    Alright this is the thread where I'll keep a list of features we're planning on introduce. I'd appreciate some feedback on the features, like "sounds like a good idea because ..." or "I don't think this will be nessesary because ..."

    It's divided into two sections, the one being those for the near future, the other being features still on the drawing board.

    Soon:

    - Improved News - In the hopes to improve amount of comments on the site we'll be introducing an improved news system soon. It will feature improved posting, anti spam protection, comment rating and burying (never more see stupid comments) with a personalised setting on how low rated a comment can be before it's hidden (with the option to show it of course)
    - More screenshots - Screenshots will be available for more systems, such as N64, GBX, SNES etc, this will open up literaly endless possibilities of points for those who want to help the site. (Will have to figure out a screen size)

    Future:

    - Premium Member Center - We're not too sure exactly what we want to use this to except as a center for every premium feature.
    - Download Basket (Premium Members Only) - This feature is a bit hard to explain but I'll do my best, basically you'll have an option of adding a download to a basket, and once you've added enough files, (untill you're satisfied or it reaches a certain size) you can have it zipped up and placed in your premium member center where you can download it as much as you like for up to 48 hours and send it to your friends. (provided they are also premium members)

    Got a suggestion? Don't be afraid to voice it, a good suggestion gives karma, an implemented suggestions gives more karma. ;D

    would be nice, and they pay 5 points per screeny. ;D
    make sure it's actual gameplay though, and no watermarks from other sites.

    Maybe you could make it so that the longer you are a member, the faster you get points. You could do the same for amount of points, and contribution (like screenies or other services)

    that would not be fair, as we are trying to encourage participation. Most of our members never post on the forum, and we are not keen on giving them extra points for nothing. We would far rather give extra points to active members than people who just download stuff and never say thanks or participate in the community.

    Perhaps you could interpret a system that boosts point gain based on your karma. It would likely encourage people to be active here.

    Unless I'm wrong...

    That is, in fact, in the makings, I've just got to get off my ass and get it done.

    Mmm, I've just got other projects in the making too, legal ones so I tend to spend more time on those as I can actually promote and probably make a profit from those.

    Wow totally forgot about this post, the improved news was thought of dropped as no one comments much anyway. :p

    rest is still being worked on though.

    It would be pretty cool if you added a point scale based on conent for reviews instead of the 2 points per review flat rate. I think this would encourage more people to write reviews other than myself by offering them a little incentive. 8)

    I see your point, but could be difficult to impliment, without encouraging mindless spam
