The Suggestion Thread

Well, technically that stuff doesn't require knowing any code, just access to the admin control panel. Even with the amount of custom code Raz has done for this site, I doubt it's changed that much. All forums work that way.

Yeah, I am pretty sure what Lana says is true. This forum is based on vBulletin so it will have the same standard admin options I'd assume.

The stand in administrator would not make drastic changes to the coding though. They would simply maintain the forums while implementing small changes to benefit them.

I still think moderator maintenance is the key to moving forward though. Removal of the inactive as suggested by someone else earlier and a new approach by the ineffective moderators (Not at catching socks, spammers and the like. Just their general approach which is less than constructive.) you see scattered about would serve the forums well.

Also, please don't take that the wrong way, I'm not trying to attack anyone. It just annoys me to see things being done the way they are.

Well, truth be told, I feel that the current MIA moderators, while I harbor no ill will towards them and acknowledge their contributions on KMC, need to either spend more time on the boards or offer their titles to another member who will fill the slot needed.

No doubt some people will call me out on this. All I can say is: Use your power, or pass it on. KMC needs you more than ever. Help us, or, in the most respectful way, pass on your powers to someone who will. I am only trying to help in the movement to revive our beloved forums.

I feel like an ass now, having said that.

I dunno.

Well said.

How about a chat box included on the forum? Members still can live chat with each other without using their personal MSN etc..

Well on certain vbulletin forums i go on members profiles have added features such as members can leave visitor messages to each other on profiles and add pictures and profile pics and also members can create user social groups for things they like, it is great for extra interaction with other members and enhances great community atmosphere and so on.

Had it before.

Must have been before my time.

It actually was never completed, only a few people ever used it while Raz had been testing it.

And yeah, that was back in like...2004 or 2005.

Social groups would be a bad idea. KMC is already well split between the forums. We've had many problems with cliques working together on attacking members already.

I still don't know why you resigned, WD. You were a good moderator.

He was certainly one of the better ones.

WD was one of the most active mods we had then. We need more mods like him on the boards.

It wasn't his activeness that made him a high quality mod it was his demeanour. He was a moderator who garnered respect.
