iBotPeaches Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I've been looking around at other sites and made some conclusions. Some sites have no features, they don't color the name of administrators and have strict rules on the length and size of your signature. I'm sure everyone knows which site I'm referring to. However, they are a great community which has started the modding of all Halo games. When it comes down to the "dirty" modding they take no part. So there "upper class" members branch off to other sites and post that content there. It seems normal xbox is done, and modding 360's is not as fast as it was 2 years ago. However, technology is still being updated and theres always more things to mod. Some newer members are spamming our forum, and creating an overall disturbance. I have a general theory on how the new iBotModz will be and would like people to take part in shaping the new site. iBotModz IPB 3.0 will use "Hide Hack"This feature allows multiple things.You must reply to this topic to see the postYou must reply to this topic to access linksYou must reply to this topic to access Downloads/PicturesYou must be in "this usergroup" to see this postYou must have <5 to get into this topicI see the down fall of most forums is un-organize content posted and then stolen and posted on another site. Image watermark programs will take place of instantly watermarking all images uploaded to this site. This feature of Hide Hack will allow members to post content and hide to other members till they post or what not. VIP will no longer have a post limit. It will be based solely on who we want in there. VIP then can only see VIP topics. So say Heres an exampleHeres Halo 4 SoundtrackFilefront LinkiBotModz VIP Direct LinkiBotModz VIP Direct Link will be only be to VIP or above members. This makes the VIP section not just contained within a little forum. Forums are being mass re-done. Heres the general overview. Halo Series (consist of 1,2,3 Modding sections w/ help and mod showoff)Xbox Consoles (Consist of support, apps, tuts, Gamesave section)Other Consoles (A breif overview of other consoles, this will include roms and emulators)Tech Lab (Same as now, with minor changes)GFX (no changes)VIP (remove VIP talk)Lobby (no changes) Also with the inclusion of roms and emulators all related DL links must be uploaded to a 3rd party site (such as MediaFire, RapidShare or FileFront) With the addition of the gamesave section that will require a Legendary Member rank (more details on that latter) You will start as Memberthen Heroic memberthen Legendarythen Mythic member (exactly like bnet)(I will need someone to make user bars for those) This powers change nothing on how you see the forum, except the features you get such as avatar, sig, similes, upload limit, access to gamesaves Please give some insight on what features you want this site to become, or what you want to not become. 1
iBotPeaches Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 how u get vip? Haven't thought that far. Also, all banned members will be unbanned on the switch. I believe in second chances unlike Bungie who bans wrong people.
trevx64 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 it sounds awesome and yeah bungie doesnt give second chances because there already at risk of nudity on screenshots by 1000's of people it does suck though i wish there was only 10- modders its not exciting anymore =p
Dark Slipstream Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I got a few questions.. 1) Who are Global / Admin User's and what new abilities?2) Do GFX / Global and up get Mythic? - I already know lots of ppl that will vote me into it. (It's not based on posts, since this is probably will link with the VIP section)3) May I help you re-organize / remake some forums? ** When does IPB 3.0 come out.
iBotPeaches Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 1. As of now staff stays the same, IPB 3 uses a new type of forum moderation, an ACP, MCP, UCP (Admin CP, Moderator CP, User CP)Based on that I can give powers where powers are needed, so more powers in other words. 2. Anyone who is a staff gets Mythic It should only though display your staff userbar as staff userbar takes role over member userbar 3. Once the transfer is complete and I remake the forums, I will need a team of about 5 guys to just mass delete anything that is bad, off topic, or just dumb, then we can work from there, so yes. **They said "No latter than Dec 31", but BETA starts next week, so if no major bugs then probably late October. They are aiming for mid November.
xXxStevenxXx Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Well Peaches if you ever need any help Ill be here and I have you added on msn so if u need any other help ill be glad to help
Sub Zero Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I have two questions 1) How will one achieve V.I.P. with the new host? will it be a vote in or post limit 2) Will those who already are V.I.P. remain V.I.P.?
iBotPeaches Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 1. We've yet to figure that out.2. If your VIP now, you will remain VIP UNLESS you were inactive for 30 days.
Sub Zero Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 okay, sounds good. sorry if this looks like spam
SmokiestGrunl Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I can't wait for IPB 3 now. MCP is a good addition unlike the current non-existing one. Also the water marking is going to be like the ones on your tutorials right?
SpanishGamer911 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Hmmm When you said you needed user bars? did you mean these?http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/style_images/1/folder_team_icons/member.png Or These? http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii71/puertoricanhell/SG911-1.png Cus i would like to help
L337 Box Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I think there should probably be something below Heroic , so Heroic 100+ Posts Legendary 200+ Posts Mythic 500+ Posts, or somewhere around there
.MeLo♥ Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Haven't thought that far. Also, all banned members will be unbanned on the switch. I believe in second chances unlike Bungie who bans wrong people. Well then can i have my sub admin back if you believe in second chances? Also i think this will actually work to make this forum more mature, Im glad your finally deciding on doing something, You have gained all respect back sir, well done
StevenSVE♥ Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 U better be gaining respect or they'll be someone that will be gaining some Slaps. lol,
.Slack♠ Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Pretty cool update, what are the requirements of the ranks? (Legendary, Mythic, Heroic etc.)
Slidell Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Well then can i have my sub admin back if you believe in second chances? Also i think this will actually work to make this forum more mature, Im glad your finally deciding on doing something, You have gained all respect back sir, well done lol he has a point and will the vips be reset back to regular members abd i think all the other changes will be good less spam or maybey more spam idk who knows Edited October 5, 2008 by GMOF Slidell♥

Curtis Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Nice. I can't wait till this site get's started. Wow has it ever died. I honestly don't know how to bring members here.
iBotPeaches Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 Wall..of....words.....some...one...sum....up....please It means the site is being shut down, and we recommend moving sites. Read it next time, or don't tell me you didn't read it. The requirements for Member, Heroic, Legendary, Mythic. Have strange requirements. You get Heroic just for visiting all forums, and using features and stuff. If that makes sense.

Decatur Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I'm all for IPB 3.0.0 But I dont like the idea of coasting until it comes out. I know its a waste of time, but it really means alot to us the things that have disapeared I loved the arcade and had 15k points. etc etc
