I never saw the purpose of adding forum gold to this site. Ok, so artists get their gold. What are they going to use it for? Where will regular people get it from?
Generally speaking forum gold is accumulated by makeing posts and threads. It is then, depending on the site, used to buy things like custom titles, avatars, signatures, shiny little icons to adorn your post profile, etc.
I'm not sure what an artist would do with the gold he or she recieves from someone buying their artwork though.
Perhaps allow a user to customize how they view the forum then, allowing each and everyone to select how they want it? Perhaps that's quite challenging, I don't know. But this is the suggestion forum isn't it?
that does seem challenging. As it requires the blank or unedited version and the edited version with all the new names, I think you woule either impliment them or not.
And Atrumentis, your names are good, at the time it was suggested, as this is a Diablo forum, we decided to go with names of places from the game.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
True, and that is never a bad thing, but it also invites spam/flood. "If I post I get richer, If I post again I get even richer, Spam and flood your way to fortune WOOHOO!!!"
And I don't think you could stop that, save from how we have always stopped it. merging/deleting. But that would only deal with the posts/threads themselves, they would have already recieved their money. I don't think deleting a post or thread subtracts from their total.

Possible. It would be fairly obvious who is trying to score as much coinage as they can in the least amount of time.
BTW, nice avy/sig combo.

It would probably include more "categories" than just those who left.
But a list of those who left seems like more of a wall of rememberance, than a Hall of Fame. Leaving isn't exactly something to be proud of, one is normally inducted into a Hall of fame for a great accomplishment.
Ferret would be in there for all his work on LOD for example.
But the overall concept of your idea sounds good.

My name is there becuase the coding is only for Top Poster, singular. And currently that is me. Used to be Silver at one point, way back in Mar-Apr 06.
I mentioned having it say Top Posters, so I'm not quite so lonely at the top.
But featured member might be cool. Though my forum coding is n00bish to say the least, I wouldn't know how such an honour would be bestowed upon the deserving.

The only advertisement I have noticed is the massive YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE at the top, which is really annoying. I also hate that its design is an old version of what our computers used to be, so its incredibly obvious that its a fake message.
Less moderation of flame fights to an extent. The forums have become quite dull over the past few weeks. Im not saying no moderation but limited moding.
Bring back Teh and Siaynoq, hard to do but dam do we miss them.

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
1. I would like to see a link at the top between "Calendar" and "New Posts" that searches for "My Posts".
I'm always going to the advanced search to punch in my name, and it gets annoying at times. I always want to see who has posted a reply to what I posted.
2. I would like to see a color scheme that is RED in place of the orange. I mean it is a Diablo site right? Plus, it might be something to bring back some old members. You know, send out an email to all the users saying "Check out the new design of the forums!!"
the site should have a point system where you can buy stuff and rob people of point and trade and you can gain level and stugg.

this is not part of my post, this is a signature, it's not a really big signature for now but maybe some time later it will have cool pictures and more information and stuff on it like from games or some other things i don't know
''May the Gods give you the strength and power to bear the madness which flows through our minds.''
''Zubin, I've always imagined you as a crazy raver. The kinda guy that spends all night dancing to trance music while waving glow sticks and popping ecstasy.'' - Murderface
well im sure its already been mentioned. but maybe like a thread or a chat place(yes ive noticed the one on the left side of the home page but there no one there) but so that people can talk about stuff like "ya my account got stolen", "ya how do you do this" instead of making a thread that will only get 3 posts to answer the question.
Well if no one is in that chat link. A new one would be equally ineffective. If you're asking for a more casual means of conversation. A majority of the forum have Xfire, which is just a chat and VoIP application. You could always just add everyone that way.
Starcrafttwo.com's calendar is up to date and ours is not. Why?
Discrimination.
