No offense, but I personally don't seem to like the current Ace-of-spades forums, it lacks many features a normal forum may have, image posting, video embeds, complicated profile pictures, no other member information and a lot that it could have. I know it would be a complete pain to do this, but we should integrate into a new forum system. Like myBB or even freeforums will do.

New forums could help identify members easier, sort posts better, topics, child boards, etc. With a growing community on Ace of Spades. A new forums may be needed.

how do u get a profile picture? just asking

BBPress is limited by default, but there's a wide array of plugins/features that can be added. More feature will be added as time progresses. We won't be "starting over" with new forums/forum software (although I am a big fan of phpbb).

@NinjaAlienRock - Hey Leroy, it's [Real]YourMom. gravatar.com to get a forums pic, just use the same email account that you used for AoS for the pic.

@KomradeTyler - I kinda think we have all of this (not on the forums, but we have this link to present faithfully to you.) http://www.ace-spades-imageboard.com/

hi yourmom
ok that helps
brb

Edit: Goddammit, I was ninjaed. Ignore this post.

^lol. I hope some plugins come in soon.

I prefer BBPress.

Only the bare essentials. I don't want to look at someone's profile and see

"OHAI GUISE MY NAEM IS"

And I really don't want signatures. Seriously.

Signatures? Oh boy, adblock!

"xXxKwikskopezxXx" surrounded in flames with some gay ass quote at the bottom

Oh god, no.

It's not all about signatures....I want embedded images so I dont have to click on every link possible.

Plus one to you Miss Kaede

Signatures can get annoying as hell when they are animated and you are on a slow computer or you're internet conection sucks.

Especially one that everybody is forced to see every time they make a post. Let's not and say we did.

Also we could see who is on, etc. The Moderators have more significant colours, stuff like that.

Embed? There's a certain limit to how lazy one can get, y'know.

But to a certain extent I do agree.

Moderator colors, sure.

People online...

I don't think we need to go as far as getting custom text colors. I'd be writing in orange and bugging the crap out of everybody.
Embedding I somewhat agree with, but it has grounds for abuse.

Any plugins you guys might want?

^same
D: I was talking about keade
you type fast

"WangGuard" sure says it all, Tyler.

Well, it protects against wangs-- I mean, spam and sploggers.

There is already a list of plugins we are looking at. They will be added over time.

Look into coding the clans section as a "spam" section that nobody ever sees on the main page.

Second that.

For now at least embedded images sounds good?
