Suggestion Thread

Well, I thought Id make a thread where you can suggest addtions to Snarkpit, and maybe lep will like a few :biggrin: .

My suggestion:

A comment system in profiles like www.moddb.com, like, they can post comments about the person themselves, rather than just posting on map's.

That sounds like a decent proposal. I concur!

Isn't this what the "submit" buttion in the control panel is for?

It seems to me that the feature you suggest isn't necessary here. it's such a tight comunity that you know basicly everyone. even noobs can get the feel for people just be seeing the way we react to one another.

Thought that was for stat's section only.

Post rating would also be good.

You mean topic rating? No-one ever uses that on other forums, and even when they do it doesn't mean anything :razz: And user comments, maybe, but I'm not that keen on the idea. How about a wikipedia-stylee history/biography for everyone that people can contribute to?

Anyways I'd appreciate more suggestions that aren't to do with comments or feedback :razz:

Wash those teeth of yours!

I think topic ratings would only be useful in forums with a huge member base, like the something awful forums where loads of new threads are posted each day.

And what would threads be rated on here anyway?

Oh and keep us posted on what you're up to Lep, I keep finding new little things all over the place! :biggrin:

How about Java IRC for #snarkpit for people who are too lazy to download an IRC prog?

psst... what's your name over there?

As for suggestions the only thing I want to see is a larger community. You seem to be doing a great job in trying to expand the site to more games, so I don't know if there's anything else you could do in that respect...

Oh, and make me a moderator. :dodgy:

I just lurk there Yak, don't post. :smile:

The community will get that boost when hl2 comes out. Hope it doesn't get too diluted though.

honestly, i hope not, cause i don't like the image some people portray me as.

Well Jon, most of us don't like the image you project. Thank god you've curbed your obsession with poop though...

ducks feces

Oh, it appears not. :biggrin:

you guys trying to tell me that a n00b would read dave's and my diatribe and understand that we really are close friends?

somehow i truly doubt it.

i would like to see something added to the personal area about personal info, stuff you'd be willing to part with IF you chose to.. IE wedding anniversaries, birthdays, births of siblings, deaths ect,ect..

I would love that, but it's a bit hard to do without an annoying pimping spree and without any new 'content' per se... If HL2 was out already I'm sure there would be hundreds more people about :razz:

I don't know about you guys, but all I read was "pimping spree"

searches for appropriate smiley

:pimp2:

i would like to see a calendar, one we can all contribute to..

its many times more sincere to see someone post happy birthday in advance of the event, than it is for someone to say "todays my birthday" and then receive comments.

Excellent idea... you could probably extend the wiki to some other stuff too

Dang, that's what I do. Oh well :razz:

Have a birthday that you can set in your profile, and then on the front page or something have a "Happy Birthday to <insert name here>!" message when appropriate. A trivial feature perhaps, but I think it would be good.

I might contribute some photoshops sometime. Occasionaly I come up ones I think are really funny. :smile:

Yeah, that's a cool idea, and their name could be in a different color or something like that so everybody knows they're dealing with a birthday child!

And it shouldn't default to displaying peoples birthdays, they should have to manually set it. That way, the area won't be clogged with birthday announcements of monoposters.

Why not add a smallish happy birthday smilie under their name? it worked on wireplay quite well, or along the bottom have "3 users are celebrating their birthday today!" (it only has to be small text) ..

only the prolific people will get birthday wishes and so forth, which will eliminate the "monoposter spam" CCS spoke of.
