    Hey guys, not entirely sure if I should even post this, but I'd like to do this anyway.
    (I got permission)

    After the crash, a lot of competitions, games, great threads, great blogs and most importantly; great members all went missing. -_-

    It's great that we still continue to act as a solid community, but I cant feel that a huge chunk of us is still missing, so I asked myself how things could be better... and that's when you guys come in!

    In this thread, you guys need to post things that went and you'd like to see up and running again! Post ideas, thoughts, niggles... and everything else you think could make NF a better place!

    Obviously, the staff can't be running everything on here 24-7 but we'll try to do whatever to make this place awesome.

    Go!

    The Fickle Fascination of an Everlasting God
    Alright, well, just a few competitions that I was fond of were the Review of the Month and the Writer of the Month competitions. I participated in both on a near-monthly basis, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants them back. In addition to those, and to be fair, I'm sure that there are plenty of people who'd like to see the Artist of the Month competition return, as well. Personally, I never had time to enter, but there were plenty of other people who did. So, those are just a couple ideas of things I'd like to see come back.

    I'd like the database back up. I loved that and I wished it were more active. I would personally help you out, such as compiling the new data into BBCode so you don't have to do it and then just sending it to you. But seriously, I really want it back. Maybe, to get more members active with it, a badge or PIP for contributing a certain amount?

    Perhaps some sort of clan system utilizing the group system Zetaboards can do? It would be interesting. ;D

    And what Iggy said.

    Clan group? The only thing I had in mind was making specific groups for certain interests like design and have members join.

    Apparently users can form clans with customized groups using Zeta. They naturally would have user chats designated to their group only, and it would be a place where they would wage battles and stuff.

    Then again, it's entirely up to you if your up for it. ;D

    A graphics clan would be epic. I would love that. I support that idea

    Eh, seems like a lot of work for something irrelevant.

    Essentially, if enough user interest is generated, we could make a group with a member as a leader and have them discuss whatever in their own forum. Then again, it might take away from the regular graphics forum. Something to think about.

    Technically the forum is fantastic; it's the member base that's changed, diluting members we consider active and contributive. I'd like to see tighter warn-systems for the generally unpleasant. There are also a few user chats that have been stirring up negatives: the chat designed as a loophole to the advertising rule reflects badly on our members and staff, and the community center seems filled with fairly pointless popularity contests that we, as a community, have discouraged since the forum's creation. Overall, I can see plenty of technical improvements; I've forgotten about the server crash, we've got new skins and features, but the issues aren't being tackled.

    Competitions are certainly do-able. It just depends when the respective people who run them have enough time. I'm sure some of the members could fill in or something while they're not here.

    This clan system I'm hearing about sounds good... but what would the clans be about? I was thinking of having them split into genre:
    "The shooter group"
    "The platformer group"
    "Strategy group"
    etc. etc.

    Or publishers (except Nintendo)
    "Team Enix"
    "Team Sega"
    "Team Capcom"

    It might work, and I guess each team could have a HQ with password access and/or certain members can view.

    I don't like the idea of segregation... I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one not to really get involved with it.

    Segregation? This isnt blacks can't vote stuff, this is Phillies vs Braves stuff. I like the idea

    Which could be a fairly pointless competition that people lose interest in and a way of having members not talk to eachother at worst. The idea of splitting the forum into three teams doesn't make sense. Yeah, they'll talk to eachother outside those topics but if the teams are only populated by Kokiris mostly then what's the point?

    it wouldnt really be spitting the forum, members would probably be able to joi on their own accord, and maybe some allowed to join 2 or more,
