Shorty Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Once again, unprofessional as f***.You obviously ignore the whole point of my post. This is not a profession. This is something we do in our spare time for your sakes. We do not get paid. We did not go to school and learn how to do this. There was no apprenticeship involved. You cannot find us in the yellow pages. We're just kids and young adults like you, but with the responsibility of keeping the bigger idiots in check. Do you think we sit in an N-E Forums office, having meetings and chatting about the old days by the coffee machine? Ironically, if this was a profession, it would be the very opposite of unproffessional!! The higher ups in employment have bigger offices, bigger desks, bigger cars, bigger paycheques. You're just arguing for the sake of hating 'the system' - but this is how things work all over, and how they're going to work here. Wake up to the real world, man.

StarGuitar Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hey guys, I'm just a new member I know and you'll probably think of me as an arrogant prick for suggesting something having only been here for 10 minutes. Well I'm a member of another forum and there we have a scheme whereby members get rewarded for quality of posts/funny things/helping out by receiving stars. The stars system works by each member getting a certain number of stars at the beginning of every week and the amount depending on their post count. They then give the member of their choice a star by clicking on a little button and have the option of giving them a little message as to why they've gave them the star. It's a way of encouraging members to improve the quality of their posts and create a little bit of friendly rivalry thus making forum activity more frequent and the quality of SPAG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) increasing. It's just a suggestion and in theory I think it could work well for this place. Anyone have any thoughts/issues? My main concern is how easy it would be to implement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That's rep, Starguitar, just in a different guise. And it's been discussed on the last couple of pages, I'm afraid. We tried it once and it's not going to happen. By the way your signature is a little too large for our guidelines, which say 500x150 Please fix that, and welcome to the boards Edit: by the way, you're our 3,000th member, have a cookie!

StarGuitar Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Ah right sorry I just saw that there. I just thought it might be a cool idea but not to worry. Consider the sig fixed, and thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to stick around here, I like the interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 wow 3000 members already ! i thought it was only a few months ago that there were 2000 anyway to the point. i'd like to suggest that the banner on the streatchable theme be centered and have the black stuff on the edge taken off. i know for a fact that this only takes 10-15 min to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yes but do you know for a fact how much the graphics monkeys have to do :p Besides, I intend on doing a rotating header thing like the site has when I get some free time over the next few days (working a few hours tomorrow and got Tues and Weds off so thenish) so it would be a bitch. However I am working on this: Want to get rid of the white thing on the right, unless people don't really have any objection? As you can see, it just stretches the body over the background basically.

conzer16 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I suggest that the Handheld board and the GCN board switch places. The DS and the Wii are the 2 present Ninty iterations and, well, the GCN is pretty much down and out. Edit: I know nothing about coding websites, so apologies if this is a naive question, but would it be so hard to centre the forum on the page rather than have it adjusted to the left?

It's AWESOME. I think that, for the more posts you make, your username colour changes. Only for every thousand or so. Of course, green, red and blue are already taken so how 'bout orange and pink and, (God forbid), brown. It's only a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 tech/pc talk should be re-named tech/computer talk or something that's more accommodating to mac users. I'd much rather custom user titles... But shhhh - let's not speak of them... i think thats a good idea. having every one with 1000+ posts with the same thing under their name gets boring perhaps after 5000 posts but then again that brings back the system of users with higher-post count having advantages. perhaps we should have a standard title for people with 5000 posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mac would be considered a PC though wouldnt it? i think thats a good idea. having every one with 1000+ posts with the same thing under their name gets boring perhaps after 5000 posts but then again that brings back the system of users with higher-post count having advantages. perhaps we should have a standard title for people with 5000 posts I reckon one for 3000, 5000, 7000 and 10,000 if we can't have custom ones.
