Ive been thinking, how about a little box called a Shoutbox. Its where you can speak to people without PMing them. I was just sitting here thinking, "Ive seen other Forumns have one. Why not us?" Ofc it would have the rules such as no flaming or bad langauge. And the mods can post in the shoutbox too. Speaking to a mod would be awesome instead of pming. But anyway the point is it could be better for the forumns, Or worse. I dont know, Post your thoughts.

We could even have mini games and the prizes could be....Nothing, Just for fun?

Would be fun, but as far as I've been told, this is not in any plans for the forum.

I've tossed this idea out at Cinder before as a means to keep users from posting off-topic. It would have the ability to filter profanity automatically and allow us to ban people from using it but I don't think he was interested. Sorry!

Those shoutboxes can be a little off on the censoring part though. One place I used to go to would always edit the word circumvent. Although I had no intention of using it that way, maybe the censor thingy looked at the middle of the word in a vulgar way. doh!
