It would be cool to have something like <a href="http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/pro ... 9">this</a>.

Everything except for the blog of course. IDK, just think it would be something cool to do. Refrain from posting something dumb, immature, or off-topic below. Although feel free to add to what I have said, or comment.

:wink:

That would be a good idea, have you messaged Pcguy about it?

i think it would be pretty cool. might be a bit hard to implement into this forum tho, im not sure about the coding. i bet it could be done tho. all up to PCguy.
There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

I'm against an arcade section (once again, we're trying hard to keep this fourm on-topic. PCguy created Theopia for everything else). But improved member profiles would be cool :)

I'll make a note in the Mods Only section for PCguy to look over it.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

So in other words,
Make it a little like a myspace page, only not sucky?

A while back I thought about asking pcguy to expand the profile page in some way, but I figured he was busy with something important since he had been away so long.
I don't know what an arcade section would contain, unless someone feels like making some crappy flash games pertaining to the hobby.

But in general, I think a customizable profile would add interest to the site and probably increase traffic in the long run.

Edit: while were on website related stuff here, I have to ask: has anyone really read this message? It took me so long to catch the mistake.

Haha I never noticed that either... I think I usually don't get it.

It would be cool to have a link to each of your cannons under your name, along with a brief description and picture.

I'm fine with how the profiles are set up, but I agree with Rmich, a little section where you could put links to all your cannons would be cool.

Fnord, I think that only happens when you get either 1 or 5. Not too sure though.
Edit: Nope, I just got 2.4 Spud Bux spud bux!

:lol: Yeah a personal page with links to cannons and topics etc would be sweet. However if anyone would be willing to make some games I'd love to play them. Maybe not on this site exactly but theres a few others (theopia and some others) that would take them.

Also 2.7 Spud Bux spud bux :lol:

Yeah sounds good, and by the way I told PCGUY about that a long time ago, I don't think he really cares and I don't blame him really, he's quite busy and it's only a small gramatical mistake.

...and who is going to make these games?

The script (or similar) might be available, so I'm sure PC wouldn't due more then some small tweaking of a pre-written script. Surely any spud related games wouldn't find there way in. Come on, keep your wishes reasonable...
