Well since we have both '1st gen' and 2nd gen characters on this board, I came up with this idea.
Why don't we have a sub-board located within the 'Dalmatians' topic, and label the sub board '2nd gen characters'?
And I came up with a few advantages with this... 1. It'd be easier to find the 2nd gen characters from the 1st gen (Lucky and co. as pups) 2. We wouldn't have to go through pages of searching to find 1 character's bio. 3. More organized.
So what do you guys think?

Hehe, That sounds like A, Good idea, Nemo. X3
It'll be a good help to find pups like, Oddball, Domino as well as ones like, Tai, Myles & Anya. X3 As well as the, Adonis one, It is difficult when I have to spell his name right (which I think I have misspelt here. O.O) and look through three pages of names to find him. X3
Still, Nice Idea, Nemo. X3 I say it can, Work. *Hugs* X3

Yeah, or finding any characters in general x.x;
But glad you like the idea ^^ I wonder if Drake will, or any of the mods.

Excellent idea! I approve 100%. Hopefully, we can have Drake install the sub-board.

Meow, meow, meow....meow! *looks* Ah crap, forgot subtitles....one moment while you listen to this waiting musicThank you for waiting patiently. I must say, it would be easier to find them, so when I can, I believe I shall throw in that idea, plan, thing....whatever you want to call it....I should get it up by tonight or tomorrow....something along those lines anyway XD Point I am also trying to make in there is that I do like the idea of it, as the character section does seem to be all cluttered up. Which does bring up a point on my own I would like to share with you lot. How do you lot propose we have said area not as cluttered up sort of thing? As in, more accesable and easier to find said characters that said people have created?

Excellent idea, Drake! The Dalmatians section is veeeery over-cluttered X.X

Thanks a bunch, Drake! As for how to make the dalmatians board not as clutter. I suggest 2 things. 1. Move the threads that say 'A & B's children', any 2nd gen characters, and etc.. to the 2nd gen sub-board. 2. Remove any characters in the dalmatians board posted by inactive users. (By this, I mean people who've deleted their accounts, or haven't come on in quite some time). This is what I do on my Gash Bell forum. For example, we'd remove characters posted by: Twister, monkey, Hybrid Misfit, Tailspin, Fire-Eye Fox, bronxcanine, Aquina, CW, silkiewings, etc.. 3. In addition to removing anything 'unrelated' to dalmatians in the dalmatian topic. Such as polls (ex. sparkydearly.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dalmatians&action=display&thread=2030 ), contests or challenges (ex. sparkydearly.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dalmatians&action=display&thread=2227 ), or stuff that just flat out isn't needed in a topic about characters (ex. sparkydearly.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dalmatians&action=display&thread=2289 ) And I definitely agree about the clutter, I'm sick of going through 10+ pages to find the character bio I need.

Yeah, just trying to figure out a way of making it not so cluttered. I mean, closest thing I can think of is having maybe, a member's subboard or something like that where their characters exist sort of thing....but then that might not help as much with the search function.
So really, not sure on how to deal with the clutter in there other than getting rid of older profiles, well, throw them into the archive section anyway.
So really, any ideas on that part would be much appreciated.

Don't we have enough sub-boards in the Dalmatians section?

You know, I don't think we shouldn't delete, Silkys characters. I mean, They're still being used by, Trey in his fic and even I am considering writing for them in the fics, I am working on (Of course, I need to work out the plot more, so far it's a story of just introducing characters, though, I guess that is what I wanted considering it to be an, Origins type story. o.o).
Possibly, you can try the, Multiple Gens, Different Breed or Creatures in their own, Sub-Board. So say, if we wanted to look up someone like say, Silky, Snapshot, check in the "Other Animals" subsection and look up the other sub-board within that labelled "Felines" It can also be the same for like say, for Avangiline, look up the, Horse Sub-Section.
Or another Sub-Section labeled "Other Canine Breeds" where we can check on some like, Zare, Marcus or possibly, Epsilon (or maybe that can have the, sub section, "Outer Earth Beings" o.O
Those are my, best suggestions. X3 Hope that can help, Drake. X3

And maybe we could have a sub-board for Human Characters as well like Nemo's character Emily Dearly ^^. I mean posting human characters in the Dalmatian section? Since when are human Dalmatians? O.O

To Bab: That would be way too many sub-sections.
To Shadow: A sub board for the human characters (I know a couple others have some) would be a good idea.
To Drake: Yeah, the best thing to do would be removing any polls, contests, etc.. in the dalmatian topic. Along with moving the older profiles into an archive.
To Belchic: 2 sub boards isn't a lot dude, lol..

Whatever option we take I am NOT in favor of deleting entries in that area. Maybe cycle them to an archieve but don't just start deleting those.
"Since when are human Dalmatians?"
Ironically, "Dalmatian" is the proper term to refer to a human from the Dalmatia region of souther Crotia. The dog breed is named after that region and possibly originated there. Now you know...and knowing is half the battle.
