Suggestion time (again)

Since I love the site and would like to see it improve, I have a few suggestions.  Comments and criticism very welcome, along with suggestions of your own.

1) User messaging - So I can make stupid suggestions more privately, maybe. =P
2) Gaming account name support - It would be cool to be able to add games to your profile and show the name you use.  For example, I could add EVE and put Raskol Romanovich in a corresponding field.  Even better would be the ability to limit showing your ID's only to friends.  Even betterer would be the ability to toggle which ones to keep friends-only and which to show publicly.
3) Game map/mod support (?) - Not necessary, and a bit complicated.  Within a game's page, there could be a listing of its own levels and mods and ranking votes (maybe no comments, but just positive votes).  For example, Warcraft 3 would have a ranking for DOTA, Element TD, etc.  Halflife 2 would have CS:S, Portal, TF2, etc.  Then, I could vote for CS:S and Portal to move them up in the rankings.

  • 1 and 2 should definitely be done at some point, so I will add them to my todo list.  3 is kinda complicated, but when the site gets big enough, I will spend some time and do cool stuff like this.

    Right now, I'm trying to focus on the core of the site and improving that as much as I can before I start adding new "nice to have" features.  I'm working on a friend invite system so you can let your friends know about the site and, if they sign up, you get an achievement =)

    Gorging myself on dots and fruit was never my thing.  With Donkey Kong, I could avoid barrels, take on a hulking Gorilla, and save a princess all in a day's work.  Each level had different goals and... more

    Gorging myself on dots and fruit was never my thing.  With Donkey Kong, I could avoid barrels, take on a hulking Gorilla, and save a princess all in a day's work.  Each level had different goals and designs while Pacman was limited to walls, dots, and ghosts.

    Clearly, if Pacman were the better game, we would be playing Pacman Kart Racing and the Wii would have been released with a Pacman Galaxy title.  Looks like an easy win for the Mario family.
