The old thread became a bit.. cluttered X_X so please post any suggestions you might have in here, thank you ^_^

I think we should have a new skin, kinda change how to site looks every once in a while. Or at least a new banner at the top

I think we should have a nice purple skin! Or at least green... or orange! :P

I don't think there will be any new skins, at least not for a while. Maybe after we upgrade to Invision board 2.0 or something :mellow:

oooohh, when will this be happening, the update in board i mean?

a few months after it's released to ensure all the bugs are worked out I suppose

Release a BULK EMAIL to regain your members back.

and what would this BULK EMAIL be used for?

not spam i hope

If it's a "bulk email" to old members, saying "hey, you haven't been on in a while, come back", I don't know if that's a good idea.

Not to mention that you couldn't target old members by themselves, but everyone in the forum would have to get it.

You're wrong there Nightmare, IPB has some pretty advanced mailing options (unlike phoBB XP )

I dunno - people probably would've left for a reason and wouldn't really appreciate it. They would've given their emails on the basis that it would only be used to contact them in the event of a rules violation or if they lost their password. I'm not sure if they'd really want to receive emails from the board after they had left. :unsure:

I think there should be an upload option in the sheet music requests section... And perhaps one in the music discussion section, as long as it doesn't allow MP3's or something like that. It'd allow us to discuss pieces we upload or at least upload sheets we find for the sheet music requests...

:) Just an idea!

I also think it would be a good idea to add the upload ability in the Sheet music requests section but I don't really agree with the music discussion thread.

I thought that was already enabled... oh well, it is now :D

Gracias, Gand! :D

EDIT:

Would it also be possible to add a "Report this thread" option located somewhere within each thread? This would be very useful, in my opinion.

There's a "report this post" button... I suppose you could click report on the first post to report the entire thread :mellow:

edit: lol I see what thread you were talking about, and it's been "dealt" with.

Is there some way to make people notice the link to Ichigos more. Like blow it up or something. I don't see how people can request something without knowing its on ichigos.

Honestly, how do they even get to the forums withotu going to the main site anyway(or at lest knowing about it)?

Spice things up a bit. I'd suggest some contests every now and then. It could be monthly contests with different subjects. I don't know, but you get the idea. It doesn't have to be one of those "Kindest member, Most active member" sort of thing. It could be about writing poetry, drawing, or something else. It is also important to pin it, so it will be more appealing and interesting to participate in, so it doesn't get to be a thread doomed to oblivion after a few days. X_X

Something like the CMA we have each month, but for other things?

sounds good ^_^

You must convince members to return.

If you don't want to try.

We can continue watching members here slip away.

You can't decide whether people want to leave or not. :mellow: Begging them to come back won't do much, since they obviously left for a reason.

Indeed, people who like it here will stick around.

5-13 users online at a time is not fine, I think this forum can do a lot better.

Obviously, with the amount of members you have, not many have stuck around.

Yes, you are ^^;

So you think members will leave because we don't have a big amount of online users at the same time? That's stupid. :mellow: Sorry, but it is. Personally, I think those big forums are way more boring than this. They are often filled with members who post crap and then leave, and then others sign up and do the very same thing.

^ Ditto

and if we cut down the members list down to the ones who actually do turn up once in a while.. we'd have less than 100..

You should be able to get at least 25-30 users online at a time, mainly at night.

I'm against that. Sure, it would be cool to have once, but it would just cause more of the regular members to leave, because they would feel left out. It would also be tougher to keep up with the posting.

i agree with noir i feel that its easier to get closer to people when there is less of them........im also a member on legendary frogs forum and there is just soo many of them i think its a bit shite really........obviously not the animation jus the forum...........man am i screwin myself over by sayin that :doh:

its the truth though i love this forum and i put it as my home page ^_^

I wouldn't like this forum to become anything like for example animesuki, they have lots of members but the whole place sucks.

or *cough* animescores *cough* XD

but seriously, sending out some "come baaaaack" email is silly, people will come and go. School has been starting for people, so it's been a bit slower lately. This trend is apparent on the site stats as well as the forums. And even with this happening, we certaintly aren't hurting for active members.

What do you define as 'night'?

