Advanced Favorite RP Genre Fantasy Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	I have a suggestion to start this off! At the bottom of the main forum page, there's a list of all of the users that have been active... in the past two hours. Personally, I check that list a lot to see who's online at any given time. But with it set at two hours, it's easy to miss someone by an hour plus and not realize it. Unless this is a setting that each user has control over, is it possible for that time to be set to something a bit shorter? Well, a lot shorter? Other places have it set to fifteen minutes or twenty minutes. That is a heck of a lot more reasonable than two hours. Thoughts?

Intermediate Favorite RP Genre Westerns What browser are you using? Firefox 3 Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	Here on Ethereal Lights, we do not provide the ability to delete accounts for a number of reasons. When a member would delete their account, their posts would not delete with them. The posts would then be posted as "Guest." If we have a number of members deleting their account, it could become awfully confusing. If a member wants to leave, and desperately wants their account deleted, they can contact me and we can work out having their username changed, and all of their personal information deleted from the account. It would also be deleted from anywhere specifically posted by the user, as long as it was brought to my attention. This is not only a security measure, but to make sure users aren't confused.

Advanced Favorite RP Genre Fantasy Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	Suggestion: I know we were discussing this at some point in the past (first version of EL?), but I don't remember what the verdict on this was and if it was possible to implement... An on-site dice roller? Is that possible? Because I know of at least two roleplays that would greatly benefit from an on-site dice roller.

Expert Favorite RP Genre RPs played like a story. What browser are you using? Firefox 3 Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	I think that the original reason that we didn't implement this was because it wasn't possible. If there's some sort of dice roller off-site that you think looks good, maybe we can officially endorse going there for dice rolling needs, but as far as making it in-site, I don't think it was possible.

Intermediate Favorite RP Genre Westerns What browser are you using? Firefox 3 Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	The on-site dice roller was not something that was reliable. This is because, when you use the dice-roller feature, it shows up in your post. For example, I would click "Add Reply" and then there would be an extra drop down box that said "Roll Dice" you would input the 1-?? values, and then you would click "Submit." The results would show up in your post as something like this: "Nikkia rolled a 6!" Now, I could edit my post and change the number, making the random numbers unreliable.

So cheat-free rolling!

Intermediate Favorite RP Genre Fantasy Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	Methinks we should have an "active threads" link at the top and/or bottom of each page, like before. It saves a page on my slow dial-up connection.

Advanced Favorite RP Genre Anything Interesting What browser are you using? Firefox 3 Have you ever GM'd / DM'd? Yes	I thought there was an active topics button at the bottom. It is small though. I like it at the top better. As for groups/guilds. The staff has discussed this a little bit. If we would ever implement it again it would be some time in the distant future. At this time we're trying to get EL back on its feet and back into a position where it is growing. Implementing groups encourages cliques and that would be discouraging new members. We want new members to feel right at home and having groups is not a way to do that. Plus, no one really used them when we last had them. You can do everything you did in the groups on the regular forum.

Easy way for members to OOC chat with each other, good place for new members to talk to veterans. Obviously, forum rules would apply in said shoutbox.

But, that took most of the members' attention, rather than putting activity into the forum itself. I've already talked to Nikkia about this sometime ago, and she said she won't put it back on. Unless, of course, she changes her mind.
