Title says all. Suggest new forums, plugins, themes, or even new services to host on this server.

I suggest a forum with higher secretiveness, not for entertainment or intellectual discussion, but for personal semi-doxxable matters. I am in a bit of a pickle financially and would like counsel from some Internet frens as I have no family and not any irl frens who can give counsel right now.

What do you mean by a "forum with higher secretiveness"? This entire website is already login-walled (though not for the sake of secrecy, but as a bandwidth-saving measure). I can't create anything much more secretive than that without some other form of identification.

On an semi-related note: the current sign-in question (where you have to identify the Wholesomejak by name) is a placeholder. I want to replace it with something else. Something that would filter out obvious speds without being too exclusive.

I mean for users who are known, sphag, Trep, myself, NJR, HSG, casco, Mussolini scholar, etc. Nothing criminal or doxxable or controversial, but the more data points are known about an alias the geometrically closer you get to their identity, so this would be an extra imposition for nosy malevolent mediocrities.

That's a sensible suggestion, though I fear that having a distinction between "trusted" and "untrusted" users might cause resentment and status-jockeying. And in the event of a cyber-attack or database leak by some irate IT tranny (I've seen a few shoddy attempts in the logs), such a distinction would be rendered totally meaningless.

Don't be idiots guys, do not post personally identifiable information, do not trust people who offer it, you can get fine financial advice from non-genocidal racists.

I liked that comment feature, is it possible to add here?
Also adding banners at some point.
I don’t seem to be able to copy and paste into threads or comments apart from the quick reply, is there a way to fix that?

Maybe.

Poast any of the banners from the old forum, and I will gladly add them.

Don't know what you're talking about, but I have considered replacing the current post editor with a more high-tech one.

I didn't like the comments. It saves space, but they are very easy to miss.

Here are the banners I made plus two more that I had saved.

Visual themes/colour schemes? I liked the layout and look of the last site and adjusting to red and white feels wrong.
#12
Previous forum layout was superior. Wishlist: Post should be narrower, like 1/3 of screen (640 pixels), 1/2, at most, even if that wastes a lot of space it makes it much more readable. Posts should be separated horizontally between Avatar and user information and post content. Avatars should be larger. There should be a link to read recent posts.

@Chud This is a lot better. Thank you!
#14
The quote feature seems to be broken a lot of the time.

On a different browser and it's letting me paste, but adding a giant amount of weird font info when I do. Usable enough but maybe a more high-tech one would be good.

video embedding doesn't work on firefox (in the music poasting thread, for instance)

That's just how rich text editors work. Go into the source view, or use Ctrl+Shift+V to post only the plain text, without any associated style info.

I have a suggestion. Retract guest-posting for a while.

Done.

The people behind this spam must be so disappointed. A couple more posts and they would have finally been able to sell off the last of their Viagra!
