Now I have no say in any site/forum related matters, but I got to thinking today about the Town and the Palace and how long it's been since there have been any real updates. Granted, we are still a small community but it appears we have a fairly solid base of Townies who are continuing to return day after day despite all the craziness that sometimes goes on in these boards.
I don't know if there are any plans to update the site's appearance and whatnot, but I thought it would be fun to discuss new looks for this place if we had the ability to do so. Also, what kinds of features would you add to the site? Monthly contests, perhaps? If so, what kind? More smilies? A section in the Palace for video tutorials maybe?
Remember, this is all pure fantasy. Just something I started daydreaming about while driving the highways up here. I think what really got me thinking about this was one time, years ago, there was a store in the Town where you could purchase items using points earned from making posts. The Jacket, I believe, was in charge of all that, and it was quite fun. You could earn interest every week or so. Some of the items would let you change the forum skin for a day, and someone had changed it to a black and white cow skin, if I remember correctly. Actually, that might have been even before my time. But there was another instance where the skin was changed.
Anyway, the store/bank/point system is something I think would be fun to have back, as well as an updated forum appearance, and maybe a "face palm" smiley for ssbfan
Being able to ADD more icons isn't a bad idea, but I do love the ones we have so far...and maybe we could earn points to trade between ourselves for things, as well? Such as...
Emanzi helps me by giving me a character sheet edit, so I give Emanzi 5 points.
...and then have it do some random thing on the forums, or be able to buy games to play in the forums using the points. And get our high scores saved and posted as well...
Just adding to the discussion. 'Sides the "more reason to spend time here? :D" aspect, I like the forums just how they are.
btw, Meu, here's your BIG YELLOW MARKER.
Trent saw you naked.
