I had no idea staff was going on vacation. lol. Well Albosky, why not find someone who works on the side re-fitting phpbb3 with what ever you've done with your magical fingertips? Perhaps a side project? I know your thinking this already, but just making it public. Albosky, are you the only staff who knows phpbb as much as you know? Perhaps finding someone to help with the phpbb then?

Oh no, not that. I was just wondering what you meant by blank board? I think what you entitled in your paragraph solves a lot, but I don't know what you mean by blank boards?

It is released, but not in a bug free way. In the initial stages of a program, there are a lot of version changes (which can damage data you already have in it). It's best to wait for a while after something is released. Yes, the reason I said it wasn't released, because beat versions are running around. I just hope they put the actual version out soon. So many things to do. ^^

Thanks Aaron on posting that. However, I don't quite get your 'radical idea', could you...go more on that?I'm intrigued by the idea.

Wakka's at work. Lets have a laugh at him, in his uniform. LOL Sorry, had to. =/

Isn't that phpbb3? Yes, we shouldn't do too much drastic things, before tip it knows what it consists of. But albosky said himself, 'if a transfer data to data portal is on it, then tip it won't bother switching.' The example version said: Well, nothing tbh, that I could see relating to this.-.- But, I do think if a transfer portal is on it, then changing templates wouldn't be that big of a deal. but it is best to wait. So I'm against this until we get that phpbb3. Although it could take awhile to be released.^^

Hmm albosky uses it all the time when he hates my ideas. :lol: *runs* It still doesn't mean to get rid, or update it. I like it how it is. Probably many others do. I'm pretty sure 1k members will get very angry and start wars in here. I think its best to keep it, sorry sith. :boohoo: lol, i know why albosky does that, its quite exhilarating. lol.

Devoted, I know what it means to be a mod, and I very well know how much of a hassle it is be to move everything, and to have someone re-post. I've had my share of that. you reply goes on to your personal view, of which you will explain a mod and a mod's hassle, which would be fulfilling to me, if I didn't know what the mods had to do, to get things done. I understand completely, but they also understand what they get into when they accept the mod position(and no offense to mods, I know your humans and have limits on what you can do, hence the stress, but you are entitled to help the forums). Everyone uses a negative sub-forum as an excuse to sub-forums. I've heard no negative things about OT and the video game sub-forum, or the market, or the player made-guides, and even rate this. Sub-forums are easy to use, and understand. New users are the ones who post in Help & Advice(And yes 20% is moderate to older users, I've even posted in it like 20-30times), and thats why they are posting there. Imagine the chaos it would be w/o the sub-forum. Remember to ask yourself, why you made that sub-forum, and did it help with its objective? Yes, I believe they do. If you take them out, the objective will return. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Devoted when you say the board is good where it stands, this board is 6 categories down, and thats enough to prove its buried, rather then in a good spot. I believe the forum here, should be moved, and be advertised that is visible, but not greatly seen by new users. This forum took me 3 weeks to actually look at, when I first joined. By then I had read almost every stickied topic(tbh there are some I haven't read), I did feel it in myself, to post on here, but I grew greatly bored of it. Until I actually found out that this place has a higher mature level then OT(I'm serious-.-). This forum needs the attention of users, they need to know that if they find something missing, they go here, not gp2p, not general, not help and advice. In those 3 weeks, if i had known about this forum, I would have posted many things. Half of those hadn't been suggested, most of the others were older discussed topics, 2 or 3 were things to do with the site. I know many are concerned with how this board may turn into. but I am greatly suggesting mods are put onto this forum. Look at general and gp2p. Combine the spam in there and put it here. Then cut half of the topics in half posted per day. Thats my estimation on activity here after 4 weeks. then it will die down, almost nearly returning to normal. If mods are put onto this forum, it won't have a negative effect. Mods here will keep it down to the minimum. To add something you must make a sacrifice. If negative things keep popping up, and aren't dealt with, example: move forum-too much attention, too many noobs(basically)-so make that sacrifice go away, by adding something to it. Sub-forums don't work-users post in the actual forum, fix by implementing something to fix this. I really hope problems that grow on a suggestion to get fixed, or else they'll keep piling up. Yes, I know some suggestions will be so good, that the problem thats built on it, will be ignored(that's why I'm here lol), and chaos will come out of it, and it'll be removed, then 3-4 weeks later its suggested again with a new approach. It's a cycle I don't want to see. How to fix these problems? I don't know, maybe those extra members that may come here, may oddly point it out.

I see. although, I still think they should be used, even to the mods of the hassle it is. How about besides just deleting the topic, and warning them, take action onto their account, if they aren't new users, and such. Because if the whining(not talking just about the mods) would stop about sub-forums, a lot could be down, and not so much would be restrained.

