Make dumb suggestions so we can ignore them. I'm lovin' it.

Feature Requests

Post by DarkUnderlord »

As part of the new DaC, we're looking at providing more content that's suited to the community's needs. So what kind of shit do you want?

While it's a long way off yet (I've got to clean up some mess around this place first - along with doing a clean install of the forums to fix some bugs and what-not), feature requests you make now will help us work out what we can do for you.

EG: People have mentioned having a database system of PA movies / PA books and PA games. Well, what kind of database system do you want? You want to be able to add your own reviews to things? Rate things on a scale of 1 - 1001?

Gimme some examples of stuff you'd like to see and what you want to be able to do with it.

IMHO, ratings are useless. But a database of stuff with Title, Author, Date, Description, etc would be good. I think it would be great to see if there were any interesting works I have missed. Also interesting would be the ability to add cover scans for books or videos.

A feature request I would like would be to bring back the (apparenlty, since last night) broken new post notification system.

It being non-functional and all. D:

I've always wanted weekly updated articles on the site, kinda like how Something Awful has photoshop stuff every friday. Maybe a fallout article every friday.

Would be cool to have a new article a day to read, then having 7 different types.

A community-based picture of the day thingy? If that hasn't been said already. In which case, I dunno.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Every forum user should be able to submit one picture each week, then we vote and the said picture is the weekly picture?

Use http://www.duckandcover.cx instead of the http://www.thevats.net domain. The forum is now set up for the new domain rather than the old one, which is why the new one works in terms of updating the new posts and the old one doesn't.

I know a feature.
Have a fallout3 for PC only (no cross platform) petition, and get allotta signatures, then mail it to bethesda.

I think it'd be pretty cool to have lists of PA Movies with little blurbs of info about them on each of them. Same with PA books. Kinda like what RPGC does with games and game makers and so on.

Then maybe do something with the Art and Fic forums. Start art/fic contests maybe, awards being custom titles, or mention on the front page.

Yes. And each DAC user (only who's seen/read it already) could write a review for the benefit of the other people to decide what to see.

This reminds of the spam i get. Its all very nice and professional looking, then suddenly they blow away their cover by throwing profanity around. Kind like We are the largest suppliers of Viagra in the country. Break her ass in two!!.

Mine just sounds like crap all the time, and it's always hardcore, with fisting and shit. Shit, literally.

Funniest I got was : JOE, ENLARGE YOUR BREAST!!

The best one I've ever seen was a mail sent to my mom...She printed it up and brought it home.

"NATURAL PENIS ENLARGEMENT!" was the subject..No big deal..But the first line of the email was "GROW THAT FUCKING WHALE DICK YOUR BITCH NEEDS!"

Women love whale dick.

I like Goose's suggestions. Maybe have a PA Art forum, for games, books, movies, erotica, clay sculptures, and baloon animals in a post-apocolyptic genre. Then people can comment on upcoming things, or review past ones they have seen, or whatnot.

Probably a horrible idea, but I never want for those.

And agree with Goose on the Fan content sections I do. I also want to shaft Goose with my fucking whale dick that that bitch needs. I'm gonna break his ass in two.
