Our official suggestion thread

[Cosmos]

Well? Start suggestion ideas to help make Charas more awesome. This will be something staff can look over and hopefully make the changes you've requested.

The Archive was mentioned and has been added, any more board ideas?

I was thinking of adding a creative writing sub-forum to the creative arts to seperate and keep the place more organized. Maybe even a Creative videos/music sub-forum?

Suggestions? Thoughts/comments?

[Cerebus]

I suggest... demoting the inactive Mods!
Joking...
But I'm still suggesting not showing their name from the main page. It looks like they're still active.
I'd like to see other member's opinion about it!

And getting rid of the useless boards, as suggested by Lucas. But not by deleting the, just putting them in the archive.

Switching back to the PUB thing, too. The previous server or whatever. We had less or no bots back then.

[RuneBlade]

Make some sort of notice on the main page how many people are online in the chat, that would be kind of nice.

[Cosmos]

Well, bots can be banned no problem. I believe the reason why we changed servers was because the old one was crap and too easy to break yet harder to manage.

In order to do the "members in the chat," I think the chat would have to be made from scratch since irc is it's own program. We'd prolly need more active coders to do something like that. =/

I'm hoping staff will notice, I'll put a few topics there eventually. << promises.

[Cosmos]

I'm not sure if that can be done. Gimmie a few hours to figure out how to do it. Hopefully we won't have another warxe-aplode. << *coughs*

[FFL2and3rocks]

Yeah, you have to be an admin to do it. We should get an admin in here. Oh wait, I'm an admin! Alright! Which ones should I move? All of the teams? SEER? Offline Battlechar generator?

In order to do the "members in the chat," I think the chat would have to be made from scratch since irc is it's own program. We'd prolly need more active coders to do something like that. =/

I believe it can be done by installing any irc client onto the server, setting it to log everyone that enters and leaves, and then having the forum read and display this list, I can only think of two problems. One would be if SMF can actually read from a non-ini file (I haven't played that much with it), and whether new information can be shown on the forum itself. yes, someone would still need to set up a new chat, people will have to re-register their nicks, but at least it can be more easily managed, and much more power to the "staff."

[Cerebus]

There, I just made something quick to show what I meant concerning the, you guessed it, inactive Mods.
I don't want them to be demoted. I just want them not to be shown on the main page.
An image is worth 1000 words (or whatever)

That's all!

Just wanted to be sure everyone understood what I meant.

[FFL2and3rocks]

I should probably move All of All to archive as well, nobody posts there anymore.

[Cerebus]

Yes and Forum Gaming.

Oh and Forum Rules as well, it's quite dead right now. I mean, the last reply was like 4 years ago and nobody read this anyway.

[Cosmos]

I see what you mean, Ed. I'll ask Osmose about it and will see if he can do it.

*slaps FFL with a trout*

[Uberpwn_w00t]

I should probably move All of All to archive as well, nobody posts there anymore.

Wait, this was sarcasm, right? o_o

[FFL2and3rocks]

Of course not, I'm never sarcastic.

[SaiKar]

I suggest some admin figures out why the heck colored names were taken away. Those were AWESOME.

[fruckert]

I agree
What's up with colored balls anyways?
Those don't exactly say "authority"
