Forum Options.
I think they should add more forum options and stuff,:) maybe you could put a pic or something where it says how many post or since when.And a rank?for how many post you posted :p

any other suggestions??
Suit u sir could be General of Army. I could be a General.
Ermmm how bout no :p...kidding yeah that would be cool but can i be captain or the leader or w/e cause i said it!! lol:)
guys ..this topic has already been done..
FlyOrDie have plans in the future for a new and more modern forum with ranks for how many posts you make etc...
Mr.bluze made it..have a quick search ;) gl
in my opinion i cant wait for the new forum to be released :)
You got that rank idea off the the Bluze dude.
>>>Anyway, the legend that is 
dshk
, says that the forum software is going to be replaced, and it may well incorporate Bluzes idea of the meadals and ranks things. I would like the idea of a signature, below your posts. 
>>We will have to see what happens...

>-Suit
And maybe an edit button, so you can make minor adjustments to your post, 4-5 minutes after it has been posted. 
Yeah maybe this topic has been done...but i dont see it here unless i look in the search.I didnt copy off 
Mr.
 
Bluze
 or whoever i saw with my 
OWN EYES
 at other sites which i thought looked cool!:p:D


I like the idea but some people might make pointless posts just to get a high rank. I know it is stupid but i know some people on FOD who would definetly do that.....*certain people come to mind*
Like me. I post things that are totally pointless. But now I have reached 100 posts, I will make my posts more interesting and muscular :p
suit do you know the difference from 
100
 to 
1,000
? well i do  and it looks like you have over 
100
! but too bad u didnt have only 
100
 posts hehe :p
oh and no wonder suit wants that were u can correct ur post!! lmao :D
funny dude...
See? It's happening right now, right here..... ;\
no not really ur psot is :p but n e ways!
Likelikelikeomg get stuffed. 
>>>I could have put another post correcting my error, but I that would be unnessary spamming, and I thought that most intelligent people would know what I meant and wouldnt make a big deal. Eyeball.

-Suit
Don't you think ranks is a little sad to say the least? It's bad enough having a few people like suit whose dreaming is to get the most posts. Imagine other players actually making posts, spamming, talking nonsense just so as to challenge for ranks? 

A picture under the name is a great idea!
"Likelikelikeomg get stuffed."
 

^ouchie that hurted^ :p 
NOT!
 suit u meanie!:p


Euan
...I understand ur point, but maybe they could set up a post 
limit
 or somthing?:) 
What's the point in having a post limit?

Essentially there already are ranks on the forum, and I know people spam the boards to get their post count up.  If the new forum is one of the 'usual' brands (php, invision, etc) it should be far easier to control who is doing what and stop people from spamming to get higher rankings.

It's going to take some work to get the current data to speak to the new forum, but I'm sure someone who gets paid far too little money and spends too much of their day staring at a computer monitor is working on this problem as we type.
Well 
I
 don't see a reason for ranks because after all we are here for the games not the fourm. If you all are lookin for some kind of "rank" there is that in the games and thats what we are here for. If you are here for the fourms then, well,I can't understand you.
Alrighty then how bouts somthing for the 
mods
...instead them haffin to write "
FlyorDie
 Moderator
)" at the bottom.:)
>>>When I posted about ranks I felt not only does the number of posts count but also the quality of the post. A quality post could not only count towards a rank but also could be awarded a medal of some sort. Also maybe the number of replys to particular post could be entered into the equation. For example if a persons post had over lets say 20 replys the author's promotion could be accelerated,30 replys acellerated higher, and so on. Negative or usless post could possibly "bust" someone down. If it is set up it should be to help improve the Forum.
>>> You are correct LIKELIKELIKEOMG it is done in other forums I did not think of it on my own. If you go to this post you can see the responces I recieved [img=

 I thought that some other people had some excellent contributions on the subject.
>>> For those who oppose the idea remember it is all in fun. As I have mentioned before I would like to have this rank [img=

Errmmm 
not to be rude
 
Mr.Bluze
 but those in the thread look something to do with "
Tanx
" not the whole Forum.(
they did look pretty good by the way
:p)

>>Maybe they can make different ones for different parts of the site!:D
I think that bluzes idea could work over the entire site. However Billiards players dont have "ranks", they could have balls instead, and the chess players could have ranks like "Grandmaster" etc...
>>> 
DITTO
 
your thoughts suit u sir and LIKELIKELIKEOMG. There all kinds of ways FOD could give ranks. The Pool Ball is a good one or how about names of famous Pool players like Minnesota Fats and so on? In chess like you said suit "Grand Master" or maybe how about Chess pieces like ranking from Pawn to King?
 All this thinking has made me hungry for some [img=
