It's been a while since the forum has had any significant updates and I think it's about due time so I thought I'd suggest bringing back a few former store addons that were removed just before the reopening of the forum.

1.) Namecolor

Namecolor was a classic forum addon that allowed individuals that purchased this addon to stand out. It created uniqueness and made the forum more colorful and could be changed to any color you desired.









2.) Nameglow

Nameglow is similar to to namecolor except it adds a glow around your username. This applied in all the same places namecolor did and this too was customizeable.



The CSS code:
text-shadow: #FF0000 0px 0px 0.2rem, #FF0000 0px 0px 0.2rem, #FF0000 0px 0px 0.2rem;
(Hex code would be replaced each time by the hex code assigned by the user)
I'd also like to add that this isn't the original nameglow CSS. After looking at the old glow it seemed more faded and less bold so I decided to change it up a bit.

3.) Rainbow nameglow

Rainbow nameglow was once again another old addon but a one loved by many. It was similar to regular nameglow, but instead combined multiple colors to create a rainbow glow effect.



CSS code:
text-shadow: 0px 0px 2px #FF0000, 1px 1px 2px #FF3C00, 2px 2px 2px #FFFF00, 3px 3px 2px #00FF00, 3px 3px 2px #0000FF, 4px 4px 2px #9900FF;

These 3 addons really did add a whole other level to customization on the forum - something that is currently lacking at the moment. I'd really love to see these addons added back, and I'm sure others would too.

What's your opinion on these 3 addons? Is there any other former addons you'd like to see added back to the store, or is there any new additional addons you'd like to see added? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

This would be a good thing to implement, and if not as add-ons, maybe as prizes for events on DSGHQ games or forums.

Nice. The only problem is with name color since I don't want people faking rank colors.

I really hope these will be brought back! In addition to this, I feel like there should be other ways to get forum gold...I'm pretty active and it's still hard to earn. I think Damen should bring back OldCP account linking, so we can use our OldCP gold on forums. I feel like this would be useful because I don't really have anything to do with my gold. If this can't be done then I hope another easier way is implemented.

give ranked forums users a badge next to their name that signifies whether they are a true Moderator, Administrator, or Press.

Would it be possible to block people from entering specific hex codes like #FF0000 and #0099FF for name colors? Also maybe warn or punish those that violate this and try to use other hex codes that look very similar to rank colors.

I guess it would, but I don't want things to get confusing rank wise to newcomers also
