Suppose the JA had a new website?

What would you want to see in it? My recent project has taught me much of the arts of software development. To make sure these skills grow I'll yet again be redesigning the JA website. This is much more than a visual retooling. I'll be rewriting the site in PHP 5, using classes, a template system, new database structure that meshes better with our current site needs, and all layout being handled by css (no tables!). This will probably take some months to accomplish, so while I'm working on it I'd like your input as to what you'd like to see on the site. No idea is too big, small, too smart or dumb. The one thing I don't want is images in forum posts and signatures. That drives me up the wall. No flash either.

Another reason for doing this is because I get at least one request a month to see my site code. Right now I don't give it out because frankly it looks like ass. I did the bottom level stuff a long long time ago. This new site will be spic and span on the inside and out. :)

So lets hear it!

Lots and lots and LOTS of work. Work work work. Haven't had much time to do a new site. I've got some code down, but nothing substantial.

I've been thinking about this.

Using some kind of simple filter on comments, so that when you click 'Add comment', it is automatically screened for naughty words.
Then you could perhaps set up some thread that only JAK+ can see, and if a naughty word is detected, is it automatically posted on to that JAK+-thread, with a link, so they know quicker what happens.

make the ability to use smileys a priviledge, not a right.

there are few things more irritating than smileys scattered like confetti over posts with no meaning or relevence.

Maybe it is just me >_>, but it would be nice to have an extra field in the Profile section for gender considering that at times in-game it could be hard to tell :P

There should be a DJ's Censor-Matic feature built in. Oh, and a glorious revolution button...so when you hit it, it plays the music from tetris. :P

This suggestion is more along the visual lines. I'd like to see a different color for the site al around. As well as a more solid template. Maybe not so "ordered". Being alittle crazy with it could be alot of fun for users.:D

Also, I am pretty good with PS so if you guys need any banners or gif. buttons or what ever, lemme know. I'd be happy to help!

You may want to use another name on the servers instead of the current one. If you change your Game name to the same name you use on the servers, you probably won't be asked who you are on the site. :D