Offcourse it shoulnd be obtained by postcount or how long you've been on the boards. The 'Senior Tip It' rank would mean a respected, active member of the community, by respected and active i mean : mature posts, understandable English, etc. That is if it's ACUTALLY going to be entered. Yes, I forgot to mention that. If it isn't made by those and other certain traits, the senior tip.it member and other ranks do signify and represent the admins/mods, and staff of tip it, if a immature poster were to be promoted by somehow, that image would be expressed, and a great disappointment would go into effect. So if its impossible to create ranks by hand picked, I suggest not doing it at all.

They probably would, and should be. Some kind of auto turn into this rank from this one, isn't acceptable. If you did that, undeserving users would be promoted. These 'special' ranks should be hand-picked only, by admins, and mods. If not, a group, that has exp in promoting users would change them, or give their names off to the admins/mods who would then debate on who and who gets changed. Then almighty albosky works his magic. Also only a limit of 0-5 should be changed per month... and that means 5 may not be chosen, 0 may be chosen to be promoted as well.

Nope, nothing has been done, seams like whoever is suppose to look at style suggestion topics needs to get off there lazy butt. Oh really? then I got a few words to say then: Subportal is already put on isn't it? SubSilver is ugly>.> SunIce is nice and should be put on, and with a variety of colours. the last two...don't live up to tif standards. :boohoo: <- - - Pokem that smily is for you, lol. If those are put on, after a poll may be done, different colour choice of each one should be an option as well. A poll as said before should be done too. And if the ones I said negatively about are passed, it better be by the community, because those truely are not the standard, nor the feel of tif.

Poke, yes smilees are missing, that violin one is used a lot, i think I see it everyday tbh-.-. But the smilees have some kind of tif essence on them. And adding some more to them may through that essence off, or make them under-used... If more are put on, they better be by a community poll.

Isn't this an old topic, and a poll already has been put up and done with...or not?

Can someone give me a like 4-5 sentences of why a sub-forum is bad, awful, and whatever else has been said? If sub-forums are so bad, then why doesn't someone improve them for they're good, and usable, because sub-forums are very useful at almost anytime. Rather then mods, admins, and users complaining about them. I don't see whats wrong with sub-forums? :-s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This board being a sub-forum at the top of the forum would get viewed more, and tif would probably get a lot more spam here, but on the ratio of spam to good suggestions, we'd also get a lot more suggestions. I think making more work in this forum, for better and more suggestions is well worth it. Like whomever said, one or two topics per week are spam, well 7-9 others are good ones, and about 2 every three weeks are considered further. If we increased the advertisement, I'm pretty sure a lot more good would come from moving it. I know that moving it would create more spam, meaning more work. And to global mods/admins, thats a burden on their shoulders, plus the 6 tons already on there. But that shouldn't stop you from missing the fact of what I've stated. Make mods that look after this forum, improve the advertisement of the stickies(on all forums). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know if this is possible, my knowledge of scripts end at javascript, and CSS, but how about making the three stickies appear in a sort of pop-up box, and once you've read them, that box no longer would appear. Of course the box would have an exit button, but after reading the stickies it tells you to read, it goes away?

kill, I really can't make the ranks such as rank meat, or bear fur, or the other higher level rank names an actual rank...Senior tip.It member sounds a bit more..what you said 'special'. Senior Tip.Iter, shouldn't be obtained by how long you've been on these boards btw. Yes, rate this would become more fun, but I still disagree that it'd be a turnoff to the community who can't/ won't post pictures for various reasons.

gl splat. Thsoe who guess what skill wakka may next do, I think wakka wouldn't want to do a skill that'd he have to buy a whole bunch of stuff. I'd much rather think wakka would do a skill he has materials for, or the most materials out of other materials. =/

just a game...Rs>Life. Good Luck on earning it all back and more!

That stinks. =/ losing one gp involuntarily, espcailly to a hacker, is a great loss, and there is no set standard. sorry man=/

I don't think wakka needs to do a bank though. Nothing imo would have changed with his bank, that drastically now that I think about it?

Gratz on that 700total there. Gl on future goals. Btw, thanks for making me that rune warhammer<3

I'm pretty sure you can't do 20-23k alchs in 5-6 hours... I can re-main hopeful, and supportive, no matter how much negative comments you reply back -.- Seriously I got my work cut out for me with you.

Not at all. Look at debate forum. ;)

If you stay on for 5-6 more hours, you'll have lvl 99. ^^

I told you, pc, zps... congratz nub!@!@
