I have another idea :) the idea that you need to have atleast 20 seconds of an animation before you can post it in the portal,else everone is keep sending 2 seconds movies ^^ what do you guys think,doesent have to be 20 though

I don't think there's actually a way to implement a system that checks the length of your animations and restricts them from being uploaded if they're under an allotted time duration. The only thing that would be related to that would probably something along the lines of restricting animations that are under a certain file size, and that may not work because as Chimaera said, people could easily bypass that system by adding extra graphics and messing with the quality of your song file.

Contribute or be b7.

I've been here ages, and I've seen about 6-8 user created writings/fan-fics.

Well, there isn't a section for them. Otherwise, maybe they'd be more popular.

I know at least I'd probably use it. I come up with shit in my own mind all the time.

Well, it'd be pretty scary if it were in someone else's..
And theoretically, plaugurism.

Aside from a literature section, I also can't think of any reason why the Forum Games section was removed, really. Perhaps inactivity, or a devolution into crappy threads?

Quote from ZuLu

13: You may post forum games unless the moderating team or admins can tell that you haven't put thought or effort into making it up.

True, it doesn't really contribute to an animating forum, but from what I've seen, people are going to keep trying to make forum games anyway. None of them I've seen lately have really been very good, but there've been quite a few of them anyway. So why not bring back the Forum Games section, and make it once again so that it doesn't raise post counts? I know that was abused just to let people spam before, but at least it doesn't raise post counts, and it could be more harshly moderated than before. Plus, with the recent "You MUST contribute positively, or you'll be banned" initiative in place, I doubt there's nearly as much risk of non-contributive members spamming it up.

Thoughts, anyone?

EDIT: Also, at one point, you needed a certain level of rep to be allowed in the section (obviously, this was a long time ago). Instead of that, I think everyone should be allowed, but people who abuse the section or don't contribute to it very well could be kicked out. Eh?

Wouldn't help much.
All you'd get is nerds doing some gay DandD roleplay thing.

Need I mention WORD Attack?

Besides, it's better than them doing so in Main. And read my edit.

I agree with your edit.

Good god!

Word Attack!?

Hah, I've not seen a decent word attack game in a while, not at least the Hunted game you made. That was epic.

But heck, people that join in late in the game will just go god mode on everyone and basically spam it up.

And maybe give them a day ban from it or too, instead of a perma ban from it, to rethink what they did.

Eh... If so, we'll call it a "First Offense" measure.

And we could have a Maxium number of offenses allowed.

I'm going to quote a convo I'm having with V.Valentine right now.

[14:10] Me: Residue made the suggestion of just banning people from it for a day if they post badly.
[14:10] Me: Personally, I think it should be much, much longer.
[14:11] Me: Like...
[14:11] Me: Permanent.
[14:11] V.Valentine: Lol
[14:11] V.Valentine: Eh
[14:11] V.Valentine: Now that we have the power to give bans for any amount of time
[14:11] V.Valentine: It's possible.
[14:11] Me: REALLY, what I think should be done is that it should just be the mods' judgment how long the ban is.
[14:11] Me: Not a first offense, second offense, third offense, so on type of deal.
