That's right, you can post all of the suggestions for the forums that you can think of right here. Anything from removing post timer counters, new layouts and so on to planning the Zelaron forum strategies for the future so we might become an even better forum.
Oh well, I guess it's all up to you folks.
Happy posting!

Wiccan as A supreme mod in dmasters place
and a misc gaming forum (for computers mainly becuz theres only places to talk about a couple games no new games or just off topic games and stuff)
also is there a way to make the spam forums not show up in the view new post list because they serioulsy hog all the usefull space and I lose all my worthwhile posted threads

I also second that.... :) JohnnyTAE, from the second I met you, I honestly thought "mod" simply because you help, you're cool, and you help... You hold alot of mod qualities. You remind me of a young me, er, a newer version of me... er, well, uhhh... you remind me of me when I first came to Zelaron... but I was only a regular member for under a day.... But yeah, keep rockin, and you got my vote... :)

Also, that would be nice, because then they don't have to post it in a diff forum and fear getting yelled at or something... it would make Zelaron more friendly.

Thanxz again for the compliment wiccan :D you honestly are one of the best mods here and would be best in my view to take dmasters place he hasn't been active and you have done so much more then he has while he was here you one of the most helpful mods and the only other mod that has been as knowledgable and active as you would be hlom and dark (out of the active members) but they best fit into the mod places they are in. Chrusher plz tell us wut you think??

Chruser, i was just thinking of a new game to start with, Ghost Recon by Tom Clancey. I posted about it and did a poll. do you think that if enough people agree with me, we could start one up? I would be more then happy to mod for it, that is if it's alright with you. have a good one :0) peace

Here's an idea:
Yeah, I know it's modeled after CLF, but it's sweet. We should have "Custom Titles" that go under our user name. You can change them in the Control Panel and golly gee, they're just fun!

About the ghost recon thing, you can start a thread, and if it gets enough votes (I'll check for cheaters), I will most likely start a GR forum in the FPS section.

i think the newbie forum is definitly a good idea, and would make zelaron a lot less spam free (other than chat of course), cuz less people would be busting on noobs. that ones got my vote.

these forums will be quite deserted. try to condense it. For the amount of users this board has, there are waaaay to many forums. I wouldn't add any at this point, and condense/remove some. For example, condense the older console forums into one forum.

wiccan hardly posts in any of the forums besides "off topic" ones. supreme mods should be ones that post in a variety of forums and would actually be usefull to their position.

2002-04-25, 08:42 PM
i got an idea aabout the post timer. maybe if some1's been a member for a certain amount of time, and posted a certain amount, the timer for them could be removed/lowered? cuz i get the fact that its mainly there to prevent mass spamming from other sites, and if we made some1 be a member for 60 days or so and about 500 posts, then we could be pretty sure theyre not here just to spam, theyve got something to say. just my 2 cents. cuz i think that would make it a lot more fun for the people that come here to talk, and have trouble doing it cuz of the timer

I was just thinking with all the changes with a new cheat sections and a misc gaming forum both if's but what if you began a new place with the name like General Gaming then put the cheat codes and Misc Gaming underneath it and the noob forum should be under zelaron

Randuin
2002-04-30, 10:03 PM
I dunno... i think it'd be just a spam fest because there are so many games out there... unless in the forum you limit that there can be nothing down there about a game that already has its own forum... then it might be actually somewhat successful... i dunno...
just my canadian 2 cents which probly worth 1.3 cents in the US

To many eagle eyes leads to looking at the wrong stuff and sharper one's lead to paying to close a detail to stuff that don't need it
Moderate eagle eyes is the best

RoboticSilence
2002-05-05, 09:01 PM
Definately a General PC Games forum... it would stop the need for game or genre specific forums... simplify many forums into one.. it can't get better than that... and if you don't know where to put it... do this... put it as a forum section heading (such as RPG Games is now) and stick RPG and FPS and Strategy under it.. then put it's own "Miscellaneous" forum at the top. It'll tidy things up a bit, too. :D
Randuin
2002-05-05, 09:06 PM
but then it would lead to lots of complications like innapropriate subjects and such and such
JohnnyTAE
2002-05-05, 10:01 PM
I do not know where it would fit but I think its a great idea general gaming so we can talk about new games/ games not addresed in other forums and it would be worth the hassle (I hope)
RoboticSilence
2002-05-05, 10:04 PM
PRECISELY... and any innappropriate stuff should be quickly closed and/or moved to the off-topic forums.
Randuin
2002-05-07, 07:20 AM
hrmm... ya it might be pretty good because then we don't need teams and teams and teams of mods!
JohnnyTAE
2002-05-07, 08:52 AM
Here is my new suggestion that we start a whole new Misc. area like the over head of off-topic yet it will be Misc. then the forums under it would be General Gaming/ n00b help/ Ware,Cracks Discussion
I think that would work really well and if we don't wanna add sum mods we could rearrange the ones we already have like move sum there or the ones who don't have a very large job can mod over more than 1 forum
note:those are just names I thought of off the top of my head they will need to be changed
RoboticSilence
2002-05-07, 02:09 PM
General Gaming is a topic... General PC Games, Hacking, etc. should all be under one HEADING... "Gaming"... with RPG, FPS, etc. under THAT.
JohnnyTAE
2002-05-07, 02:12 PM
That's a lot of rearranging to make it worth it that would totattly change zelaron and what people are already used to I think adding a new misc are would be better
RoboticSilence
2002-05-07, 02:14 PM
Nah... because it isn't really misc... trust me, doing this would really clean it all up and make it more organized... people would get used to it because it makes sense.
JohnnyTAE
2002-05-07, 02:22 PM
I still don't think so that's just to many under topics it's like putting 40 topics under off topic it wouldn't work I still like my idea
Here is my new suggestion that we start a whole new Misc. area like the over head of off-topic yet it will be Misc. then the forums under it would be General Gaming/ n00b help/ Ware,Cracks Discussion

