Jumpman is Mario, the green guy is Pitfall Harry. Know your video game history, it's probably more important than what some spanish ponce did on a boat god-knows-when. 

The moon icon in particular is useless, as is the counterstrike icon (I mean wtf?). The pig is pretty crap too.

Admit it, the whole bees thing is a damn sight more relevant to this forum than whatever most of the other icons represent. 

might have been used had our community opened up and covered other games like orginally intended. We still on occasion would brush on Half-Life maps that were released and we still cover Cube releases. Adding a few new features to the board would be nice anyways. Personally, and I know you all hate them, but avartars when done right can be cool. As evidence I point to Qmap. It's just another way to add a little something of yourself to the board.

Personally in a functionality standpoint this board has always done what it needed to fine, but why not spice it up a little. We've been through what, 2 versions of the QBoard, serveral Peej'n'Fribs, then a couple Qmaps, then to the FuncBoard. I think it's time for a bit of a revamping, just to keep things new.

Now I'll just sit here patiently and wait to be flamed. 

 

Actually, I agree. I like boards that allow usage of avatars. Just impose a reasonable size limit on the images and it should work fine. 

AND SIGNATUIREZ!!!! 

WITH TEH HUMORIS QUOATS IN THEM!!!111!!! 

... while you're at it: Make the content area wider so I can post big, uncompressed screenshots! Avatars have to be animated GIFs with at least 200 colors! And I definatly want a thread rating system! OMGTHATWOULDROCKZ0R!!!1 

I hate signatures.

I personally don't care for singatures either. And in this website, it wouldn't be needed. But you could add maybe a 40x40 avartar shot right next to the Title and post number line on each post.

I'm not asking anyone to turn this into a board like doom3world.org or anything, but just some settle changes could really maybe add a bit of fun to the place.

Also what about a search function. Or more advanced profile stuff, like listing the actual threads started by the user. Maybe the last 5 posts from that partiular user. There is just a lot of little stuff that could be added to the site that could make it different. I particularlly liked the idea Peej had going with a skinable interface. I'm not saying that is nessacary at all, but that kind of thinking is great. Peej wanted to make the board as individual as you wanted, as customized as you wanted. I wish that kind of mentality would be used here a little thats all.

And no, I'm not living in the past or looking for another Qmap, just something a little different. 

more alternatives to viewing threads other than just all, all new ones and last 25 or at least the option to see all posts in a thread but split into multiple pages. 

was a good suggestion though 

search and multiple pages for long threads. that is all. 

after seeing Qmap3 with avatars and sigs, I'm convinced that if they're ever added here, I will leave and make my own damn board. 

metlslime, please don't add avatars or signatures. I hate them. This board is very nice already. Probably some icon changes would really be good and more complex profile also, but nothing more.

Let this board stay as goos as it is atm 

And it would be nice to have the browsing options be a little more friendly to people who only check the site infrequently. ("342 new posts? Sod that.")

But I understand that metlslime is also hard at work bringing us a video game based on a movie which is based on a book. 

do actually have a to-do list for this site which i haven't had much time for... but it includes search, and paged thread views, and stuff. 

stuff

I forgot to mention it, but that's actually the feature I'm most looking forward to. 

...bees 

I think every time you load the main page it plays a Metallica MIDI and has a link to every user's Livejournal. 

How about ad's? Great big ones that use flash that covers half the page and can't be closed. And one of those cute java things that follow your mouse around. You could make it a swarm of bee's. 

Anyone tried/use the downloadable 64bit windows xp? I'm wondering how it runs and/or how buggy/useable it is, as I just got some new athlon64 stuff setup today. 

You guys should be discussing mapping, not mapping message boards. 

Lun: dune mod done yet?
