ok so i didnt know were to put this but i thought i would start a thread bout things we want on the forums and stuff like that...

some of things ive thought of are:

- more sub headings... like in space out section there could be different sections... like one for randomness, one for word chain games, one for funny threads and one for sugestions to the clan or something (last one mostly cause i couldnt find somewhere to put this post)

- also i think when ppl log in it would be better if they say their name in a seperate colour. sort of like how the mods are a diff colour... but it would only be seen as coloured by person whose acc it is...

... i think i had some more but i cant remember them :P
ill post them later if i remember them

so what do you think? anything else that could be better bout the forums?

post away

ps. woot this is my 100th post!

that'd require a new php and javascript code.. no chance.. too complicated.

and yeah..

haha, i was gonna say more than 25 people but we can't control that. Maybe have more than 2 ranks i.e Admin and Moderators. Maybe get like the VIP i.e me LOL to be a different colour too???

Anyways thats my 2 cents :)

Apart from that i quite like the forum. nice job Toots :)

do themore subheadings... especially with space out becoming increasingly bigger...

hmm
what colour to use?
yellow is what they are by default... soo... thats not exactly going to be anny different :P... also orange blends into the yellow so there wont be much diff if you make it orange.
although thats kinda what you want :P ... it to look unimportant.

i think this one

[color=#0080FF] - Insert word here


or this one

[color=#FF8000] - Insert word here


mainly depending on how much you want it to not stand out... i think blue... but orange would be better if you want it to look less important

... not that i would even benefit from this :(

What do you mean no special rank?
I'm the only Board Veteran.
Not high not low, but certainly unique

yeah, that ranks dependent on posts..

special ranks are like... mod, admin, founder, gfx, snd etc.

yours is based solely on amount of posts.

Who cares if it's based on posts? It's unique, just like chompers.

Me and him are way too awesome

- Trying to spread the word, set as sig in god knows how many things
- Yeah you need one of those, not that it affects me much
- Merchandise eh? Not really helpful without members sadly enough. Then again, it worked for L8nites@GameFAX
- Sponsorship again would require you to have more members.
