Lowtsx I know you said you'd never put a like button into the forums and that's extremely understandable. But if you could just add the yospos NICE! buttons to the rest of the forums, I think it would vastly improve the user experience.

A Portal of Evil/Weekend Web type subforum for Internet atrocity tourism would be fun. The weekend web was what got me reading the front page in the first place. It would definitely need to be heavily moderated to avoid pooptouching but I love to read weird poo poo online.

You can't pull rank on murder.

Let me buy coins with which I can give awards to posts. The maker of the post will gain the balance of the award in coins. Also you can invest the coins in making awards but you get a cut when someone pays to use it. Maybe you can also gamble or buy virtual creatures.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
A page that updates in real-time with the last 50 or 100 or whatever actions taken on the forums. Like "15:28 {Username} replied in {Thread}" and "20:04 {Username} was put on probation for post in {Thread}" and "04:33 {Username} edited post in {Thread}" and "{Username} rated {Thread} {Rating}".

There would be no archive and you couldn't save or copy anything in it. But you could be the ultimate goon voyeur...

As long as it links to the posts this sounds like a fun way to visit random threads when bored.

Lowtax, I really want custom plat / grenade icons implemented as something users can buy for themselves without admins needing to do all the legwork coding them in on a person-by-person basis.

when i read a good post i want to buy it with coins and then it looks like i made the post instead of whoever actually did it.

Does anyone remember that lowtax thread where he asked what changes should be made to the user profile page and then nothing happened with it? There's still, like, yahoo messenger and the like still listed with none of the suggestions implemented. That happened, right? I'm not just fever dreaming up some lowtax thread like a weirdo right?

Oh. Ok. So he couldn't just pick one blank field to add. Or slapp those five hundred suggestions into a word cloud generator and use the most obviously suggested. This all seems fruitless and futile. Well thanks. Godspeed on his spinal health.

There are tags for [color] and [size], but they are only useable in custom user titles or where otherwise specificied. People tend to abuse these tags, so they are not allowed in most places.

[size="x-large"][color="red"]Unleash the tags EVERYWHERE. Ban them in the backwater subforums that abuse them, like eventually GBS[/color][/size]

People like me would ruin this because im the kind of person who edits a post, then after clicking save thinks "OH YEAH and another thing!" like five times in a row.

e: I added a comma to the post, then edited a second time to say I had done so.

Allow the tags but you must pay 10 cents per tag

I would honestly enjoy anything that makes it easier to make forums purchases in the apps.

Also a way to gift people plat directly, I tried to give someone plat once and it was a pain in the rear end because they by definition don’t have PMs.

I'd like a way for posters that have been put on ignore to have their text hidden from you when other people quote them. It kinda defeats the purpose of putting really garbage posters on ignore if everyone else keeps responding to their poo poo and it's always visible in some way.
