Suggestion: Hubs

[Marx_Ultra]

This is an idea that I got from another forum. If anyone knows of FC (friendcodes forums), you know how at the top they have a section called "hubs". This is usually the place where people chat for a particular game. Since FC and PC are powered by vbulletin, why not bring hubs over to PC? Once we do have hubs, we can eliminate quick battle/trade threads. I know we already have a "chat" but why not have both chat and hubs? With hubs, it'll be a lot quicker to do battle/trades. Usually the maximum limit for one hub is 4, but people can make hubs as they please. Another feature to this is to "password lock" your hubs. That way, you don't have random people coming into your hub when you don't want them to. I think it's worth a shot. ;)

Whats the difference between a Hub and a Thread?
How much better is it from a thread?
Is the script available for free?

The password lock feature would probably not be good, if you have to do some private association, use PMs, Emails or Chat... Why a thread / hub?
That would invite unnecessary load on an already loaded server.

i just looked at that site you said to see what hubs were and i do not like the idea. i think the quick battle/trade thread keeps them far more organized then those. and why would you want to lock people out? if you dont want to trade with them then just igonore them.

That kinda sounds like separating everyone into certain areas and keeping them in and also keeping others out. :/ Wouldn't really be PokéCommunity then, would it?
