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:
(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:
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.

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;

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.

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