Hello, hello! How is everybody doing?
• "Benes" have been changed to "Thanks."
• Participation badges, which had originally been at the bottom the mini profile, have been moved beneath the personal text. Why? Because that particular code doesn't play well with the money hack code, and as a result, there was a blank line between the display name and the rank for all members with badges. This new position is the only position for the badges that prevents the line from showing up.
• I've been playing around with the rank names. The post counts were edited to be more difficult back in October, but we stuck with the old BBS rank names. What do we think about changing them?
For about a day some time last week (I don't know if any of you noticed), they had been the different positions of the TS2 Science Career Track. Then I changed them back, but now currently they're set as follows:
These new ranks are a combination of the TS2 Popularity Aspiration monikers and the reputation monikers from The Sims 2 Apartment Life. Do we like, or do we wish to stick with the BBS ranks?
• I've been looking for a code that would allow for members to assign their own custom titles. However, I haven't succeeded in finding one. So I don't know what to do with the custom titles. The shop doesn't get much, if any, use (more on this below), but I want members to be able to utilize this feature. So I'm thinking either staff-given custom titles based on karma ("Thanks"), with an option to choose your own title when you reach a set number of Thanks, or:
• I have been considering disbanding the forum shop. Secondary avatars would go bye-bye, because that code had been subpar since its initiation, but colored usernames and custom titles would still be available. I'd probably make a sticky thread in the Suggestions Box board, and members could make a post there when they wish to acquire these features.
Yes? No?
• The V5 upgrade, whenever it comes about (I made a post over at the Proboards support forum--apparently the automatic converter is either not working or has been purposely slowed down )--will probably throw a wrench into all of this, but I think a lot of these changes will actually make things simpler. I don't know how much of the shop will actually be compatible with V5, anyway.
• Does anybody else have any other suggestions or concerns to bring up while I'm at it?
• Oh, and don't forget to submit your Sims for the Round Robin Legacy, if you've any inclination. The poll goes up sometime late Sunday night (EST).