There's a lot people from different places here and given the split of active members there would be at least two times that would be considered night.

Also, I too have been to large forums (some with at least 1000 members on at a time) and they really are horrible. It stops becoming a community. I think right now Ichigos is just about the perfect size. There's always some activity and there's room for growth but there's not so many new members coming at a time that we can't get to know them and that it floods the forum with posts and alienates the core members.

"should"? to achieve what? according to what standard? The Standard Allowed Size For Internet Forums Act?

forums should generally stay on the smaller side rather than become big lousy places like the MT forums. in fact, ichigo&#39;s is already swinging into the big cesspool side. just look at the general discussions thread.

hm...you have opinions but they are not supported by facts. FOr one thing, we all live in different areas, and another thing, think about spammers,etc. Have you posted anywhere other than the suggestions place?

I dont think this forum is anything liike MT

the admin arent rude to members, the MODs arent in a pit of dispare mixxed with a power trip.
The members here are kind, i tried for a while, helping out the newbies...but they are just un kind there

heh. i guess not many people remember the old boards when sarah was disappearing. angelic could get pretty angry when the members wouldn&#39;t listen to us and started doing whatever they like (what was that guy&#39;s name, tab something?)

Isn&#39;t that the purpose of the admins? To enforce the rules until the members actually listen.

I remember a guy who had a wallpaper for a signature, I just started removing his posts until he got rid of that :lol:

How about a member spotlight? Chosen by the staff each week there would be a different member in the "Member Spotlight". The people chosen would haver to be good members, respectful of others, great person to have a round, etc.

Wouldn&#39;t that end up with "But why wasn&#39;t I elected? wuhu ~"?

*shudders at the thought of 1000 posts a day by Eva fanboys* :ph34r:

dont forget fangirls :)

all they do is discuss stuff like "who killed Kaji"... meh

And "OMG REI IS HOT&#33;~&#33;&#33;&#33; " and more like that most likely. LOL

Anyway, we&#39;re drifting off-topic here ^^;;

ew, rei. :asuka:

And of course Asuka fanboys who are just as annoying -.-;

hey, i haven&#39;t done anything fanboy-ish yet ;)

Hey,im also an Asuka fan *grabs frying pan*

lol.. *stomps*

that&#39;s quite off topic is it? <_<

we dont have a joke thread or anything... would it be a good idea to create one called "smile factory" where people can post jokes and funny pictures? maybe in the light-hearted chat...

that doesn&#39;t really need an admin approval does it? when you find something funny you just make a thread about it, like "realm of boredom" and such..

We should have seperate threads for each kind of Sheet music in the requests section. Such as "Wolf&#39;s Rain Requests" or "inuyasha Requests" etc.

Good idea, but I doubt that would work..

how come? I mean sure there would be new titles but an Admin or MOD could add it in

I don&#39;t see the point?

Like it would be more organized and there wouldn&#39;t be mulitple topics of requests. Also people could find what they needed quicker.

It makes sense, but the only thing is people wouldn&#39;t be arsed to check the threads all the time - your request is much more likely to be answered if you make a new thread rather than saying "Could someone do x for me?" in another thread that&#39;s 4 pages long :)

you probably get this alot, but when is the role-play gunna be done

Would you be able to make a feature that would allow people to choose a color for their posts to be put into automatically? It&#39;s kind of annoying having to go up and highlight all the text then use the color drop-down box to get the effect... Also, some of the colors that I like aren&#39;t even on the drop-down box, and it&#39;s quite annoying having to type it in every time. Maybe I&#39;m just crazy... :P But it&#39;d add variety to Ichigo&#39;s posts and would give people trademark colors etc. :)

I look around, dunno tho

maybe in IPB 2.0

I don&#39;t wanna sound like an ass or anything but shouldn&#39;t we have a new MOD now Excel&#39;s Left us (May she rest in peace)

a good idea, not sound un-sympathetic but we should star looking :unsure:

I agree, a new moderator would be quite a positive addition to the site. I&#39;d nominate Plod or Alphonse... :)

I don&#39;t think we need another moderator; for one the forum activity has slowed immensely due to school starting for many of the members here. And the forum is going just fine right now, so.....why bother?

