The Staff asks for help

[Christouffer]

We all know Neohacks just isnt what it used to be. No one can for sure put a finger on it, but we all know something is just missing. The staff cannot come up with an answer as to why, so we are asking you.

What can be done to the board to make it more fun? We dont want suggestions in general, we want fun things. Anything will be considered a good idea if:

<li>It's fun.
<li>It isn't a general thing that needs to get done.
<li>It's original.
<li>It's creative.


This is your chance to act as a Neohacks staff member! Help us to decide whats to be done to the board!

This was descussed on a topic a few weeks ago. It was entailing a new ranking system withing the board. It sounds lika good idea. http://www.nhacks.com/index.php?board=2;ac...;threadid=14727 (http://www.nhacks.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=14727)

As I suggested in the suggestions topic, some kind of store/point system... Maybe even an RPG and battle system, too.

[Dave_Flair]

Advertise!!!!!! I would like to start handing fliers out to me fellow web surfer. Or such.

[Christouffer]

I would like to add that any suggestions you make, be sure that you would be willing to do them yourself. The staff isnt a group of super heroes.

[Nekrosis]

Special advantages as you stay longer at nhacks like nhacks makes a joint account and when someone is here for say 2 years they get 1mil from the joint account cuz that would be cool

[Fettboy4]

A board where members can say anything and do anything without fear of the rules. The one rule would be no porn, to keep n/h from getting in trouble. Post count would not go up in this forum, and it would be for just stupid, silly stuff. And it would get cleared every 24 hours.

[Nukemanneo]

I like fettbboy's idea a LOT! Also, I think we need a photosho-related activity of some sort. Maybe a weekly(?) contest for the coolest modification to a predefined picture.

[Noops]

Contest's for NEOPOINTS! And a donation shop to get NP for contests :P

[ohgar_boy]

Posts boosts? When you do something thats erm...good you can get a posts boost? ???

[ddun]

Some sort of contest would be the best. Something like maybe a BD contest in np where the winner gets something special. Ive seen other forums do Poetry contests about the forum. Thats kinda fun to read. Also other fun things are a Post your Pic thread. Those usually seem to bring in a large number of posts and are kinda fun to see what your fellow gamers look like. I have more ideas i just cant think of them >.<

fb's idea is awesome! for all the stuff we want to post, but cant! I think photoshop contests would be nice too, we did them before, anyone remember? i do. Maybe some more boards with computer related stuff, some more boards like tutorialforums.com or tutorials category where people could post about new tutorials on their sites, post tutorials for other people, etc

there was a flaming board a month or so ago. It was only active for a few hours though.

[BigDaddy]

New Topics:

Advice; sex, depression, love, hate

Website Building

Software Reviews

CD/DVD Backup

But the main reason why new people come here is because of Neopet related stuff. We need to be more active in that board to keep them coming and then they will find all the other topics. Even if it is the slightest change in Neopets we should post it just so there is activity in that section.

[Alphasee]

How about....cutting some of the strict rules about what we can say..and get rid of banning swear words for the most part...(just a thought).
Um, possibly add places for other games here at nhacks, so its not only just for neopets, but also for other quite-popular games out there, that other people only dream of finding cheats for it. Maybe also, actually LOOK for some programmers, or maybe even have a slightly different approach on the Technical thread, so it has a diverse library of information for programming and designing, not just for when things come up.
If this makes any sense, but also maybe a more content-based web site as well, once again, not covering only the dully-put neopets online game...I think it might be time to shift to something new :o

[Mitch]

I like the idea about if you stay for around 2 years, you will receive around 500,000 Neopoints from a neohacks account... (hidden)

[[Dragoon]]

IDEA! This goes along with my RPG/point-store idea. Referals, but instead of getting points for people signing up, you get em when somone you refered gets X posts, or has been here X days, and when/if they get into the Priv, or UG

I am in agreement with Alphy.... things could use a little diversety and in conjunction with Talby Fett's idea this board would enter into an "Age of Aquarius"

We tried that, it bombed, it got removed.

it and the person with the genious idea

[Dave_Flair]

Why in your respective opinion's did the board bomb?

Khild's actions after he was banned really show that he had no right to be a mod.. Ditto for Fett

[artslet]

the idea about a board where you can post whatever you want, but people should also have the power to request that somebody be muted so they can't post if they are been abusive, and a pm goes out to all the people that have a thing checked in there profile that have posted in the board that they can vote on the person been muted, and when it gets reset they would be able to post there again

[[Dragoon]]

Something like a voting system to mute people, so that we can mute em while mods/admins arent around... and maybe a minimum combined postcound (or Karma count, or something) for that to happen

[artslet]

yea minimum postcount or maybe only a certain membergroup could or something

[Sweet Dreamer]

We could maybe havea contest for something liek that? But being a member of Nhacks should pretty much be a reward in itself... we wouldn't want people to sign up JUST for a mil.

[Vince]

We need an arcade..Were you earn points to like buy stuff or sumtin..like custom titles and other umm junk ;D and the add in a a weekly contest of some sort (most points in a random choosen game?) I dunno just think up some stuff..

[ftcpics]

We tried that, it bombed, it got removed.

it didn't bomb, the admins didn't like the idea of us going crazy.

[Biddykins]

we already did the photoshop forum, it was a complete flop lol, i agree with fetts no rules forum idea. but here's my idea.
I think we should have a trivia forum, i would happily mod it and make sure everything is done fairly, and we could have specialty quizzes written by members of the board, i would write some killer quizzes, and tyhey could be on anything.

No more damn trivia! Nooo!

[Christouffer]

Lets not turn this into a discussion. Suggestions only, also keep things fun. Dragoon I really like your idea about muting people, but that isnt necessarily fun. Lets stay on topic.

[ish]

FYAD again sounds good....

Here are the suggestions i really like... THe join acct idea based on time here, although transferring and making the np would be tough...

Also, I really, really think we should advertise. Mass neomail, spam ezboards, etc.... Life comes with new members.

True, but it would help keep it fun. Nothing spoils fun like an asshat (such as Khild) who wont shut the hell up.
