Facebook Like Wall

Would it be possible to implement a home page where users can post updates about...
where they are with there mods,
Sayin they need help with music or sprites and ask for a PM,
Post events or sites of interest?

Just thought it would be cool so instead of having to create a whole new thread just to say something small you could post a little status?

 

I think that's not possible with V-bulletin. But then again, my judgement is based off the experience from other forums powered by it. Maybe, but I think it's unlikely.

That is what a blog is for. vB can have blogs, but it only works well with the newest version of vB which is godawful and I don't recommend going to it just for a blog system.

That is what 'Hack/Mod Ideas and Development' is for.

Post events or sites of interest?

That is what 'Satellite Lounge' and 'The S.P.O.T.' are for.

 

A Blog?

Did'nt think of that
and the idea would be you could just a quick peek at whats happening in the CS without having to go in each thread.

But it wasn't a lets do it suggestion,
More of a what dya think suggestion.

 

Omg we should totally like make a tumblr or a twatter

 

yeah the system we have now works; if something is happening, everyone who's in the know is going to know about it one way or another.

 

Whatever meta, whatever.

 

Personally this is a great idea but sadly im not much of a social butterfly so i dont have facebook.

Me too, but just on the FaceBook part (idk what a "social butterfly" is).

 

a social butterfly s a way of describing someone basically a guy whos very social.

 

But a thrift store is much classier than Wal-Mart.

And yes, we all keep up with each other through VM's and IRC, so this feature wouldn't bring a lot to the table.

 

This just in, I'm black.

But seriously, I don't want to give the Internets my facebook account, and I don't want friend requests from every Tom Dick and Harry that joins the forums, makes a few posts, and inevitably discovers a link to the group.

But it was a neat idea

 

This sounds a lot like a shoutbox except larger, and that idea was already decided against a while back. Or perhaps more to the point, facebook-related things will only ever be implemented into this site over my dead body

 

I am siding with the fascist.
I simply do not see the point of a wall at all. Even on facebook, the only good use i see is to post witty things, but hey - we have a forum for that!
Crazy I know!

This is a fucking retarded idea. Why would you implement something like that when the forum is right here. That's like opening a thrift store next door to a Walmart.

I just wanted to say that I stated my opinion first on why we don't need his suggestions therefore I am better than all of you put together.