I&#39;ve been thinking about a new mod but out of respect for Excel I think that matter will have to wait for a bit

I think guest posts should be allowed. A lot of people come here just to request a sheet or two.

We had a problem with that in the old forums. Guest posts started cluttering up the whole forum.

Not to mention that members would "forget" to login and post, and we&#39;d get who what guest was who mixed up.

yeah, I&#39;d rather have 500 accounts with 1-5 posts than deal with the mess of guest posting

Ok, reasonable argument.

I think that we should have more than one skin....I have a code that I can give you that has like 7 different skins and each member can pick their own....?

We already have two skins members can pick from.

theres something wrong with the clock here... it says in my profile that my current time is 12.07 but actually its 13.07 wtf? the time zone says moscow and everything so whats wrong?

Maybe it&#39;s daylight savings time.

yeah thanks its all right now...

can we have a rule that forbids people to call members by the rl names >< its so annoying, some people dont know who the post is aimed at and in my opinion it just shows that you disrespect that member if you use his rl name instead of his screen name...

I think that&#39;s something people have to decide on their own. If I want to call someone by their real name and they don&#39;t mind, I don&#39;t see a problem.

but its not fair to members who dont know that persons real name so they dont know what/who youre talking to

What about increasing avatar size to 120x120?

nah, just add that little extra strain on the board,

with 100x100 it much easier to keep the file size down aswell,
one of those things that will not change, sorry to say it but its true

I think that Sondagger should have mod. powers, for the Sheet-Music Request forum only. Then she can lock topics for sheet music requests which have already be filled and stuff.

I tried to use your sheets and made a midi. Is it okay for me to give you the midis in piano? I haven&#39;t perfected making midi yet, but i&#39;m sure you&#39;ll be fine with this.

:eyebrow:

**looks around in a mass of confusion not understanding what brianrae said**

I feel that the forums are running smoothly now, there has been little conflict so a new mod would seem unnessary (sp?).

I think the text for http://forums.ichigos.com/html/emoticons/shifty.gif should be changed from :shifty: to F)

I think not for I don&#39;t see one single reason to change it but I do see that if we did all the current shifty smilies in posts will disappear.

How about getting rid of the IDDR and IFF clubs, since they&#39;re dead and it&#39;s pointless to keep them pinned.

I agree X_X Never saw what the big deal was with them anyway.

I like that idea ~

get spellcheck.........

People should learn how to spell some decent English in school, so that forums do not need a spellchecker.

Would you please allow profiles to show the member #? :)

A subforum link to the Character Profiles from the main page, perhaps?

I think that, when you search for new posts, the RP ones should be kept seperate to the other posts. It annoys me to get all the RP posts, I can&#39;t see at a glance which posts are which.

that would be nice, although I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s possible without a major code change

here&#39;s 1. I made a thread in sheet music requests for all final fantasy sheet music except for X2. and ive seen a new thread for final fantasy 8. so you ight want to either pin my thread or put it in filled requests. its called for final fantasy music come here

Thank you for kindly translating English into English for that senile ol&#39; Gand. :) That&#39;s exactly what I meant. (And basically what I said&#33; :P)

I wasn&#39;t sure what a member number was, but I see now... and after looking into it, it&#39;s too much of a pain. I&#39;d have to dig around in the php and that&#39;s a lot of work for not much gain, especially if we move to IBP 2.0 eventually

How about deleting accounts that have never been used...

also deleted accounts that werent active for a long period of time (eg 1 year) unless they warned the admins that they would be coming back

its stupid to have all these useless accounts <_<

what&#39;s the harm in keeping them?

less trouble to sort through the member list, i guess. and to save database space.

Would you please make a feature somehow that shows how many members are browsing a given thread or forum section?

I believe there already is one.

You can sort the list by the amount of posts made by a member if I&#39;m not mistaken, and something tells me Gand has enough space on his server.

probably. i&#39;m just thinking up excuses for that guy.

in not &#39;that guy&#39; i have an name...

they dont post, dont do anything.... whats the point of keeping them?

maybe they&#39;ll start posting. too much trouble to go through and delete all the inactives. (again, thinking up reasons.)

