    Lightbulb cK Community Feedback Forum

    cK Community Feedback Forum

    Over the past years the staff of cK have come up with a multitude of engaging events for the community; and we want to continue to do so! cK has become more than just a Neopets based community; and we have seen new branches of the community grow and diversify. We want to nurture this growth and have a diverse, inclusive and engaging community!

    We want to hear from the cK community to see what you want to see more of in regards to site events or forum topics; or even what you would like to see less of. We want to know what is making the community tick!

    Want to host your own event, forum game or engaging topic but just don't know how to go about it; or don't feel ready to take on hosting an event on your own? This is where our cK Coordinators can help and guide you through the process or even take your idea and make it come to life on the forum!

    We have an amazingly creative community and don't want to overlook this potentially untapped resource. This thread has been created as a safe place to put your creative ideas and suggestions out there for the team and community to see. Let's get those creative juices flowing! Who knows...your idea may be the next big event or hot topic!

    We do kindly ask that this place stay positive, and that suggestions and feedback on current/past site related items and even newly suggested ideas by the community are kept constructive.

    Of the events I've participated in, I've really enjoyed when we did the National Novel Writing Month. There was some discussion on potentially making a writing club or something more consistent and I would love to see it. Maybe something like writing club sprints? For X amount of months or weeks, everyone participating tries to hit a word count quota. If you meet different thresholds you unlock new versions of a themed userbar kind of the way we have a Pokemon userbar tied to post count.

    The art events, so much fun. I've participated in a couple in the past but my biggest critical feedback - I think most, if not all, of the art events I've seen since joining have taken place around the winter holidays. It'd be nice to have timing spread a bit with some art stuff taking place in the summer as well.

    My single favorite event we did was the Ryu scene contest. It was so much fun. I'd love a redux of that, maybe one where instead of scenes, users submit their own Ryus and evolutions paths. It'd be fun to do a contest where the admins pick their favorite to implement and the forum chooses a second based on popular vote.

    Thanks you so much @(you need an account to see links) for your feedback! I know we try to space out events as much a possible but always want to catch users when they will likely have some spare time (ie Christmas). This is something for sure we want to consider ������. I really like your Writing Club and Ryu suggestions as well! These are great ideas we can put on our list to discuss. If there are any of these you would like to take a lead on please don't hesitate to contact us!

    dude, i would LOVE a contest for designing your own ryu evolution path! we have that kind of event for pokemon, so why not our ryus?

    i was also thinking it could be a cool idea to have multiple potential evolution branches for each ryu "starter" - like drakes could end up as the already-made western dragons or an eastern dragon or even something closer to a big fancy wyrm. the cats could end up as the manticore or something like a sphinx? just throwing ideas out there! i think an element of surprise for each branch would be super fun and could also be turned into some sort of contest.

    I also second another ryu scene contest! For a variety of reasons I missed the first one, so another chance to design something would be amazing. Now that the release rate is a bit higher, I'd love to see another 5-8 in the general pot. Maybe paints, too?

    I would also like to see another smiley competition! There's quite a few I'd like to see added.

    I'm not sure if this idea would fall under coordinator, or something else, but a userbar to celebrate years on CK like shields on Neopets could be cool? Or a choice of one of the Pokemon userbars if we log in during our anniversary week. I think I like the latter idea a little better, but both could be really fun!

    Seconding the writing idea. I've been wanting to churn out about 200 words a day and writing with clraik could be the boost I need to actually do it!

    Thirding writing club, god knows I need the kick in the ass!

    Maybe generically some more events with a Neopets centric theme? Like our own ck games master challenge/better than you (beat the mods score etc.) I know a lot of us still have access to playing flash games (and obviously no cheating or enhancements allowed, scout's honor ). Hell even a ck Neopets caption contest would be fucking HILARIOUS and pretty low effort to run, I feel.

    Perhaps I'm bias because I love to bake.

    But perhaps we could do a monthly bake?
    You have a whole month to complete a certain task?
    Or just more baking stuff x)

    I might even be interested in hosting baking events. Maybe Quarterly? Idk I guess it depends how many people like baking...

    Absolutely love the ideas of doing another ryu-related contest or emoji contest (I missed both of those!).

    The idea of a CK Caption Contest is also super fun. Someone could do terrible photoshops with popular avatars pasted on top of the faces and we could all take turns trying to be funny.

    Might be fun to do some personality-based userbars. Like userbars for each astrological sign? Or like HP houses or something?

    Thanks so much for this thread!

    On the topic of bringing old events back, would it be possible to repeat the 2020 Summer Art Challenge? The Live Colorfully userbar is one of the most popular userbars/permission groups - that pastel gradient is sooo pretty! I would love another chance to earn this one and I know others would too.

    I've heard mention of @(you need an account to see links)'s idea of an amateur coding event or hackathon and I love this. If you guys hosted this real, I would take off work to participate.

    To add on to Columbidae's suggestion, maybe an event that involves baking AND cooking?

    In general, I think everyone prefers to know the requirements for an event userbar upfront. For the Halloween Festival of Frights, some people got disappointed because they didn't know they had to participate in 3 out of 4 events to get the Boo! userbar. It's fun to solve the mystery of how to obtain a userbar together as a community, but events where you have create things are different. This is the only minor criticism I can think of, I really enjoyed the past events and am excited to see the future events.
