What functions and features should the next forum have?

Would you like to be able to. . .
rate individual messages?
rate other users?
Use wikis to create a never ending story/world?
Earn badges?
Give "gifts?"
Create small groups?

Exploring these options might create many new opportunities for people become moderators or discover other leadership roles.

rate other users?That can happen.

Earn badges?Hard to do.
Give "gifts?"That could happen. Sort of.
Create small groups?Exactly what do you mean by that?

Sorry to say, Punbb is limited. However, you have very good ideas.

I do know, because I made my own punbb place once, that you can have a live chatbox thing. So you can talk to others in real time. Not sure if that will neccecarily be added, but its a possibility

There are several platforms that can easily implement all of the features I listed.

Is Scratch making the new forums themself, or are they making one on a forum host site?  big_smile

Re: What functions and features should the next forum have?

I think things are more at the "what could happen?" stage than the, "what will or won't happen," stage.  We have a connected and committed group of creative people. 

I think the questions should be:
What do we want?
Where can we get it?
What agreements would we have to make?

To make things easier, I was planning to simply use the exact same forums (punbb) as we have now.  Those other ideas are wonderful though!

Yay! So it'll have the same style (right?)!
