I tried to tubmail ET this but he didn’t read it, so I’ll post it here.

OK, Evil Trout, I have a suggestion involving the battle system. It would probably require a complete redo, so it probably wouldn’t be finished until episode three. Like the original, you pwn threads. But your goal is not to pwn all the threads. There are simply too many. To make it more realistic, there would be several boards per forum, each of which likely has several pages of threads. However, you are not trying to pwn them all. At the bottom of the page displaying all the boards on the forum is a Who’s Online list. You can click on the WO list to see what all the members are viewing. Some of the more curious ones may view your profile when you’re new. Occasionally, one will leave and immeadiately be replaced by another. Next to the WO list is a pwnage meter. Doing annoying activities on the forum, whether its pwning threads or doing something else, fills it up slightly. When the WO pwnage meter fills up, someone leaves and is not replaced. The ammount of viewers permanently decreases by one. This system would allow bonuses for some activities- say, necrobumping, or perhaps even posting a new thread. However, there is a new danger. If the creator of a thread sees you attacking his thread, he may lock it, forcing you to leave, delete it, stopping you from pwning that thread permanently, or just leave (yay!)

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
