MyBB really is a neat board system. I have plugins so members can share with FB, G+, Linkedin, Twitter, Technorati, Digg, MySpace and Delicious. That's just too cool!

Nice. Curious tho why not just use ss.co forums, I'm sure polix would open up sub boards for ya.

Hi,

 

I added a chat system to the message board, so users should be able to chat using the white bar at the bottom and clicking on the (+) icon. I also added instant notification of private messages via popup notifier (non-invasive).

I will maintain a presence here and there. I need to setup a board to help manage my site for downloads and other information.

 

The decision to make a site is base in part on the fact that for Phoenix USC to be legitimate it has to have its own site as well as everything potential gamers would expect to have, a message board being one. I guess this is the moment in which Phoenix grows up to be a real game. I really want to give this project the best chance to be successful. In today's world that means a slick site and message forum as well as a first class game. I have gone to some length to establish a presence in social media services now supporting most of them including RSS Feeds. Supporting all these media points is a key strategy in extending Phoenix USC's reach. This forum supports many but not Facebook, RSS Feeds and others. We have a great group here but I want to reach out to as many as I can and provide a comforting presence by way of an anchor website.

 

I also need to establish a form of revenue to help defray the costs of development. Establishing Phoenix USC's site makes this job easier. Since I am seeking donations I'm going to need all the help I can get. Typically people donate because they want to support your game. Providing donors with with essential support and services goes a long way in winning them over. 

 

So all this is just first steps toward what I hope will be a longer journey toward a very successful game.

 

I should add that I am doing what I can to bring users here as well. The community here is key to making Phoenix USC a success. Until Phoenix is firmly in a beta phase Subspace/Continuum and subpace.co are really the only game in town. This why I will continue to make this forum my home as it has been for sometime.

Hi,

 

Added plugin to let users list their social sites in stat/avatar. Added a info sidebar that very cool. I've also been installing spam and account misuse plugins. Almost there I think. Looking good.

 

I also added banner images for profiles. Way cool to advertize your zone. Added a profile album plugin so you can keep images in albums and use in post. Others can even comment on them or browse them; super neat.

I have added a user page feature ( part of a users profile page ) to the message board. You can just type in a message or use HTML as I have done here:

http://www.phoenixusc.com/board/member.php?action=profile&uid=1&area=userpage

 

It's a neat feature and you can add in video, images, off site links and more via HTML. This feature is available through the User CP (control Panel).

 

This with he albums feature really make it easy for users to promote their servers or whatever through a users profile. This should provide a good level of support for Phoenix USC.
