Ideas and Roadmap for this forum

[admin]

Glimyrpost, I will look into the possibility of nested spoilers

[Glimyrpost]

Also, rather random question:
admin, who are you/what name would I know you as?

[admin]

This is just the technical account for server backend access.

The admins of the forum are Azrael, GR, Thrillho, Mogadishu Jones, and Col. Khaddafi (also King Spam, but he isn't a real admin per-se)

Also, created the Casual subforum, with GR as mod. Will add Shazbot if he shows interest.

[Shazbot]

How about a casual magic section? That is all I play anymore.

Sure thing. Can you mod and nurture it Shaz?

You got it! Me and GR then?

Its just that the way it works is different from what some of us were used in the vbulletin forums.

Here is a tutorial on how to multiquote:

Should work well enough for everything except mafia, and that's not exactly a critical priority atm.

[admin]

OK, good news, I've included the highslide attachment mod modifications to every other skin. Everyone should have cool popup image attachemnts now!

[Thrillho]

is there any hack or way to imbed, for example, soundcloud and similar sharable online audio? my suggestion if this is possible is to make it an option in the music section (and only there or in unlimited posting subsections). my thought was that the sharing style would be similar and unobtrusive as it appears on tumblr (for reference, click the tumblr url in my sig and add /tagged/music).

i'm not good at coding, but can look into how coding looks for it when posting to tumblr, etc.

[admin]

My gut feeling is that this should be easy, just adding some javascript and then wrapping it into a BBCODE (something like [*audio][/audio]

Will look into it.

[( G_G )]

Any chance of an introduce yourself thread or something similar?

[imopen2]

good idea. in the meantime:

welcome goblin_grenade!

[Checkbox]

I would love to mod a cube forum, as either its own subforum or as a subforum of Limited. Ugly Sally's cube community got large enough that they made it its own subforum, though it did start out there as a subforum of Limited.

[admin]

Testing new mp3 tag from here:

[mp3]http://www.blogtalkradio.com/battlerapa ... onight.mp3[/mp3]

Also made a Cube subforum and added you as mod checkbox

EDIT: Does not play for me, but maybe its just my browser

[mp3]download/file.php?id=56[/mp3]

[Thrillho]

same. audio isn't playing for me (macbook using chrome)

[Glimyrpost]

It isn't playing for me in Opera either.

[iamabadman]

win 7 using chrome, not playing

[admin]

Yeah got it, that audio plugin is not working

[Checkbox]

I'm having issues over in the cube forum with chaining spoiler tags within each other - it doesn't work. Also, the [deck] tag doesn't bring up a nice table like it used to, but maybe thats the way its supposed to work? Either way, if possible we should look into both of those things.

[admin]

A question for Thrillho and the others, related to the audio plugin: what streaming services would you like to use here?

[admin]

Thanks a lot Yasuyuki.

We are actually still implementing cool things, and we hope to improve a little bit on the skins through some fine tuning. If you have some other suggestions, feel free to share them

[imopen2]

there shouldprobably be a block subforum

[admin]

Ask and you shall receive

[admin]

You guys might have already noticed it, but a chat feature has been added to the site, and I've finally finished implementing it for all the eight diverse forum skins *phew*.

If you experience any problems, don't forget to refresh your browser's cache (usually with ctrl+F5), and everything should be working fine.

Remember that if you find this feature to be redundant/annoying, you have the possibility to disable this in your user control panel.

Last but not least, The magic forums have been split into two different categories (Magic Fundamentals and The Game), because just one was starting to be very big.

[Checkbox]

Is there a way to make it so it doesn't have to scroll down a ton every time you load the main page? That's my only quarrel with the feature, otherwise very awesome!

usage for soundcloud music streaming:

EDIT: I'm gonna try to make this
less intrusive

[Kaitscralt]

Is there any reason why this site is a carbon copy of Salvation? They're regarded as like the worst Magic site. I know it's probably supposed to be some dark irony because we're the Gutter and they banned all of us, but the humor is lost on me. We look like a bad mirror site. I recommend a renaming of the sub-forums, at the very least.

[Checkbox]

I agree.

[( G_R )]

That's kind of what I tried to do with "Make an Entrance". Our "Rumor Mill" could be named "Leaks and Rumors" (for lulz) and "The Game" section would be "Admit it, you play Magic" in my mind...

[admin]

Agreed, plus Suggestions are welcomed

[Checkbox]

I approve of GR's suggestions

[ExarionUniverse1]

or name each subsection by a famous card:

Example Vintage would become Bazaar of Baghdad

EDH = Taymio's Lair

and so on../

[( G_R )]

I think I like that suggestion.

[Kaitscralt]

It's actually a pretty cool idea, but I'm not sure we should take a good idea from Onar if it's going to be used on his site. To avoid duplication and whatnot. If he doesn't mind us using it I think it warrants further brain-storming. Maybe use a popular land from each format.

Bazaar of Baghdad
Command Tower
Wasteland

Etc

Not sure what to do for Standard

[( G_R )]

Not sure what to do for Standard

Island

[Kaitscralt]

by the way i would like to moderate something like standard when the time comes. make me fill out an application and i'll bring ruin to your families.

[admin]

good idea, we were missing one. done

[Kaitscralt]

thanks boss. now that i am formally banned from trollvation i am ready to help get this pussy wet

This idea was for you guys , we have alot of others for ourselves.

See that's what this should be like , all MTG sites help each other for the benefit of the whole community.

Now I know you guys dislike iridium but it would be beneficial to learn from them , the positive and implement it.

and yes I have no justification to say this but all this energy spent bashing
MTGS , could of been used instead to build this site.


1. either forget MTGS and move on.

2.or peacefully watch them and outplay them .

Dierestore should not be the known as the banned members of MTGS , it should be known as a honest and peace-loving alternative.

Sincerely, Onar
