I was waiting for this. Yeah, I do it a bit. I prefer hiding them to finding them tbh.

Seems like a decent idea but also a waste of space..

I think the idea is horrible. This is a rap battle website

I could think of 1,000,000 things LB could use before they implement a fucking activity tracking calender

Well don't keep them to yourself. Name a few...

You seen that one down by you where you gotta walk across a fuckin pipe to get to it?

Honestly, I think small cosmetic awards (like emcee items) are most valuable in large communities, where people don't know most other users well. Since you can't become familiar with everyone, you rely on badges and such to tell you about people. With a smallish community like LB, where active users are usually well-known to each other, it's less relevant because you already know people in detail.

That's not to say that they're useless, just that they aren't nearly as valuable as they would be if LB had 10,000 active members.

My sentiments exactly... It's a way to instantly see shit about people before you even look at their record, or start perusing their battles.

@Nicholas
The calendar's not a bad idea at all, but it is a bit boring. Using things like emcee items and awards is a much better way to go about displaying achievements.

EDIT: That doesn't mean it shouldn't be used as a way to track that particular category of achievements. It just seems sort of lame to have the actual calendar displayed on people's profiles. Maybe that's just me though

It's not a bad idea, I'm just fucking with you

But there are a bunch of things LB could use more. A virtual currency or the ability to purchase Emcee items would be dope. And seeing as how the forums are dead, it'd be VERY wise to implement a virtual currency where people earn $$ based on starting threads, replying to threads, voting on polls, etc etc. That currency could also be the credits system LB is already utilizing. But considering mods can change credit values on accounts and some people are sitting on 10,000 credits, I believe an entirely separate virtual currency thing would work better.

I'm not pulling this out of my ass either. I know what works simply because I'm a member of at least 50 forums (50 might even be an understatement) and I've seen what several webmasters have utilized to make $$ or increase activity.

I like that idea a lot. That's a great suggestion, I'll note that and bring it up when I get a chance.

Yes! That's literally just down the road from me at the fish farm. I've not done it yet but have seen the logs. Have you seen the log where a lady got stuck and they had to call the fire station? There are photos and everything lol. I'm amazed it wasn't removed after that.

I've seen godbody suggest the currency system before, and I liked it then too. Though it does seem like a more lengthy undertaking than the tweaks & additions as of late, wonder if @X could do this?
