Best feature of the new forum?
 

We've had time to think about this important issue now, and we've reached the juncture where opinions should be stated.

So vote.

And tell us about it.

Polls. Definitely the polls. Adds an extra dimension to the vacuous nonsense that gets talked here.

it has to be the ability to ignore annoying posts/people

one click and they disappear from your (own particular) universe

kinda like what i do every day w/ ashlee simpson (?)

hah

2nd has to be forum sections. keeping the drama confined to a single post is awesome.

ah, i should change my vote to put this first. too late!

I dig the ignore function too. No more Marley!

Any excuse, eh?

I went for polls, surprisingly. :rolleyes:

Precisely. Even the most inane of topics acquires a certain gravitas when backed up with statistics.

I like the polls.

I also enjoy the way you can make it look like the old forum.

i like how i can actually implement people's suggestions now that i have control over the board's code.

I like everything.

God...A bit confusing at first glance..

Hi there!

i love polls

not sure yet what the best thing is about this board... but it's better than the old board for sure.
the worst thing of the new board are the lame smilies i guess.

although this board is very good with all its new features etc, i do prefer the old board. it was much simpler.

The Avatars

I do know what you mean actually. I still have great affection for the set-up there, but what helped me switch totally to here (and come to appreciate it fully) was all the bitterness and nastiness that took over the old board once this one was here. I love ithere now, and the polls and forum sections are excellent stuff, I think.

i would also like to add that it helps me avoid some of the most irrelivant and annoying baord members and their boring retorical threads about the mundaness of life.

the flipside to this doudle edged swordcoin is that i miss some of the people who's opinion i would like to see.

I'm a HUGE fan of the quote function.

I would ignore those I find annoying, but I feed off their disease. I find that my senseless hatred keeps me sharp in my everyday existence.

Me too. I tried not to leave anything really good out, but this should have been in, no question.


I think, ultimately, the ignore function will be little used, as people kind of enjoy the banter they indulge in with posters they dislike. If I'd used the ignore function, I would have missed out on at least one very big, derisive laugh.


That is quite good for a bit of nostalgia.

I don't even get how reputation points work. Do you just stay at ten?

I don't get that fully either.

Are there prizes to be had?

That's what I'm saying!

And does it tell you when people take points away from you?

Okay Hip Priest, you're a test subject. I'd give you points anyway, cuz you're cool like that, but I'm going to give you some now, and tell me if it raises your point count.

go for it. Anyone giving me points deserves some, so I'll sort you out too.

Well? Did it work?

I didn't get a flashing notice or anyrthing, but it's appeared on the list.

Still says 10 though. Weird.

Prize: I'd like three little gold stars above my avatar, for starters.

Yeah, doesn't seem to increase the number.

I want a free pen. Black please, medium point, and retractable.

I love pens.

I've got lots of pens spare, you should have said earlier.

Three little gold stars, and every time I log in, a messgae to appear telling you all that I'm here. And band autographs, too, on a copy of that photograph of them on the staircase.

I think your arrival should also be accompanied by audio fanfare.

Update: chabib's test points worked, and I noticed the green box next to his was lit, whereas the others are not. So how do you get that to work?

Oh, and please remove those chabib, I can't bear to have unearned reputation points haha

i may have fixed it you guys should try it out.

Ooh, I didn't know you can't give points to the same person twice in a row.

chabib, you have to take back those test points, they're making me feel cheap

Mine still says ten points total. Don't know if that's relevent.

I have the same problem, and I got 3 reputation points recieved already

because you weren't given points, just comments.

Everything's better, but I chosen Forum Sections

also, the person giving/taking points has to have at least 20 posts before their reputation posting actually assigns points.

Unless I'm mentally handicapped, it doesn't appear as though you have the option to give points.

Ooh, somebody took some of mine away! Ha ha ha ha

holy hell some people have more post then i had in the old board
sonic freaks!
