I like that ranking system that you can get by posting. Or all out making you happy Doan. But You should make it so that pnly certain ranks can do certain things. That way people will be urged to come here more... I'd do that....

That's a good idea, but what "certain things" would certain ranks be able to do? If you (or anyone else) can come up with some good ideas, I would be happy to implement them. By the way, it's set up to increase your rank after a certain number of posts. Right now, the more posts you have, the more prestigious your title will be.
You'll see,

for instance the help system... If you made it that only people ranks with 1-2 could access that then people would only be able to ask questions, view the Archives or ask suggesttions. to talk about your game or theirs 3-4... this is just a statement I have no intention for you to use these

Two problems with that idea. First of all, I'm trying to encourage people to become members and post. If they can't get help or talk about their games until they have a certain rank, how are they supposed to get those posts they want? I think this will only prevent people from joining or chase them away. Let me ask you, didn't you post about your game before you were Rank 3?
Secondly, the proboards system does not allow me to do that even if I wanted to. I can make separate categories (like Main Forums, Technical Forums, and there are two additional ones that you can't see right now), but I can't make individual forums that only certain members can see.
I'm still open to other ideas, though,

;D I know! I was just trying to make this topic seem like people were actually in it. So you could get better ideas thats whyb I put " I have no intention for you to use these..." I hope you get some solid ideas though. My ideas suck... But hey! By next week my rank should be the highest it can be cuz' I come to your site like 20 times a day... Thats how good a freind you are to me...

this forum doesnt need to look like it has traffic. its an announcements forum.
ideally, doan and i should be the ones to use this forum the most, and we shouldnt have to do it that often. ill do it to make a public 'this is how ive updated the boards' and doan will use it for site and board info.
if board members are posting here, that means there are alot of suggestions, meaning that the boards arent that great, which would be no good.
that being said, be sure to suggest anything that you think would actually improve the forums, and is at least remotely feasable.
and doan, i could do the rank thing hes talkin about w/ some code, if you actually wanted to do it. doesnt seem like theres much sense in it to me.

okay... I got it... But other than just lookin spiffy what are the ranks for?

Post by Doan the Nado on Oct 14, 2004 22:40:59 GMT -5
Um... just for looking spiffy. Just like at any other board.
This forum doesn't have to be exclusively suggestions for the board, as suggestions for my website are fine, too. I mainly intended it to be like, "Hey, your pictures seem kinda messed up to me on the Screenshots page," or "It might be a good idea to switch the links around so that the Message Boards link is at the bottom of the list." I don't want this topic to be a place where people demand updates. I will make updates when I get the time.
I will make posts in this forum whenever I have updated my website, so if you'd like to just bookmark my message board and then check out my site whenever I announce a new update, you won't miss anything at all.
To vespuleth: I think the way the forums are accessed and posted on right now is just fine. I don't see a need to have forums accessible to only certain ranks at this time.
Your suggestions are considered and appreciated,
Doan the Nado

I really hope this post belongs here because you guys are real strict about it.. But, as you can see I'm almost 5 star. I honestly can't wait to see wat happens when Rank hits 5. Will that mean I'll be just as good as Ves? or will the other members like me always be below Ves. I know nobody can become better than you.. Also, I realized your colors change once your 5. if you haven't already done this. Can you make so that even if you have 5 stars your stars begin changing colors 5 times before they switch to a new color and then your color goes to blue. The color Ves has. That would make people dedicated like me work harder to match your ranks. I'm gettin up there watch out VES!

ummm... good as in what? i have 5 stars because im staff. if thats what your asking:
yes, in a sense. dont think of it as being below me. you are not 'not as good' or whatever, but i am on staff, both as a moderator, and as a 'programmer' of sorts on the boards.
your stars dont change color when you get 5. mine and Doans star colors are identifiers of our staff positions. the members stars, unless changed by me or doan, are yellow, as far as i know. ill do some tests to find out for sure...
see above
in a sense, mine and doans ranks are not matchable. unless of course, doan needs more staff. that is a decision left entirely up to him. our position isnt even on the rank hierarchy.