2002-05-07, 05:18 PM
well... as the title of zelaron goes... it's a GAMING forum so i think each kind of games get their own topic because then it would be gay with one forum and one topic and a whole load of shit under that
JohnnyTAE
2002-05-08, 05:23 PM
well it wouldn't be logicall to make a forum for every game in the world and it's not logical either to not be able to talk about them either so I say the more popular games get there own forum while sum other games like Black & white, Messiah, e.t.c. can be talked about in a general gaming forum which doesn't fit anywhere so What I said before is a easy fix to some of the needed forums General Gaming, n00b Discussion, Warez/cracks/etc. put them all under miscellanous and it's all gravy from there

Hits and number of personnal threats made under your name since your last vist are also a must.

I think there should be a New Thread and Add Reply at the bottom of the page on Synthesis. I am very used to it there but I've seen that it might not fit there so I don't know.The new thread button inside a thread was deemed useless, and a reply button right above a reply box looked silly, so those two option are available at the top, and the reply link is also in the title of the Quick Reply box under the title of "[Full Featured Reply]" Honestly, though, I've found that Quick Reply is usually sufficient.

I always use 'view new posts' too, and I would have an option to block all/certain section of forum except one (D2).
This way, it could be easier for me to see ALL of them, coz when I have like 3 pages to look at, it's ennoying to browse through.

I think each type of game (action, rpg, strategy, etc.) should have a general forum as well.
It would clean things up a bit in the normal G G board.

I only see view new posts link.
When i click it I only go to threads i have posts in.
So a view new threads link would be cool.
WetWired

Then you must have posted in all of them. ;)
Really, the view new threads link goes to a search results for all posts since your last activity of your last visit (30 mins or something of inactivity or logging out ends a visit) or marking all forums read.
If you only want to see threads you've posted in, look in usercp, under the list of subscribed threads.

We really need a Help/n00b forum. There have been numorous people asking for help in the Zelaron forum. IT would be really good and helpful to have one.

Can we have a Sims forum? I might be on here more and I might SPAM less(Bob says). For the time being I can't play the game,but when I do I could always use some help or give some help...I don't really play UO,CS, or EQ...so it would be more interesting for me...or ppl like me...thanks :D
Jamesadin
2002-11-09, 08:20 PM
I dont know if there would be enough activity in that forum, becuase what you would talk about would be limited.
Silverjinx18
2002-11-10, 11:23 AM
limited? how so? not many topics? I don't know, if you were a hard corp sims fan there might be plenty to talk about, and help out some new sims players...but you would need more ppl who play the game...so maybe it will attract more ppl to join zelaron..?
and from other sims posts of mine I've had ppl tell me that it would be a good idea and they would like to see it on the forums...
Jamesadin
2002-11-10, 08:03 PM
but, there wouldnt be much to talk about. I like the sims, but it isnt as talked about. The only new thing that one would mostly talk about is a new game, or new ways to trap your person in a pool.

Make a new forum for it and think of something more original than R&R, how about the "Bitching board"

Possibly. I have another small PHP problem to take care of right now, and it seems somewhat unsolvable. If anyone reading this happens to know some PHP, send me a PM at once.

Maybe you should make it so that there can't be more guests than members on Zelaron at any given time. Either that, or if there are more guests on, then prompt them with a message that tells them they can't read any of the forums until the register a Member Name. Maybe that way, more people will join. Either that or don't let Unregistered Users post post anything (Which I already thought was the case, but I've seen it happena few times).

We used to require registration, but decided that it really didn't add anything.
Unregistered users can only post replies to announcements.

I just downloaded Raven Shield demo and its a sweet game. I think there should be a forum dedicated to the Rainbow Six games.
i dont know if im posting this in the right place, but i think there should be a computer modification forum in off-topic section...where u can talk about computer hardware, mods, issues, ask each other for help, get opinions etc.
I just downloaded Raven Shield demo and its a sweet game. I think there should be a forum dedicated to the Rainbow Six games.
I was actually going to request this, when Raven shield came out.
Assuming there was suffice interest for one, no need for a new forum that gets like 1 thread a week.....

