Topic: Ideas for the site

Hi, NL Team. I have a couple of suggestions for the site. They might have been suggested already, but I checked the existing threads and I didn't see the same ideas anywhere.
Firstly, I think there should be a polls section, where the NL team post polls for the users, such as "Are you planning to get a 3DS?" or maybe polls that could help improve the site. Seeing as NL is all about opinions, I think it's an easy way of finding out what NL users think. I've seen this sort of thing on other gaming websites and I think it would work well here. Secondly I think users should be able to rate games, like on a scale of 1 to 10. What do you think? Thanks for reading,

not really interested in polls myself; they're just more useless fluff IMO, and i never use them when i'm on other sites. as for user ratings, i know user reviews have been in the works for over a year now; maybe there would be a score functionality along with that once it finally hits. :3

Ok, cool. Thanks, theblackdragon.

I like the idea of reader scores and an average of those.It would be like NL's own metacritic and would be a nice feature to have.
Polls ?....nah .Who cares if I'm gonna get a 3DS or not? _{just for the record I am BTW}

id like to make my OWN game reviews

As someone who wants to see more discussion, the only way I think user reviews would work is if there was a user review subforum where each game gets a topic for users to post their reviews and discuss them.

I like both ideas.

Hooray! Someone likes my polls idea. Thanks MetalMario (and everyone else for replying).

Can we please have a new section for all the 'games' that are clogging up General Discussion? Thanks!

On the ratings idea, there should be an option not to show, because everyone knows lz will go around decreasing everyones.

How about a thread where we vote on what was the best thread of the year?

i LOVED the ability rate games on the old vc-reviews site, and I miss it terribly

I look forward to 'The Best "The Best Thread" Thread'

I made one awhile ago about which thread was the Thread of the Week. Maybe you could revive that one for me?

point costs when listing all games on vc or wiiware would be cool

I have a new idea. How about a thread where every week we do a popularity poll where we put one character aganist the other like:

Mario VS. Link

Samurai Warriors VS. Muramasa

Kefka VS. Seporith _{yeah for butchering names}

And on some occasions we can do team battles such as the Mario Brothers vs. Sonic and tails

And lastly we can do a free for all for example Princess Peach VS. Princess Daisy VS. Rosalina VS. Pualine

This is just something I just thought of in my head and as a result, some parts are not completly skectched out but if we put some work into it this can be a great idea for the NL fourm.

@Gmls719 I'm pretty sure TBD already said polls are out of the picture.

I would like to see a page number when navigating boards or the "unread topics" page. It currently just displays "Showing 76 to 100 of 391, when I would really like it to say Page 4 too, since you have to navigate by page number at the bottom.

I didn't say they were out of the picture, I was just offering my own opinion on them. Ant said in the Have Your Say thread that poll software was in the works.

Also there needs to be a way to go to different pages at the top.
