Feedback for the forums?

[Charon]

Oh, ha ha. The lash pin. That's a pretty good idea, actually. :3

I'm still trying to figure out how all this SMF stuff works, to be honest ._.

[Rolina]

Whoa, your avatar evolved!  Cool. *is BIG digimon fan!*
And no, NOT digivolved.  Don't get me started on my hatred for the dub.


Personally I'm not too satisfied with the Lash Pin, but... well, it's the only thing I can find that makes much sense.  Still wondering on what to do for the "new posts" bit.  Probably Standby for no new posts, Running for New Posts, and Running to the side for new posts in a subforum...

But then that does nothing for the Menu theme...  I'll try to find something for it.

[Charon]

<3 Hawkmon. Although it's a slightly revived love... I forget how much I like it until I immerse myself within it again...

I'm thinking it might make the most sense just to use external psynergy buttons, like with the psynergy seal and the pin (although only the move hand comes to mind, and it's a pretty big sprite). Hrm... either that or we could use either Felix or Isaac (since their considered main characters) doing running, standing and walking animations.

[Rolina]

Heh, I actually run a digimon game over in RPoL.  ^-^

Huh, but that just seems out of place for a menu theme.

- No new posts
OR - New posts

Hi guys, I have returneth, if only temporary.

Anyhow, the forums look nice, Atrius yer missing yer menorah lol, but I don't have much computer access (albeit quite a bit of internet access ironically) so I will be unable to create new themes for a while. :o

If I can get some sketches up for some images, I wouldn't mind helping out by providing stock for the images however.

[Salanewt]

The forums are pretty good. I only have one suggestion though. Since I am a bit too busy to look into the editor for the animations, could you please upload a few more of the significant characters as emoticons?

Have a nice day.

[Rolina]

No.  The solution to your 'problem' is to stop being lazy.  We're not here to bow to your every whim.  If you want a list that badly, make a topic for reference.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Salanewt, I created the [sprite] tag specifically so that I wouldn't have to do that.

Ah, Hanukkah did start today didn't it?  Hmm...

I say that we simply call these lights "Holiday" lights. Dealing with such "naming every bleepin' December holiday" tomfoolery is madness!

[Rolina]

NO.  I refuse to give in to Political Correctness.  They shall be known as Christmas Lights so long as I live.  If you disagree, then I'll kill you.  Tradition and Heritage is IMPORTANT.  I won't let some leftist prick tell me otherwise.

Hey, goth bird admin girl, how comes the forum updates?  I mean, we've not gotten anything new since the mercury theme, and there's PLENTY of good ideas in here...

[Charon]

i am not a goth bird girl D=<

I haven't been able to do any art on the computer, let alone edit it for any themes. I would but usually I'm either posting from my DSi or my mom's laptop, and I can't edit the pictures on them. Also, I kind of suck with SMF ._.

[Rolina]

I see.  So your job now is...?  I mean, you were supposed to be in charge of the whole cosmetic aspect of the forums...

[Charon]

I understand, I'm kind of dormant now. I tend to be more active than Atrius on the forums as a whole though.

I have some time on Ubuntu, I'm getting some files up for a Venus theme now. I might change the class buttons again :x

Speaking of classes, as you raise through the classes, you now get progressively more PM space.

EDIT:

New clan system is proposed.
Clan Ranks:
16 ranks
All follow following post rank order, with following PM Limits:

Choosing one clan over the other will not have any particular advantages or disadvantages, but only you can view the special "clan forum" that is the same as your clan. If you have no clan (neutral), none of these boards are visible, unless you are on the moderating team (those on the community project are exempt). Just an idea, otherwise the clan basically dictate the name of your rank.
There are a few rules to keep everything in order:
1. Please do NOT ask new members to join one clan or another >_>
2. No wars between clans

What do you think?

[Atrius (He/They)]

I'd really rather not make PM storage a reward for posting more.  The only reason the limit is there at all is due to resource limitations on the server.

As well, Charon isn't just responsible for the forums appearance, she has the same authority you would expect any forum Admin to.

[Rolina]

Agreed, PM storage should be based on quality, not quantity.  We don't want to encourage spamming.

[Charon]

Aye, I suppose that makes sense.

[Rolina]

Anywho, how's your exploring into SMF coming along?  Are you far enough to be able to start working on some of the many skin ideas posted here?

[Atrius (He/They)]

Part of the problem has to do with how Invisionfree's admin system handles allowing you to change images for themes, or rather that it doesn't.  It's one of many things I need to look into.

[Rolina]

...Huh?  But this isn't invisionfree...  Your post totally confused me... @_@
