This is simply a number of thoughts that wouldn't take much effort but would make the site a better and more efficient place.

1 - I think creating a 'trading' thread would be very useful and be a good idea. Many people trade games over SR and have to start threads in FOG chat, the PS2 forum or the Ninty forum to do so. This gets in the way of chat topics, however if there was a 'trading' forum then all the posts could be made there and the posts wouldnt get in the way of the regular posts. Also any person who was thinking of trading a game could look in the trading forum to see what was on offer and swap a game with them.

2 - An ACTUAL chatroom. The chat forum takes a few minutes for people to see your message and to acknowledge it. In a chat room it is instentanious and it would save loads of half-wits being on your msn contacts list.

3 - Put the blue border RIGHT into the corner. That is how it used to be and it looked better like that, the big white gap is unsightly, urgh!


There are my ideas, feel free to post your own. Staffies, I want answers, and fast :-P

Just one question.

Why did you post this in FOG?

Those 3 ideas all suck.

You can manage trading without a forum for it.

We don't want a chat room, there are plenty elsewhere, this is a forum.

Who cares about a border?

People would blatantly still blame SR. Why? Because the majority of people on these forums are just plain stupid.

If they simply posted a "SR is not responsible for any dodgy gits you may encounter" warning, they couldnt be blamed.

OI! Anyway I don't do that after "Sexybabe111" was really Nigel from Swansea.
