Forum of the future?
http://forums.adventchildren.net

I just found it whilest trying to get an FF Victory Jingle for my Motorola,
It seems pretty cool, (content aside) the fact you can earn gil/points and unlock stuff like custom font glows, Its quite novel and seems to add a bit of fun to the whole process, you can buy crap for your sig, new avatars etc.


Any thoughs moderator types? :D

Re: Forum of the future?
I presume you unlock stuff by posting more?

Which just screams "spam frenzy" to me.

Re: Forum of the future?

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Re: Forum of the future?
Or instead of turning it into some crappy pseudo-RPG, you could use a message board for, you know, posting messages. Plus, anything that encourages CD to post here more often can't be a good idea. :p

Re: Forum of the future?
a forum game on that order would need to be fairly heavily moderated to keep it from turning to a total spamfest.
some people have hardly the time to do that.

custom font glows

I read up to here and concluded that it was a horrible idea.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

They always find a way. :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
