I'll repeat myself...

"When will the next SmashBoards podcast be released? Seems like a while since a new one has come out.
"

Oh what! Obscure FPS reference!

We've finally gotten started on getting the ones from the topic that we want. No idea of a timeframe other than "when we finish."

....can we get a companion cube too?

 

[Crimson King]

The companion cube isn't an obscure FPS reference at all. It's adopted by the community as their god.

And yes, I agree, add it!

 

[Mic_128]

I had a couple of diferent Cube ones I was planing to use myself, might as well stick em in. For the good of all those still alive.

EDIT: And Podcast will be done when myself, Kiki and Scav all manage to have a free period. Curse life.

 

[MASAHIROx]

i think a quote count (how many time you have been quoted) would be pretty cool. It could be put under number of posts. i have bad feeling that this is close to impossible though to actually do

There's only been 4 released so far, right? Cause in iTunes, i already subscribed to the smashboards podcast and it lists only 4 podcasts done by you guys.

Got a few suggestions...

I think that the artwork emporium should have a seperate section specifically for signature shops so that people will stop making threads asking for sigs to be made when there are already threads just for that.

I also think that the image request thread is kinda pointless because it isn't that hard to search the images in google or photobucket.

Yes, there have only been 4 episodes of the SmashCast. Youko's been doing Show Me Your News for months though and hasn't missed a week, so if you're looking for Smash Bros. podcasts you still have that. It's on the blog and on iTunes too. If you haven't been listening, I really recommend it.

 

[Tubaam]

How do we change thread titles?

turn off post counts, join dates. Post Counts are pretty useless. Signatures are obnoxious, but I know they are of some use too people.

Bad suggestion.. how do you know the user's activity then? or if he's an old user or a new user? whats more, I would add a new field... "user activity" with a percentage, that way you can see if he's an active user or if it comes only to post when the dojo is updated...

 

[flaco]

tru we need user activity and information on posting also guys are you gonna make another group to chosse from.

 

[Sandy]

Will you make it so that people over 500 posts can upload attachments? I know premies can but....

 

[F8AL]

It should probably be a bigger number like any user with 1,000 posts or more can upload attachments. This is just my opinion through. :x

 

[Xsyven]

Post count rewards encourage spam. It's never a good idea to make people think high post counts are a good thing.

Yeah you're right cause a pro player here can have like 50 well-thought posts and a n00b can have like over 2,000 posts of spam.

as with every human action, I may be possibly wrong, but after a search, I couldn't find either an avatar of megaman , or an answer of why it doesn't exist, for us new users.

so, if the megaman series makes an appearance, since I saw the Rush avatar, why not to pick an standard image? I know that cool avatars can be gained with the amount of post, so asking for a cool avatar may sound noobish, but at least an standard one, not too cool, but not so bad as the rush one-

why there's not a standard megaman avatar for new users?

 

[Life Ruiner]

There is, look harder.

 

[Sourz]

no there isn't, i just checked twice.

 

[Vicious Delicious]

What is the maximum amount of characters one can have in a custom title?

 

[Mic_128]

I had

G-manning the close buton

and that was max, so...*counts*

25

Is some way to know which tournaments users (with the blue name) organize and where they are held?

If not, a topic specifying the username and tournaments they held would be very useful in order to identify them.

 

[ParamoreRiot]

How do you become a smash director?

And the same question as the one above me.

 

[F8AL]

http://www.smashwiki.com/wiki/SWF

"Tournament Directors
Main article: Tournament director
Tournament Directors having posting rights on the Calender. There they can advertise any tournaments they may be holding. Their username color is dark blue. To become a Tournament Director, either PM McFox or Gideon and tell them what kind of tournaments you host."

 

[Eight Sage]

thanks for the answer F8AL, but it didn't respond what I asked...

I know there's a calendar where tournaments dates are indicated, but I want to know the users and the tournaments they held (in the calendar there's only the date, you have to go one by one searching the user if he held a tournament)

It would be nice to see that Smash directors actually held tournaments, and we could see his activity in a thread for example. That way we can guarantee they make tournaments often, and not only for the blue username color. Just a thought.

 

[Sandy]

WTF is with my avatar? I don't have premium but I have custom avatar?

 

[F8AL]

It was aimed towards ParamoreRiot with his "How do you become a smash director?" question.

Ah... ok. Then my question will become more a suggestion. Also, it would be nice to have pictures from those encounters... I mean, I could say I held tournaments, but if you have pictures your reputation will be higher I guess.

If you refer someone,do you get any sort of commendation on your profile or something? or is it just a stat when you click on the person's profile?

 

[Knight-errant]

Where can I find a thread that explains tournament rules?

(I mean things like "counter picking," etc.) I tried the FAQ and running searches, but I couldn't find any.

I don't know if that's posible, but I'll leave that for an admin to adress.

There's just a number in your profile that goes up for each referal you get.

[SonicLuigi]

[Sourz]

Do you mean to display your sig? maybe you forgot

 

[SonicLuigi]

no i got the tags....its just that when i post up my sig i get a smaller image with a link that shows the actual size of it....

 

[Mic_128]

You grabbed the wrong code from Imageshack. You want the "Direct link to image" code.

 

[SonicLuigi]

oh well i tryed photobucket and i am sucessful!!! and sry for posting my sig in that last post

 

[SonicLuigi]

i have a new problem...
Why won't my whole sig show?? when i post it cuts some of it off (the sonic user and sonci and luigi ftw thing)
