Real, show us that same thing WITHOUT having the thread opened. Tada, you've now realized that it can't be changed to veiwers until they open the thread.

Hey, I was just showing what already exists. Clearly, the suggestion is to change what it is now to something more pleasing.

So everyone just calm down. We'll get through this.

I don't even think it's within Zulu's power. If it was a necessary problem, then he would probably fix it.

But it sounds like it's just a VB glitch. You guys have the power, it's just not functioning properly.


When the VB base isn't working, I wouldn't want to be the one to fix it >.>

Exactly why I posted it in the "Forum Bugs" thread awhile ago.

I wonder if it is a VB-wide glitch or not. Quite curious.

Pivot Portal, for god sakes. So the noobs will stop flooding the Art portal with their shoddy pivots.

Or else just ****ing remove the GIF format from the art portal. Nobody uses that for art.

And make the flash movies open on a pop up. Much more versatile.

What about adding the reviews inside the portal? Makes it easier to read them. And adding links to the actual thing if the forum review system is still used. If not, just remove them from the public forums, it's kind of useless.

the portal is ****ed up As is. I mean, what's the point in making stick page portal is you're not even going to manage the bitch? It's been updated 2 times in like, the past 3-4 months. when it's supposed to be managed what, every week? This is one point that needs to seep into the brain of Zulu and Paperclip.

There will never be a pivot portal. Pivot isn't as important as flash, and flash needs more skill to use. I say remove the ability to upload .gifs and just .swf files. Like I said, a pivot portal is out of the question.

Another suggestion I would like to say. I think we need a new skin for spp. The forums have gotten old, fast, therefore members are likely to go somewhere else to have fun. Like Newgrounds. At least do something on the holidays. Like Christmas, design a new skin for Christmas. This can also be issued as a competition for the portal. Something to see who can make the best skin design for the forums. Not something permanent, just a temporary thing to keep the current skin from getting stale.

I also think we should have a level system, something like Newgrounds, though not the same thing. It will get members more active in rating submissions in the portal.

Another thing for the portal, is an Audio Portal. It seems like spp'ians have picked up Music creation and editing recently. It will give members something new to do.

I also think that the Competitions made by members should go onto the front page of the portal. Except there wouldn't be cash prizes or rewards like there was for the Crazy jay collab.

Basically, all of my suggestions center around the first thing I said, dealing with the portal not being updated. if it won't be updated weekly like it's supposed to be, then just close it and remove it from the site.

Okay then, GIF portal. It has Pivot and Easytoon, which are more popular in stickpage than drawing still images. The point is that the Art section shouldn't have GIF format files on it.

We should do a collab to get a new skin for stickpage. It's a good idea, really. Specially since we have a bunch of people good with Photoshop in here.

More like a voting power system. I already put that (twice..) in my suggestions, I even put up a voting power formula.

Agree. I doubt it will be implemented because of the difficulty of adding a custom player.

I also think that the Competitions made by members should go onto the front page of the portal. Except there wouldn't be cash prizes or rewards like there was for the Crazy jay collab.

That's the way it SHOULD be. Merging both things together is a good idea, but since reading reviews from the portal isn't implemented either, I don't know if Zulu can actually add it.

Basically, all of my suggestions center around the first thing I said, dealing with the portal not being updated. if it won't be updated weekly like it's supposed to be, then just close it and remove it from the site.

the first step to getting any of these done is to start running the portal like it SHOULD be. Like I said, without the portal, there's no stick page portal. Meaning there'd be no point in this site whatsoever.

Why would you bump this thread with an unfunny and not serious post?

I miss those threads with all the InBedWithFaith shit. They were excellent.

But Zulu will shit bricks if he sees one of those.
