Bring back Time Attack :P

Edit: I dont know if the mods remember but sometime back I came up with a sort of legacy system. Equivalent to todays' "achievements" as seen in videogames. Something to encourage diversity, people would progress through an achievement ladder and earn awards as they completed a set.

I even managed to find the mockup I made of it then.

This.!


I would acctualy loved to see the forum's activity increases.. Adding Achievements and such would be a nice touch deffinately.. And some weeks ago we talked in the chatbox about the pointing system.. Get points with useful comments (and also by the current method (dunno whats the current method tho)) so we could buy like different colours, more profile settings and such by thoose points.
Basically we should make this an english language cardesign.ru ;)

I was thinking about that chop reel, I think it would start annoying the admins having to change chops very now and again. Also there is a problem with new-comers posting chops incorrectly, or others posting very hi-res images directly, there-fore takes ages to load.
My solution would be to have a simple format for posting new chops in the NCA to Elite categories. Something like:

~
About chop: *Write about the chop here*

Base: *800px link* *Full-res link*

Chop: *800px link* *Full-res link*

WIP: *800px link* *Full-res link*

Donors: *800px link* *Full-res link*
~

That way I think it will end confusion on how to post chops. Also allow more than one chop to be added if some one adds a filter etc. With the chop reel it will then automatically take one of the images from the chop links and display it on the front page.

About the non-creativity around the forums, I think we just need some decent base for comps. It doesn't help when a stance comp is a 370z which has already been stanced multiply times. Get something less common and maybe something no-one has every heard of before. Also maybe some uglier cars would help in creativity because people should then be forced to redesign them and use creativity.
omg duh.

we just need to somehow integrate that into the main forum, so we can have list of latest topics and thread's we've written in down the side... with the option to "hide" or collapse to a sidebar...

Brilliant stuff being thrown around here, I recall your idea about the achievements before construct. I'm going to start on drafting some code up for it and planning it tonight.

There's been some other really important points made too by other guys - Matt_K's suggestion about the pre-defined format is a smart idea and would aid in making things consistent and easier to read in general. I had an idea previously that would work well with that and also support the chop newsreel thing at the same time... my idea being that when you create a new chopping thread, their is an uploader box where you can upload the chop + base image then and there, i.e. meaning so you don't have to use imgur.com or some external hosting service like that. It was an idea I had quite some time ago (perhaps around the time I added in the ratings) because it was needed to support another thing I wanted to see done - thumbnail 'hover-overs' when viewing the forum thread listing page.

Maybe I'll see those things come to fruition. I seem to have garnered a boost in motivation to start building things around here again recently, so I should ride that wave and make the most of it.

Stoked to hear that Klaus is reviving the ezine, that will be a great and welcomed addition back to the place. I literally can't wait to see it back!
