I never really thought any non members would care to look at blogs in the first place. It does not seem like anything interesting to dig through when you do not know anyone.
We never had anything Zelda related fiction-wise, just the article center from a few years back that has been retired now. I think after that no one within the staff having much of a personal interest in fanfiction just did not consider anything like that, while others assumed that the current...
I had thought about bringing it up in the past, but Xenforo has an addon that adds a banner inside the reply box of a thread that has not received any replies after a predetermined time with a checkbox and a warning along the lines of "This thread has been dormant for X months, replying to it...
You do not want the Shrug replaced with anything?
And I like the idea of Calamity appearing before usernames......after something like an event or contest. Should bring that up in event chat sometime.
Weirdly enough, there are a number of random threads that would not be alive if not for moving the general thread being moved for the month. The edgy thread is not as bad since people are responding to it, however we might start enforcing the no Chan behavior if the pic replies continue.
The...
I see no particular issue with the money system. It was always intended to be a fun little extra thing for the forum, before we had things to collect for your profile page (something I really wish we could recreate now) and the unlocking of forum things was more of a secondary aspect. It is...
We already have the Latest member that Joined thingy at the bottom of the members online list. Do not think anyone ever really thought much about expanding on that. Plus you can look up newest members on the members list.
Wouldn't a notification go against the whole idea?
If someone got a message declaring "X is ignoring you!" then that might only make them want to send some communication right back their way almost immediately.
Just quietly ending communication is the lesser of two evils.
Yea I used to make a...
The last SB we had actually allowed for it but it was just never ever used.
I think the JJ free channel was the only one that ever got more than 2-3 messages total.
I go to another forum where I check page 1 and 2 of the busier sections all the time. As long as they were bumped within the last day or two I will look.
I think it's only an issue on sites where they are weird about bumping older content and it is up in the air as to what constitutes old content.
Mases wanted it added last week. It is meant to post the latest mailbag videos on the forum at the same time as the main site.
I sort of wanted to make it into a General Purpose main site posting/feedback/suggestion section but no one was too sure how successful that would be.
Every so often people get the idea that nearly every subject can use its own subforum. Things were a bit worse about it a few years back before some condensing was done. I actually think things are okay as they are now tbh. Maybe the fanworks section is a bit too broken down but I never saw the...
Since the profanity filter was optional in the first place, there was some discussion to add more words to it. I tried to get some dialog on a list of more to add to it but that seems to have paused recently.
A couple years ago I wanted to have some method of having members make/donate images for the forum. I never really did get all the details together into something tangible. But the whole idea was to have a place where if someone wanted to make a banner, icon, button, or anything else then they...
Occasionally Mases will prune inactive accounts like that. I have never been a huge fan of that since I will sometimes revisit old forums I have not been to in a couple years. And we have had a few come back after several years and become active again. It does not happen very often but it still...
And if past administrators did not upload 86 emotes in less than 7 months time that complaint might have some weight to it. But since this is a thread about suggestions and not complaining about activities of others I would ask that complaints of specific members be kept to pm.
Inactive groups were never really an issue, but quite a few people in the past were not too willing to part with their old groups even if they were inactive for long periods of time. So we largely left them alone since they never took up much space in the first place.
This forum used to have a very strict hard line that was followed when it came to following the rules and doling out punishments. However that led to many situations where members did something that was mostly harmless or could only be taken a wrong way but they crossed said line and was...
I'm wondering if the medals should have a redesign. These are nice but they are getting a bit old and seem a little tiny. The alternatives earlier were an annoyingly gigantic 90px, but maybe we could use something in between.
Actually we used to have music players on profiles before, it was lost after a forum update a couple years ago. I did find this in the meantime

but it was never implemented
I always thought vb 4.1 adding in the activity feed was very counter intuitive to any form of privacy since it allowed people to just watch a page consisting of one individual's actions. But then again vb has been trying really hard to transform itself into facebook for a few years now.
I was once on a forum that required 5 posts in 24 hours before SB was accessed. That was a bit ridiculous. I do not necessarily believe there is a connection between available chat and posting activity. Only posting and apprehension of what it might attract.
I have not thought about that layout in three years. I assume that it was most likely forgotten. However a new layout is supposedly in the works so I am unsure what will com from that in the near future.
I still think that due to the fact that there are several different types of forum volunteer I still think there should be a forum staff banner that includes designations for Event Staff, Competition leader, Article Editor, Shop Manager. Then if people want a site staff one for wiki/article...
The emotes were removed for the same reason the gold emote uuploader was removed before, abuse and an oversaturation of emotes that did little but generate more and more complaints by the day. After a while of hearing the complaints the staff took it to heart and removed the ones deemed most off...
But...it's the most important meal of the day...
For the most part postcount was turned off in the community area due to the amount of intro threads and posts (something which I did not personally have a problem with since it encourages lots of replies to new members anyway). I would be more...
I do not believe many were aware that community coordinators had the authority to enact changes to the forum without first discussing those ideas with the staff first. Right now the position still seems to have a more nebulous definition. But I am not certain this thread is the place for that...
