If you owned vgchat, what changes would you make?




Posted by n64 man

I would start by upgrading to the latest version of vbulletin. Then I would get rid a few trolling members. The wacko university board would be gone. I would definitely update the layout and add some boards to the "Game Series, companies, and categories." category. And probably do a few more changes to it.

(and even if you have no interest in owning it, you can still make some suggestions as to what you would like vgchat to be like, which jesse might actually consider).

Some people might call you a troll, or might love to get rid of you!!!!! You're da only member that I have to keep unbanning!!!!! :D:D:D

And WackoHater is da last member I would get rid of!!! No WackoHater= no one to drive insane day in and day out!!! :D:D:D:D


Quoting n64 man: The wacko university board would be gone.


Then why do you live there??!!!


Quoting n64 man: I would definitely update the layout.


er, nothing is better than green, grey, orange, white, and black!!!!


Quoting n64 man: add some boards to the "Game Series, companies, and categories." category.


*cough*Final Fantasy.*cough*


Quoting n64 man: you can still make some suggestions as to what you would like vgchat to be like


If I had my way, it would be April Fools Day every day!!!!!!! *hint*



Posted by n64 man

You should move the rpg games board into the computer games board, and add a final fantasy board. Oh and wackohater doesn't help to get new members, he helps to drive new members away.

and start from scratch!

An "Archives" board would be good. Whenever the mods go on a deleting spree, they can move all the old posts & threads to that board instead of them being gone forever. There's even a mod or a setting for this.

I would also reinstall the "hp, mp, rpg" hack as well.

- Condense the number of boards.
- Upgrade vBulletin
- Modernize the layout (I actually like the color scheme, though)
- Unmod members who don't even visit the boards any more
- Get rid of the ****ty signature limitations
- Create an archive for memorable threads (it would be pretty empty)

likely ban the op once and for all

OH YEAH, TOUGH GUY?? JUST WHO YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH, HUH??


Quoting The X: - Modernize the layout (I actually like the color scheme, though)

Both good suggestions. The grey w/ green and orange links is just part of what the board is now, changing that would lose so much. And the sig limitations are too strict right now - better to allow for more images and just let moderators take care of maverick sig whores.

If it were me, I'd mostly stay the course. The only difference would be that I'd be more open to member feedback than Jesse.




Posted by Ant

idk, a full on reVAMP and reconsolidation of the boards might be the thing needed to spark some new life into this place. keep the colors, but change a lot of others things.

[QUOTE=n64 man;870729]You should move the rpg games board into the computer games board

Yes, because all RPGs are definitely computer games. Good thinking.



If I owned this site, I'd probably update it and get new members.




Posted by mis0

I would do only one thing, and that would be mod Exo so he could edit other peoples posts to say SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEN or something for all of the times he's had the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK edits.

Would you ban people for having annoyingly huge signatures? Or at least impose absurdly small sig limits on them?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Just have them back to the way they were before now. We never had any problems.




Posted by Xero

I would add other forum skins and allow members to choose which one they want to use.
I would remove the chat, the RPG Inferno and that Dragon Knight thingy.
And remove a few boards.
Make the avatar size limit bigger.

That's all I could think of for now.




Posted by maian

I only read the first post. :cookie:

In which I'm going to say, VGC is so dead compared to other message boards that the few trollers actually kind of add to the experience. =/ Trollers gotta stay.

That's stupid.

Why would you want anything bigger than Xero's? I'd ban anyone for a sig bigger than that. Go to myspace if you want a wall of "self-expression".




Posted by Xero


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: That's stupid.


Well that was an option in many forums I posted at and it was also possible at last.fm as well. I like it and I don't think it's stupid in any way, personally. Stop bashing into everything I say.



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

you're stupid




Posted by Xero

haha, yeah




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Posting in a thread that's about to get controversial.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

and nothing of value was lost




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

yeah, I agree with vamp




Posted by Speedfreak

I also agree with vamp




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

If only I was a mod

I'd edit every post and leave a trail of controversy behind me.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

not as funny as you'd think it is. too many people change it back and be big wieners about it. Which makes me want to do it more... but not enough when knowing I'm wasting my time.

