...not gonna say anything...
 
...i guess meiscool would be okay if given more power, since I've joined, I've notice a decline in how much they yell at me.
Just voicing opinion, don't yell at me

Uploaded to my own webspace to retain formatting. I haven't summoned Alex yet. Any final comments?

[Dragonium]

Comment: Everything looks good.

Question: How long will these changes take to make?

[Osmose]

If they get approved, a few months if we make sure we do it right. The smaller features and requests can be done fairly quickly, but adding in a games section, unifying the site, etc. those are a bit bigger. A lot of the time in the beginning will be spent figuring out how Charas works presently: Before anyone even thinks about editing it they have to know what they're editing so that they don't break it.

I can't really give a timeline when the plan hasn't even been approved. I tried to make it clear earlier in the thread that it all hinges on Alex's agreement. *crosses fingers*

I swear, are you that strongly against post previewing?

[Osmose]

  Whoops.

[Meiscool-2]

What about ZKX's idea that's been quoted and supported by 4 members, not including himself?

[Osmose]

That one about mods? That's up to the head admin.

F'real though.


Seriously...Im not saying "MAKE ME A MOD"
but in reality, the regular Crack-like addicted charas personalities
could definatly help things out if they had some acess to the workings of it all. Like Some sort of a dumbed down bonk. Or Lazer Guns. Or the power to smite cities with the wrath of METAL!

[Osmose]

Okay, people, one more time: MOD APPOINTMENTS ARE UP TO THE HEAD ADMIN. WHEN ONE IS APPOINTED, YOU CAN BRING YOUR COMPLAINTS TO THEM.

I looked at the final list thing you posted, Osmose. I think Cafepress.com is a good choice for the merchandise, if we plan to do that. We could have a contest where a bunch of members make up designs for different t-shirts, mugs, sweaters or whatever and we pick the best five designs for each category. Or something like that.

I think that "THE ABILITY TO LOCK YOUR OWN TOPICS" would be sweet. It would prevent some topic kicking as well.

Not to mention, after a request was filled, on could Lock the topic, or Mark it "Completed".....Move it to the Junk bin, or a Resolved-topics forum
