Hi everyone,
It has been nearly an year that Indian Horror Tales (IHT) has been online serving Indian spooky tales and encounters all across the globe - it was a fun journey, we got to learn a lot, and with all the pats and scolds - the journey was really worth it. But now, with all the responses coming across, we have decided to move on to set a concrete destination for Indian supernatural stories, encounters & research. And yes, we cannot do it alone - we will need you by our side, all through along.
Given below are the proposed features of this website. We really hope you can add your comments and suggestions in order to make this portal worthwhile of being a small identity of the mystical alter-ego of India.
This website is proposed to contain:
1. Login / Registration through the website's own user registration system or through social portals like Facebook, Google, etc.
2. A standardized set of rules for submission and moderation of user-submitted content related to paranormal encounters or legends. (This can help fight the current disagreements between what-can-be and what-cannot-be). This set of standards will also take references from existing global websites focusing on paranormal encounters & research.
3. Various levels of access control for users like authors, moderators, administrators, etc. who will have different levels of control over the publishing and moderation of content received.
4. Image & Video Galleries where users can submit images and videos of supernatural phenomena they have experienced.
5. Events: We have proposed to set up an individual events section. Imagine having a small get-together of us IHTians for a simple story-telling hangout around a campfire... or maybe a virtual story-telling conference! Going ahead, many of the emails have even recommended that we conduct amateur ghost-hunting expeditions (that are totally safe) that revolve in and around our famous spooky destinations.
6. Social Media Sharing through Facebook & Google Connect.
7. Comments & Ratings for individual articles with more control over the language (read: swearing) of the articles.
8. Shoutbox for sharing our quotes & latest happenings.
9. Mobile website for those who access our website through their mobile phones.
People, we really need to get this website through as soon as possible, which is why we solicit your precious feedback! You can reply on this post or can send across an email to rohitindia76@gmail.com to send your feedback. Please try and be polite enough so that we can understand the gist of your feedback.
Thank you,
Rohit.

Sounds interesting.... I recommend when you finish building your website, please please post the website's url on this forum so that the regular users of the forum (like me) come to know about it when it's done.... Thanx..
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks a lot Aroop. Actually, what we are planning is that the domain indianhorrortales.com will directly go to the new website and this blog will remain a part of the 'Blog' section on the website. Do let me know your feedback.
DeleteWell that's great.. Hope the plans come out to be true soon... If the plans made by you (as mentioned above) then the website is going to become a hit... Hope you make it fast and wishing it a huge success... Thanx.
Delete:)
Thanks a lot Aroop! We, too, are keeping our fingers crossed while the development is in progress. Do let me know if you have any other suggestions or ideas that can help make this portal better.
Deletehow about keeping a section about asking questions and then the admins or the viewers can answer them. For instance; someone may ask: where do daayans dwell? What do they look like? And then viewers can answer them.
ReplyDeleteHey Vandit, thanks a lot for the suggestion. This is a useful addition. But now that you have suggested it, can you help us give it an appropriate name, or category?
DeleteI am glad that you liked my suggestion :)
DeleteWell, here are some suggestions for the section:-
1.) I Can Feel Them Moving
2.) No One Can Understand
3.) I'll Take Your Pain Away/Please Take My Pain Away
4.) Whispered Voices
5.) The Dark World/Unanswered Mysteries
And I have some spooky titles for the section of the real-life incidents, like the ones you post on this blog, too. You can have a section, as you stated in the content of the website, and here are some good titles that you can have:
1.) This Is My Tale
2.) I Saw The Unseen
3.) The Dead, The Unspoken
4.) That Day In My Life
5.) ...spookily ever after
(In this section you can post the content with a common title for all the incidents: "My name is [[Name of the person who submitted the story]] and this is my tale")
Hey Vandit,
DeleteThanks again. These are really great suggestions. Please give me some time to go through them. And yes, we are halfway done with the website architecture - just a couple of days more, until the demo website. It's a simple website with multiple functionality, but I hope we all will like it.
waiting for it desperately! :) I'd be glad if any of my suggested names gets a place in the website! :)
ReplyDeleteI will make sure it does. :)
