The distinguished HullBreach spake:

I was hoping physicists would discover the graviton so we'd be one step closer to all the cool Star Trek stuff. The Higgs Boson almost certainly rules out that a graviton even exists. Does this mean gravity isn't really one of the fundamental forces of nature? So far each force has its own particle, the most well-known being the photon for electromagnetism. Yet, gravity travels at the same speed as light, so it seems like a force of nature. Where is my warp drive?!

How does the existence of the Higgs rule out the graviton? D:

Getting back on topic...
Login/Register things require some stuff.
1. Do you have a database up and running?
2. Do you have a server on which you are hosting your sie?
3. Do you know anything about scripting at all?
A login system would require various amounts of PHP, HTML, and MySQL. HTML for the form and surrounding webpage, PHP for checking the username and password and adding them as variables, AND to register the session, and MySQL to connect and read the batabase.

That's my point. If the average member has 3 alts, and you take into account that there are almost 50000 accounts on the site, that means there are only 12500 main members.

I think the site would benefit from a no-alt rule. Simple. Easier. Cleaner.

Ok, I think the two main factors of this are:
1. Some older users think they are entitled to special treatment, and that all new users mean nothing. I have even seen this in a few mods. But that behaviour is totally wrong, as all users AND admins are on the same level.
2. I often find it hard to know who is new and who isn't. Of course, I could just look on their profile, but this would hardly be efficient, as I would have to look at every user's profile that I haven't seen before.

So, what I propose is:
1. There is nothing much that can be done for my first point, other than banning users for calling new users 'noobs' in a derogatory sense.
2. A system be created, that when a user registers, it sends a message to all the chatrooms, saying "Soandso has registered! Welcome Soandso!" (or something like that). Kind of like the TWiiter system. That way, people chatting would know who is new, and who to greet. I think this would increase the help given to said user, therefore making their way around SDK easier.

I agree with Limxzero, this should go in misc. All "Who is your favourite user?", "Favourite admin", etc threads have, although relating to the site, have gone in misc. I don't see what differs this from them.

Maybe an "App" section, as on DSiPlaza or DSiHub.

Another example that's more important than TMJ, Mitchell. Coding isn't exactly as easy as it looks. It can be hard to estimate how long something will take to design, code, etc.

I'd like to go a few steps further from your idea. Also, I think 1 event a week would be good.
1. Make it like the blog system. You submit an event, with a description of what it will be about, etc, and an admin will feature it, just as if it were a blog. News / Blogmin would probably be the right admins for the job.
2. After a certain period of time (say the event was scheduled on Saturday, the Tuesday before could be the deadline), all featured events would be voted on by members. This would also have a deadline, maybe Thurday. Then the event with the most votes will take place the following Saturday.
3. The cycle will repeat.

Sorry if all that was a little confusing. I think that it could be a good system of choosing events fairly and regularly each week.

I kinda like the old friend list. Less confusing, simpler. Also, getting mailed when someone added you was great.

Chewbacca is an epic person

Ban everyone for a week. That'll knock some sense into all of us :D

Disagreed, Pie. Nothing makes more sense than meat in a sandwich. Although, those points are great.
I do have to say, though, where there is law, there is always someone who will break it.

I agree, Limxzero. A group of 5,000 people is a lot easier to control that a mob of 50,000.
How about we install a fascist dictatorship? Nothing like a charismatic general for crowd control :D

Sorry, but there was no reason to change the word. I can see plenty of combinations. This game involves thinking. Maybe sometimes Google, if you can think of a word. So, I'm going back to the other line of letters.

Not after I walk into the room =D
But seriously, it's HOT in Australia at the moment.

Do you think I'd make a good pirate? Arr?

Ail

It's awesome how everyone's adding a bit of background character to their weapon. It's inspiring to see people work hard on their designs.

I'm not sure about the date in Au, but the price is expected to be $348.

For a while, I've had a web host account at DSiPaint, but hadn't really used it. But, that's changed, and now a site is growing called the The HeroCave. Another user named PieBoy and I are working on it together, and it is coming along pretty well, although there is basically no content.
Anyway, even thought it's all going well, we need ideas for things on the site. I was hoping you could post some, and we'll do our best to see them through.
