*In addition, since it IS called the “Activities” board, it is the most logical place to tackle this issue. While anyone can post things to do there, the expiration dates require that it is done regularly not to mention that using that section of the board can be quite confusing even to someone such as myself. So making something as “blonde” as possible is our best bet to make it thee place to go if you are looking for something to do. Any new public spaces, theater activities, announcements, or what have you along with additions or deletions of regular posts could be accomplished during the weekly updates. It is a sorely under used resource that has a lot of potential to enhance the Home experience for old and new users alike.

Anyhoo, just a thought… Anyone else have any ideas?

We also have the option of using groups on home dedicated to enhancing everyone’s enjoyment by helping others. This includes the HCV’s, Welcome2Home along with the lone mavericks like myself.

The Activity board seems to make the most sense though. It is located in many area’s of Home, so maybe simply adding a “Things To Do” section would help address this issue. It wouldn’t require anyone logging off to use a browser to access a website which keeps our users where the vendors want them. It would also be very simple to use, which would assure none of our folks get frustrated because they aren’t tech savvy. That would also give the helpers on home an excellent tool to use while assisting users. It could be broken up into different subjects like current events, games, social activities etc. Perhaps going a step further and allowing “approved” groups to post regular weekly events such as the HCV’s friday night bowling parties, or maybe Gray Gamers weekly get togethers as well. Of course this might make a little more work for Sony to accept, review, and make determinations about the applicants for this, in the process it might also encourage more helpers groups to come forward.

Any addition of positive influences on Home is welcome in my book, as well as life in general.

When I say I’m bored on HOME it usually means I’m bored with my whole life in general. I consider it to be more like…being “antsy” then being bored. Yes, it’s true, it’s definetly ME and not a thing to do with HOME. LOL And YES, I do need to get a life!! Hahaha…

*ahem*

Absolutely Dlyrius, there’s no reason to be bored in Home except maybe the users indecision. Personally, I spend about 8 hours a day in Home and still don’t have enough time to get other, personal things done.
