taking suggestions again

[Oscar]

what can we add or change to the sites to make them better and have you visit more often or stay longer? All suggestions are read and considered.
Thanks.
WWS

well i can hopefully get some more videos this year, and hopefully some on-rides so stay tuned for that

Well, I think the online games were a very good idea I find myself on them during lesson time in school [;)] so maybe if there was just some more games, that would be good. Maybe you could think of some more strange things that people could buy with their points....I can't think of one right now, but, I will try and think of something sometime today and get back to you.......or if anyone else has any suggestions.

Gouldy, there will be more games, I gave wws a site that has a ton of games, so dont worry. he just has to find the time to put some of them in. And yeah, mabye some more things with the points.

if you need the site again wws, here it is

Maybe, someone could construct quite a few signatures like the ones that weeweeslap and edge have, some funny ones or something, which people could buy with a certain amount of points *shrugs shoulders* something like that maybe......

Maybe creating a new forum for user-run contests...the peeps post a contest description along w/ their e-mail address & other peeps mail them stuff to judge. No staff required...

I think we need stricter guidelines for ratings.
For example, personal preference is still a HUGE factor for ratings. For example some people rate down for LIM brakes, while some people think they are more realistic and use them as magnetic brakes.

Another, even bigger issue is the points you recieve for realism vs. originality. Someone who makes a very accurate, realistic, standart B&M coaster should get just as many points as someone who built in some fantasy element. It doesn't show skill to make up an origininal element, it's just as hard to stick to the genuine style of the company. Accuracy and Originality should be rewarded equally, even if it's not a recreation.

I think creating more quizzes might attract more guest and members (if you offer points, that is)[;)]

how about an option to buy more games? [:D]
or that you can buy a game for ... points, and if you win the game that you win .. points, lose game, lose .. points... [:D]
some fun point things. [:D]

you could award points for high scores in the games.

I was sure i asked wws or the edge about a highscore table for the games.

I'm not sure that is possible without the FLA sources. WWS will have to respond on that.

Oh and my suggestions would be add some elements to the point score (as previously discussed), the paging thing we said about on msn and making it so ratings on tracks don't show up on the exhange as an overall average score until say 3 rates are there to stop blatant over / under rating.

Maybe some original games you can only find here!!![approve]
Speaking of which, my brother and I are gonna start working on a flash game this summer, and if we feel it turns out good, could we be able to send it into you and let you see if its worthy of being on the site?

I think you should have more staff that will rate comments left for tracks, and if you leave good informational comments then you gain points, if your comment is irrelivent or just plain dumb you should loose points and if you have an average comment your points should just stay where they are. Also there should be penalties or warning for all the newbie's out there who upload there first horrible track that took them 5 mins of random clicking.

could you change the menu bar on coastercrazy. It is annoying how it is on a slant. [;)]

why do you have both Coastercrazy.com and coastercrazy.com??? Your just paying more for 2 domain names, and its all the same thing, I'm really baffeled.

[Oscar]

because some people and kid's parents get offended at the name, so I have an alternative site, it is only $8 more in costs per year to have both domains. No rise in hosting for both either. Yet I have 3 domains using the same set of files, the third one is still under development [;)]

lol, feel free to post it in vips [;)]

Here is a serious suggestion... Is there a way to add a "mute" button to the Flash animation that always plays when the site is loaded? Usually I'm listening to music and running through my usual sites and all of a sudden the loud, obnoxious booms and the annoying electrical sound blares through the speakers. Every time! Every time I press "back" when I'm on one of your sub-pages, it plays again! So, please take my idea into consideration.

[Oscar]

sure, simply edit your profile and chose the standard image mode there, has always been there and was stated when we renovated the website.

Edit - never mind I just read your post above.

But I agree there should be more quiz's, and give the option to find out which ones we got wrong just after we've done the test!

I am sorry WWS, I must have missed that. Thanks for the heads up.
