I think there should be a community room or something like that so the AG community can have conversations and play games that are multi-player together.
Dan likes the idea of a live chat, but the old one we had in place put too much strain on the site and servers so we had to remove it. We might do another one in the future, but it will probably show up after AG3 is live.
I would take that feature with a grain of salt, but you're welcome to try that idea again! lol Sorry, I just heard so many bad things about the chat we used to have here, and it wasn't just the system.
Yeah I'm not a fan of a live chat system, because it's too hard to moderate. I think our new activity stream and private messages between users will help a lot with user-to-user spam. And if the new reputation system doesn't grant points for posting by default, and only grants points when users "like" something, I think we'll battle most of the spam right there.
mabye you could block all curse words and their variations (like using ( for c and putting spaces between the letters.) then they would be so hard-pressed to think of new ways to write curse words, they just wouldn't.
sorry Ian it is franks falt,(lol) he told me it was "to be done or to be discused" LOL
yah live Chat seem like a computer slowing down time bomb to me! so many problems. i mean i like the idea but puting it in to action with now problems would be hard but it would stop a lot of spaming!
like that idea the Ian! i hope it would work! but people would be hard pressed to get piont unless they realy get in to the communty... that is good and yet bad. cuz for us commity poeple it would be good but for the users (about 75% acording to Mr.DayCee that one time and i think he is right) that only do it as a trophy of there hiness in the gaming world (all bullony)might get out and leave, but them might still stay.

What what what? Where?

True enough...I also forsee "lz vote up!" but that will just turn out to be the opposite of what the guy wants. The others will just vote down this comment!
Well, remember that AG3 will have two scoring systems:
Reputation will be based on users liking/disliking content that you write.
Armor Points will be awarded for game achievements, creating game content, etc., so the Armor Points will be more like a gamer score, and not as a reflection of how much they write in the forums, etc.

well i was realy jokeing! but some where you looked it up for all of us and gave a whole bunch or definitions for it. i just wanted to plame soem one (jokingly) or the fun of it don't worry you did nothing wrong but i real fouled ya! uhm december's fools? LOL
so the comminty part would work seperatly form the gamer part of the site (knida in piont any ways) so pionts are to get unlochable and just for those how what to "show off" (i geuss you could call it) and rep are for the comminty rank and well rep. "will" rank be a REP or AP thing?
cuz for us commity poeple it would be good but for the users (about 75% acording to Mr.DayCee that one time and i think he is right) that only do it as a trophy of there hiness in the gaming world (all bullony)might get out and leave, but them might still stay.
that is all wrong then (some what) but people that don't get in to the comminty won't be able to do some stuff then right? like make or (possably) be in clans or stuff like that?
uhm after (problay a good amout of time) AG3 is lauched they ar "going" to make a "groups/clans" , where you can make one and invite or exepet invites to "groups/clans" that will talk about the subject of what ever the "group/clann" talkes about and so on. you will need a sertant amount of REP or AP to get in. if they wil make gruop achievement ... I don,t know but there probaly be some, but if they make achievements for making a group/clan it would make people spam alot but after time they would lose REP and would not be able to make group/clans. so realy IDK.
No, Kyahco, you may not need AP/Rep to *join* a group, your answer was incorrect. What I said was that you would probably need a certain level of AP/Rep to *create* a group.
We had a meeting yesterday afternoon where almost everyone in the company chimed in about achievements and what we wanted to do for our first achievement(s). Larry and I want to give out achievements for submitting a high score on a game, or give out an achievement for whoever has *the* highest score for a game, but Dan would like to actually create a game which gives achievements on the site. I have no examples to cite at this time, but we'll make sure everyone's aware of what we're doing in that area.
