it was @Kate (no offense Kate just stating who it was) 

 

In that case I've already retrained her! How's that for being proactive?

Nuuuu! No more negativity!

 

But seriously, sometimes this place can get a little morbid. It'd be nice to set an overall goal to make it a little cheerful, and bumping up activity would definitely help.

 

You might be perceiving more negativity than there actually is for most users on Neocodex. Considering that you stole accounts and pets and tried defending it.

 

And negative rep won't be coming back.

 

Yeah, and all good things must come to an end etc etc

You get a cookie. 

 

Lol damn, I knew it was probably me. 
I really thought it was against the rules, sorry about that. D: 

 

No biggie

An official flight rising trading/selling forum like neopets has.

Good things and negative rep.

I'd like to see a bit more activity in the game room. I'm awfully lonely there and I don't know if I can respond to a game thread after myself. (makes me look a little sad as well)

 

Note: I like the game forum, because most of the time I don't feel like I have anything to contribute to the majority of discussions on here. I do try to fit in though without appearing like a ignorant loser.

 I notice posts edited, threads closed and people being afraid to post irrelevant things. A spam sub-forum (?) would be really nice to just post whatever you feel like and do what you want without anything counting towards post count.

That's one thing I've always wanted to see in Codex. I think the whole blog idea is great and kinda similar which may be why we dont have a spam section?

We're actually quite lenient on things going a bit off-topic I think, except perhaps in the debate section.

HAHAHAHa whattt no way!! How have I been here two years and never noticed that?!

*facepalm*

Also, we are going to restructure the trading post; Mike and I have discussed it briefly already. I'll add it to my list so we can get it hopefully finalised and done asap.

i'm slightly worried with the monthly private members application. for this month there has been only 2 applications and only a single application accepted. there are lots of eligible applicants but no one dares to apply. what happens if no one applies next month?

[Sweeney]

The same ones I've been pushing for a long time:

• Fully-functioning, official Neocodex programs 
• Expansion into legit tools a la JellyNeo
• Working towards innovation in virtual pet tools
• Regular (monthly) site announcements (use email, too)
• Active, technical administrators to help push innovation and ensure progress
• Better platforming for user-submitted programs 

Standard members come here for programs and tools. If a better and wider range was provided I think the community aspect would follow - that's always how it's worked in the past.

Sorry, I meant specifically for retaining members after site events.

No one gets in.



We may reduce the frequency of Private applications if there are not enough to make the monthly process worthwhile. It'll be looked at after the next round.

Hey, guys, suggestions, don't bite my head off.

 

In terms of the awards, we'd do well to qualify their graphics - but again it's subjective, I just don't think they're quite up to scratch.

 

Regarding the rep, it'd be nice to go to someone's profile, give them a rep and a little description as to why they deserve the rep etc. rather than bumping up single posts.

 

Wao, I haven't heard of the Scavenger hunt here, my bad

 

@Bone Obviously my game is Neo, not FR, so any suggestions I make would be in terms of Neopets. On site competitions, such as stamp page collecting race, restock quota race type competitions in that vicinity would be fun

 

@Kat I never said anything about fake cheerfulness

Pretty sure IPB doesn't have that functionality, we can let people see who has repped individual posts though if that's wanted.

Some examples of the kind of awards you would like to see might be useful.

I know old rep modules used to work this way, but it was a big hassle to write a comment for every rep.

I think everyone with over 1000 posts should apply! YAY GO NEXT MONTH ERRRRONE

I like the idea of using email.  A lot of websites have monthly newsletters, it would be a great way to let inactive people know what's going on and hopefully inspire them to come back.

 

I agree, I think the administration situation really needs to be addressed and dealt with now.  It's been long enough.

I like the awards, I think they're cute *pokes them* I feel like if they were bigger/more extravagant they would be too much on the boards and you wouldn't be able to display as many. That's just my opinion though.

No, I suppose that every now and then, topics that are discussed can be a little disheartening! We all should aim to be a little more optimistic! ^^ And take everything with a grain of salt.

 

I didn't steal anything. I've traded pets on Zombian and CLraik. I don't enquire about their legitimacy, so I could never confirm it. It doesn't really matter though, they're all taken off inactive anyway, lol. But I digress

[Fikri]

uh-oh.

Oh really? That's a bummer. Maybe something similar to a profile feed where people go to post nice things? Similar to the Codex Ice book?
