Here is the suggestion: make forum games against the rules and ban everyone that tries to start one.

Ok then just ban rokit boy because he just posts on every single thread with absolutely nothing to add in any of them.
On a slightly more serious note, what the hell, Saso.

Elaborating on that: I said we shouldn't be punishing users keeping the forum alive with posts even if the posts are a bit pointless, at the very least until the community grows in size and content output.

But that doesn't mean I like forum games.

That actually makes sense, although at least for me it appears that the forum has a pretty good level of activity for what it is. I am active in another small developer's forum, and I can say that when the game is released there will be a shit-ton of new threads and lots of activity, but soon afterwards that activity will probably drop to almost zero if there isn't anything new. The only way to keep it alive is if an actuall community comes out of this forum, and at least from my personal experience I don't see forum games helping forums as a community. I don't see why this forum would need a lot of activity to serve it's purpose, but I'm guessing you probably have experience managing other forums, and I haven't done anything more than moderating, at least not on a good scale.

And sorry about that, rokit, I was kinda going against the forum rules.

Really, that depends on whether you think all activity will boost a community. Really, only proper posts will add to the community, but I guess forum games can tide it over to the next useful post.
However, close the damn counting game thread. It's beyond pointless.

You need to stop it.
People may think there's a bromance.
Then there may be fanfic.
Do you want fanfic?

Should hack about in the code to set a minimum text size or should I just remove font size

Or maybe ban everyone using it for wasting everyone else's time

Do you think you could add a clear all unread posts button because I use it a lot and it's driving me absolutely insane trying to click through all of the posts about my game doesn't work(I'm OCD if you're wondering)

You mean like the button that says "Mark forums read" on the index of the forums in the upper right corner

Click "Mark forums read" on the frontpage in the top right.

Re: Forum TODO

Is this the suggestions box? If so:

1. Mari0 mapping threads could use a
tag; to hide some text until it's hovered or clicked on.
2. Rules about the topic name format; for instance, map packs should be prefixed with [MP] or similar. Alternatively, selectable thread icons, or a sections for map packs only.

Edit: I just noticed my first suggestion had been implemented already. Thanks.

Could you make it so the spoiler isn't just text with a black box over it? Sometimes I want to post lots of text that is only readable when someone opens the spoiler.

Well this might help. You know lua code syntax highlights? I found this: http://qbnz.com/highlighter/
It supports Lua and about 30 more, it is for phpBB forums. Just thought it would help.

I actually already tried doing syntax highlights but the one I tried made a mess of everything.

I'll take a look at that one.
