- Animated signatures.

Ability to add animated avatars and even images (regardless of size) in signatures was removed so not sure how that would pass.

Yeah but it could come back too Sad

- Access to new and private chatrooms and/or boards.

I think the right time to monetize the forum in this way has passed.

Okay maybe we don't have to monetize it? Maybe the ranks could be allotted to specific people like: DT members, Merit sources ya know? Since the forum administration plays a big role in both deciding DT1 members and merit sources, these members surely deserve a rank for themselves. For everything they have done. I mean imagine how cool it would be if DT members have like a police siren as their badge or something. Shocked

Or like GLOWING SIGNATURE? pew pew pew

I remember you telling in the past you brought it up to theymos in the staff board, any luck yet? And I quite vividly remember discussing the potential benefits that these new ranks could include, that too years ago. Oh well. We can only keep discussing about it.

Similar ideas were raised by many people, and afaik theymos commented publicly (~somewhere~) about this and didn't seem particularly enthused.

Yeah like hilarious said, what else can the community do other than just suggest :/

But a novelty at this cost, is it worth considering that it is almost worthless realistically?

I created the Community generated suggestions to improve the forum (+ eventual voting on them) thread a while back: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4893744.0

And theymos did post in there somewhere with his opinions on them. Think they were separated into three categories like yes, no, maybe so you can see where he stands on certain things.

Yeah I remember reading about it too, but damn I really hoped we would go somewhere from there.

I don't think images would be a big deal and could be one of the benefits of the highest donator tier. I think they were originally removed along with gifs for being too flashy/distracting or something, but signature designs have evolved over the years and many of them can be pretty flashy so I don't think there would be much difference between images and bbcodes really. I think people found a loophole on the avatars as well as some of them are animated.

While I understand why an attack using images could be made, there could also be security measures taken against accordingly. Also, see you get it, something could be done.
