What is it you want to see more of?

Bishounen, and/or yaoi!
(That, and reviews. Maybe reader reviews. And something to prompt more people to rate games so we can get a more solid base of game ratings.)

What is it you want to see less of?

Male fanservice! Well, okay, I don't mind it as long as we get more of the other kind. Oh, and comment trolls.

Do you like the podcasts and/or video content?

I honestly haven't used them as much as I should. One of those things I keep meaning to get around to. ^^;;

Would you like them better with folks from the industry in them?

Probably, just because it would add even more depth.

Do you prefer Japanese, America, European/other games or just all games that are good?

In general, probably Japanese, although there's good stuff from every continent.

Do you like the game collection/wishlist/ranking features?

Yeah, but I'd like to see some sort of incentives to get more people to use them, or at least the ranking ones.

Do you like the blog features?

Yeah, they're alright, although I have a livejournal for most of my blogging needs. :p

What user features would you like to see?

Reader reviews, which it seems like I see listed as "coming soon" everywhere... not sure if it's because the games just don't have reader reviews submitted, or because it's a feature that's just not implemented yet. Oh, and maybe an editorial feature.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Oooh, finishing up with the tough questions, eh? Depends on my mood... sometimes, chocolate chip cookie dough. Sometimes, something simple like chocolate. Or if I'm all chocolated-out (which is hard to do), maybe even something different, like... honeydew or something.

Oh oh... or... ginger ice cream! I've only managed to have it once, and absolutely *loved* it! I really really wanna find someplace to be able to get some for at home. :(

Bishounen, and/or yaoi!

i hate you....

__________

What is it you want to see more of?

-IP Bans ^^^
-previews (although I guess this is less something you can do and more something that will happen as the site gets bigger)
-you already know the suggestions I made for the forums and I tink the main site is really pretty good.

What is it you want to see less of?

-Famitsu Review Scores, I honestly don't see why anyone even cares
-Japanese Sales, it might be more exciting if there was some, you know, change in them :-P

Do you like the podcasts and/or video content?

-I do. I won't say I listen very often because they are kind of long but the ones I've listened too have been well done.

Would you like them better with folks from the industry in them?

-that'd be neat, but I don;t think it qould make me tune in or anything if I wasn't going to anyway.

Do you prefer Japanese, America, European/other games or just all games that are good?

-You mean news, I prefer news about American games, not US-made ones, but actual news about their releases if that's what this implies.

Do you like the game collection/wishlist/ranking features?

-Yeah, I don;t know what the wishlist is but I use both the others, I think most people do?

Do you like the blog features?

-so so, I check them, but I'm not really a bloggy person.

What user features would you like to see?

-I'd like to see the FAQS take off, the example one was really nice.
-Comments on the Reviews? or at least some kind of discussion, I know there are the forums now but I don't think it's quite fitting.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

-joke question? how can one possibly decide, they are all good except for Coffee-based ones.

it's not that i hate it, well i do, it is that i didn't know what it was!

Posted By: joshschw-Famitsu Review Scores, I honestly don't see why anyone even cares

Regardless of how people may feel about Famitsu's reviewers, Famitsu often has the VERY FIRST reviews of games. So, posting their scores is worthwhile.

-I'd like to see the FAQS take off, the example one was really nice.

Rich's FAQ design is indeed nice. I think it's kind of pointless competing with GameFAQs, but perhaps we could settle for a merely decent-sized FAQ audience.

-Comments on the Reviews? or at least some kind of discussion, I know there are the forums now but I don't think it's quite fitting.

That's certainly something to consider. It would be nice for the readers and the reviewer to go back and forth discussing certain aspects of the game.

I want to see more non-news content. Previews, reviews, user-written previews, user-written reviews. I also want to see a new site design.
I want to see less of ivoodoo or whatever dizzy don mega's new account name is.
I love the podcasts, but you knew this already. (Get on an Apple payment plan already, Justin!)
I would certainly love industry folks in the podcast or GAFtv. If you get Alexander Smith on one of those things, I will send you money. (No, I'm serious. Preferably in the form of paying for site merchandise that doesn't suck.)
I prefer Japanese and American games.
I like the game tracking features.
Yes, I use the blog.
Give us user reviews and user previews featured on our account pages, and an interface to track gamertags/PSN IDs/Wii friend codes of the site's users. Also, DS friend code tracking please.
Chocolate chip owns you all.

Posted By: terpfenOh, also, game database entries for Virtual Console versions of games, please.

You know that we do have VC entries, right? But erm, yeah, sometimes it takes us a while with the VC and XBLA.

Anyway, database is now up to date. ;o)

Here's some suggestions for the blog feature (I haven't looked enough at other things to make any recommendations):

-Let us put up a picture on the left corner or right corner.

-I know we can have friends, but could we have a way of knowing when our friends, say, write a new blog or post a comment somewhere? Something simple, like their name would be a different color or something.

-I guess just customization of our blog, really. Make it "our own".

Those are a few of the things I thought of when looking at it. Thanks for reading!

no. then you'd have people change comments and stuff, it's worth having a typo for that.

Posted By: SirAileronWell, it's somewhat loony when someone forgets that the "<" sign breaks stuff in the comment display.

We staff members don't typically edit the content of posts (because y'all might not like that too much) but if there's a broken post, sometimes it'll get edited. So like Josh said, I'd much rather have the occasional typo/ broken comment than people changing their posts all around.

Hey, you're welcome to your opinion. Just giving some insight. :o)

.

Ah, you finally showed up!

Can we have karma in the forums?

Both.

Get rid of those damn smiley adds! Seriously guys... I don't like being negative, but they are killing the site for me! I actually dread coming here now, because I hate those adds so much!

Are we going to get a little space below are posts for custom sigs? That would brighten up the place a bit.. maybe.

Of course, you'd want the option to take it away from certain members who might abuse it. I don't know how tough that would be to implement though.

hehe, it could be okay but 500x150 is much too large, just imagine that after each post in here.

How about splitting the games category into "Games News" and "Games Discussion". I for one, would like to post threads about individual games, bit I fear a single games forum like we have right now would become overcrowded rather fast.

Maybe I haven't come up with the best forum names to describe what I mean, but I hope you get the idea.

What Burk said. For a problem like that I'd rather be reactionary than preparatory. If it ain't broke [yet], don't fix it.

no. just make up your mind. you can't honestly differentiate between 20 different scores for a game.

just minor nitpicking here.....but is it possible for the title of the smash bros update news thread on the main page to not reveal the actual updates?

just seems to spoil the surprises this game may have in store for us

Unless it's like... "Sonic's Final Smash", then it might spoil something. :P

This is gonna sound silly but, can we have something other then a white background? It might just be my crappy monitor and my tired eyes, but the brightness of the forums is giving me a headache.

Even a reduction in the amount of white space might help, if you're not going to change the background itself.

Fix the freaking BBCode to handle urls properly.
