What would you like to see added to the site next?

An arcade module with a High Score list and a feature to challenge other members? I'd prolly added at least.. 70 or so games to play on it.

More game coverage? More games than just World of Warcraft..

Reviews for MMO Currency Selling websites..

An awards module so members of MMOwned can be awarded for their posts.

A points system so members can award eachother points for good posts and a store option to spend the points on forum enhancements.. like access to special forums, bold username, glowing username, no advertisements.. etc.

If you want something added that you don't see on the list, reply to the post and let me know what it is.

Ftw imho ttfn!

ABBREVIATIONS w00t!

And yes, Matt, I got your -mail-

[Utensil]

an award system could be rather cool as long as you control it so it is not a matter of "oh im great and you suck" type thing cause that might make new members want to leave.

[Gog123456]

award system would be cool, depending on the reawrds...:P

[janzi9]

Ya award system is awesome, but I dunno how he could give awards :P

[Matt]

im prolly just going to implement the points/cash system..
rewards would be forum advantages and special privledges.. maybe add a private forum with pre-releases of guides and hacks..

[janzi9]

Awesome! Private forums sounds REAL good.

[oninuva]

Yup so is that wat the +1 rep is for?/???/

and where is the private fourm?

[bloodofwar]

I think there could be a chat for members online (like an actually chat room). it would be pretty cool just to be able to talk to other members freely w/o having to use the whisper system or making a forum for it:confused:

actually i could setup a flash chat room fairly easily.. i'll work on that this week.

Either that or you could just put in a vBulletin Shoutbox. A lot of the time a shoutbox is better because in a forum I used to administer (which I won't say the name of because of its nature) we found that noone entered the chat room, because they couldn't be bothered or whatever. So there was never anyone to talk to. But when we implemented a shoutbox, we found it had a much higher activity rate as it is easily accesible from the forum index and people see it when they log in and are therefore more likely to participate. Also, they don't have to leave the main forum pages to see the messages and can just glance at it as they are browsing the forums to see if there is anything that interests them that is being talked about. Just my 2c.

The shoutbox is one of the most server intesive scripts I could run on vBulletin, i don't want to slow down the site.. and I'm second guessing adding flashchat.. Maybe I'll make the shoutbox a privledge for +25 post members..

[janzi9]

Chaz to porn site more imo. >< JK!

I never use shout boxes.. Vote imo.

[Cypher]

Nah, not a porn site, lol.

Matt, I don't recommed limiting things based on post count, that just leads to people spamming the board. Maybe base it on reputation instead because that encourages useful posts intstead of useless ones. And if everyone started using the Reputation system more it would be a more viable alternative. Another alternative would be the moderators/administrators adding users to a special usergroup that had access to the shout box when they thought it appropriate.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude or contradict you, I'm just giving advice based on experience.

[janzi9]

Noone gives rep! >< Besides the Mods and active members.
