AMA About PC5 @ The Treehouse

[Alexander Nicholi]

Will you be implementing usergroup colour changes as seen years ago? Can you share colour candidates at all?

Aside from TT, what other forums are you planning to overhaul?

What are the specifications for PC's box, assuming it is on a single one?

How optimized is PC's source code? How much is still leftover from VB3?

Are you guys looking at ever reformatting the avatar system, making it into a thumbnail or forcing JPEGs or such?

What things outside the scope of the forums will PC be making an endeavour for?

What are you doing to expand PC's size and scope in the interest of traffic?

 

[Lucid]

Debate who has the biggest weener.

 

[Spiff]

Wait, what exactly is so wrong with this place that it requires a revamp?

 

[Her]

What can we expect in terms of the postbit & avatars?

What adjectives would you use to describe the new style the forum will have?

What are the top 3 goals you hope to achieve with the update?

 

[gimmepie]

What plans are there relative to the blogs on PC?

 

[Universe]

are you guys gonna actually give PC a slogan?

the one we have's gettin a little stale, ya know? that's all i got for now.

 

[Foxrally]

What's the main job of a staff administrator? I've always wanted to know :O

Any thoughts of adding a game section to PC? I've seen it happen on a few vBulletin forums before.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

What improvements can be expected for profile design?

On a scale from 1-10 how easy will navigation be for PC newcomers?

Any further improvements possibly coming for the Treehouse?

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

How is PC going to deal with continuous heated arguments by the same individuals from the Discussions & Debate section regarding touchy subjects?

What methods will be used to encourage more fan clubs from the club sections to stay active, so it won't just one or two of them?

Will there be new Emblems with specific requirements that sound nearly impossible to achieve?

 

[Klippy]

What feature are you most excited about that you're able to tell members about?

 

[blue]

Moving forward is it likely that we'll see new/updated sections opening up?

 

[Salzorrah]

What are the main features you'll release for PC5?

As for blogs are concerned, will they get a complete overhaul, or atleast features similar to posts like the css style bug, and the like system?

New beta forums for supporters to try out?

Any news when will the supporters be getting their userbars?

Will you be scrapping the vB3 base for something new, or you'll stick with it with more new features?

For styles, will we have an easier time making them and uploading them?

Will you guys be removing or adding outside-forum staff usergroups like the BSS?

Any color changes to the usergroups?

MENTIONS? HASHTAGS?

What was the thought process behind renaming General Chat to The Treeouse? Not particularly talking ablut the choice of name, but rather to rename the forum in the first place.

A few days ago a concept was brought forth by administration to The Treehouse which talked about how we would experiment with a 'new forum a month.' We're you actually being serious about this, or was this just another discussion starter thread? If the former, what will be the selection process be like in deciding which forums will be test ran? Who will have the ability to moderate these sections: higher staff, current moderators, or the people who suggested the forum in the first place? At the end of each month, how will it be decided which forums will stay and which ones will be trashed?

Would you ever consider scrapping the orange Supet Moderator color and replace it with the old Assistant Admin green? Based off of my talks with Super Moderators, it doesn't seem that orange is the most popular color.

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions from the community by the way.

Many suggestions in CQ&F right now are being brushed off on the basis that it's coming in v2 / v1.5 / v5 / whichever. This has been the case for many months. When is it expected to be done? If there is no expected date then is it still worth postponing acting on suggestions?

What's going on with the nomenclature? It's changed a number of times now and beyond the new styles (they're gorgeous, by the way) there've been no major releases.

Who is involved in designing PC5? How will you make sure that people get a say in what's going to change before it's done without considering their input or objections?

(also guys I can't help but feel like this thread was intended for v5-only questions, not stuff like... "why didn't we have a new year get-together", haha)

 

[Aquacorde]

can we expect to see any new features that could begin to let us compete with bulba and serebii? like, in terms of resources and functionality beyond social interaction
if so, what kinds?

is there going to be anything done to bring back more pokemon focus?

 

[abnegation]

What the hell IS PC anyway?

Hiroshi Sotomura this is the longest 24 hours ever??

 

[Lucid]

Mine won by a landslide, now do it.

 

[moon]
