I don't mind being used as a guinea pig for the titles (although my avatar...) and I agree that they look better beneath the username.
I'm all for changing the RP board a bit. Perhaps, if we're changing the way that the RP is set out we could keep a sort of reference board with all the locations and their descriptions? Or has this already been said and I've missed it? (Quite likely).
And I don't mind being credited at all.

(Although, admittedly, I don't really have a reason to.) Yeah, I think you missed it, haha. There'd probably be a sticky post listing all of the locations and their descriptions. Cool.

Heres my input. Sorry if the following has already been said: The Boards. They do need to be redone. A lot of the unneccessary ones need to go, especially the ones that have never even been posted in before. I also agree with having an "updates" page. The Ranks. I agree with having the rank posts go up, but not that high. I agree with whoever mentioned that none of us will probably ever reach 10,000. I like the idea of adding in a few more ranks on top of that if they keep those values, but they have the same EAxis idea to them, if you understand what I'm trying to say. The Shop. I believe I'm one of those unfulfilled requests! I really like the idea of custom titles (like the ones at GoS, where they're above the rank), but I'm not sure about second avatars idea because this could possibly cause larger-then-neccessary posts; but thats just my opinion please don't bite me. The Blogs. In my opinion, get rid of them. They're a waste of space. We only really need an updates post; not even staff blogs are needed. If others wanted, we could maybe make a certain post/area where everyones actual blogs/websites are linked beside their username, but I don't even think this is neccessary. If we do get more users, we could end up with 50 different blogs that are a waste of space, never getting used. Role play. I really miss this - it was a lot of fun, plus it helped me with writing. I believe that we should just delete all of the posts so far; but if people wanted to keep them around for memories sake then we could just make a sub-thread and shove them all in there. We could do what Cookie Fest did:The Number Seven Issue. Ah, don't worry, we all do that at one point or another. That is the best gif ever by the way. Of The Month Awards. I second that. Get rid of it until we have more members. May be edited to add more if the need arises!

The Number Seven Issue. That is the best gif ever by the way. That would be an interesting idea, but I don't think it'll happen. Ten ranks is already a lot, and I'm not that creative. Maybe one day if we ever decide to switch to custom ranks. I have thought of that. They do make the posts longer The things is, though, that it's not like we have tons of people who post, so it's not like we have tons of crowding on the boards, anyway. I wouldn't bite you.That's a good point. I miss it, too. Yeah, I think I've decided that we'll just move the old threads from RP into an archive. Especially if we end up changing the way RP is run. I concur whole-heartedly.

I am in complete agreement. I personally have been over the BBS atmosphere since the minute I stopped frequenting that site, and sometimes I think that the fact that we're so similar gives us a bad rep (because not a lot of people like/liked the BBS). BUT this is not my site; it's Amy's, and I can't in good conscience make changes that drastic while she's away. I personally would want do away with the "Benes" (probably switch to something like "Thanks" instead), and change the name of the ranks to something more original, but that's only my opinion. (Also, I think there is a way to change the forum's name. I know that "The Unofficial BBS" could be changed, and possibly "sims2bbsbackup," too.) Do what you like to it. I've really not got the time right now . It had very little to with the BBS in its make up, it simple ended up titled that because I am not remotely creative and the people on the BBS were scary loyal to that site/name/format. I would have given my right arm to make them stop moaning. I would just say, you might want to back up any coding before you make changes. It doesn't take much for the whole site to end up in a spin. Or, alternatively, even make a new site and have active member move there. It solves the renaming-deleting-old-accounts issue. But it is a lot of work :/ Anyway, you're doing a great job. It's needed some TLC for a long long time

It's needed some TLC for a long long time I'm not going to mess with it. Maybe somewhere down the line, but not anytime in the near future. There's enough changes around here, anyway. Yeah, I backed up the coding. It's in a notepad on my desktop, haha. I've been terrified of messing up the forum in some way. I've been being uber-careful whenever I head into the headers and footers. I'm not too worried about removing accounts. I don't think we need to move forum for that. Thank you! I'm glad you like the changes so far.

You know, this isn't too important, but I remember someone mentioning something about "when we get more members we can start this up," or something along those lines. I was looking at the home page changes, and I noticed at the bottom that it said that there were 6 members, 2 staff, and 122 guests active in the last 24 hours. That's a lot. This site gets enough traffic, but it seems as though people are either unwilling or uncertain about joining. I wonder why that is. Not really anything to cringe over, but rather something I noticed.
