Suggestion from AJW

As im not a donator or nothing i would'nt know if they have this but

1. VIP monthly subscription which allows a shoutbox = more money to get less ads and a better server (if needed). Will include - private VIP forums, coloured orange name?, VIP symbol ?

2. A portal page, people rarely look at the news. If you had a portal page thats the first thing the person will see.... the news, this will mean more people seeing whats going on within the community - a nice portal page is demonstatored at http://www.decerto.net

3. A logo ? I know everyone knows the sythe yellow writing nowadays but a symbol showing who you are, could be alot better!

4. Notifications!! Sometimes i post on a thread and never look back at it as i have forgot, if someone has replyed in that thread and quoted what i put, i want to know about it!

5. TAGS - you can choose a drop down menu on what you are accepting... this will make it alot easyer for searching. like the tags would be - PP, WU , RSGP .. if you i choose RSGP then id write title in title box!

6. Custom forum icons - for example for the xbox forum, a Xbox logo but a designed icon for it. same for RS, WOW etc. As we all know there is activity in mostly every forum

7. Video Clips Forum should be changed to Images and Video Clips as there can be some awesome pictures!

8. More from the site (from staff)
Reviews and Tutorials
A Sythe podcast - basically just a general chat just explaining whats been going on!!
T'W'I'T'T'E'R ( its censoreded ) - The site has many updates and sometimes downtime, so people are on T'W'I'T'T'E'R from here and i wouldnt mind a update on whats going on when i cant access the site!

9. Editting your thread title!! It doesnt work so why should we get the option to changed it!

10. Ticket system!! We have to leap a extra mile for help from staff !! Why not have a ticket system so every issue can be dealt with!

11. A shop - This would mean people definitely know what they are paying for , you could be in partnership with other copanys an take 20 percent of takings = more money within sythe.

 

VIP is on the DNS List.
Notifications can be substituted for Subscribed Threads.
Portal Page is Sythe news

 

^^ my point is Not many people visit the news forum, if sythe had a portal page, more people would be seeing whats going on within the community!

Where would subscribed thread posts come up ? Would it pm you if some1 posted on that thread.

 

Dude notifcations would be the best thing to put on sythe, everything would be so much more convenient. However I would assume that would take a lot of coding.

 

Sometimes I just wish we upgraded our vB..

Either way, half of that is on the DNS. (VIP/Shoutbox)

 

should upgrade to Xenforo ( also you can transfer all the data across including users, all forum threads, stickies, posts, PMs ) , the most powerful forum software out.... even has a mobile app... the only problem it doesnt have they $5 donator stuff when u transfer and other stuff.

 

mobile.sythe.org

/thread.

 

the mobile version is kinda bad, this application for xenforo is fast, and easy to use and doesnt take half a hour to get to the forum u want.

 

******Updated******

 

While I agree with most of your suggestions, they are going to be instadeclined by a staff member.

Notifications is basically subscribed threads, so there's no point in adding a whole new thing for that.

I do like the portal idea though, and perhaps if Sythe just updated vB to the newest one, you could have a lot more room to do things like that.

 

^^ the new vb is alot more glitchy.

 

It would definitely be nice to have a portal page, but the fact of how many people viewing it wouldn't change too much. If people don't want to read important / news threads, and they end up getting banned; then, it's their fault.

 

Denied.