Just leave them.. think of them as ghosts or something. =_=

People should know how to spell correctly. :mellow:

Well it&#39;s just for those annoying typo&#39;s. It would help readers...

Well, I find that people who use proper punctuation and such don&#39;t make many spelling errors, where as people who use slang do. And I don&#39;t think there is a spell check for slang...

eh... just a thought...

dunno if it&#39;s possible, but it might be nice

If that happens when you update your ava and your old one appears, just right click and hit refresh or reload. ^_^

Is there a way to tell who has access to the Private Forum? Like a list somewhere, maybe?

Yes. Look at the group name under the group image. Members who have access to the Private Forum are "Members", and the other ones are "New Members"

Is there a way to show this in the member&#39;s profile? :)

Under neath the avatar you&#39;ll see Gruops:______. It&#39;s either Admin, Mod, RP Mod, Member, or New Member.

In the profile it&#39;s under the posting details box. And it&#39;s the first one down. It tells you what they are.

Ok, thanks. :P Never noticed in the profile before... :D

Would it be possible to give jurisdiction to composers to let them delete select posts in their own composition threads? Or perhaps the ability to compress file attachments into one post? Or perhaps the ability to have 2 threads - one just for uploading and one for posting the links to the uploaded files, thus causing a master list of all compositions of a select composer in his/her thread.

well it would require massive code changes to do that... I think IPB 2.0 may have that feature, but we (Ichigo&#39;s admin team) haven&#39;t even started talking about migrating yet.

heh, well the main problems that are holding us back are

1) the free version of IPB 2.0 only functions up to 5000 posts among other limitations, so I will have to buy a license (&#036;70, and I&#39;ll be asking for donations when the time comes around :D)
2) porting the skins
3) re-hacking all my hacks back into it
...all while maintaining a parellel 1.3 environment for no service inturruptions XD

??? donations sound fine but... how are you gonna get the money from all over the world? @_@

PayPal? Or you could just get it to his door, that wouldn&#39;t make him uncomfortable at all.

whats paypal?

Yep, paypal (http://paypal.com) works internationally

&#036;70?&#33; Ye Gods that&#39;s cheap&#33; I&#39;d be happy to donate - I mean, if we&#39;ve got 100 active members and everyone donated that&#39;d be 70c each XD

^_^ don&#39;t worry it&#39;s not hard to get &#036;70 donation from a warm-hearted community such as this

you know what this forum needs?

more pink.

was that supposed to be sarcasm?

Me poor

if that was sarcasm, then you can change the forum color in your &#39;controls&#39; to blue...

thank you, alone. you are the anchor that gives my spirit license to soar.

hmmm, here&#39;s a suggestion, if you spam too much, you get banned <_<

now that&#39;s what I call intimidation.

shut up

you are so lucky none of the admins are here

I think you&#39;re seeing something in what I&#39;m saying that isn&#39;t there.

okay, I was going to says something, but it wasn&#39;t very nice, please keep useless spam to a minimum in spam-free threads. General chat&#39;s for that.

admin and mods need to be more active.

yeah, I&#39;ve been spending some time off these few days, sorry :china:

no worries zero&#33; I know what&#39;s it&#39;s like to be a mod (I&#39;m mod for another forum) and it can&#39;t be quite stressful...i&#39;m just glad I&#39;m not admin.

don&#39;t knock it &#39;til you&#39;ve tried it. it&#39;s a blast.

admin duties are stressfull, escpeialy when you get rabbid spammers and people being rude to members and threatening them.
power isnt all its cracked up to be

6 thankfully we dont have people like that <_<

but hey, it would be fun to see someone threaten an admin - im betting he will be banned in 30sec

thats what i did :D
plus would realy threaten someone (especail an admin) who collects swords and crossbows ^_^

This always happens when I&#39;m out.. Sorry people. (_ _)

The RP mods can use the warn system to shut spammers up for a couple of days (or indefinitely) till the global mods get time to deal with them. Maybe we could be part of some kind of Anti-Spammer brigade so the global mods can take time off without having to worry about idiots like this? At the very least we can stop them posting for a few days :)

=_= we aren&#39;t the forum mods. we don&#39;t do anything out of place and we shouldn&#39;t, and if we were allowed to give people warnings for general spam then we&#39;d be global mods.
anyway, i&#39;m not applying for this "off-peak security" job even if there was one up for grabs

I&#39;ve only given out one warning, and it was due to someone being a nuisance within the RP.

