New Forum

This is a new forum where I would like you to post suggestions that you think would improve GameTavern. I'm not sure how long this forum will stick around; it will probably depend on the level of input.

A new design. That would brighten things up.

I agree. I really miss the black and red design. It was... chill... like a starbucks kick back forum....... Riiighhhhttt....

I recommend doing something like that... I have my own forum and change the design every once and then, and if you need help, I am always here.

Good luck, Bond.

Yeah, let's go back to the "tavern" feel.

Maybe putting the Calendar to more use? Like if we were to have more tournaments often, we could post them up. Or if the site was to be down for a reason, Neo or someone else could post the date it will be down.

Right now the Calendar is just kind of meh.

Get rid of the reputation, I think it's annoying.

I liked the monetary doubloon system where we could save up to buy certain things like name changes, custom titles, access to cool sections of the site, etc.

I'd also like it if you could bring the colored stars back, the ones we're using right now are really boring.

Maybe a new ranking system for everyone except the people with custom titles. The one we have right now is kind of random and really has nothing to do with video gaming.

I also agreee with the others on the red/black theme we used to have along with the old logo.

If some things were changed about rep (amount you can give, and so on), I would say keep it. It's fine the way it is, but it's too easy to get raped in such a short amount of time. But otherwise, I think it has really patched up the forums--it's good to have a system like this to show people not to be dumbasses, and to promote intelligence. I like that.

It shows nothing. It doesnt promote intelligence, it promotes misbehaviour and abuse, and it causes annoyance.

People with high rep have a high post count. It doesnt mean a damn thing.

Getting rid of rep and giving the forums a new design would make GT a lot better. I'm kind of sick of blue and grey, and the old red and black was really cool.

The "new beta skin" is now available in your user cp under Options and then Style Set. Codenamed "Child of gekko art."

Gecko color scheme.

It's A'ight

But I did like dbln's much better than rep.

Agreed.

But the high reputation/high post count relation exists only because we converted our doubloon savings so that people didn't feel completely ripped off earning all those doubloons for nothing.

But the staff didn't have doubloon accounts so how they automatically received 10-11 reputation pips is beyond me?

I like this better, but it can be way better.

For the window that has the Forum, Posts, Threads, Last Post. and Moderator written on it, change that to red instead of leaving it as blue.

And the yellow link fonts, that looks bad.

And Bond, here's my test forum...

http://tactocsogre.proboards9.com/index.cgi

No one's a member there because that's my test forum. My real board has 800+ members with more boards and looks exactly like my test forum.... (I am not advertising, that's why I linked my test forum).

Anyways, do you like that look? It's not 100% complete yet, we still have to finish the icons and a few banners.

... When you are abused. I give negative reputation to people who are dumbasses. It does not work on a large scale, but with the right scaling, it will work. And unsyncing post count could be a good idea, too.

This is VB3 beta for a reason. You can not expect anything to be perfect.

Well rep is still pointless. Who really cares about it? Not me. We don't even need any more of this rep/dbln crap, it's just another way to seperate yourself from others, which isn't good.
