New Features

[Softpaw]

I recently built my own PHP-based forum (built from phpBB), and I've discovered the wonderful world of hacks, add-ons, and other customizations (www.phpbbhacks.com is a wonderful source). This got me thinking, would new feature add-ons be a possibility here?<br><br>If it's something do-able without a PHP expert on call, it could be a fun way to customize the board (though this forum software seems to have a lot more features than phpBB).<br><br>Just a random 5:00 AM thought!

There's a lot of a good mods out there for IPB (which is what Define Cynical runs). One place to go is <a href='http://www.invisionize.com' target='_blank'>Invisionize</a> which used to be IBPlanet.

I like that idea. I think it'd be pretty cool just to see on a map exactly where we all are!

[Gizensha]

How detailed would the maps be? I mean, would they be detailed enough to be able to discern between where me and Lilac live?<br><br>Anyway, no matter, I think it'd be a great idea.

I answer "Go"<br><br>and I wager "For it"

This idea has my full backing. And fronting, for that matter.

That sounds cool to me

So... here's an informal request for proposals.<br><br>If we are to upgrade to a new system, we need a way to keep as much of the existing information as possible and consider the implications, i.e. the additional resources needed, the downtime necessary for a migration, the user-friendliness of the new system, what additional staff would be required, etc..