I think that should be our only jurisdiction.

Okay, no worries - it was only a suggestion &#39;cause I&#39;ve silenced a couple of spammers before with Zero&#39;s approval (smallfry who kept generating multiple accounts). I won&#39;t do it anymore :)

IRC is besides AIM and ICQ the most dreadful thing on the whole bloody internet.

to people who don&#39;t know how to use it. with an applet, you can designate the channel and network, so it&#39;s just like any other chat addon thing to the forums.

I&#39;d say xangas are worse than all those 3. :P Anyway, there&#39;s nothing wrong with the protocol, just certain chat rooms. I use IRC to chat about random stuff during the day with with my friends back in colorado.

But like I said before, I don&#39;t think adding IRC or chat of any kind would add anything to this forum.

General chat&#39;s our IRC XD I think we&#39;d lose the lovely General Chat atmosphere if we had an IRC applet - with IRC you can only talk to whoever&#39;s there, but with General Chat you can say something and someone can come on a day later and still be able to read it :)

^ General Chat?&#33; when you come back a day later the chat would have already moved by 2 pages (if things are going really slow), so its not comftable reading something 3 pages old when everyone else is talking about something else...

i think any of these IM will just keep people away from the forum

Yeah, but isn&#39;t that exactly the same in IRC? You can&#39;t comment on something that&#39;s already vanished off the screen, and if you consider the amount of people who are on General Chat at any one time, that is what would happen if it was moved onto IRC... I definitely prefer the atmosphere of General Chat to IRC

^same with me

but people stay on one topic a lot longer in irc...

true that but not everyone uses IRC ^^; speaking of which, if Ichigo&#39;s started an IRC channel/applet the atmosphere of the forum wouldn&#39;t be very warm don&#39;t you think :rolleyes: as Alone and Madmazda86 stated, adding something like it will only pull people away from the forum.. then the place would be deserted

it&#39;s just not like Ichigo&#39;s to have IRC.. I think it should stay the way it always has been ^_^

I agree. IRC would only get our members off the forums, and into the IRC channel. That would be a shame. =/

my idea was to have an irc applet in the forums, so people can chat at the same time as posting. synch communication will hardly pull people away from asynch posting.

MSN ^_^

mm mm if people want synch communication, MSN and such are the way ^_^

uhh... well...

If you click "The Moderating Team"... shouldnt She be taken off the Global Moderators?

or maybe just keep it there?

damn its really uncomftable bringing this up

I think her name should be kept there . . it is an honour and a privilege for someone to become a mod/admin, and people should be informed . . by leaving her name there, we leave behind proof of her important role in our community. And we&#39;ll always remember her, as uncomfortable as it may be to see her name there.

That&#39;s just my opinion, it&#39;s not up to me of course.

MSN features one-on-one communication, while irc is a group discussion.

alone: what, everyone&#39;s afraid of mentioning excel&#39;s name now? that&#39;s just trying to erase her from everyone&#39;s memories, along with the other step you proposed.

You can add people to the conversation on MSN. *whips*

Isn&#39;t the General thread anough for random talking? We don&#39;t need another chat channel on Ichigo&#39;s.

uncomfortable to bring it up, but not uncomfortable to see it there...

X_X So many damn InuYasha sheet music requests for various instruments. Can&#39;t we merge them all - the Request forum is riddled with them :(

There wouldn&#39;t be so many if the noobs would read some pinned threads. =_=

But, now that you mention it.....

*rubs chin and runs off toward the sheet music request thread*

Why not have a mod for the sheet request forum... someone to keep track of current and past requests and to tidy it up every now and then ;) Sondagger&#39;s doing a really good job but it must be hard keeping the noobs in line :P

Sondagger or Josh then. I&#39;ve thought of that too, but now I see it would really need more attention. I&#39;ll look over it once in a while too, but I don&#39;t have the time to check if there are multiple threads everyday.

