So you were just idling around the forum today, unsure of what to do with yourself when a genie pops out of no-where and makes you an admin and says you can make three changes to the forums. What changes would you make and why?

I'd:
1) Reverse all topic names in Anything.
2) De-capitilise Rooster and Arolest's nicks.
3) Add a word filter that changes the letter 'e' to "xylophons"

:D

How about you?

1. Replace C and c with an animated Pacman.
2. Apply vowel randomization to every post.
3. Put up a message on the main page to make it look like the Vietnamese hacker did it.

I'd apply the following regular expressions.

s/\bthe\b/teh/gi
s/\b(omg)\b/z$1/gi
s/(?<!doc )\bsigma/Doc Sigma/gi

You would want to turn this into a pacman fan forum then?

1. I would make an option to have a "quick editing" system, in which one does not have to go to a new page to edit their post. They will simply be able to edit their post on the topic's main page as if the text in their own post was that of text on a word pad. I have observed this on other forums, its really cool.

2. I would add a [spoiler] tag into the board's code. This would apply to both signatures and posts. The spoiler tag, of course, would work similarly to how the spoiler works on Live Journal, in that you have to click to view the "spoiler" text or images. This is good in dealing with topics such as books or movies, if you're talking about the ending, or if you are posting a large image and don't want to expand the topic page too much. It also works when your signature is rather large (Chris).

3. I would ban everyone.

I honestly don't have the first idea of what I'd do if I were the admin.

I'd spend my day off the computer and discover what it's like to be a guy.

change it so that logging in after pressing the reply button continues you on to the reply page, not the index.

It's not really poor grammar, it's just not parallel. There's nothing GRAMMATICALLY wrong with it.

Game?

Would this topic be more suited for the forum games section?

1: I'd miss being my marvelous self.
2: I'd translate the entire forum into Canine and Feline (and other "furry" languages if needed).
3: I'd add more emoticons. (There can never be enough emoticons.)
4: *yerf* (enough said.)

Firstly, I'd hit everyone with a Nert-nert-nert!

Secondly, I suppose I'd have to organasise a forum outing to the zoo.
