I moved the flags to the username dropdown menu instead. Tell me what you think.

Other than having to click to see where someone is from(sorry I'm lazy.) It looks good.

That looks pretty cool, Blah. I kinda liked the flags visible though, it was simply the customability I was objecting to.

I think shin's less worried about GFF turning into Myspace and more of it turning into Gaia Online.

Of course, we should also remember that the amount of stuff in your postbit doesn't necessarily correspond to posting quality. Take a look at GameFAQs for good evidence of that.

But it can do. The last time there was an Ace Combat theme, there was a lot of aggression directed at anyone speaking out against the week. Participants all merged together under a collective us and them mindset and individual, thoughtful posts gave way to robotic 'typing the exact opposite to what I really think makes me biting and witty' sarcasm posts, because everyone with an Ace Combat avatar felt on the defensive or something.

There you go, that's a direct example of customisable features resulting in reduced post quality.

Oh and I think the new flag position is the best yet. It didn't make sense on that post bar because everything on that relates to the individual post, not the user.

Psh, that's just Ace Combat. You gonna start picking on Dino Team and the Phoenix Wright arms next? It's not like that happens all the time and it's generally within control. Because seriously what you're picking out is the abuse of anything. It can be words, gifs, small static images, youtube videos, ascii characters. Anything at a person's disposal is fair game. Sure avatars and sigs might make it a bit easier to go masquerading as Rogue Squadron pilots or the Red Baron or whatever the fuck you like but if a good amount of people get together to have some good fun who are you to say they can't if they put forth the effort with what's available? Oh no I don't think you should use that avatar and sig to have a caber toss down the hall JUST BECAUSE I SAYS SO.

I like the new flag position. I'd still love the option for custom flags but OH MAN if it leads us down the path to final jeopardy WELL I JUST DON'T KNOW. Gonna write down in scribble cursive "blue". I'm sure that's what was inside Pandora's box. Lots of BLUE.

One curious thing about the online status which I love by the way is the way it displays invisible status. That should be offline.

Gonna go check if that's a staff only thing.

Yup it only displays that for staff. Sorry Kolba, I've exposed you! Gonna have to relocate again. >=I

Yeah, that's nice. Did it always used to show invisible members with stars next to their names on the front page list before? I only just noticed that...

Yeah, Kolba* for example. That's how it shows who is invisible. We all know + means on your buddy list.

Smooth.

Hey I didn't know that :(

When paired with his brother Merv's angry and vicious. No provocation, no addressing the party by name or by quotes, and no rebuttal. He's like Tails with no charm.
The Ace Combat incident isn't a very good example. That was more about the participants (mainly Team Awesome) and not about the way they were using their av/sig spaces. Sort of the way me and other Team Fedora members got chastised when we used our av/sig spaces in the same way.

Hmm, some sort of Team Fedora custom flag would be awesome. =OOO Also the new flag space is good and would make custom flags less annoying because they'd never be in your face every post.

I'm so with you on a Team Fedora flag. :P

What do you mean by paired with?

I'm angry and vicious all on my own.