I just tried something like that. We&#39;ll see how it goes.

Yay, Sondagger is the Sheet Music heroine :D :worshippy:

but then, you&#39;d have to 1) add everyone in the forum to msn 2) invite everyone, not knowing whether they&#39;re in the mood to be interrupted by chatting or not. irc isn&#39;t the most popular "chatroom" network for no reason.

Alright.. no matter how good IRC is, this discussion is over. :waves:

well, since people are still talking about it, i&#39;d say it&#39;s still ongoing.

But when a Mod says it&#39;s over, it&#39;s over :shifty:

see? we&#39;re STILL talking about it :P

All I&#39;ll say is this: NO IRC
since Angelic already said ^^;;
I do see all of your points Sinbios ^_^ but that&#39;d be for an IRC thread.

For those who are blind, deaf or just plain stupid and ignorant:

Discussion closed, any more IRC talk will from now on simply be removed.

can we have more color layouts? like silver, red, and black?

^ Actually, that discussion is also closed.. no more skins.

What would help the site I think would be a search box were they can type in like an instument for example and have all the songs with that instrument come up.

That could be done, but I doubt Gand would waste time to put in such a search thing.. I mean, how long does it take for a visitor to look for sheets with say, flute sheets, when there is text underneath them saying "for Flute" or something like that.

Well, its easy if they have a particular song from an anime in mind, but if they are looking for any or all sheet music for flute, then it helps. Also, it saves time from having to look under a title, if its not there, check the next, and then the next, etc. With a search option, you can see al the things for flute right away. I think it would definately make the site more user friendly.

How many people would take the time and use it anyway? A lot of them don&#39;t even bother to read the pinned threads before they request anyway.

This isn&#39;t on the forum, Songdagger, its on the site.

Lol.. "Songdagger"..

Well, to tell you the truth, most of the music is for piano. So.. if they desperately want flute music, then they&#39;re a bit stuck.

I don&#39;t see a point to it really. Since most of the pieces are for piano, there isn&#39;t much else to er.. sift out. :heh:

Even so, they&#39;d still most likely ignore it and go on to Sheet Music Requests in green 7 foot high letters "Can I have flute music for x" X_X Oh, talkin&#39; of which - I&#39;m doing transpositions for Bb clarinet of various requests so I&#39;ll fling them over to Gand for the site if he&#39;s wanting them ;)

Wow, that&#39;s the first time I actually saw her name was Sondagger, not Songdagger. I&#39;VE BEEN MISLEAD&#33;&#33;&#33;

Your eyes are playing tricks XD

Its okay I&#39;ve seen and heard worse&#33; XD

Sorry about the misconception, I thought it ment on the forums.

how about moving the "homosexuals" topic in the Private thread

I don&#39;t think we need to move every serious thread into the private forum.

well... two members shared that they were homosexuals. If they feel fine with sharing it with everyone who visits the forum then i guess its ok...

Should such info be available to everyone, or only to members?

If they aren&#39;t fine with it they shouldn&#39;t have shared it there. Besides, why hide that you are homosexual? Is it something to be ashamed of?

I thought about it, but the topic starter can&#39;t see the private forum yet, so I thought that would be kind of rude to move his/her topic when he/she couldn&#39;t even see it...

People seem to forget what the private forum is about really, they think it is our responsibility to put everything personal in there, but that&#39;s what people have to do themselves. Create or post outside that forum and you know everyone can read it. If you don&#39;t want that, don&#39;t post it outside that forum or don&#39;t post it at all. The fact that it was posted outside the private forum shows that those people don&#39;t mind other people knowing.

no but mayb it&#39;s something that someone doesn&#39;t want the world to know?

Then they shouldn&#39;t have posted it in a public forum in the first place. Their doing, not ours.

Lol whatever, why make a private forum anyway if it&#39;s open to all the public?

lol..

The private forum isn&#39;t open to the public, and if people want to keep thing from the public they can create a topic there. If they don&#39;t mind the public reading it then they can post it elsewhere. Is this hard to understand or are you just not able to think logical? =_=

ok... then how about the argument that it might scare away new members?

