Nice work on the layout and stuff, LOL.

I've been a bit preoccupied this weekend, and I'm busy tomorrow as well, but it's good to see things being handled so well without my presence. Which makes sense seeing as how you guys all know what you're doing.

Carry on.

Yo~
It's me, V. From AL.

Just a minute suggestion that can be easily done for those of us with slightly poorer than average eye sight: would you make the text below all the topics/thread things on the main forum page a bit lighter in colour? The light grey on dark grey is a bit of a bad contrast an is rather straining on my eyes...

Also if anyone wants any help or you could do with some extra hands around the site: I have prior experience in website creation (Dreamweaver, adobe and macromedia) and graphic design (Photoshop, Fireworks and GIMP)... Just putting that out there.

P.S. Is Shin, Shin Fenrir? With part of your(?) name missing I get confused.

Oh and by the way in the forum: Town Square, the there is a sub forum called "Gamer's bldg", is that "bldg" short for something or is it a spelling error?.

Nah, it's short for Building. In almost any and every FF game, if you look at your location while in some sort of building (for example, Shin-Ra Bldg. in VII), that's how it's abbreviated. =P

WAZZAP, BITCHES.

Yeah, finally dug through the other thread and showed up here. For all the good it'll do folks. Heh, nice job on getting everything straightened out. One more thing...

GET RIDDA THE DAMNED LIKE/DISLIKE THINGUMY. Intrusive little so-and-so...if I don't like what someone said, I'll just find them and kick 'em in the face. No need for it, especially in a roleplaying forum where people will be liking/disliking IC posts. That's just a recipe for antagonism right there >_>...

Yea, I'm with Laser on this one. I want a like and dislike button? I'll go to freaking facebook.

Also, exclusive shoutbox is useless to us... >.>

Heh, yeah. It's kinda awkward to have a post limit for the shoutbox. Tried to let people know I was here in the shoutbox, wouldn't let me. Not terribly helpful.

Same, yea. An admin shoutbox is useful, well, to admins really. As I recall, you have one of those anyways.

Uh, you know, you could've just kindly pointed that out instead of trying to make it seem.. you know what. Whatever.

BTW I already said before the like/dislike thing can be taken out really easily. You guys didn't have to moan about that.


And what do you mean "An admin shoutbox is useful, well, to admins really. As I recall, you have one of those anyways. " ?



Regular members can post it in...unless you were referring to a GUEST trying to post in it.

What he meant was the Admin CP notepad that he and I are used to working with in Isle of War. Wouldn't show up for anyone without admin CP access. Kinda curious as to why he mentioned it, honestly...o_o...

Anyways. Beyond the like/dislike thing being crazy intrusive to normal posts, I really and truly think it'd bring nothing but grief to an IC thread. If your opponent in a spar is constantly Disliking your posts, or the other players in a thread continually Dislike your story posts, it'd get aggravating/depressing real damn fast. It's just not a good fit for a roleplaying board, ne?

I didn't even pay attention to that...

And yeah, Pierce was referring to only the admins needing our SB aka the notepad in the CP. Members obviously can't use that.. and we have an entire forum for spam, a lounge for chatting about this that and the other.. If the SB has issues (I don't personally pay any attention to those whatsoever), then uh, yeah.. who needs it anyways.

As for the Like/Dislike... considering the points brought up by these two, I definitely agree to get rid of it.

No~ don't get rid of it, just change the .css code to put the like/dislike function in all other forums except for the RPing one. I quite like the idea of a like dislike button because it cuts down on inane posts where someone does:

That up above. Rather than taking up a post and technically spammin, just hit the like button and everyone will know that you like said comment.
Simples.

EDIT:

Also, where is the GFX section? Or is that now classed as art with the description saying, "Show off your visual masterpieces, doodles, comics...whatever your fancy, here." notably the "whatever"...?

Another EDIT:

How do I change my "Member Title"? or is it assigned by admin?

Yeah, might want to modernize/crunch down the media discussion forums. Dias always used enormous spreads like that; as nostalgic as it may be, ye don't get a lot of traffic in any one forum, and a bunch of empty or near-empty forums doesn't look good on a board. Dunno what to do with it precisely, though.

Also need to club whoever decided to name this place FF Lounge. Mostly on principle. Reno, get over here. Kai, toss me that stick.

So much hate going on here lol, stop whining already!



Shout box: The shout box idea can be taken out if there is a majority of people wishing to get rid of it. Whether you want it or not, we may as well start making a list of who wants it and who doesn't. Okay?

I'm not going to make a poll for it, because that's just dumb. So from here on, if you want or don't want the shout box, just give your answer in your reply. And I'll keep a tally list.



GFX Location: V, you got it right bud. That is where you will post your artsy stuff. Trying to keep things together rather than all spread out and since we're not intending for this board to be super packed with people, we're keeping it as small and concise as possible.


Like/Dislike Button:
It was added in for fun. I think there is a code to keep it from a specific forum or sub-forum. Regardless of that, why would any of you even consider using those buttons on a serious role playing topic? I'm seriously asking this because a majority of us are pretty smart and mature enough to know that those buttons should only be used in general conversation and more than likely, in spam threads.

Using that button in a role play thread is just stupid. There is no argument to considering getting rid of this feature or not when we're all adults here and know what we're doing. And why are we even bothering to ask this particular question amongst ourselves? We all know how the game is played. C'monnnn! :D



User Titles:
I added a posting limit to reach before anyone can change their user title. I felt it was a good idea at the time. However, reflecting on that now; what the hell was I thinking?
Oh well, unless anyone else objects to it, I'll keep it the same and you'll only be able to change it after reaching a minimum post count of like 50, is what I put it under, I think. It was intended to be used only for new members that didn't include the crew.

See, I wanted to say something like ..


"Why the fuck would you use the like/dislike button in a serious RP just to grief? Cause you know, that's like immaturity at its best. Why are immature people RP'ing in the first place? Shouldn't they just stick to their kindergarten playground and play in that stupid sand box?"



But then I realized that this is the internet. People like to be little immature shitheads just because they think it's the cool thing to do... cause apparently they can't be immature in real life .. or maybe they are immature in real life...



Uh but yeah, I'll go ahead and look over the code and disable it in the RP forums.

Pretty much this.

Also, Laser, bite me eh? You agreed with my point wholeheartedly in vent, at the time that only admins could actually use the shout-box, so yea, bite me.

As it stands now, perfectly alright. Keep up the good work ^_^

Yeah, this is all exactly why I don't want to be an admin for much longer. Certain people need to leave already dead/decided done topics of discussion uh, alone?

Also, vaan, you might want to put a little more thought into what you want to say, before you say it. While you made another good point, you kinda fucked it in the pooter when you used part of a post in reference to an entire post.

Now, further, take into consideration what's going on here. Staff members are discussing site development. Kind of calls for some voiced thoughts on points raised.
Personally I'd like to tell you to stfu buuut, hardly appropriate and I ..also don't care.

EVERYBODY GO SPAMRAZY! HAHAHA

Pierce was responding to a pretty gnarly misunderstanding he and I had, Kai. Pretty much my fault, it turns out, and took him by surprise. No big deal, at least for anyone else.

While I'm posting anyways, you and I should get together with Reno sometime and start hashing out the guidelines and rules for the roleplaying section. We need that done as much as we need the forum coding up to spec, ne?

To the coders: might I make a minor request? I'm used to the navigation bars, the (FFL > Gun Room > Site Progress) thing, being at both the top and bottom of any given thread. I find I rather miss having it at the bottom as well as the top, is there any way to get that back?