Titusfied
2003-01-14, 01:58 PM
Maybe make a temp Religion Thread, but delete it after a set amount of time. A religion forum would probably get old after af ew weeks of heated discussion, as everyone would run out of interesting things to say.
By making a temp Thread and saying that it will only be available from this time period could bring some interesting discussions....

Titusfied
2003-01-30, 08:09 AM
Heh, :Thread Reported: for what? Tossing ideas, A.K.A. "suggestions" around and getting answers to those "suggestions"!!
Anyway, I would like to have the option of Squelching members, so we don't have to read posts by them. Also, how about for all the Forums we signed up for, or registered (whatever it's technically called) they are the only ones that will appear on our New Threads since your Last Visit shortcut.
I personally would rather only see posts from places that I would be interested in, and not have to sift through all the other forums, like Help, Computer Graphics, etc.
I actually might have suggested that already, or maybe someone else did, but I forget if there was a response to it, or if there was, what the response was...? Sorry.

I want to suggest a Neverwinter Nights Forum. Like the diablo one. NWN (Neverwinter Nights) Is just like diablo. There are clans, Trading, and practicly everything else. Theres even a champain editer. I think the champain editer is the best editer anyones ever made. You could put a forum for clans, a champian editer forum where you can put ideas for a champain and maybe ask someone for ideas or if they think your is dumb, you could make a script editer forum, theres a script edited in the champain editer that lets you do alot with the characters. You could have just a Normal NWN forum. I think it would be a great Idea! Well Ive been mumbling on for awhile, what do you think? lol
Titusfied
2003-03-11, 10:17 AM
I'd like to have the post count not updated on all previous posts before every time you post. I mean, if I went back to check out my first ever post, it would say, Post Count = 1. and my latest one would have the recent number on it.
Not really a big suggestion, but it would kinda put posting priorites in some sort of order. Also, it would let the poster know how many times they've posted inbetween responses. Just something I think would be cool, don't know about anyone else.
I see they do it at Blizzard's Forums, and I kinda get a kick out of it when I see the progress of each persons posting throughout reading the thread.
Just an idea though.

well there are NONE for SC!@
I think that you guys should make this whole site brighter it makes me wanna not post or stay here for awhile cuz its not really attractive, thats my first idea
second idea:
Alright, make it so every member can get gold for doing something great, or just posting like 2 gold a post or sumthing then after they get oh say 15 gold up to like 1000 make it so they can buy something like a new color for their username or maybe something like the power to squelch or be able to w/e get special privladges for a price im out -ac1d

Not the General Conversation, unless you want to just disable post counts as a whole.
Actually Chat forum is alright, it is the people who are addicted to spamming and cannot stop should be dealt with. (Or better yet, get a life!)

Titus recently brought up a topic that interested me.
Why not add a comics forum? Allow discussion of pretty much any comic book-related topic, from 8-Bit theater to Spider Man. I realize that these sorts of dicussions could just as easily be filed under the Media Forum, but then again, the Literature and Art forums could be merged as well.

This is a gaming forum. The Gen Conv/chat forum were created to keep the spam out of the gaming areas. Keep it the same.

Do you realize how hard it is not to insult you. Your opinions don't matter, no one cares cause no one likes you. I never said anything about Gen Convo/Chat or spam. Your post doesnt even coinside w/ mine... Go away.
I'd suggest something like...
Take a break from your current game addiction, ask a question, give some input. Here at Zelaron thats what we're all about.
Lenny
2005-05-30, 11:00 AM
Why in Gods name are you prattling on about Gen Con and Chat Forum?? Show me whereabouts in his post that Kaneda even began to mention either or both.
Not bad...needs to be a bit snappier though if you get my drift. When the people read it don't we want it to reach out, grab them by the throat and drag them in?? Something they'll remember and tell their friends about...
I don't have any ideas what so don't look at me...:p

I've been here a month longer than you so I have the senority above you. Seriously, this is a gaming forum, if you WANT to chat and shit outside of the gaming, do it in the Gen Conv/Chat forum, that's why they were put there. You don't need to expand them or make anymore subforums for them. There is even a whole interests section for every other category. Remember, Zelaron is an online Gaming community.

I'm guessing that person is Chruser, am I right?)? the suggestion is: why don't we get a section devoted to scientific theories? If you want I could post a poll(providing you tell me where I should put the poll) on whether or not to make such a section. anyway, please think about it. :) Thank you for your time and thoughts.

The problem is that it creates a very immature and temporary "community" who really only care about the files provided. They wouldn't stick around if we had to remove the hacks for some reason (I.E. a lawsuit by Blizzard and they have gone after hack sites in the past)
Not really a "community", just a bunch of moochers.
