Core software

  • If the enabled forum skin's number of colors is 0 or less: changeColor() should return false, colors should not render on a user's settings, and the c (color) class for posts should default to 1. Partially implemented; the rest was deemed redundant.
  • If you make a new conversation, make it starred by default
  • More robust e-mail verification system. Separate values for manual and e-mail verification. Require verification if a user changes their e-mail.
  • Show account creation date on hover if "last active" is "never" on user's profile

Post formatting

  • Add checkboxes ([] / [X]) to posts for better todo lists!
  • Maximum length of quotes; longer quote may be suffixed with “...” Max-height added to blockquotes!
  • An elegant way to disable automatic conversion of URLs (google.comgoogle.com) and emotes (:):))

Private conversations

  • Bring back Members-only conversations to include Moderators and Administrators; this will be a private convo for all signed-up members.
  • Exclamation point in front of username (!user) to exclude them from the conversation.

"Change username" functionality

  • Add username timeout for old (taken) names
  • Username history on profiles (probably should be a plugin)
  • JavaScript to check validity of username, etc.

Plugin ideas

  • Field for custom CSS in user settings which applies to that user.
  • Custom regular expression to filter posts.

Blocking users

  • Hide conversations and posts from blocked users
  • Show “you blocked this user” message at the top of blocked user’s profile and their conversations
  • Add “block/unblock this user” button to the profile view for other users

Deleting users (DeleteMember)

  • Code quality audit

Other plugin ideas

  • Plugin idea: Embed videos for YouTube, Vimeo, Bitchute, etc.
  • Automatically convert video links to embeds.
  • User setting to disable embeds from appearing on any posts.
  • Plugin idea: Sort posts(?) and conversations by likes/dislikes
  • Plugin idea: warn users for clicking on links that follows a regular expression
  • User setting to disable this functionality Added to core software with custom formatting for external links.
  • Clear Esoteric Chat of posts and/or shouts belonging to members that don’t exist!
  • User profile db queries for post stats

Colored text when?

Having reactions would be nice.


Reactions? Just reply and explain with a 1800 word paragraph


zerofive - go to this post

Having reactions would be nice.

No, it wouldn't. Half-brained suggestions like this would be the death of this forum is followed. Porting over features from other platforms, such as discord, takes away from the forum's uniqueness. When the features are something as braindead as reactions, which appeal primarily to the youth of today whose attention span is no longer than that of a YouTube short, you degrade the overall quality of the forum and its posts. Such a feature doesn't mesh with the forum as it currently stands. It would be out of place and simply doesn't belong in a forum where posts longer in length than a text-message are supposed to be lodged. If you want reactions, go use discord. Don't try to drop a massive steaming turd that isn't even Andy Sixx's in here.

For discussing new suggestions, please see the conversation Suggestions thread; this thread has more to do with the order of implementing (and checking off) changes planned to be made to the software.


I agree with Schrute. Reactions and updoots are the kind of stupid popularity-contest features that websites for normalfags like Reddit are bound to have.
