[F13] Everybody's Doing It

Posted by F1ak3r on Dec. 9, 2008, 8:21 a.m.

Time to suggest 64D improvements!

Timezones

It would be nice if the time on the site would be own time, instead of the time in Canada. If forums can do it, why can't we?

Expanding from GM

It's been said before, but let me say it again. All the cool kids are expanding, so why shouldn't we? It's not like we wouldn't allow GM stuff anymore.

QDB

Bring the link back! And someone put better quotes in it. Or make a new on-site QDB, with better quotes. It'll encourage people to go on IRC, and be a source of laughs, which is never a bad thing.

Forums

Get rid of that silly SMF thing. No-one ever uses it. If we really need forums, why not bring the old ones back? They're still lurking around here, and they were kinda cool.

Ciribots

Remember that thing that happened a while ago? With the ciribot user icons and the awesome menu link? It was great.

Even if you don't bring back the link, why not have ciribot users again? Ciribots are a part of 64D culture, and far more interesting than those lame people torso-and-head things that every other site in the world has.

Poll

Update that damn poll more often! Surely you great people can think of SOMETHING to put in it.

Games

Instead of just showing the newest games on the front page, why not show a few of the top-rated ones as well, maybe on top of the recent submissions or something?

To all members (myself included): We all need to actually enter the competitions hosted here. =)

These are all just things that I think would be nice, and might get more people to join and hang around here. I won't pretend to know anything about what people want or how to generate site activity, but that's all just my Z$2.

Timezones - Agree, I don't find it all that useful though.

Expanding from GM - Agree, although I'm 99% sure it's never going to happen.

QDB - <3 the QDB, although I'm biased considering I wrote it.

Forums - I don't think we need forums, the SMF ones might as well stay since it doesn't require any extra effort.

Ciribots - Ciribots are silly and detract from the professionalism of the site… although 64Digits is far from professional anyway so by all means, reinstate the Ciribots.

Poll - Agree.

Games - I think we would run out of room on the front page if we did that, although perhaps a quick link to the top games somewhere near the recent ones.

@Prometheist: You mustn't feed him.

@serprex: Forgot about that, but yeah, I meant going further.

@SixWinged: The timezone thing was just something that popped into my head. It'd be nice, but I agree that it wouldn't be that useful.

I suppose we always have blogs, even if we won't be able to submit non-GM/non-ENIGMA things. That's something at least

Maybe we could take out a row of recent submissions… it would help if the preview pics were still 100*100

I'm not saying having timezone compatibility is a bad idea, I'm saying that saying that the server's in the "Canada time zone" is ridiculous.

Expanding from gm would be intresting, but the big 'GAMEMAKER' at the top right will have to go. :(

@flashback: Ah, I see. GMT-7 then?

@Mat: If they can take away the banner and those three buttons that used to be… um… somewhere on the site, then they can take away the GAMEMAKER. We'll get used to it…

i cant be lieve none of the admins , or anyone else had thought about having top rated games on the homepage, mabye you should have the top 25, ant the most recent 25 listed at the side of the site aswell as the six pictures.
