer standard links? •No 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? •The Time Line itself 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? Anything, really. 12.Any other comments? See Above. Liber Honouros Index The Liber Honouros Index is our great link to the Librarium. I like to think I keep it fairly up-to-date (I do realise two more need to be added). 13.Have you used the Honouros? •Yes 14.How often do you refer to it? •Frequently 15.Is the information given sufficient? •Yes 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? •Yes 17.What other information would you like to see? Perhaps more of an explination in the Liber Honourous of what it actually is. I didn't realise it was a link for those whom had ascended to acceptance in the Librarium. 18.Any other comments? Liber Astartes Liber Astartes is a strange oddity at the Bolter and Chainsword, without a single chapter to hold us together, and the amount of energy required to give good feedback, our member base is often fleeting. I would just like to focus the final section on the sub-forum as a whole. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? •Okay 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? •Some, but nothing I couldn't do myself 21.How often do you give feedback? Not as often as I should. At the moment only when I see a Chapter that really catches my eye. Fairly poor, I know. 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I don't really know. Nothing I can think of off the top of my head, other then perhaps some kind of comment exchange system, but I suppose thats up to us Liberites, isn't it. Oh and some kind of challenge involving a grumpy old B&C veteran and a gauntlet... Oh wait... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2266446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Insanity Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? Yes 2.How often do you read/refer to it? When I need to 3.Which section is most important to you? Guides to: Astartes and the Imperium 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? Guides to: Astartes 5.Any other comments? Not really. I just really enjoy reading it. Though possibly would like more on the homeworlds. Time Line Similarly to the Guide, the Time Line has never been 100% finished. Whilst it could come under the Guide section, I wanted to talk about it specifically. 6.Have you read the Time Line? Yes 7.How often do you read/refer to it? When I need to 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? Yes 9.Would you prefer standard links? No 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? The Time Line itself The Foundings Black Crusades Other Imperial Events 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? The Time Line itself Black Crusades The Age of Apostasy Wars for Armageddon The Hive Fleets The Badab War Other Imperial Events 12.Any other comments? I find the timeline rather helpful. Helps me figure out where to slip my chapters' foundings. Liber Honouros Index The Liber Honouros Index is our great link to the Librarium. I like to think I keep it fairly up-to-date (I do realise two more need to be added). 13.Have you used the Honouros? No 14.How often do you refer to it? When I need to 15.Is the information given sufficient? Yes 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes 17.What other information would you like to see? Sadly I don't know. 18.Any other comments? Not much really. Liber Astartes Liber Astartes is a strange oddity at the Bolter and Chainsword, without a single chapter to hold us together, and the amount of energy required to give good feedback, our member base is often fleeting. I would just like to focus the final section on the sub-forum as a whole. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Okay 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? It helped 21.How often do you give feedback? I give feedback whenever I can. So none of the choices that were put here. 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I really don't know. I can't see myself as a modder, but maybe keep an eye on the posts. Make sure the feedback people give is good and nice, nothing under ten words as that's not critique. Plus it wouldn't be mean and cruel, but helpful and all that. Not really sure. Heh.

Solomon de Gravier Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yes. When I need too. Sources. I can't get enough of those maps. Guides to: The Enemy No other comments. Ye...N...Ye...Not all of it? Rarely. What snapbacks? ^see above^ Never read em' ^see above^ No other comments. Never read it. ^see above^ ^see above^ ^see above^ ^see above^ ^see above^ Fantasique. It was really useful. Daily. If I were a moderator then I would not stoop as low as to answer crude questionaires such as this. I would be the greatest, the most powerful, I would be...Wow! You woke me up. I can't think of what I would do as moderator at the moment. The power would be so great. *Goes off to shower in sewer water and live in the garbage heap* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2267058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 1. Yes 2. Frequently 3. Guide to: Astartes / tools 4. Astartes and Imperium 5. Not really, I find it very useful as it is, although i suppose it could always get bigger, although that risks alienating new readins who need to wade through it all to find what they want 6. Yes 7. When I need to 8. Yes 9. No its fine 10. Time line itself 11. Time line itself (to make it super) 12. N.a 13. Yes 14. Rarely 15. Yes 16. yes 17. not sure 18. n.a 19. great! 20. My chapter is almost a co-author 21. Daily (when i don't have law deadlines) 22. something requiring the reading of the basic diy rules before posting, as nice as it is reading a new IA when its about secret second founding marines who are actually the lost legion and amazing yet no one has heard of them begins to wear after a while Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2267861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thankyou for the time you taken to complete this. I will be using the results in the future to guide Liber to its next steps in world domination.

