Winter Overhaul

[Mosley]

Before I start, I'd like to thank everyone whose visited and posted on the site for the last 3 months-- after all, we aren't making this site for ourselves.

Ok, so you may have noticed the lack of content updates lately. This is primarily because MLV is a collaboration of work between three fairly busy people. When the team does meet, MLV is rarely the focal point of our conversations.

However, winter break gives us the unique opportunity to get together and work on the site, without the stress of our usual day-to-day schedules. Because of this, we have come to the realization that winter break is a perfect time for us to bring new features to our users.

We have a few goals which we are already working towards meeting, including a guild system, a new forum layout, and a full database update. However, beyond that we aren't sure which features you (the community) are looking for.

So please, tell us which features you would like to see the most, and we'll do what we can to make the site the best we can!

Possible Features
- Gem Fighter Database (Huuuuge task)
- New smilies
- Combo data for certain exocores
- Multiple color schemes for forum

I'm leaning towards the guild system. Though a forum makeover's my 2nd choice.

[Mosley]

We are planning on getting all three of those tasks completed.

We were originally going to use the "new" forum design with the site, but due to technical difficulties we were forced to use the skin you're seeing now. It's always sort of upset me, as the forum template was the only thing on the site which we didn't create ourselves.

But yeah, if it comes out anything like the original, you guys are in for a treat.

[Keiko]

Hmm...I don't think my bro's familiar with this kind of forum though. My bro can SORTA forum skin.

I don't think you should add a GemFighter database, if you do I don't think you would be able to talk about the site on RF or the OGP forums.

[Mosley]

Yeah Blue, I figured that might be a problem at first too, but then I realized no one from OGP really cares what we do here, as long as its not on their site.

A different set of smilies would rock!
the ones we have now make me kinda sad T.T

[Komos]

I can provide data on Gem items if you need it. Just ask =D

[Mosley]

As far as smilies go, feel free to suggest sets that you like. Keep in mind our forum runs on vBulletin.

I got an idea, Once we get a larger community, Or right now, Put some requirnments for stuff like editing deleting, Etc. Take some of the OGP.. Here are some...

Editing - 50
Deleting - 300
Move your own thread(?) - 700
