Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus?
Always an option, but I'm also looking to make my Chao invisible to everyone else.Quote:

I think it's pertinent enough.

Chaos still need to be less integrated into the site. What about the thread thing or w/e?
I think that should stay, because why not. Although I do want to use a sprite that isn't as oddly shaped. That is just the only one I had in close dimensions. One that's a much smoother, just round shape, would be better, imo. It doesn't even have to be a Chao, but I'd like it to at least keep the Chao colors. Maybe just a two-toned sphere. But I could just use a head or something too. Shit's up in the air.
It's unneeded tho. I see no point in having it. It just looks tacky; doesn't serve a real purpose.
At the very least, I think that should be optional, too.
Expressiveness. I don't think a softer image like a sphere would look as tacky. I do think the current shake is distracting, but again it's all I had to work with with this size. I'd love it changed, but think user-specific icons would be a good idea. You get the freedom to make something that you can't really do on other forums, and you don't really have to participate or acknowledge it if you don't want. Subtler would be better, but overall I don't see a downside to it.
I just think it doesn't really fit in general. What is it even there for? If anything, it should be optional, or not present at all.
It abandons the main scheme of this website, being a gaming forum. Not a chao game-oriented type deal. All in all, the whole Chao implementation is pretty unnecessary as is. Do you have any plans for refinement?
Chao are from a game. Having icons from games fits the theme perfectly. Refinement of what?
Chao are from a game, obviously. Icons for what? What theme? Is the theme of this forum Chao? That's what I mean by it's too heavily integrated into the site. People barely even like them. Why in the world is your Chao, from a game, appearing as an icon in a forum post completely unrelated to Chao? It would make more sense to make that apply to 'Chao World' only. Or alternatively, it should be optional.Quote:

FYI, not grumpy or whatever. Frankly I just think most of your contributions to the forum suck.
Edit: Most of your contributions, not all. I do respect the good you've done for the forum. But I also do find it kind of funny how you always point to making suggestions for the site yet you're always adamant with what others want if it's not in your best interest.
Just stop being a bigot and do as I suggested.
Obvious continual improvements. Karate/race system, more items, promotions, etc. Essentially it'll be a mini game heavily integrated to reward participation. And it's optional. :PQuote:

I added the option to hide this from posts, so chill your tits. I'll find a better icon when I find a better icon. Shit doesn't make itself, and it's not that big a deal compared to something that will impact activity.Quote:

IDK if it is fully cross-browser, 'cause I use a non-image extension for the old icon. But I think even older browsers were not shit enough to figure it out, and mine can, so... if you have like broken image boxes or something, lemme know, and I'll fix it. But this is taken care of for now.
My only gripe right now is the Chao being the default thread icon. You should make it to where the Chao icons appearing by the thread is an option but by default it should not appear on a made thread.
Also the previous idea of making Chao icons in posts exclusive to Chao World is still up in the air if you want to consider it.
Chao aren't the default icon is you hide them. :P
Muchas gracias my friend.Quote:
