Request a feature thread
 
I'm curious, what do you guys think would be a good feature to add here. I'm thinking auctions, AEG price guide and video FAQs. Been thinking of making a series of videos with the core FAQ info, kind of a 10 minute Canadian airsoft crash course for new forum members.

Well the basic thing we tell all who come through, get proper footwear, ballistic eye wear, save up, proper safety (treat every weapon as though it's loaded, etc), maybe a venn diagram of sorts for different types/styles of weapons (bolt action v gbb, aeg v gbb, etc), and then finally some tips on certain FAQs that should be read, and maybe a montage later

You're assuming most new people even SEE the FAQ section, much less read it. We've seen much evidence of this...

I'd like to be able to delete my own sales/wanted threads.

Bring back the ban me thread!

We should have a thread that highlights the stupidity of each kidiot that spews onto this site every week or so.

It'd be a good 'What not to do to fuck up on ASC' reference page.

That would be awesome! Except...

... they never seem to read the FAQs, prior threads, search the forum, spell, or form a complete, coherent thought. So a "don't fuck up" page probably wouldn't be of much use...

A great feature would be giving everyone with AV status and/or have shown themselves to be reasonably sound of mind (haha) the ability to outright BAN one un-AV'ed kidiot per year.

... yeah, I'm kinda being wishful here... :rolleyes:

We once had auctions. It did not work too well.

I think the gallery could be revamped.
New people like pictures. I know, when I started, I looked at ALL the pictures for days...

I liked the old trader rating system better

This.

I'd like to see T7 dancing in underwear (we all know she's a lingerie model... right? RIGHT?) when I get on the front page.

Ban me thread is back.

FOX_111 June 27th, 2011 22:40
I can see that.

A sneak peak of the classifieds would be cool. Like none age verified would be able to see the first page of each classifieds, gets to see all the pictures and threads but the names and usernames will be hidden. Would be a good way to see around how much money they should be saving before they get verified.

Actually I was thinking of creating a sub forum with all the dumb shit that got people banned exclusively, and then black-holing those who get banned into that forum for the duration of the ban...so they have nothing to do except read up on how others wound up banned.

that would be awesome. could you set it up so that there is a specific thread about their ban so that everyone who isn't banned could post and ridicule them?

Could just use irc, and create the #asc channel.

ive read that thread, i meant its an actual forum where non aved can sneak peak on only the first page of classifieds, where they can click on each thread, read the thread, but the OP of that thread will be unknown. They'll be able to see the pictures, the price and the marketing skills that we have :P

An article database with a wordpress-esque frontend?

I assume that the rest of us would still be allowed to poke our heads in for the laughs...? It'd be like the Trash, but... Trashier! :D
