The ability to be able to embed YouTube vidoes into the board. How about it, Sheyla?

EDIT: Dang, could someone move this to Board Issues?

I agree, but the problem is that there would be tonnes of off-topic videos and such.

The mods can delete or yell at the users just as they do with of-topic posts.

Neat idea. I'm a member of a ProBoards that has that feature.

I love the idea, however.. it isn't up to me.

As far as I know, there are no planned upgrades to the forums anytime in the near future.

No room for Board Updates in their budget?

Midway doesn't make the forum software, and has no say in when updates happen. That's all another company (IGN, actually).

IGN owns these boards? I didn't know that.

No, IGN owns the forum software. Midway owns the forums, they just lease the software/maintenance/server space from IGN.

Lots of companies contract out their forums, these days.

It's pretty obvious if you've seen IGN. Same software. Also, the Head Administrator at IGN, Homer is admin here too.
