Hey guys, at the prodding of Boomer, I thought it'd be a good idea to get your thoughts down on what features you'd like to see next on the website. I can't promise all or even most of these would be implemented, but we do want to respond to the community's requests and it'd be nice to have it all down in one place.
So fire away!







I posted in another forum the idea of a play0by0post area in the forums for when you update them
And again the idea of a flash/java arcade where we can show off our high scores in tetris or whatever.
I the interest of standing by what I suggested and keeping it all in one place.
rapingthecanon.com
and, because I know it's coming,
muggingthedoctor.com
definitely some boobs :P
How about a useful links page?
YouTube, Earthbound Central, Wizards of the Coast, Extreme Network, PAX, ComicCon, etc.
@ Tommy James: I have a forum post with a lot of links on it, I agree we could submit our own and if they agreed they could put them up there
I myself would like more customization for our profiles

Hmmm... maybe contests of some sort? Kinda going with the flash/java arcade idea from arkus, or maybe some video game contest where you would post a video of you playing the game and getting a certain score or something.
Chatrooms would be nice, and an arcade would be fun, we could play some Super Mario Crossover. It's been suggested before in other threads, but I think member blogs could work as well.

Oh, and some sort of art section could be cool as well

Chat and member blogs are all I can really think of for things I'd like added to the site. It's already super duper awesome.
Integrating a chatbox using a PHP script like Blab! would be quite simple to do. A friend of mine modified his version to create several relevant rooms and a history system that maintained 3 days worth of stuff...plus member bio pages and private chat capabilities. The best feature was the integration of image uploading, a pop-up box let you upload an image from your computer that would stay on the server for a few days for whomever you wish to show it to.
I think chat is likely one of the next big things we'd want to look at after the forums are updated. Kurara, your story inrigues me, and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I know next to nothing of what to do with PHP, if you have the technical know-how I can contact my friend to see if he has a copy of his sourcecode laying about. :)
(Or you can google Blab! or other similar scripts and see what's up and coming in that world of stuff. There might be better stuff out as the modifications made date back to 2004)
I personally am not very tech savvy when it comes the internal workings of the website - that's mostly the Commodore. I can handle a lot of front end stuff, but I usually stay out of anything related to PHP. But I'll certainly bring it up with him at some point so we can start digging around for info on how to integrate something like Blab! on the site. Thanks.

I looked through my old stuff and found several scripts that might interest you. They include image hosting, blog hosting, and a whole lot of crap for vBulletin and other forums which I used to make liberal use of a while back. If you or the Commodore need a sort of bare-bones script to work with I probably have something useful somewhere.
Drop me a line if you'd like to look at any of it.
Ummm, it's been a while, um, where are the chatrooms.

I was thinking that maybe Music would deserve to have its own section in the forums maybe?
What about a Con's section? It would be great if we new what Con's everyone is going to, and even meet up

Let's see...
Chatrooms: The website should still be undergoing a major under the hood upgrade in the next month or so (I have to talk to the Commodore about that) - I'd like to hold off on chat rooms until then. But they're coming.
Music and Cons sections: That sounds like a pretty good idea. I'll look into that a little bit and likely add them soon, see if they work, and evaluate.
Thanks for the suggestions!

breadcrumbs on the forums would be very useful - I find it quite hard to get back to where I started when posting a message - although I may just be missing something.

Not necessarily a WEBSITE addition, but I had an idea for a video. Roo, could you make a video going through your SNES/Genesis Collection? I think we'd all like to know what's in there.
And yes, we know; they're in alphabetical order

No reason we couldn't set up an IRC Channel for it all, I used to maintain one for some people a while ago, setting up a channel bot isn't that difficult.

How about a forum page on general computer related stuff under General Blather & Twaddle.

Well I mentioned I was working on it and it's here. Clan of the Gray Wolf now has an IRC Channel. So open up your favourite IRC program and plug in the info.
Server: irc.globalgamers.net
Channel: #CotGW
What's that? You don't have an IRC program? Well no worries about that, because the irc server we're on also offers a web based client!
Just go to http://webchat.globalgamers.net/ Pop your nick and the channel in and join the chat room!

"I would like to see a way the get back to the previous forum page." -- I definitely second this idea! I was...surprised to find that's not a feature, actually...
...I also second Airblade's idea about boobs. 8D

More Boomer content.

I'd love to but the Commodore and Roo have revoked my admin privileges. I'm not able to post content. At this point, they may revoke my ability to post as well.

Could be a joke but than again Capt. Commodore thought the Lt. Commander Boomer was a Ensign so he might of revoked his privileges, or it could be Roo that revoked Boomer's admin privileges since he sabotage the Weekly Wringer.

It was not a joke, but apparrently they've been restored. We're dealing with some friction right now about the business of the website, but I'm sure we'll get it sorted out. Besides, a little drama keeps things exciting, right?

Fix that shit. Business can break apart even the best of friends. I know you three are more than that.