Is it just me, or does any one else notice that WackoHater bashes these forums day in and day out, yet when there is a thread about making 'imporvements' to da forums, he can't even think of a single one!!! aka...he only bashes da forums as a sign of friendship!!! :D:D:D

Oh, about more than one skin....bad idea, cause people have their own font colors. Different skin colors = a ton of 'CHANE YOUR TEXT COLOR' COMPLAINTS!!!!!! :D Oh, black and grey rock!!!! :D:D:D

i would put a bsb board and a poco board
make omni moderator of music board
unban poco
make panic super moderator
poco super moderator
take off the 20 member rep thing and make it rep whenever

sounds fun. I second that.



Posted by WillisGreeny

I'll tell you jerks what I'd do. Just watch me tell you!

I'll start with the most important stuff first.
1. Allow Porn.

Next, I'd add some new boards.
Cyber sex.
How to find Mr. Wright.
What is a Muff?
exc.


Sigs would require having a fully nude pic of a girl.

Everyone's username would be changed to Whore####.

Every post will cost 2 cents to view.



And all the money would then be donated to the Christian Children's fund.

Yes, I'm a pervert.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Our spin-off forums had a porn board. Good times.




Posted by Hyper

first and foremost, i'd just like to point out that I -did- own VGC for a day or two a few years ago. now that that's out of the way:

1) demod hyper
2) can't do much else if i take my power away, can I?




Posted by Jesse Smith


Quoting Hyper: 1) demod hyper


What da wacko!!!! Are you smoking crack!!!!!!!! No one askes to de-mod themselves!!! De-moded = no power!!! And you guys love power!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Quoting Xero:

those chatrooms have very good spots on google. The Pokemon chat is no.2 when you type in "Pokemon chat". Thats actually how I found this place. The pokemon chatroom is the only place that isnt dead, and sometimes the people meet in other rooms because it gets a bit crowded.

The only thing I hate about multiple forum skins is that you can no longer use colored text; what might look okay against the background of one skin is probably unreadable against the background of another skin.

People already use unreadable colors against the default skin, so it's irrelevant.

The main things I would do would be get rid of all the unnecessary boards (aka everything under Game Series, companies, and categories) and get rid of reputation and keep comments, eliminating the need to "spread rep around" before you can comment a certain user again.



Posted by The Judge

I'd leave the site just like it is. After all, I partake in so little of it anyways, not a whole lot matters to me. It'd be nice if my posts in DA counted towards my post count, I suppose, but that's about it.

Although I still see the censors as a bit unnecessary.




Posted by Hyper

yup, definitely hide post counts, slim down the blogs to the important ones, and demod me




Posted by misogenie

I would like to see a Myth Busters thread. Members can say what myths are true or false from the the TV program, myths that have not been said or experimented. I believe this would stop members from being bored and wasting time trolling on someone's thread.

Posted by Bj Blaskowitz

I would like to see a board that does nothing but pay homage to me, and all the great things about me. Naturally, Jesse, I cannot make this thread myself, so no posting that link. Maybe a thread complimenting my grammar. Maybe another thread complimenting my wit. Additionally a thread complimenting how society and the world, in general, benefit by my breathing and making my opinions known, is in order. The last thread would be a thread vilifying all of those with whom I disagree, and the whole board (minus that person, naturally) can join in berating and ostracizing the person with as many references to blatant homosexuality and small IQ. This would be a fine addition to the boards.

I'd also like a board encouraging Iris and Dexter's sister to fight over me, via tapioca wrestling.

These are my suggestions. BJ has spoken.




Posted by ExoXile

"Small IQ?"

I do believe you meant low Q8.




Posted by Bj Blaskowitz

I suppose. But the adjectives "low" and "small" can be used interchangeably here, as a number that is LOW can also be called a number that is SMALL, thus a "small IQ" isn't technically wrong. :P

I'm fairly sure his whole shtick was "WELL IM LEAVING IF U DELETE THE SIM BOARD. IM A VALUED MEMBER". Honestly i don't ever recall contributing anything outside of the sim battle board until talks came up of deleting it.

So what did the mods do? make an anime loving high school dropout a supermod.

The only thing I'd change id to demod all the regular mods. We really don't need them.