I don&#39;t see how it scares away new members. Convince me.

If new members are going to get scared away on a topic like homosexuals, then maybe its better they not come in the first place.

Lol, indeed. I say we drop this matter now, it&#39;s going on for too long ^^;

Aye Aye Capn&#39; ^_^

cool

What was that reply about? Oo;

Hmm, just something cosmetic - y&#39;know, for the stats.gif and the user.gif at the bottom of the Blue skin? Can an admin add an "align center" tag to it? I think it looks slightly off to me . . . :/ . . .

20KB?&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I mean, 20&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Please increase to 30, at least. You CANNOT make a decent animation ava with only 20kb

please please PLEASE&#33;&#33;&#33;

btw, what happened? it used to be larger? or how about you allow to upload avatars like sigs from hosters?

Animated avatars are annoying anyway so I don&#39;t see your problem :whistle:

Diamond&#39;s one was a bit argh after a while, but I was gonna do a nice one of a shot of me playing the violin :)

no no and no. sorry.

pft, i remember when it was like, 8. be grateful for 20.

:bleh: ok

too bad i found this out after i finished my new ava :(

Try optimising it

A free Optimiser can be found at www.xat.com :)

That "Today&#39;s top 10 posters" thing near the bottom can be working to its fullest if possible. It doesn&#39;t show the percents, number of posts that day, or the total posts (:ph34r:). Just so you know. :)

Those statistics were disabled by the admins for a reason. Or two. :ph34r: Post counts do not mean anything here simply because they do not exist . . . :ph34r:

EDIT:
If a topic is relivant, you may point people to it.
Typo? Q: Can I post a link to my site or forum? (http://forums.ichigos.com/index.php?act=boardrules#q25)

Dunno if anyone has said this yet, but I think there should be a computer subforum or something, like one forum people to ask questions or to share their knowledge. Like, to share information on good programs and also on how to keep yourself protected from viruses and spyware and get rid of those really pesky ones like browser hijackers.

HijackThis is your friend ;)

I had one really nasty one that HijackThis didn&#39;t work for. I hate you coolsearch.cc, I HATE YOU&#33; lol.

Ahhh, you need CWShredder for that - nasty :/

Actually, no - that didn&#39;t work. It was a while back, but I remember trying that - I had to use something else. What it did was everytime I opened IE, Opera, or any browser and tried to go to a webpage, it said "you cannot go to this website because it contains spyware" and then it proceeds to tell you to download some spyware program from coolsearch (they tried to make it look like the default windows page, too) :/ I couldn&#39;t go to any websites, plus it automatically reset my homepage to other search sites, complete with porn pop-ups. That was one gigantic pain in the ass. Anyway, like I said - I think there should be a forum for stuff like this.

Hi, my friend showed me this website the other day and I think it is really great that there is a free sheet music resource here. Anyways, I play the piano (which this site is mostly dedicated to) and am planning to study music as my major in college, but my primary would be in percussion, as percussive arts is what I dedicate most of my time to. I think it would be really great if this site transcribed several different insrtuments. I noticed a few full scores were posted but not many. I know posting music for several different types of instruments is difficult but I believe it would benefit the site greatly. Just a suggestion.

First of all, suggestions need to go in the suggestions thread.

Second, I&#39;m working on it. ;)

Actually this will be easier to look for as part of the Ichigo&#39;s Grand Super Redesign&#33; I&#39;m working on moving all the information into a database which can then be searched (by instrument, anime, etc).

Aside from ease of use, the front-end will remain about the same. And still pink of course XD

I&#39;m working on a guide on how to do transposition for different instruments as well - that will go in the Sheet Music Requests section :)

I&#39;ve been talking to a few members recently, and we feel that the Music/Composition boards have been ignored. We understand that the staff is busy, but perhaps a new mod could help out? With Noir7 and Michael gone, the threads and the CMA aren&#39;t managed as well as we would like.

Yeah, I feel bad pestering Spoony to pin stuff when she&#39;s got so much work on with her exams :/ But at the same time Noir7 might come back... and yet we do kinda need someone to pin/unpin things and update the Awards thread.

And then, if the admins say we can have a new mod, who would it beee? :think:
