#283774Post 47 of 72

is the movie review forum really needed?

#283796Post 48 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

A lot f people posted about Movies so we installed it...we'll see if it works or not but subforums or forums are no ressource hogs..don't worry about them as it's only personal taste if you use them or not.

#283805Post 49 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

On another note...how many of you use the option in your Profile to hide avatars/pictures and signatures so they are not displayed because you are at work or your woman/husband/kids are behind you? You know, work and family safe. :P

I never have to hide anything, NSFW or whatever.

the games are fun.. but are the trophies and such neccesary? just a question. again take it or leave it as far as the trophies, but keep the games.

#283873Post 54 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

Yep, just avatars... images and signatures are ok – that's just me though :unsure:[/quote]

I've got it set the same way. Avatars off but not images in posts or sigs.

#283923Post 56 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

  • Country Flags: [color=#0078ff]they're a nice thing to have (although the flag for argentina is too blue and the sun is kinda ugly :P)[/color]

  • Online today on Index: [color=#ff0000]never looked at that list[/color]
  • Calendar Mod: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Shoutbox: [color=#ff0000]not interesting for me[/color]
  • Knowledge Base: [color=#d200ff]woulnd't it be better to have it on a subforum instead of using a mod? one that only mods can edit?[/color]
  • Mini Cal v2.0.2: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Multiple File Upload (Photo Album addon): [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Photo Album: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Points System: [color=#0078ff]is that the karma? that's a nice one[/color]
  • Postings Popup (This MOD will create a link from the replies in view forum which will create a popup window showing the users who have made posts to that topic together with the number of posts that they have made.): [color=#ff0000]not interesting for me[/color]
  • Prillian: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Printer-friendly topic view: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Rating system (Users rate individual posts to produce overall ranks for posts, topics and users.): [color=#ff0000]never used it, and I think I only saw one topic that was rated[/color]
  • Supercharged Album Pack: [color=#ff0000]never used it[/color]
  • Tell A Friend v1.3.0: [color=#ff0000]never used it (just use email or im for spreading the word)[/color]
  • Yellow card: [color=#0078ff]mhhh, it's good that everybody can see who has been 'carded' but it's not an essential mod[/color]

the games were great at first, but now I haven't played any in like a month... get rid of'em if you want.

:)

#284282Post 58 of 72

i HATE prillian. I have said that every time heh.

I never use the links, radio, and I rarely download. I mainly use GYY, music recomendations, and USA events.

Re: Speed up the forums....

  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Country Flags[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - That's what the Location part of our profile is for.
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Birthday Mod[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - Birthdays are overated.
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Online today on Index[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - It's a forum, not a chatroom
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Calendar Mod[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - We can use the calendar that comes on our OS
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Shoutbox[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - It's cute, but not needed
  • Photo Album - I don't upload any, but I know it's cool to see others' pics
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Points System[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - What's the point? [i]Zing![/i]
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Postings Popup[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - Anything that "pops up" is the work of Satan himself in my opinion
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Printer-friendly topic view[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - I don't use it
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Rating system[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - Who cares?
  • [strike:b5ee584ff1]Tell A Friend v1.3.0[/strike:b5ee584ff1] - I don't need a program for telling friends.

Anything I left out I have no idea what it is. I mostly just use the forums. I don't have time for games or any of the other stuff. :ChatterB:

#287342Post 60 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

All i use here is the forum, search, and d/l's

Re: Speed up the forums....

ok it sounds good to me.

#288060Post 69 of 72

[quote=TomTom";p="69227]Please tell us how much you use/like to keep especially these features:

  • Prillian

  • Album section (besides the possibility to upload an avatar to ms)

  • Links section[/quote]

  • Prillian- Nope

  • Album..... i use the personal album; the album section nope

  • Link section - any times....

#288114Post 70 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

Prillian : Never ever, I think this is almost assured that you guys will be trashing this

Album section : Never ever...

Links section : Knew pretty much all the links that are in there anyway, so maybe once or twice I've skimmed it over

Radio : Haven't gotten it to work with FireFox, and I listen to maybe one or two of those radio stations anyway, which I knew about without using the Radio link, so trash it :Naughty:

Games I use, so plz keep those, even though phpbb-amod.com's games section has totally gone down the crapper. Almost everything else is pretty useful :Bingo:
