1. What is your favorite feature of The Oracle? - the astrology info - the encyclopedia - the gemology info - the image galleries (especially themed ones)
2. What is your least favorite feature of The Oracle OR what is one thing you don't like about The Oracle? - While I appreciate the episode downloads, I feel too much time is focused on them and not on other updates
3. What areas would like me to expand (more info, more manga images, more... etc.) - more images in general - more theme galleries
4. How useful do you find The Oracle to be when it comes to meeting your Sailor Moon needs? -I find the Oracle super helpful. I come to the Oracle first and foremost for anything SM-related.
5. What other Sailor Moon websites do you find useful? * Currently * - mangastyle.net - sailorenergy.net - sailormusic.net - sailorvgame.org - serapii-kissu.net - toweroftime.com * Once upon a time* - sailormoonfanart.com - ternalsailormoon.org
6. What do you think I should do to make The Oracle more appealing to other Sailor Moon fans? - more Did you Notices - more encyclopedia entries (you could people to help write them) - more site themes - more theme galleries - that toolbar, maybe (maybe you could make a Firefox app)
7. Do you have any other comments or suggestions? (Say whatever you want here!) The Oracle rules!

I almost had this completed, and was about to post this, when the internet stopped working. Stupid thing. 1. What is your favorite feature of The Oracle?The forum is really cool, but I'm quite fond of the tons of information, especially the "Around the World" stuff. 2. What is your least favorite feature of The Oracle OR what is one thing you don't like about The Oracle?I don't like how messy the galleries look. It is possible to crop thumbnails for images at the same size, yet still make most of the image recognizable so people know what they get. For some reason, people think that "cropped tumbnails" means "obscure details". But it doesn't and it really helps make galleries look nice, and you can always put up a message about the fact that they've been cropped. 3. What areas would like me to expand (more info, more manga images, more... etc.)I would be quite interested in seeing more PGSM-related images. There's a definite lack in that department. I'd also like to see more outfit information, being the costume nut I am XD 4. How useful do you find The Oracle to be when it comes to meeting your Sailor Moon needs?I go here first or everything, and am almost never disappointed! 5. What other Sailor Moon websites do you find useful?Kirari-PGSM.net for PGSM stuff, SailorMusic.net for music, MangaStyle.net for manga images, and The Sailor Moon Pocky Box for stf to watch out for on the Sailor Moon web. 6. What do you think I should do to make The Oracle more appealing to other Sailor Moon fans?I had trouble finding general overviews of the PGSM and Sera Myu series-I knew nothing about either of them when I first found this site, and I couldn't find any "General information". Actually, I think I found it eventually, but sometimes the site gets a little confusing to navigate. 7. Do you have any other comments or suggestions? (Say whatever you want here!)Beyond the suggestions I have already posed, I would say to keep up the onderful work as best as possible! With just a few fixes an things, you could easily have the very best site on the web for anything Sailor Moon. (Not that this isn't my favorite haunt already; I just find it lacking in a few things.)

wow, thanks so much for all the responses, guys! It has been really helpful to find out what people are looking for. I have been compiling a "to-do" list of all the things mentioned here (and some not mentioned here...), and I wanted to post it so you guys could get an idea of what I'll be working on!
POSSIBLE CHANGES: - larger/non-fixed font. I had some reason for doing this in the past, although I can't remember it now. It was a pretty compelling reason, though, so I'll have to try to remember what that was... - I might start taking graphics submissions, although it is kind of a pain in the butt because of all the crediting, and all the people who send in really AWFUL things :x
SECTION EXPANSION: (Things that will definitely be expanded) - Senshi Bios - Sera Myu (General Overview) - PGSM (General Overview) - Around the World - Graphics - Downloads (More Sera Myu, "extras" like commercials) - Mythology, Gemology, etc. - Fashion section (more outfit analyses; these include info about making costumes) - Games (more "very hard" puzzles; maybe add interactive coloring; more quizzes) - Did you notice? (I can only expand it sooo much, though!)
NEW SECTIONS: (Things that will be added in the future) - Parallel Sailor Moon info/images - Trading Cards (Checklist, Pictures. Need to buy cards and scan them first) - Doujinshi (need to buy some and scan them...) // Downloadable scans? - Info about Naoko-sama - Timelines for each continuum
NO CHANGES PLANNED (These things probably won't be changed any time soon) - Major layout change. This site has hundreds of thousands of pages; the last time I made a big layout change it took almost a WEEK... I can't even imagine how long it would take now! - Changes to the gallery structure. Again, this is a time issue. There are so many images that it would take forever, which is why I don't crop them to be equal sizes... it would literally take DAYS. The only major change I would make would be to put them all in tables, but even that would be difficult because some wider images would stretch the cells to far. It's complicated.

By the way, if it would be possible, add some flash games too... they're lighter. And cooler! ok, here's a dumb question: Does Proboards have a feature to hide certain boards from certain members? As in, the mods board? Cuz seeing a board hanging there, and not being able to view it may and will irk some people!

I know, it irks me too! ;D @ Betty Ann It's great that you've taken out suggestions (I see a few of mine in the "will be done" part XD ). If you need help, I'd be more than glad to help you out, especially in the mythology section!

I don't remember Proboards ever having that option.
Ooops, forgot about how large the gallery is :-P
But anyways, I'll anticipate the new changes!

1. What is your favorite feature of The Oracle? image galleries
2. What is your least favorite feature of The Oracle OR what is one thing you don't like about The Oracle? i don't really have a least favorite anything, but i do think that you should update the "where to buy" sections.
3. What areas would like me to expand (more info, more manga images, more... etc.) more anime images for mars, pluto, and pretty much everyone else with less than 50!
4. How useful do you find The Oracle to be when it comes to meeting your Sailor Moon needs? veryy helpful for a quick reference!
5. What other Sailor Moon websites do you find useful? really don't go to any other sites
6. What do you think I should do to make The Oracle more appealing to other Sailor Moon fans? i think it's already pretty appealing.
7. Do you have any other comments or suggestions? (Say whatever you want here!) fabulous!

1. What is your favorite feature of The Oracle? I really like all the information and the pictures on the website. I also like the graphics and games 2. What is your least favorite feature of The Oracle OR what is one thing you don't like about The Oracle? 3. What areas would like me to expand (more info, more manga images, more... etc.) Well I would really like to have more information about a certain topic. Like you say what somethings does and when it comes in the story but I would really like to see what other times something comes in handy if you know what I mean and I really don't understand what I am talking about. I will get back to you with this later. 4. How useful do you find The Oracle to be when it comes to meeting your Sailor Moon needs? It comes in handy but as I said before a little more info. 5. What other Sailor Moon websites do you find useful? I honestly don't know. I don't really keep track of website names. I usally just find what I need a go. 6. What do you think I should do to make The Oracle more appealing to other Sailor Moon fans? I know this board has a fanfic section I would love to see the website has one aswell so we don't have to through all those comments and it is in a much nicer and easier to access format. I think a page about the creator of Sailor Moon will get a lot of fans too. 7. Do you have any other comments or suggestions? (Say whatever you want here!) I think it is a pretty nice website. Of few erros here and there and some incomplete pages but it is a nice website if you want some pictures,info, and graphics. Or if you just want to go there for fun like me.

As for the boards, I'll try, but I don't think you can. Sorry! Bah! Then leave it in plain sight! It's not like we're not trusting you(or planning a mutiny). But look at it this way, we've got 3 members with the irks, cuz of you! Happy?
