I see your point, and I agree.  No one likes cluttered forums full of forever-long signatures, images everywhere, where the posters have accumulated about 50 random badges a piece, among things.  That's something GFAQs does well, they keep the interface, the visuals, among things, very simple.  No pictures, no clutter, no filler.

That said, I definitely prefer NWR's method:  Allowing an avatar let's users input just the right amount of personality to breed familiarity and recognition.  Requiring that pictures be of a certain size limit, and typically asking that they remain relevant, well, there isn't a much better way to do things, I think, at least, on a forum.  You get words words words, and they keep relatively relevant.  That's what I think works best.

But with the current name they really need to open a vacation spot so they can call it Nintendo World Resort.

It's on the site roadmap.  First we have to buy an island, but it's hard to find one with a gigantic skull carved into the side of a mountain.

So that's why Lindy went to the islands for vacation. Very crafty Lindy Luthor!!

Is it harder to find an island with a giant skull carved into the side of a mountain than it is to carve a giant skull into the side of an island's mountain?

Oh, I didn't say GameFAQs has a better setup than here, just that its simplicity is one thing I like about it. I like author icons because I just have to insert that random picture of Birdo, though I sometimes wish the size limit were 150x150...

Maybe that's why we've had a boost in hiring here, Lindy needs the extra hands to carve out the giant skull for his secret evil bond villain lair.

I dream of a day when all islands with mountains have skulls carved in :)

I see you fixed the Birthdays in an interesting way. The persons user name is orange when it is their Bday.

OK get onto the Search problem and Memberlist problem. Preferably the Member list.
