Forum tools of the future (what would you like to see?)

[Rob Swanson]

I was thinking with the recent progress in AJAX programming etc..

Not gonna explain what that is, but Message boards / Forums will eventually evolve into something more powerful to use with better features. I think the following would be cool to see:


Avatar could remain static image or a small live video feed of your ugly face


Ms paint or basic level photoshop tools in the reply box so you can deface, high light or add text to pics on the fly

Record button for audio in 30-60 second intervals. Imagine what that could do for the audio booth.


Social network side bar - The ability to be in mid debate on a topic and be able to notify outside sources you personally know and invite them instantly into the thread.


Virtual nudes trapper keeper


Real time "contradiction stats"


Community table. A canvas type area where you can drag and drop certain multimedia files onto it which are represented by a certain icon. Anyone can drag items around. There could be a shelf life for the files with an expiration download date set by user/mod.


Public Ugly/beautiful stats - Zach Morris Looks being the highest achievable stat


USB Breathalyzer + open source forum software to support it - If you're way over the limit you cant log in unless 3 people vote yes.



Personality filtering - The ability to filter out people who fit criterias like (unfunny, smartass, too smart, too dumb, religious obsessed, conspiracy theory addicts, fat, skinny, chunkula, skin color, bone structure, back packer, drug user, drug dealer, pusseh, stalker, or better than you)



Annotations - To be able to add your own to peoples posts. You could rephrase what they really meant to say or just make fun of them and correct grammar!





LETS BUILD.

a rep system based on GUCCEH's



GUCCEH GUCCEH
whenever ppl post picture of themselves with chains that look like rainbows they get REP...for every day they don't post one the loose rep, after a while they'll be ban for being fucking worthless

Gucceh rep...


interesting.





How about tools are visible based on your role in the forum or internet society. Like if your a prostitute who got dumped off at the site by accident and just hang around (not talk about "the music that brings ppl to the site as an example") and just add your whorish two cents and co-sign other worthless fgts


you get prostitute user tools

that does sound possible, but would make sense to have a "dulled out" log of recent statements so you can keep up of whats going on

[Rob Swanson]

I think a sound board would be cool.


It would have short loud gucci mane noises, RZA going AGHHHHHHHH!, Clint Eastwood grunts, gushy split sounds of nature



basically all the good stuff

[sdeblasi]

ha sound board would be funny dont forget Jadakis' "Ehha" and Big Puns noise he makes everytime he breathes

THREAD PROSTITUTION

[Rob Swanson]

i still gotta go pick up the new cappa album when i get paid this week. Cant believe how gay the wu chamber feedback was on something as a fucking real as that album. instead everyone is more concerned with blue rasberry being on OB4CL2 or RZA's new gay rock band collab

[TSA]

that Cant Keep a Good Man Down shit is tear worthy.
Wuchamber is a bunch of depressed faggots with HIV/AIDs

getting musical advice from them is like getting hip hop advice from hip hop shop and Ledge from Know The Ledge.

or advice on life from gen chat.

[sdeblasi]

lol im gettin that album tomorrow all ive heard so far is sombodys gotta go and Fire.....both ill im takin your word on this album tsa

[Rob Swanson]

track 6 is ill just cuz all the woooos! and indian war calls they make as adlibs. Track 8 with Rae and Ratchet is crazy too.
