Making our AC (GC, WW, CF) towns?

[JabuJabule]

Is it possible in the future to make our maps, animals, museum, town tune, etc?
And show it under our usernames?
It would help to make us a better forum, etc.

You can just put it in your Signature

That's not what I meant.

I meant if the site had more outstanding features, then people would be more attracted. Without anything special, were just another average forum that has a mediocre amount of members.

I believe JabuJabule might be meaning Animal Crossing Community's Town Map and Character Creator.

I thought the same thing.

That would be pretty hard and might end up with copyright issues.

 

[JabuJabule]

That's actually exactly what I meant. Or something similar.
I got banned there a long time ago, and I regret it.

Anything to make the site better, right?

I don't regret getting banned from that site, it was awful, you cannot even say the slightest bad word...

The only reason I loved that site is because it CONSTANTLY has people that wants to play. Here, not much...
And true xD

I only dislike the forums because there is no new posts page.

You can find such a thing right here.

LOL, I was talking about ACC, not this site.

Whooooops.

 

[JabuJabule]

So does it sound like a good idea?

No. The problem is, this is a forum. Not an arcade or a website of that kind. When you try to cram too much into a site, it becomes cluttered and people leave. Example: the forums where everyone tries to incorporate everything. Like video game forums with sections about Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc. with sub-sections such as Pok?mon, Mario, Zelda, and then Uncharted, Little Big Planet, inFamous, and Halo, etc. When you try to please everyone or try to make a forum with such unneeded features, it collapses. The only thing I can think of improving on the site is adding more contests and stuff. Things to kick up activity. Maybe a podcast. But we don't need video game-esque features on a forum.

Are you saying people would leave because we added some optional features related to Animal Crossing on an Animal Crossing forum? It's not like they need to be right in your face. They can just be under your Profile page.

 

[JabuJabule]

ACC is also a forum. But look at what they have.
Open your mind a little, would you?

And thank you, Justin

I don't see how this is the same as adding a gratuitous amount of sub-forums. If this site is truly going to remain as an AC website, then features such as that would not be out of place. However, now that we seem to have abandoned our main website in favor of just the vBulletin board, it may be much harder to implement. I don't play AC anymore and have no interest in the 3DS game, but I'm sure there are some that still do.

I'll just say this right now...

The forum is only dead because of Animal Crossing, once the 3DS version is released it will be like this again more than likely;

and members can just put it in their signature. City Folk is only going to be around for less than a year until AC:3DS comes out, then the map and all that might have changed and they will have to update it again

I have a couple of things to say about this post. First off, blaming our activity levels on the lack of an AC game is just an excuse. Other AC websites such as ACC are still thriving without a new AC game. We can do better. In comparison to ACC, our features are lacking, except in the area of forums in which we excel due to their very very outdated forum software. Secondly, AC3DS will be coming out probably Holiday 2012. That's still a year and half away. Besides, if a town map feature was built for ACCF, most of the code could be reused for AC3DS just with modified images and a few other things.

Also, even though we are based off a forum and not a website for now, most things like town maps and such could be done through vBulletin mods probably.
