Suggestions: what do you want to see here?

[Edman]

So, after being told that some people from the last ownership did a few decisions that most of the community didn't like, I'm out scouting for stuff that could be done to improve the forums.

So, what do you want to see done here? What used to be here that got removed that you really liked?

"What used to be here that got removed that you really liked?"

Oh just little things like freedom of speech...

Draconian censorship and greed characterize the previous owners attitudes pretty well.

[Edman]

Well, I'm not a fan of either myself, I believe that the thriwing point of online communities is freedom of speech, so I think got that covered OK the moment I became the owner.

But on this topic, what can be done to lighten things up a bit?

Well, there used to be an 'Adult' mods forum that had, as the title would suggest, some more adult themed skins in it. A bunch of people were really pissed to see that go. Maybe bring it back?

How about a news layout. I'd be happy to post news and keep it up to date.

A layout similiar to this would work well I think.

^^Ok thats a good idear Gene we'll get right on that one asap!

But seriously that was a community killer when that guy just delete all the modders works like that. We also lost them batch programs that helped us dummys get them reskins into the game and i dont have sharks special bump map no more so yeah im still kinda pissed off and would like to see them posts brought back to the forum even if they need be cleaned up some by removing the pictures at least we can make use of the files and batch installers and have them for our private use.

Freedom of speech - glade thats back cuz i gots lots to say.

Forum styles i mention this in other posts so why not here too. Can we get a dark theme it doesnt have to be a default but something others then gold or brown. You already know i hate these color schemes so wont rant any further.

Oh lets see what else is on my list, can we get a hug machine so when we come to the forums we get big group hugs. I heard that hug machines make the forums more elite.

Adult mod section has been added to discussion in the staff forums.

That is concerning the frontsite... which is a bit of a different thread I'm gonna make now.

OK, I'm all for another style, but I'm a graphics retard to be honest (more of a programmer). If there's anyone here who can design a style, I'll put it up, no problem.

^^ Oh man, *sheds a tear* somebody get on this right away.

And he is going to think about adult mods, i think we have a winner here!

Suggestion the adult mods section would work better if the rules was stated that we need to post links to the pictures so then each forum user is responcible for what links they click on. This would clear up the problems that some users have and complain about when they say hey my little sister is watching me on the pc well they have the option to click the link or not as it wont just be posted to the forum. all pictures get posted to seperate links. At least thats the best way i can think of doing it so everyone stays happy.

You mean, images don't show up in threads and you have to click on a link to view it? That's just an option vB has, I can just enable that and there's even no reason to complicate the rules.
