So it has been roughly 4 months since the original suggestion thread by Mystic was made. The current one is found here: link Now something I don't understand was after all that time, the first ones on the thread-approved list have still not been implemented . The ones I am most angry at are the forums. We do not have any areas, at the moment, that would be the right place for some of the topics that I want to talk about. Now tell me, how hard would it be to put those forums right below chat island? There is enough room to fit it right there without sacrificing space in other areas. I just find it very annoying when you (Mr. Basil) post things like: link and basically tell us in the poll that we should want change! Tell me where the change is? Is it in the custom themes which you are not wanting us to change ? Maybe "change" is in the area where things are "Thread approved" to be changed yet still no change. I just find it very hypocritical that you are telling us that change is good yet are limiting us and the site to that change. If you want the forums of Art / Screens Forum or the Debate / Mature Forum please vote below to show your support in change. Finally, I will send a report after I see if other people want change as well.. If they don't then I am basically waiting for nothing to happen and don't want to wait any longer.

The reason the thread is there is so that they can ignore suggestions while preventing spam. A suggestion is much more forceful if backed up by a thread, with people voting/expressing their opinions on it. Instead, we have one sticky - and let's face it, who goes through the pages and reads all the little posts? Especially if the TS doesn't update it. Thus many suggestions are lost, and Mr. B spends his time redoing the look of the forums or something.

Actually, Kazoo combs through it, as well as a few basilers including Rodoner, Rachelity, RJustice, and myself (As well as others, there's tons actually). It gets less publicity in the Suggestions Discussions thread, but just as much thought towards the suggestion. Kazoo's been kinda away for a while, aya. He doesn't update the thread much.

Vysper said: " Sure, so a handful of people... Exactly my point." Well, suggestions are really up to Mr. Basil anyway, and he sees them whether they're in a thread, or in a sticky.

Im sure he listeners to the users and puts it into consideration.. but as a programmer, i know exactly how he thinks. You see. When you make a plan on how a program, no matter the type, you always make sure to stick to the plan that you made till it's done.. Any changes made after that has to be thought of very well before putting it into execution.. This is the way a programmer thinks.

He has sometimes asked the public for their opinion. If they say no, tell me how your method works? It doesn't because it would not be finished. Therefore bad thinking. And that has nothing to do with the current thread.

I agree with Vysper. If anyone noticed, before BIM, there was no BIM suggestion on the list. Then after it was implemented, It was put on the "Implemented suggestions". So shady.

Hence, you are off topic. And nice explanation on how your "method" works. That is like me saying I can fly because I can.

Right, and approved ones are only approved by the thread, and by the people critiquing it. Guessing the people you mentioned. =/ Doesn't exactly mean Mr. B's going to accept all of those suggestions, they're just.... good suggestions that have a chance.

Yes, I agree partially on what you said. The debate section has potential and we just need to be patient.
