Added in a couple other things.

So you're denying that Lythium is a cool person?

Edit: OH SHI-

Do Premium Memberships end the very second they were bought? If I bought mine 4PM on August 12th 2009, will it end 4PM on August 12th 2010?

 

[flaco]

I will warn the next person who posts without a question, or answers a question and they aren't a Mod.

ok guys just a reminder what ever happened to these?

No you twit. You said keep being active for a long time and I said or be Lythium since she joined in '09. Of course Lythium is a cool person.

 

[Airgemini]

Lythium is the best guys.
But she knows this already.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

You claim Smash researchers are dead

what happened to that user group

 

[flaco]

what would happened if you bought a 12 month membership and somebody hacks your account and you get banned would u get you refund back?

That was in 2006... That's probably why.

As is usual with hacked accounts, we'd just try and get them their accounts back.

Are there any plans to make new skins for SWF? I'm honestly a bit tired of just Revolution, Smash Blue, and Classic Blue.

There are new ones, and they will be available eventually.

 

[Mota]

Nooby question, How do I check how much Premium I have left?

I go to User CP and then Premium but it just asks me to buy more premium lol.

There should be a section on top that lists the expiry date of your premium membership.

 

[Azua]

It doesn't work for the people Frown bought premium for.

Yeah uh, the icons and stuff have to be uploaded by someone at mlg.. :\

 

[Frown]

If this is the case, just check the date I sent the "thank you" PM, add one day and count from there.

 

[Mota]

LOL, fair enough.

Okay, so 3 months. 90 days exactly?

 

[Frown]

Not exactly. If it started on say, October 15th, it ends on January 15th.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Suggestion: There should be a "Potential Findings" thread or something of that nature in the GBD or Tactical Boards

Yeah, there's a list of ATs and glitches but who honestly would read through that whole before posting a new thread? This way, there would be less pointless threads cluttering up the board, and maybe attempt to make it less of the spam infested hellhole that it has a reputation for being.

Suggestion for the site.

Ever since Brawl came out, SWF replaced all the characters' icons who made it into Brawl with Brawl icons, pretty much removing the Melee character icons except for those who didn't make it in.

So I have a suggestion.

Bring the melee icons back and add 64 icons, and allow those to be selectable from the character selection list.

It's nothing real big, but just a nice added touch for anyone with personal preferences.

you should take the survey and add this to the end of it

 

[GHNeko]

I already took the survey LOL.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

iirc the icons have to go through MLG, which take for ****in ever

vB UPGRADE GO GO GO

Two problems with Melee icons: one is that we can't upload them to the server because MLG tech hasn't given us access to (and no, asking them to do it for us won't work, sadly). Two is that I don't have the Melee stock icons (the ones we do have someone sent, but they aren't directly from the game and the quality is meh), which we'd obviously need in order to let you choose them.

This question has been asked so many times.

 

[GHNeko]

oh. okay okay.

I did not know.

 

[victra♥]

I think i'd be nice if we adapted some of the features they have over at http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php

You can see some of the similarities their forum has with ours. Some minor but interesting differences is the "recent visitors" box on profile pages and blogs as a tab on your profile similar to that of the friends/about me/statistics tab.

Also, the christmas theme isn't too shabby but its a little too late for that anyways. Maybe next year? =P

Lastly, what I think is a huge 1-up is how well their social groups are. Go ahead and take a look, its much more organized and acts more like a mini forum if anything. Plus their pictures are not limited to just simply brawl snapshots (which seems impractical in the first place seeing as how we don't go about talking about brawl in the majority of the social rooms.)

 

[DtJ Jungle]

that has to do with the EFFFIN VBULLETIN UPGRADE


i think.

 

[victra♥]

oh, so its never gonna happen then.

k.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

yea, gg Victra.

 

[Mic_128]

Actually that's not true. WE only added those icons after BRawl, and then after suggested we added Ylink, Mewtwo and Roy. (Then MLG took over and we're still waiting on anything else to happen)

 

[GHNeko]

I stand further corrected. :V

Regardless. I do hope my suggestion falls through. Somehow.

Recent visitors is disabled here because I think it's creepy. Their blog feature is probably an add-on that we don't use, although we have a blog sidebox thingy that shows off your latest posts. Social groups are indeed a vB upgrade thing. Non-Brawl snapshots are also disabled here intentionally because I didn't want to have to moderate pictures or become a generic picture hosting service.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Is there a way to delete social groups that you have started?

 

[victra♥]

^yeah, you have to remove everyone in the group first and then and delete option will be shown next to the edit option.

@KK. Oh, okay.

 

[Guilhe]

What is a Referral (last item from the user profile statistics tab)?

 

[Airgemini]

Whenever someone new joins the site they can say who referred them to the site. It's basically a number of people you've referred this site to.

 

[KAOSTAR]

oh ok thanks, That makes sense.

I just didnt wanna delete everyone to find out it doesnt work or something lol

 

[CRASHiC]

there is a major fault in the censor list. You need to add a certain word that you forgot.

[uhmuzing]

About Social groups, you have the ability to change a group's name for a while, I believe, but after a certain time (or maybe it depends on how many people joined) you lose that ability to change the group's name. Is there a way to reacquire that option to change the name of an old group, or should I make another new group?

Yeah, I'd like to know more about this too actually.
