    [​IMG] Good ideas. Keep em coming, I won't be doing it till the end of the week anyway, so feel free to submit more thoughts on this subject.

    Oh and another thing... I've decided on the number of new user levels...
    It will be 20 for regular users, the moderators keep their own as they were.

    I have a few ideas what those 20 levels should be (definitely fantasy related, even from the games we cover), but I need a lot of suggestions so I have a big selection to choose from.

    Peasant, Berk, Squire, Modron, Elemental, Celestial, Knight, Transcendent One, Assassin... something along those lines. The more suggestions I get, the better.

    Sure, if that's legal where you live. Not on these boards though. ;)
    That's not the topic of discussion anyway.

    BTA, I think we want to stay away from magic user types. Reserve them for the moderators only.

    I wonder, if these new ranks might be related to the nature of each individual? I'm a bit of a philosopher, I'm also fairly skilled with effective eloquence. I'm a problem solving strategist, and I'm built fairly solidly.

    The Wise, The Grey - Commander in Chief of the Mad Philosopher's Union. heh heh :D


    Maybe a system of guilds would work out. Everyone would still start as an acolyte, earn their apprenticeship, and then move on to a trade. This could all fit into the role-playing deal. Multi and/or Dual Classing as well?

    I don't know what UBB is capable of, nor do I know how thorough you want to be. Just a few ideas...

    Eh, Shura I understand the odd-numbered lines of your posting, but will you, please, be so kind and translate the rest to a more common way of expression. :)

    Mh, me ID10T too. *fg* On the second look i got the second line. Only the 337 is still a riddle to me.

    Ow! 20 ranks ? Then I'd better start listing posts fast :D

    Uhm.. oh yes, to take this post a step higher then mindless spam, I'd like to add that this stunning amount of new ranks is enough without the real need for avaters, altough something special for the staff should be kept in mind.

    avatars should only be given to people who earn them.

    other titles could be-
    berk, berkier, berkiest, berkister, berkiestest, berkiester, berkiestester.

    what about it tal.

    i would like to know your thoghts on the "avatars should only be guven to people who earn them" so please reply.

    That's my idea too and since most of the people seem to be in favor of it, it will be so.

    I reckon that avatar's should only be allowed for either people who have posted a certain number of posts or people who have been here a while. I'm almost certain that people would missuse this tho.

    20 ranks?

    Hmmm, for the names of the ranks how about Level 1, Level 2,... Level 20?

    How's that for creative? :) Of course, when BG2:ToB comes out you'd have to change the board to reach level 40...

    Might I suggest this, straight from the Community pages:

    Sorcerer's Place Team

    Sorcerer (a.k.a. Taluntain) - Founder and Webmaster of Sorcerer's Place, Chief News Editor, Content Editor, Boards O' Magick Admin etc.

    Darien - Daily News Editor

    Erran - Head of Ancient Order of Reasonably Trustworthy Adventurers (AORTA NWN Guild)

    Blackthorne - Boards O' Magick Moderator

    Calis - News Monkey

    Nazgul - Pool of Radiance: RoMD News Poster

    Another suggestion: Any other candidates will be named exclusively by Taluntain, and submitting your own name will remove you from consideration. If this turns into a circus of requests and jealousies, then the entire idea is likely to get canned.

    Just my 2coppers...

    Yes, avatars are pictures. As for who gets them... I'll let people know once I actually get it up and running.
