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

1) been done before, didn't work as the staff got blamed any time something went wrong, despite it having nothing to do with them.

2) this is a forum, not a yahoo chat room. if you want to chat up lasses, go elsewhere

3) menu bar on the right is the industry standard for any number of reasons which I won't bother to quote here.
