It would be so much easier to keep track of the RPG forum if we had a Sign Up forum and a forum for the RPG's themselves. It's quite a pain of keeping track of SU's when people sign up in the middle of the RPG. I actually might consider creating an RPG if y'all would separate it.
|
1 – ElaineAlright, I should be able to add a board for registration and characters. Way back when, like in 2008 or 2009, I created the board just for us to have simple role-plays that didn't really need much character introduction. As its needs have expanded, I think, yes, that adding another board will be to its advantage.
6 – Elaine, The Spirit of Time, FreezeWarp, 7dewott8, Shadow, RK-9Somewhat related to the previous suggestion, but when/if the RolePlaying board becomes more popular, it would be a good idea to have it as its own board; rather than a subforum under the Forum Games.
Almost every other forum l've seen has a similar setup like that, and it could also attract more potential RPers if it appears more noticable.

6 – Ningamer, Shiny, Leaftail, Kaorto, RK-9, 11Trident11I don't quite recall this suggestion ever being shot down, so I'm bringing it back 'cause I'm quite interested in it, and I think others might be.

Has anyone every considered starting up an ASB (Anime Style Battling) board? I was just surfing about the internets, and I figured that setting up our own ASB board would potentially bring us a lot of members. It would be quite awesome too of course.
Just in case you havent heard of ASB, heres some links: http://alteredorigin.net/asbguide http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/foru...d.php?t=111378 |
1 – ElaineAlright.
Although it really requires its own board to be run properly, I'll try and set it up like you stated.
2 – Elaine, FreezeWarpIn an earlier post, Cat had said it could be a possibility in the future.
|
l won't be allowing custom usertitles at the moment, but maybe l will in the future. The Japanese thing is pretty clever.
|
1 – Leaftail|
How about some new default avatars? The one i had to choose from at first when i first joined kinda suck.
|

|
Oh, well can we make a board for Pokemon analysis or something? Maybe people will come here, and not smogon for movesets if we do. It doesn't have to be a whole board, but maybe a sub-forum for battling and trading.
|
|
So, the first one is where we could do analysis?
And the 2nd is for Pokemon of the week? |
Just to add to what Cat said, Victory News also has its section in which a certain Pokémon gets analyzed both in-game and competitively. It has been shut down since May as those who are responsible for it were busy, but hopefully it will come back soon.
1 – AuraKshatriyaHeh, I'd like to do a podcast, where a few staff members come together and just talk about completely unrelated things. Like, we have no particular subject and we just sit around and laugh.
Or just generally voice-chatting with other forum members, it's tons more fun than talking via text.
3 – Jaredvcxz, PokeRemixStudio, 11Trident11You guys plan on editing the description of the Fun board?
Currently it says:
| Posting in these boards does not increment your post count. |

3 – PHANTOMxTRAINER, LucarioMario, 11Trident11As much a I'd love having a button to reverse accidental likes, it might not happen, because it's a third-party mod.
1 – RK-9This: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=243511
It's any modification to the forum software made by someone else.
|
Would it be possible to fix the youtube embedding issues the forums are having? I keep hearing complaints about videos not embedding and showing a white box instead.
|
|
That's because people post the whole URL rather than just the video code, for example:
[YOUTUBEWIDE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwzHN_TiPfo[/YOUTUBEWIDE] will create a white box while [YOUTUBEWIDE]kwzHN_TiPfo[/YOUTUBEWIDE] will show the video. Unless you mean on the chat, in which case... Get Freeze on that. |
There exists this board: http://victoryroad.net/forumdisplay.php?f=42
This = good thread:
http://victoryroad.net/showthread.ph...142#post197142
Thread is not against rules.
Thread makes good points.
Thread encourages good debate.
...Message "If you like Pokémon stop complaining" = highly annoying, not appropriate, and heavily biased. People who like Pokémon are right to complain, neigh, criticize. People who like Pokémon are interested in Pokémon's future.
(Yeah yeah yeah, yell at me for posting in this thread. Not like another one is clearly marked; the alternative was bothering Cat, which doesn't seem appropriate.)

You know i wanted to try and host a halloween tourny next. Maybe someone help me or i can be the person to give away a prize to the winner for said tourny.

Again, this is not the most ideal place for this kind of conversation. Contact Cat333Pokémon and Ditto616 with the details of your suggestion and their feedback would be the most important. Try this place too, as this group governs tournaments' selection.
|
1 – Cat333PokémonI'm up for advertising another tournament as long as I remember. It's been a while since our last one.
1 – JCI was trying to change my title( the black letters under your name) but I couldn't find a place to change it, which I guess means you can't have a custom title. Why not? This is the only forum I've been on that doesn't let you do that. I'd rather have that than the name of the Pokemon I am.

I'm wondering about this: What do you think about making things dated today have the date of "Today" instead of "actual date", and things dated yesterday have the date of "Yesterday"? It was confusing me a lot when it comes to dates - I like to think things in relative terms when it's very recent.
This also means that I'll know whether a forum topic is updated recently without looking at the date.
Also, fix this into sorted by last post time descending order. For some weird reason it's set to thread title alphabetical ascending.

A poll would be useless if there is no option to actually allow people to set their date style themselves.
Just searched for mods. Nothin'. |
|
Actually, I meant a poll where people decide on the site-wide setting for date display.
Whoa! Seems like no one was addressing this quirk, huh? |
|
Ah, I see. That would work, but I would like to ask that it still remain the American style (in the order of month, day, year) if we keep the current fashion due to most of visitors being American and because that is where the site is based.
I did find this, but it's hideously out of date and for an old version of vBulletin: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97469 |
|
I wonder whether it's possible to... make the "Show Full" button not appear on signatures that actually fits?
|
|
Already in planning to remove that entirely (and change the signature rules) due to a lot of people hating the scrolling mess.
I'm not sure how to work those menus, but I'll consider that for after the software update (as it's in the changed files). |
1 – Cat333Pokémon|
Yes, it should be a smooth upgrade, but I know that some of the modified files will need to be modified again, so I will need to prepare the list of changes before starting the update. Of course, I'll just leave off little "tweaks" that a certain ex-admin did.
|
|
What would be the little "tweaks" that you're talking about? If I'm not wrong, these "tweaks" would be removed after the upgrade, no?
|
|
Yeah, they were. That admin cut corners by not even making things into plugins at times.
I know. General Nintendo talk doesn't belong on the news feed. |
|
Yeah, he actually modified the source code instead of "hooking" into it via a plugin.
|
Ah yes, I didn't want height to go over 100 pixels, as I really am not a fan of excessive scrolling on a site based mostly around text, but given that there exist many 4:3 and 3:2 images, I decided to make it significantly wider.
The people that are listed but marked "offline" when you view their profiles are currently on the chat. That was broken sometime a few months back.

This is just wrong. When we have more people viewing a category than people online, something's not right.
But what are we gonna do about it? I'm not sure what we could do about this.
The only reason why I'm concerned is because might join this forum for the wrong reason. Unless we limit something, there are going to be people joining this forum only because of the Internet Madness section.
1 – 7dewott8|
If they are going to join just to spam nonsense, they need to go somewhere else. That's what ***** is for, not Victory Road.
|
3 – zsaberslash, 7dewott8, NingamerRegarding the "21 viewing," it appears like it was just a harmless search engine spider forking its processes so it could cover more ground indexing more pages at once. It's nothing to be worried about.
As of now, there is a limit of 100 posts per page.
