What do you want?

[cheat-master30]

Well, since the community, while going pretty strong is not the most active in the world, I think it is time to let the community decide what is missing from the website! Should I add more skins, should I add other community features to integrate with the forum, more forums about anything.

My possible ideas:

Website Blog:

What admins want to run a website journal, posting news, random stories and Nintendo DS news and updates? Because somehow, maybe using Bravejournal does not quite work for what is aiming to now be a more professional site.

Photo Gallery:

Should I get a photo gallery hosted on the actual website and made in PHP? Maybe even allowing users to upload their own photos!

Re Instate the scripts:

Well, not a choice as I am planning to anyway once I sort out the PHP page mess problem.

Upload all the videos back to the website?

I am planning much of this, but with the announcement that we shall soon have about 250 Gigs Storage and 2500 Gigs Transfer thanks to what seems like some kind of Lunarpages upgrade, maybe it may be feasible to upload the videos in one place this time?

More images:

Should we add new images, and get some people to design some new smilies based on Nintendo and various other things?

O'RLY Tag?

Heh, BB code to allow insertion of my O'RLY pictures on the forum!

Hacks and codes?

Do you think we should register the forum for priority support and be able to use various hacks from sites like vBulletin.org which are used for various things?

we could get more smiles and re-desine them to make them Nintendo based

[cheat-master30]

Hmm, the idea about re-designing classic smilies to Nintendo ones sounds quite good, if anyone can get some sprites legally to use as smilies. And maybe some for other things?

[caprontos]

Ok I saw on another furom an interesting Idea..

There signtures were made only so big say this big:
from here:
__________________________________________________ _______________




theres a bunch of junk here u no..







__________________________________________________ _______________
to here

and if ur signture was longer then what would fit in there then there was a scrollbar so u could scroll down and see the whole signtutre.. I like this idea and it makes the post all one size and appers more professional

[NintenDan]

That'd make the site look more "clean" then all the posts all over the place. But what about my comics? Will the become scroll things? If so, that's fine, or is it just the signature?

[cheat-master30]

Not sure if that's achievable, but I could check in the Admin CP. Oh, and your comics will not have a scrollbar, only signatures.

[caprontos]

all the signtures would be the same size it would only effect Signtures

[caprontos]

EXAMPLE:

that basicly how it would look alright

[cheat-master30]

Hmm. I'll just look for a signature option like that in the Admin Panel right now.

[caprontos]

alright it should have one..

Powered by vBulletin Version 3.5.4

thats what kinda forum I saw this on so ur is just a newer version..

[cheat-master30]

Does not seem to be there. I'll check the online manual by vBulletin.com, but it does not seem to have this option at present.

[cheat-master30]

Sorry, I cannot seem to find this and it seems like an edit to the CSS by whatever board that was.

[caprontos]

I have no clue thats possable thou or it was removed in this version.. idk..

[cheat-master30]

Me neither. Probably is via CSS, but I do not know enough about the source code of vBulletin templates to try it.

[caprontos]

thats fine it was just an intresting idea thats all

[cheat-master30]

Okay. Got any other ideas to improve the website and forum, and make them more active and awesome?

[cheat-master30]

Oh, and can I link to your games in the fan game section part? The ones on your website?

[caprontos]

yea you can :) I'll be updateing my game soon thou now that i have a Zora sprite :) so the third demo will be out soon i hope

[cheat-master30]

Okay cool. I will do that right away.

[cheat-master30]

yea you can :) I'll be updateing my game soon thou now that i have a Zora sprite :) so the third demo will be out soon i hope

a chat romm that actually has someone chat in it why the hell arent yuou evevr in there my god.

[cheat-master30]

Sorry, it is hard to update a site, be active on a forum and visit a chat room at once as well as other things.

[Fr0sTbY7eX]

A CHAT BOX OMG!...A pretty nice sized one too...maby at the bottom with a Mariokart/MPH collage as a background! WE NEED CHATBOX!

[cheat-master30]

I had a chat box for the old one, I just removed it because:

Code messed up how the website validates
Guests were spamming and flaming a ton before (at the end of the old forum, there were direct insults and stuff).
I'm not sure where to get a hosted shoutbox for a vBulletin forum, as although there are modifications on vBulletin.org, they are hugely intensive to server load.

[caprontos]

we still have a chatbox thing thou.. just not used alot

[caprontos]

I think the Cronic's place in the forums option thing at the top needs to be changed to his new site alright

[cheat-master30]

Very true, and maybe removed soon, as it's totally dead and dying at this moment.

[caprontos]

I lost my password for his forum =/

[cheat-master30]

Meh, ignore it. He has just said he is giving away full admin powers (to delete and everything) to someone who guesses a random number between 1 and 10. This means it will be totally destroyed in about a day-a week, I can tell.

[AnGeLiz0r]

I think the top bit could do with a redesign, the bit where you have ds ultimate and the pic of the ds - maybe you should have that redesigned into a proper banner as appose to a little bit - would make both the site and forum look better and more professional - if you would like i could design and make you the banner so it fits well with the style of the forum/site in exchange for something like a link at the bottom of your site/forum to my site and you just put a little bit somewhere saying that i made it - if you want me to do this and you like the sound of it, just let me know :)

[cheat-master30]

... I just asked you semi for affiliation in a PM, so check your PMs! Oh, and I am not just re-designing the banner. Oh no, look at what I will do to the navigation bar once I am done:

With a background on the first and an image on the third and larger.

[AnGeLiz0r]

Well if you would be interested in me making you a nice banner, you have only to ask :)

[cheat-master30]

That's okay, and if you want to try, there is a topic somewhere here where people are posting possible banners.

[cheat-master30]

Post here if you want to make one:
