This idea will take some thought.

Right now all users have the ability to lock their own threads, so if anybody doesn't want comments in their journals all they have to do is keep them locked.

I like the feedback in mine but, I didn't know we could do that.

You have a lot of control here - infinite ability to edit and delete posts, ability to directly enter news items and events in the calendar... and more to come, hopefully.

Would it be possible to have a flash active or un-active button, so the people that can view can see it and the people that it would slow down dont need to see it?

I love how fast things happen in this site :D

Also, maybe we could make some of our own smileys here too. I have a few that I submitted to dreamviews but they never got used.

Burns is the Mistress of Smilies.  Talk to her - I haven't seen her refuse anybody yet.

You can turn off sig images, I think... going to have to look into that.

Its probably easy to give a feature to allow or disallow HTML/flash tags(if you don't want HTML for other vulnerability reasons) in sigs. That way, you could have both of best worlds. Those who don't like it could turn it off yet still have normal sigs display and those who are fine with it can have it =O

Also, theres very little you could do to block laggy flash apps server-side. If it's running slow, it's a) written in AS2 b) overusing the filters/advanced graphical properties and/or c) coded in a horrendously laggy fashion. If the person making the sigs knows what they're doing, lag generally isn't a problem. If someone has made a sig but it's lagging, I should be able to help them fix it =P

Just something I felt like bringing up. I know MM's current intentions are far from this, but let's have this for a far-fetched future.

Once we get big enough, we could have a subforum for every featured language. It wouldn't be hard to create or to manage as we can have the respective ambassadors (should they want so) take care of the board in their language. I think it'd be extra incentive for us to bring more people in here.

Bah

For what it's worth, I'm on dialup and never had a problem with Flash signatures. I quite enjoyed Arby's old Pacman sig on DV, actually, and Adam's was pretty cool too. I never had any noticeable slowdown or any sort of hang-ups or anything.

This is an interesting idea for the far future. With all of the amazing people that we have here, I wouldn't be surprised if MM turns out to be the beginning of a worldwide lucid dream revolution - and it feels great to be a part of it.

Actually, one of the big plans in the very early stages of development right now takes the multi-lingual thing in a completely different direction... and would give our Ambassadors as much to do as they would ever hope for.

But it is too early still to go any further with that discussion.

Great stuff.  I think we'll start a separate discussion about the flash and HTML.  Honestly, that one frightens me because of our experiences over at DV... but if there is a way to do it that won't harm anybody, I'm open to at least seeing how the rest of the community feels about it.

Done... sort of.

Had to do a sort of back-flip to make it happen though.  Heh.

I dont know if this will be possible but maybe people could chose who's signitures they dont want to view, so if they do slow down their computers they can just chose not to view whats causing it to slow down.

I don't know. I could see that going either way. On one hand, it would help include more people. But, on the other hand, I think there's a possibility of dividing the forum and almost forcing people to choose where they post, in a way.
