Domain & Directory Changes
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 7:19 pm
Hello everyone!
As you may have already noticed, we've recently made a number of changes to the main domain and directory. The navigation bar has changed--extra information pages have been moved to menus in order for the main community features to be more accessible!
With the increasing size of our directory, we decided it would be more effective and organized to change the way shrines were listed. You'll notice that the directory is a drop-down menu and you can choose various categories--Anime and Manga, Video Games, Animation (which refers to everything besides Japanese animation), Live Action, Paperback and Miscellaneous. Shrines are listed in the category that their subject originated in. So, for example, a shrine to a Pokemon would be listed under Video Games because Pokemon started as a game. The only exception to this standard is if a shrine owner only covers one medium--in which case it'll be listed in that category (such as covering only the movie version of a character that originated in a book). I want to give a special thank you to Masao and the Directory Team--Camy, Robin and Lethe--for making this possible!
Shrine Spotlight categories will also model the directory categories moving forward in order to make it easier to nominate shrines and increase consistency across the community.
Additionally, several pages have been edited or rewritten because some content was out of date and irrelevant. The Community, Guidelines and Volunteer pages have changed. Please be sure to at least read the Guidelines page, as it has information (new and old) applicable to all members written by our Admin Team. Newer members are also encouraged to read the Community page to learn about the history of Amassment and our various features! They have been re-ordered active to least active.
Lastly, the domain has also been cleaned up of typos and inconsistencies. Thank you to Lethe for her hard work on this!
If you have any questions or comments on any of these changes, feel free to reach out to me or the Admin Team!
