how about adding a Shout box? A place separate from the forums like a chat room something along them lines?. Just an idea. =D
I've liked the idea of a Shoutbox, but it does have a few flaws which have stopped us: If people use it to ask questions and they get the answers that may be good for them, but not good for someone a month down the line with the same problem. Wheres is they used the forum, the answer is there even years after the event for someone to read. On other sites, I've seen it end up being fun for a few users, but genuinely get boring and full of spam after the novelty has worn off. However thats not to say were not open to suggestions, with the removal of the Arcade we are open to new ideas. Sadly the Arcade wasnt updated in 2 years and no one really played it (Though if you did regularly, please do post here to). Feedback is always listened to and liked
Well I loved the arcade, As giving a few ideas for games back when this site opened , + It could be a place to chat to others that are online as well as the fourms . Could be a place to arrange Online Player vs player games easier .
You dont want a shoutbox, encourage people to post in the forums. A shoutbox is tacky and its amazing how many idiots just post sh*t in them. The arcade should come back though, i really enjoyed playing the yeti games and kitty cannon in that. Same with the xbox leaderboard, we have lost two good things there.
The Xbox Live Leaderboards and Arcade aren't necessary gone for good, though they would need some work before they came back. But for the time being, they are.
