Fed2k 2.0

[Dunenewt]

With all the talk about Web 2.0, what features could we integrate into future incarnations of Fed2k?  Whilst searching for Firefox plug-ins, I came across one which automatically posts whatever you're browsing or listening to, to a website called Twiiter.  Now if that could be adapted, so that with one click we could post what we're listening to, to the relevant thread, that would be handy.  Also, perhaps in the future we will have the ability to create our own groups, like on Facebook.  The DuneWiki is another step in the right direction, however, none of you lot seem to contribute.

There is a fed2k facebook group. And myspace group.

I'd rather just keep it simple and the same. :)

[Dunenewt]

Are you in the Facebook group?

Well, as the web changes and adapts, so should we.

Surely there's some features you'd like to see?

[D2k Sardaukar]

After 8000 posts sure the black and grey must get boring?

What about some more happy and bright colours that activate our creative side, haha.

[nemafakei]

Well, we have the gold colour.

Personally, I was always against the introduction of blue for boards with new posts. Too adventurous for me.

[Andrew]

I don't plan on joining the facebook group :)

[Dunenewt]

Why not?  Are you on Facebook?  If so, it wont be that hard to track you down and find you.

I did make quite a few different colour schemes for the old board and website.  There was Corrino, Harkonnen, Atreides, Ordos, Ixian, and Tleilaxu colour schemes.

[Andrew]

Yes I'm on facebook, but I won't be joining that group :)

I'm only in two other groups, but those are kinda pointless for me as well since I don't participate in their activities.

Yes I'm sure you could find me on facebook. Which is one of the problems I have with facebook, that any random person could find info on anyone.

Although I have my privacy settings all high.

[Dunenewt]

Yes, I changed my Facebook security settings to high last night.  Stopped anyone but me looking at my wall.

It would be nice if more people went on the Fed2k Chatroom...

I'm pretty happy with good old Fed2K 1.0 myself.

In fact, I wish more fora would print topics I've participated in in bold.

[Dunenewt]

I'm growing nostalgic for the old website :(

[exatreide]

Me too, the main page hasn't been updated in ages and the forums reverted back, I had the Atreides theme for quite some time. I miss it :(

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I think it is ok that the people on my network can look at my profile.

I'll never do that. I could join your "network" just to view your profile.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

To join my network you would  have to be a student at the university where I study.

Who wants to vote for me, or perhaps Andrew or Edric, to be allowed to post new news posts?

[Dunenewt]

Well the above happened, but I am going to start to move all the information contained on the site onto the Wiki, and I think the Wiki represents the way forward for this site, I just wish more people would help.
