Silkroad Online Forums

Rizla's referring to some random dude that popped up and asked for a Signature. He gave no specifications, had poor English, even though his location was in the US, and just kept saying "Make me whatever you want," when people explicitly told him to give them atleast SOME ideas, because you can't just pull stuff out of thin air.
This comes to the idea that, perhaps, it'd be good to either have a tiny Subforum, like all the Subforums in the Guilds & Clans section, or atleast a Stickied thread that could especially handle requests, in a clear, and concise format, thus, making it easier for the person fufilling the request (such as Rizla), to make a Signature. After all, these artists are offering their own time, and the least someone could do is make their job easier.

I agree with Rizla - even if no Subforum is made, I think an attempt to make some sort of Stickied thread, would be good.

i have another suggestion. dont ask me the specs or the bandwidth it would
use.. but on a forum i used to be on a lot, we had the option to show youtube
videos in posts by putting the youtube url between [youtube] and [/youtube].

like i said, i dont know how this can be embedded in the forum or how much
of the bandwidth it would take, but perhaps this could be a sort of new "fun
factor" and we could have real stickied youtube threads for player movies
and fun movies etc.

if you think this is a good suggestion, i could pm the mods on the other forum
to ask em some details.

Suggestion: Multi-Quoting System
Reason: I think its a great feature if you want to respond to multiple people in 1 post. You dont have to click "Quote" on one, copy the post, hit back, go into the next, repeat, etc.

Example: http://www.diy-street.com forums

Suggestion: More characters allowed in your Signature (as opposed to the current 400)
Reason: There's just not enough - the BBCode stuff, like linking URL's take up quite a bit of space already, so I was just wondering if it'd be possible to atleast expand the Sig limit to around 700 or so?

For example...
I wanted to do this in my Sig:
The Complete Blader

Now, those are only three words, or a few characters.
However, what I had to put in was:
[url=http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=43909]The Complete Blader[ /url]
(Take out the space)... which amounts to quite a bit more characters that take up valuable space.

As you can see, would it really take up that much bandwidth or whatever it's called to make the Character Limit a bit more? As I like to link a few things in my Sig, but I can't, because that'll take away from the space available to put other things in my Sig. I understand this might be a problem for people who will have massive Sigs... but... hm.

unless you want a sig with like 10 or more of them your not gona need more spaces, i hate the size of some peoples sigs and i think mine is too big aswell 250chars would be enough

Suggestion: PK2 Section.
Reason: Half of Guide/Tutorials is filled with PK2 stuff.

Master Wong's (Dong, lulz) sig IS big. O_O.

I will get on that this weekend.

yay!
.
btw.. limewire cat O_O
Where will it be? a whole new section? a sub section?

i will get on that = i will discuss it

oh.. discuss it..
*picks up peices of shattered hope*
*tries to glue back together*

Introducing: http://tinyurl.com/

Theoretically it wouldn't take anymore bandwidth as the videos are hosted externally but I could be wrong. Very wrong.

i would like a place were you can find a guild to make a war with, like i post my guilds lvl but not members cuz thats a secrete and i post my server and then whoever wants to accept th GW just replies then we meet and we do it

also a story section, personnally i would like to hear bout other ppls stories and stuff like that, some stories r intresting =P

those r just suggestions.

I waited for a long time because I thought someone else would bring it up, but I'm starting to doubt that so I'm just going to say it:

Will someone please the 'Other SRO Versions' in the sidebar to the left?

if you like easy stuff and using firefox, try this thing out that soda made
http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=46675

it goes down with your page while you scroll. easy :

Thank you, helps.

One more thing, I don't know if this forum board format allows it, but if it does, can an admin (or mod if you guys can do it...) turn on Javascript '[hide][/hide]' I need it for a guide I'm writing and I think it'll help organize all the guides much better, saves cin the trouble of linking every guide w/ # scripts.

<3

we cant do that, but maybe one of the admins can.

good idea and spam bots wil suddenly get a lot more fun

im getting tired of just pics ok?

meh idk, to be honest, the other forum im on is close to spambot-free,
so maybe thats why they can do that stuff

+999

Hm.... well this might actually make spam bots more lethal. They can put up a picture that can look like a video but is actually a malware link, but still, despite all of this it'd be nice to have video's in my sig as I hate spending time making them.

i want more smileys (emoticons)

Suggestion: More mods!
Reason: There's times when there are absoutely no mods around, and certain people reak havoc on our poor little community.
Some subforums have a lack of moderators as well, what if the mod was to go on vacation or something?

More mods ftw.

Since there they are many people here that doesn't know what they are talking about or give wrong answers, there should be a section called "Ask D2A a question"

In that section, anyone that asks a question will get an answer that is correct.

sub-section 'Jex' for the cookie receiving of well behaved students xD

Suggestion:

More user ranks


say 2000, 4000, 8000 not much to ask for


and i already brought this up with sui but i wanna write it down incase i forget

uh why you want it ..really ?

Agreed.
Will just cause people to spam more.
I say...bring a rep system into play.
my.is has one that is effective

well it just seems everyone has the same rank its kinda boring

o.O I see and what you want be called , "Master member" hehehe. .or on 8000 post Crazy member...
