We've pretty much run out of colors that aren't similar :(

not to mention we'd have to make an entire other usergroup. that needs to be avoided if possible.

Is there a light that goes off somewhere that alerts all moderators when I make a post? Because my topics seem to get closed really fast.

Flaco you've been here long enough and been told at least once that this is a Q&S for the FORUM.

And yes, if you're sick go to the doctors. Same way you go to the dentist if your teeth hurt or the optometrist if you cant see well.

Kiki has just bumped up the search time/results to 15 seconds/1000 max results. Changing the minimum character limit requires we rebuild the entire search index, which is incredibly time consuming and if i remember right, requires a fair bit of forum downtime.

No idea about number 3 or 5 but I'll check with kiki.

How do I get certain details from My Details to show up on my profile? Like My Biography.


Actually, I have another question as well. If I were to get an infraction, would I be able to tell, and is there a place to view infractions I've got?

shared ownership of a thread would be a good idea if its not too diff to do.

is that possible?

for threads such as pr placement, would it be possible to add an option where only certain ppl could post or is that pretty much the same way groups work?

Not possible.

Smashbrosmelee is .... down, I guess. That's another "MLG tech has to do it" thing.

You can get your details to show up by typing something in that field, and you can view your infractions under your User CP or your own profile, AFAIK.

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but. Was the premium memberships idea a flop? Or are they still in the works?

Is there any way a sub forum could be created where only users over the age of 18 can discuss "adult topics"?

Its kinda annoying because alot of people here would be great to have certain discussions with,but since alot of kids are involved in this site it stops what may be considered "inappropriate conversation"

It could be like the SBR/debate hall where you have to be accepted in.Or it could just go on users age.

I think that was suggested before but it was rejected. I forget what the reason was.

But then why does the artwork,forum games,debate hall,pool room,poke center,media metropolis etc exist?

Most of them have little or nothing to do with Smash brothers....

My point was that we have a lot of minors because of the game itself.

Making a room and having it use birth date wouldn't work - anyone with a brain can fake their age on the internet.

If you're thinking of an invite room where people are able to discuss more "mature" topics, that would be The Back Room.

How do you get into that?

I though that was for "elite smashers" etc
No. No no no no no NO NO NO NO NON O NO NO NO NAONOANOANFHDSFHHDSAFLASJDF;ADSFNONON ONONONONONO


*pant*




No.

I get many, many requests to join the BRoom that lavish me with one's genius of everything Smash, from memorization of invincibility frames to one's accomplishments in the tourney scene. Rest assured I'm incredibly impressed and so forth, but the Back Room has nothing to do with Smash, at all.

The Back Room is like a better Pool Room where people who have been noticed around the boards as intelligent, funny, or preferably some combination of the two can join together to talk about more "mature" (I use the term loosely as we goof around a lot) topics and not worry about trolls and generally uncouth types. The room is invite-only for a reason -- the BRoom forges close bonds over a period of years that have lots of people divulging personal information, photographs, and other things they wouldn't want to share with the mostly faceless entity of most of the boards. The invite-only nature also keeps the room generally having an intelligent/humorous/both atmosphere.

Which means there's no way to "get in". It's like becoming a moderator -- the more you inquire about it, the less likely it becomes. Think of it like the movie Fight Club. You're not going to be able to find a Fight Club, but some guys that frequent the bar you work at as a bouncer that think you look like you'd be cool may one day invite you. Just be casual and hope you're noticed. We can smell forced coolness from Switzerland.

I've got a suggestion if it hasn't already been mentioned - On that big list of active users at the bottom of the Home Page, there could be a different way to find currently active Friends. Like, right now, there's a little plus sign next to their name that can be hard to find by a glance; what about a certain colour instead? Like (unless these colours already exist) yellow, or hot pink, or whatevs. Or it could also be like flickering on and off or something like that.

I dunno.... just a thought.

On the Smash blue and Classic blue skin there's an thing that you can click under "Quick Links" that says "Open Contacts Popup". It lets you see all the people on your friend list that's online and offline.

I couldn't find one on Revolution skin though.
