Hey! Since the new add ons have been added, I've been thinking about some features that could be added to improve the forum. Most of these is just bringing old features back, but I feel like it would be cool to see them return.
• Master's Return - This was a sacrifice that suspended your account for two weeks and doubled your reputation. I think this was the best sacrifice and should be added back.
• Birthday announcements - I remember this being a feature before. If it was someone's birthday, their name would be listed on the top of the front page. Also, you should be able to set/change your birthday again. You used to be able to, but I'm not sure why it was disabled.
• Levels up to 200 - 100 is currently the highest obtainable level, and most people have already achieved this. I think it would be cool to increase this limit. This was added before for a few days but I am unsure why it was removed. This would also encourage users to be more active and contribute more to the forum.
• Level stars - If you were a member of the forums for 1 year (I think it was) you would get a silver star on the corner of your level. If you were a member for 2, you'd get a gold one. This is a pretty small feature, and doesn't really affect anything, but I just thought it would be cool to have it back.
• OldCP account linking - I feel like it would be nice if you could see people's OldCP usernames from the forum. Some people go by a different username on forums than OldCP, so being able to see this would clear up any confusion. Also, gold shouldn't be transferrable between the two, however I feel that you should be able to view certain OldCP statistics of your account that you can't see anywhere else.
I was just bored and randomly thought of these. In my opinion, these features would make the forum more fresh and adding in new things encourages users to be more active. If you have any feedback, let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading!
