  I wouldn't bother. Impractical on so many levels; who's gonna judge which threads are worth reading? How many people are gonna judge thread by rating and decide based on that whether or not to read it? Is that a good thing? I mean, we didn't even pay attention to user ratings last time.

  Godno. There should be a public listing of all the playerworlds' own forums, dynamically updated, but you have any idea what a hassle it was just to keep track of who was the admin of the PW for the 10 PW forums we used to have? Plus every week, 3 more want to be added and 10 more ought to be removed, oi. The list will be trouble enough, if people really want to talk about Valkorlia they can do it at Valkorlia.com or whatnot. Let them worry about it, and let them be the supreme arbiter of such things. Downside, more forum passwords to remember/risk of using the same one for everything (bad), upside, they can let classic members post there or even turn off the You must be a registered member to post restriction if traffic's low enough.

  Add the VIP forums (as people have already said)

  Inside the VIP forums, have the Graal 3D section as said before, and also, have a section for Private playerworld discussion, and then a general discussion section.

  Create a 'happy birthday' section, just like you have a 'hello and goodbye' section... then have all posts made in those 2 sections NOT count twards your total post count. (this will lower spam, and get rid of all those happy birthday threads in the non-graal section...)

  That'd be nice, I remember thinking it existed once, incorrectly

Godno. Perhaps based off time on the forum, perhaps just everyone gets about the same thing, but postbased will be g'dawful, let's not reward people for ming cleverly. I'm not even a big fan of making it based off how many victories you've had, as that'll make it such that whoever wins the first few becomes invincible and the newbie who walks in just gets forumslaughtered. Rather than a beat him up and steal his lunch money system, or even a knock him out and gain experience system, just a sparring system. You don't gain anything but prestige. Maybe some clever configuration to it so you can strategically plan your defences rather than everything being a double knockout...I dunno, the hack might be a right pain to alter. Ideally it'd be based off alliances, you pick two allies who, hopefully, weren't already knocked out; you add to their defense when they're attacked, they add to yours assuming they selected to when you are.

Agh, please don't add any fancy ridiculus things like pets in the forums.

Just have them be - normal forums.

[zs0]

How about.. At a certain amount of posts you can go into shops, instead of just ohay look 1k posts we can make our own name thing or whatever, you can go in and get a special amount of storage for your PM box.. :0

This is precisely how I feel. We don't need fancy stuff that will make these forums slow and bloated. Just make them nice, normal forums. =\

Yes, and I ment ONLY for public playerworlds.... since management on public servers isn;t supposed to change often, then it shouldn;t be that bad.... also, since forum passwords are usually the same as your graal password when you sign up, I don;t see how it could cause people to use the same password as something else?

anyways, it would be nice to have more of a classic presence in the forums... I mean, they're graal players too, and they supported graal by buying an account at one time... so I think they deserve at least 1 small section where they can communicate...

Yeah and with buying stuff, there could be a lottery with the money too

[WanDaMan]

How about them status bars on the left, but they have a purpose? Like what screeny said? So you log onto I don't know, UN for example. That would be your deaths/kills/hp/mp bla bla bla. But if the last server you was on before going onto these boards was Graal Kingdoms, make it show a kingdom tag and all that stuff..

For the forums, it would be bad because people would idle forever.

[Tyhm]

Yeah, that's a fair point; but idling on the forums is better than spamming. It's actually better to idle on the forum, as it makes things more lively; if I spend all day trolling and reloading this thread, when somebody asks what I mean I can respond immediately instead of sometime tomorrow, ya?

[Darlene159]

I would really like to see a "store" as I said in the previous thread....where you get like 1 point or coin or whatever per post, and when you get so many you can buy certain things with the points such as a different colored name, the option to change your nick, and whatever other little goodies you can come up with.

Also, some added smilies,,,maybe some fun ones that go with Graal?

Post style? Go into your options and there should be a layout option called old style. If you meant images and such, they're still working on that.

[busyrobot]

Well, I would definately recommend more PM folder space. Enlarge it for normal users and double that for mods. I try to keep as many as possible archived in there but it gets clogged.

As for stores, pets, things to buy or arcades, I think anything you get points to 'get' in the forums, you should just get. If I am going to spend time in a game gathering funds, it'll be in GK.

It would be cool if there was a dropdown list in the profile for most often played server, that would allow you to show the your online time or in game profile stats for that server to the left of the post, instead of the funky stats we had before. I bet likely not practical, but I think it would be interesting.

There is an option to save them locally.
