Vote on desired features

[Legend]

I love every feature I add to the site, but with limited time and resources it'd be best to focus on what the community wants most. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to help keep this forum a cool place for us to hang out! So please answer the poll and post a comment explaining why below. Also if you have the time, please make a ranked list of all these features. That way I can get a much better idea of what's wanted and what's trash.

Sub Forum Stickies
-Stickies that only show up in the respective sub forum. IE the PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo, PC, and General official threads would be stickied in the gaming sub forum, but they would appear as normal threads everywhere else.

Custom Stickies
-Let you guys manage your own group of stickied topics that would appear below the universal stickies. Kinda is redundant since we have a notify/follow feature with threads, but this would be more visually friendly.

Expanded Statistics
-This would add lots of statistics to the main stats page and to the user page, while also bringing back topic statistics for topics individually. Would include graphs of data over time.

Multi Member Topics
-Again this was a feature lost in the transition to 2.0 that I'd like to bring back. Let multiple users have control over topics so that OTs can be edited and updated by a larger group.

Forum Wiki
-Wiki still exists but is hidden away since Forum 2.0 didn't work with it. Wiki could be reintegrated and host whatever content you want. Might be a better alternative to Multi Member Topics, since the wiki is built to handle multiple users editing simultaneously. Could then have code to embed wiki text into posts.

Game Database
-Let users add games to the database, and connect those games with their profile. This opens up lots of additional possibilities, but for starters it'd just be very simple stuff like adding games to your collection and rating them.

Cross Thread Quoting
-It's already possible, but it sure isn't user friendly. This would "unify" the reply box between tabs and pages making it very easy to quote people on different pages and even different threads.

Twitter New Thread Alert
-Have a twitter bot that tweets out when new threads are made. Can be set up to ignore threads in certain boards and threads made by certain users.

Jump to Quote from Index
-Click on a blue topic a certain way and be taken to your first unseen quote, not the first unseen message.

General Clean Up
-Focus on ironing out the glitches and quirks with existing systems instead of adding more. Remove double post glitch in live view, count quotes as viewed in live view, fix youtube merging when multiple urls are posted, forum bots finished, etc.

I like game database.  Think there's a lot that could be done with that long term for sure.  Short term even it would have some good uses.  Long term maybe we could even have users add sales numbers or something. (Also hardware too). Maybe?

Tracking sales is hard because it's a 3D plot and I don't know how to do that efficiently in MySQL :/

That'd be a long long term thing.  Right now I'm.just thinking a convenient place to input NPD stuff for a table.

Could you elaborate on '3D plot'?

That's not the correct terminology, but I mean you have game_id*date=sales_number.


Wouldn't actually be that hard to do though. Could just have a huge table for sales data that isn't sorted.

Seems game database is the winner.

Expanded statistics would be really great too! I love all that stuff!

I think the stickies are relatively unimportant while activity is low, so we won't really lose threads we want to post in.

The wiki would be good but I don't think its needed until your game comes out/ is about to come out.

The rest of the stuff is just convenience, which is needed when the forum is so well built already
