i made a thread like this ages ago but here it is again. this is a thread to discuss what you think could make the site better. and who knows? maybe some of the staff will use some of the ideas. heres one of my ideas.

1. a way to label help threads like "how do i beat *insert boss name here.*" so if you go into the search you can search for people in need of help in perticular forums.

any good ideas from you guys? i dont think many or any of these will be used but maybe someone has a really good idea.

I think making me head of EoFF with ultimate power over absolutely everybody, without me having to do any work for/to the site would be a good idea.

:D. anyway.

a lot of FF sites have optional background music from FF. FFonline and FFcompendium have music. i cant really imagine it suiting EoFF for some reason but its a thought.

To make it the ultimate Loony Bob should do a little sock puppet show every friday and wednesday night. That would own everything!

by that i meant when you start a help thread you label it with something and when you go into the search you can choose an option that says something like "only show help threads." it could have its uses.

id like us to try and keep this a serious discussion. a jokes a joke but i dont want this filling up with tons of pointless suggestions. post any ideas but dont fill the thread with jokes and stuff because thats not what its for.

I think once a month we should have a "Black Friday" where we ban ten random oldbies.

But the overall idea is great, and should be taken into great consideration.

If threads that contained suggestions and ideas to improve the site and fora were placed in the TITS forum, I think that would be an improvement.

Split all the members into rivalling motorbike gangs with leather jackets (car coats), blood initiations, membership tags, like they used to do in the 50s

I think once a month we should have a "Black Friday" where we ban ten random oldbies.You wouldn't notice a difference anyway, because the vast majority of the oldbies are inactive. Still, if it means Jojo and Raistlin get banned, I'm all for it. Oh, but maybe rename it Golden Friday or Rainbow Friday.

I had this cool idea that there could be a leveling up system based on how many posts you have, and you gain more expereince the longer your posts are.

This would probably be a very difficult idea to fully realize, however.

"Must spam to reach level 99!!" would happen too often probably :cry:

That promotes spamming, though I see your point why should someone who made an account 2 years ago, forget about it and still get the same, if not more privliges then an everyday user...
But...

That promotes spamming too much.

No, you get a couple of cupons cut from a 1974 newspaper and some stained article of clothing worn by Cid.

ive seen a forum where they did something like that based on how many posts and how long youve been on the site for. i cant remember the site. do you know any sites like this.

i doubt the ranking system would suit EoFF.

No thanks, i thought that guy had issues.

Backround music as someone suggested would be a cool idea.

Maybe to have differant backround skin's. People e.g. sig/avatar's makers etc. could make up a whole new backround than the classic EoFF one we have now. Then i guess you could just simply pick the one you like best for your backround.

Can't think of much else, EoFF is a very well run site.

We should put together a team of all the people who can read Japanese and get them to translate the magazine articles from the Japanese gaming magazines about Final Fantasy games.

Background music for EoFF: Winamp, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, iTunes, Last.fm player... they're your background music, folks! If you're going to listen to something, you may as well make it something you like.

EoFF needs an Elitist Forum, and an Anti-Elitist Forum.

I think there needs to be more staffers like Psychotic (staffers that deal with warned posts quicker).

EDIT: There is a clue hidden in this post. See if you can find it.

Yeah, seriously. I think the few times I actually warned a post on IM to Paul or using the warned post system on EoFF lately, it actually got tended to immediatedly. Other times in the past, it would take hours. :jess:

Loony BoB
09-12-2006, 11:55 AM
We have SPOILER tags rather than a button... so when you type this:

[</>SPOILER]Christmas is a guy[/</>SPOILER]

then it ends up looking like this:

Christmas is a guy

That's a nice spoiler button, but not for someone like ed, who highlight text to read. I wouldn't mind if the spoiler tag was fixed so that you click on spoiler and the spoiler shows up. This makes it easier to avoid reading a spoiler without accidently highlighting it. FG has this, so you could both Aaron about it.

09-12-2006, 11:28 PM
Ok, I've got a really simple idea. In the dropdown bar when you click on a member's name (we'll use me as an example, but obviously this is for all members) there should be a "Give Vincent, Thunder God" a usernote option. It would make giving people usernotes so much easier!
