SkateFluckit Upgrades/Future

[Stokenstein]

There was a time when Fluckit had a homepage, a news section, and a few other features. We were premiering box art for the games before even sites like IGN, doing giveaways endorsed by EA and all kinds of cool stuff.

At the time it really made sense to keep the site looking nice but it is pretty slow now. If traffic increases or Skate 4 is announced (which doesn't seem likely) or a promising skateboarding game, we'll adjust for that. We've been here since 2006 and won't be leaving anytime soon and we'll adapt as things happen.

I am still on here more than prople may realize, I just usually lurk. There are a few things we'll be looking into soon like the avatar issues and some people's comments posting twice.

I sure hope backwards compatibility brings some new people in.

From tge looks of it s3 is going to make the bc cut on the xbone. But I still wonder about online play and dlc. Either way I doubt it will bring many new peeps here. I'm keeping my 360 (aka my skate box) but I will probably buy another copy and a xbone anyways

Thanks for the replies, guys. I do also want to add that I love this site as it is, but this was just an idea if anything pops off in the skate community.

The people here are all that matters but not to say we shouldn't want anything.
There's a lot of talent around so I know we're more than capable of an upgrade.
If you really want new people here it would help but only slightly.
Even if they came for the looks they would stay for our content and feedback.
The looks dont really matter but it could be another way to express our love for the series.

I've run into quite a few realistic skaters on the game lately who don't film at all. If they were to get an Xbox one I could seem them gaining interest in a community like fluckit. So yeah.. Entirely possible new people will find us.

not against any of those idea... but i like the look of the forum.. it remind me of what skateboard is all about, doing your thing no matter how it look has long as you have fun, simple and practical

if we were to changer the banner i want it to be nyjah/big element logo/nike/bam margera jumping grocery cart... you know thing that really matter to skateboarding...

i have not been here for a long time and i dont post much, but i like the how people respect each other (pretty relative to the fact that were not much) so i dont think a huge change in moderating is needed.. but i may be wrong... but i will accept any change

The xbone emulates a 360, so as far as the game and live knows you're playing on a 360. Not only will online play work, but you'll be able to play with people who are still on xbox 360.

I feel like Project: Session is going to make this topic relevant again. Just sayin, while I agree we shouldn't exactly "market" or advertise this forum, P:S may bring in a lot of attention and it might be important to tighten up moderation as Mr. Muhzzy pointed out. Nothing to worry about unless it actually happens, but just something to keep in mind.

I would be down for anything that involves working on making the forum a tighter unit. Active moderators are not important now, but when it is a case of clicking a couple of buttons, it doesn't make sense to me to not think about doing that.

New graphics would be nice, at the very least get rid of the Vbulletin part and have a simple Fluckit logo there or something. As for colours and layouts I quite like what it is now.

I would like it if we could upgrade any of the thread tools, there are loads of things on other forums but I dont know if its just a case of activation them or something so I don't know if that is possible. I especially would like a "Spoilers" tool to create hidden text that people can expand, would really neaten up certain threads, like the P:S ideas thread.

As for new memebers, I am actually all for it.
If we got cool new members than that goes without saying that it is a good then, if we get n00bs and griefers, then we can either ignore them, suggest how they might improve their behavior, or the new Moderator teams could temp or perma ban them.

But you guys don't think that the mods will show up in here more often again if we get a new skate game?
