Hey guys,

Just to let you know, we are planning a quick refresh of the forums this week. The page layouts and navigation are remaining the same but there'll be some minor cosmetic tweaks.

We'll also add the ability to add a small avatar under your nickname. But don't worry, for those of you that hate such fripperies, you'll be able to disable the display of avatars in your MyFreeola account.

With a bit of luck we'll be making these changes tomorrow.

How about giving us a free hand job for every 100 posts?

I seem to remember you mentioning a nurse who could do that for you.

There is a 'phone number for that but I think it's for certain types of people, i.e. those who are mentally incapable of understanding why they get the urge to sexually molest others.

That's not me ... I know exactly why I want to sexually molest others.

How about an invisible lurker option, but it'll still list you as online. =)

I'm just keen to know how many users are on at any one moment.

Yep. I prefer that one too.

> - Who's online list. (List of people logged in and lurking)

Maybe an online counter thingy, so you know how many users (or even guests) are online, that way people like Nin, who don't want others to know they're online, wont actually be seen online... (did any of that make sense?)

That sounds really cool :)

I get constantly bugged by that, learnt to ignore it now tho'

I thought they were purple *looks deep into name*

Oi, staffies, what about this...

The points we accumulate from posting and gameadays (Maybe 1 point per post, 100 points per Gameaday) could be used on a virtual betting system, where we stake our points on an event, i.e. who will win this football match. The staffies or mods (i'd be happy to run something like this) would provide odds, such as 3-1, so if someone was to stake 20 points and win they'd then be on 80 points :)

What does everyone think of that?
