All of the avatar topics have been moved to the Fan Art section, so that's one down. :3

Technically, we would need a Skylanders Fandom area. The current Fandom Forum is for SPYRO.

sorry lego, sometimes it is hard to tell when people are sarcastic on here.

it's okay Yeah, that's the problem with typing, people can't tell if you're joking!

What about the Skylander contest topics?

Heir mods.

Cami, it's "Hire Mods".

Hire? What, you expect him to pay for people to be moderators?
The proper word to use would be recruit.

I doubt he meant that. He knows Dark is not going to pay.

Ah alright, was just making it clear

lots of people would do it for free. if i had to pick mods, it would be aura24 and bionicle2809.

Skylanders Giants Forum Headers for us to choose?

It would be good if dark set a respectful, helpful mod that would tke care and banned or gornc the right people...

Oh god, mods will ruin this forum. Too many power hungry types will ruin it.

Are you saying that it would be better in its current, non-moderated condition?

Moderators will help dark watch this forum while he's away and deal with problems that he couldn't attend to immediately, like porn trolls or spammers. The forums here is already a little ruined due to dark52 not tackling on reports as he should.

And dark52 already confirmed that he intends on doing mod applications before christmas if possible.

Quote: dark52

I will admit that in the last month or so I've fallen a bit behind on tackling the reports. I wasn't planning on saying anything until I'd finished sorting out the behind-the-scenes stuff but I do intend to open moderator applications some time soon, I was aiming for before Christmas if possible.

As far as suggestions go, i would suggest a third major board in the spyro/skylanders section for Fan projects.

there are a huge amount of them at the moment between Project Frixion, Spyro: Eclipse, and Skylanders:old and new.

This :>

I guess, but that's why we have the fandom section, but I know what you mean.

the problem is its way too cluttered.

stickying all three projects would be a decent fix but a project forum would be the best solution.

Maybe each user can have their own gallery?

Maybe pictures showing in guestbooks?

Mass PM! (As HIR said)

Opening closed topics. Private topics? Automatically showing new posts on a topic.

Yeah, I want this too.

^I APPROVE THIS POST!

Images in GB. This has probably been mentioned before (and probably denied too), but I still think that if Youtube videos can work in a GB, images should too. If necessary, you can put a limit as to how many images go in the GB (5?) so it doesn't get clogged up (not sure if it's possible to limit the dimensions though).

Wait... strikethrough was denied? Why? I enjoy using strikethrough and I would like it added to the BB Code. >.>

There are too many 'Create Your Own Skylander' topics in the Giants section. Since they're more related to Fan Art, than the game of Skylanders: Giants in general, they should be in the Fan Art section.

The number rise of those topics are starting to become more like the avatar topics now.

Maybe Dark could make a Skylanders Oc/Fan character topic at the top of the fandom section to keep everything in one thread.

And why was strikethrough denied? I think that would be a nice idea.

I also want to know why was Strikethrough denied as well. I use it quite often on other places and was disappointed to see that it was denied here.

I think "strikethrough" is pointless to be honest.

I always have inside jokes to posts, like mutters but then I remember I can't shrink text or can't strike it.
But I guess it's only there for joke purposes as if you wanted to get rid of something you just delete it out.

Same here.

<s>we shouldnt have it</s> we need it!

^Pretty much this.

And because strikethrough doesn't exist, I am forced to use things like "-er....", which looks extremely unorganized and isn't pleasant to look at in a post.

Exactly. There's very limited good ways to joke around using only text. Strikethrough helps me with jokes and funnier posts. ;~;

It's hard to be sarcastic without ruining the joke not using strike through.
I don't like using '' much anymore.

Skylanders Giants section is getting a really weird increase in "(X Giant) HQ" which serves no purpose.
I think this stuff would be much better off in the Spyro/Skylanders Fandom part of the forum..I think though it's that no one else realizes this.

Even though the site is Spyro/Skylanders, I think it'd be much easier for the Skylanders users to comprehend if the fandom discussion was added instead to the Skylanders area rather than lumping it in with general Spyro stuff.

We need a chatroom for this site. And it can be divided into the same sections we have on the forums. It should also allow guests to join too.

Also, dark should have a system where he can send a PM to all users. For example, The HQ thing could be ended. He would need that system to tell all users about that change. Not everyone looks at the site news.

I think this is a bad idea, although it may sound great to have people getting together, and having one big live chat, I just think that this would bring about more disadvantages, than advantages to this site. Allowing guests, I reckon could turn into a big "No-no", this could just attract more "returning" users like "Levi" for example, or could just cause more reasons for "idiots" to break the rules, and spam, and just be down right annoying. Although dark52 could code it so it only shows up for us members, but that takes away the feature where guests can join. Nonetheless, I still don't like this idea.

To be honest, having a chat room with the same forums is sort of just like duplicating this website, it's sort of like a big chat room anyway. Apart from it's getting bigger, and now dark52 has finally realised that he needs help, and I reckon this would just be something extra that is really not needed for him to worry about. We're lucky to see dark52 sign into this website for a couple of hours a day, let alone anything else he does, lol.

And the thing about the "Site News", well people, should actually spend their own time looking up on it if they really are interested to find out, I don't think it's necessary for dark52 to add extra coding just for this feature alone; it seems like a waste of time for him. I personally think that it's fine as it is. Sometimes I don't even want to know about the news each time, especially when I know it's just going to be about Skylanders, almost every time. I haven't got nothing against Skylanders, it's that I'm not interested in it, at all really.

No, I meant changes to the forum, not skylander news.

I was giving an example, sorry for the confusion. My darling one.

How about custom user titles?.. Not sure if it was mentioned yet.

I suggest if you added it, to have a restriction so only a certain amount of gems can activate it. But like, maybe below the users username or below the avatar, they could have a custom text or title? I dunno, I see it on other forums alot.. So..

/didn't read thread at all

A page for art that does not have to do with anything Spyro, just where users can show off creations.