StratoKhan Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 1. Have you read the DIY Guide? Yes 2. How often do you read/refer to it? When I need to. 3. Which section is most important to you? I do not have a favoured section. 4. Which section would you focus on expanding? Guides to: The Enemy 5. Any other comments? Not for now. 6. Have you read the Time Line? Yes 7. How often do you read/refer to it? Frequently 8. Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? Snapbacks? 9. Would you prefer standard links? Never noticed those snapbacks until I did the questionnaire, would you believe. Don't know if that implies links are better. Now that I've found them they're easy to use. 10. Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? The Time Line itself. 11. Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? Other Imperial Events. 12. Any other comments? The colours used on the timeline are not always vision-friendly. 13. Have you used the Honouros? Yes 14. How often do you refer to it? When I need to. 15. Is the information given sufficient? Yes 16. Do you realise the images are links to the articles? Yes 17. What other information would you like to see? It is sufficient information. 18. Any other comments? Not for now. 19. How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? Unlike any other here at the BnC. It is frustrating and rewarding in equal parts. What is always constant is its undeniable charm. I always come back to it 20. How would you rate the feedback you have received? It helped, but I was hoping for more. Better luck next time maybe. 21. How often do you give feedback? Monthly bursts of activity. 22. How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I'll get back to you on that. Seems ok for now. I was naughty and didn't always use the answers provided. Hope it helps. It's a bit late so not as good as I can make it.

Octavulg Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The snapbacks pop up on quotes, too, allowing you to pop to the post being quoted. It's neat.

Octavulg Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Well, I'm in the same boat as you, since I only noticed them once Ferrata mentioned the little arrows' existence in the first place. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190979-liber-questionnaire/#findComment-2271626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 1.Have you read the DIY Guide? •Yes Repeatedly. It's a GREAT resource for us newer chapter makers. As a matter of fact, I've copied it and stripped the bb-code formatting out of it and saved it into a word document so I can write on my lap top when I go out and have time to kill. 2.How often do you read/refer to it? •Frequently •You can't get me off it Hard pressed to decide which answer to pick. I normally have the page opened on the side while I'm typing away so I can constantly look at it. 3.Which section is most important to you? •A Guide to DIYing I'd have to say this at the moment. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on as time permits, but it's the most constantly accessed resource for me at the moment. 4.Which section would you focus on expanding? I don't really know as of this moment. I haven't been involved in the hobby long enough to know where there are actual lacks of knowledge vs my own personal lack. 5.Any other comments? Nothing jumps to mind at the moment really. Time Line Similarly to the Guide, the Time Line has never been 100% finished. Whilst it could come under the Guide section, I wanted to talk about it specifically. 6.Have you read the Time Line? •Yes, even though it seems vague, it was still immensely helpful. 7.How often do you read/refer to it? •When I need to 8.Do you like the Snapbacks (red arrows)? I haven't used them yet, so I can't say honestly. 9.Would you prefer standard links? No opinion, I adapt to how things are laid out. 10.Which of the articles is the most valuable to you? •The Time Line itself •Horus Heresy •The Foundings 11.Which of the articles would you like finishing/expanding? •The Time Line itself •Horus Heresy •The Foundings •Black Crusades •The Age of Apostasy •Wars for Armageddon •The Hive Fleets •The Badab War •Medusa V •Old Foes •New Enemies •Other Imperial Events I'll be greedy and say all of them. <_< Someday, possibly if I feel I have learned enough to feel comfortable, I may even help write things about the topics at hand as well. 12.Any other comments? Again, nothing comes to mind. Liber Honouros Index The Liber Honouros Index is our great link to the Librarium. I like to think I keep it fairly up-to-date (I do realise two more need to be added). 13.Have you used the Honouros? •No as my answer won't get me into trouble right? (No, I haven't) 14.How often do you refer to it? •Never 15.Is the information given sufficient? Can't honestly answer this. 16.Do you realise the images are links to the articles? •No, but I will when I look for the 1st time. 17.What other information would you like to see? no idea yet. 18.Any other comments? Nothing as of yet. Liber Astartes Liber Astartes is a strange oddity at the Bolter and Chainsword, without a single chapter to hold us together, and the amount of energy required to give good feedback, our member base is often fleeting. I would just like to focus the final section on the sub-forum as a whole. 19.How do you find the atmosphere in Liber? •Okay •Great I've seen some posts where the advice was completely awesome and some where it left me feeling like the explanation could have been more detailed in reply, or through a thread in some posts. 20.How would you rate the feedback you have received? •It was really useful I've gotten some awesome feedback and aid personally on my DIY chapter though. 21.How often do you give feedback? at the moment, rarely. I hope to be able to become an asset to the community in the future though. 22.How would you improve Liber if you were given the almighty powers of Ferrata....I mean of a Moderator? I'm not good at wielding power... so, I'd probably politely decline on having said powers.
