Let's see we need moar:

Sharks , Colette and RetroforceGo!

yeah it doesn't have anything to do with what you asked for but that's what I want Destructoid to do better for me.

DO EET!

Maybe a little tweaks in the friend's update section would be nice , sometimes it doesn't want to show friends we are following. BeverlyNoelle blog's being one of them. Took me months also to have a Genki friend update.

also , how's Frisko?

If I can get that iPhone app, that would make me happy :)

I'd appreciate it if instead of breaking up interviews into multiple posts, you just put the whole thing in one post. It's too easy to miss a part of the interview because it was chopped up into half a dozen pieces and posted throughout hte day.

Stop being so awesome :3

You need to have a Big Rigs Racing Tournament. The first person who can get their truck over the finish line without their machine crashing wins.

When I say vote down I mean for the C-Blogs

Gah double post sorry

A way to edit our comments would be much appreciated.

dunno if i'm in the minority here, but i liked the comment tracker better the way it used to be. now it's almost overwhelming at times, especially if you've commented on a story that subsequently becomes mega popular, and the rest get lost.

That's triple FalconRapist maybe trying to make the community much more cohesive since we kind of are divided there are those who use c-blogs only, others just the forums, and others use IRC. If you guys cold somehow make it so people use the other features or make them more accessible I think that would make Dtoid even better.

Um.. don't change, I love you just the way you are. :D

I just came here to see Kauza giving head to seagulls. Needless to say I'm very disappointed.

And 'edit comment' button would sound great at first but it could also destroy every single comment replying to that one edited comment. I don't really like that. Just check what you've written, think about it for a while before you set your brainfarts loose on the community.

What would be great is what Xzyliac said (and many others before) about posting Blogs.

Rev Ant needs to write more long articles like he used to, Chad needs to post more and how about some funny (read: hilarious) videos involving the Dtoid editors. Remember the funny stuff you did back in the day Hamza, remember when you and Husky would post it on the front page for us to see and laugh with you about it? NEVAR FORGET! Remember the wolves, the hair, the sharks, all of it!

</rant about the what I miss from the old days>

Also more community participation would be cool, give the community a project to work on if they chose to (like the Art project for the third birthday).

You guys are doing a good job with the updates as it is. I see that the different blog categories on the left side of the Community Blog page still don't work. That needs fixing.

My main complaint is not being able to fap a C-Blog while using my Opera browser, but I agree with the down-voting option as well.

I think we all miss RFGO!

Online gaming:
Gaming online with other Dtoid members is a real bonding experience... both with each other and to the site itself. I would love to see the Friday Night Fights expanding beyond Friday nights. It would be great if the Meet up and Play section was changed to include a forum and a calendar. People could add a game to the calendar and a link to the forum thread discussing the details. This way I could simply pull up the calendar and see that on Thursday night several people are playing Burnout and several others plan on playing MAG - details on how to join the game would be available. The calendar should have a simple sort function by console (people would have to tag their calendar entries by console as well). More and more games are including online - I think this would be a forward thinking feature for the website.
Meh... however you do it, the Meet up and Play is just much too restrictive and doesn't really work all that well.

Forums:
In all honesty I find the forums intimidating as many of the threads are HUGE! Playing catch up is a impossibility. I honestly don't know how to make the forums more functional, but I think that having a little more freedom in creating new threads might make things easier. Maybe there needs to be more categories, but right now it seems that you have to hang out there for quite awhile to get the hang of how to use the forums.

Female-friendly:
I say this only based on feedback from others... but this site has a reputation of being a "guy's site". I don't personally find this to be the case, but then again, I play COD online with a mic, so apparently I have a pretty high tolerance level. Possibly a bit less use of half dressed women as article headers might be a thought, especially when the half dressed woman has little to do with the article content. I've referred this site to various friends, but some have outright said that the site seems "anti-female" and offensive (the "fap" voting system particularly seems to irritate some women). I'm certainly not advocating any major changes like a pink background or hearts and teddybears... but maybe a little restraint on the college humour of half nekked girls might be beneficial given the huge growth in female gamers (the largest upcoming gamer demographic). I almost hate to say this... but maybe more articles on casual games might also be helpful - not a lot of articles... but maybe a few.
Meh... I like the site as it is, but I'll pass along the feedback I've heard from others.


Oh, and as a final thought, I came across a thread on my old site (GAP) that complained that Destructoid is 360 biased... because if you click the PS3 articles link, almost every article for a cross platform game ends with a link for "More Xbox 360 stories". Silly... but for some people it seems to indicate either lazy programming that it doesn't read "More PS3 stories" or just a bias that 360 is the favored platform for the site (some people really are a bit fanboyish, but this does seem like an easy fix)


Again... a lot of this is feedback I've heard, not personal feedback, but possibly it's better to hear about why people won't join the site, rather than the feedback of those of us that currently love Destructoid! Myself, I love the site and would just like to see some kind of "meet up and play" system that is easier to use because I really do enjoy online gaming with Dtoid peoples! :)

(oh... and train of thought, one other thing that would be nice is a condensed view on our personal blog roll... especially for those of us that tend to write really long blogs!)

I think the Fap system is perfect. No need to vote any other way. Negative voting sucks ass. The best 'negative vote' is not commenting and not fapping. That's it. Or you could tell somebody why they suck. Constructive comments work way better than saying 'This sucks'. A voting down button would make only make that easier. Not good.

Also Also Also more Stella Wong if possible she is magnifico~~

In b4 "get rid of Sterling".

Also, promoting the Cblog Recaps to the front page.

Yes, I am a recapper, what of it?

Also also, and this might be a bit of a stretch, but I'd like to see another Monthly Musing topic go up every month, or something similar; basically another reason for people to discuss things as a community in the Cblogs.

Numero uno: The ability to edit our posts.

Number 2: More of the Dtoid videos on the Dtoid youtube page, it's easier for linking to friends.

Number 3: Blog drafts, I know that's the number one thing that's putting me off blogging for the first time. Have to copy pasta from Wordpad/MS Word, while only a minor inconvenience, is still off putting.

Nummer vier: What Devore said.

@Elsa

While I can't do much about how huge the threads are, I will say that the two biggest (pictures and bar) only really require reading the last couple pages as they move fast (bar) or are mostly pictures (pictures)

As for freedom to start new threads, people are free to start whatever threads they like, provided they are..discussion topics. We just did a overhaul of the forum sections to make them more organized and upfront about what's in them.

As for learning to use the forums I have a posting guide to explain what the sections are about and what you can find there. Other then that, it's just simply posting and participating.

Hope that helps!

An Android app (and, I guess iPhone as well). It could somehow use LESS bandwidth than the mobile site, allow viewing videos (Hello, Senor Beedog!), streaming podcasts, typing up C-Blogs...

Failing that, access to Dtoid main from Dtoid mobile.

@Technophile... again, it's just general feedback and I'm able to now follow threads of interest to me (MAG, FNF, etc), but the forums just seem very different from other forum sites. I'm quite used to participating on forums, but it took me a long time before I was able to dive in and start participating on Dtoid and that was only because I was able to catch threads as they were started.

Again, just providing some honest feedback. Unfortunately, no answers... but just trying to be honest in saying that they seem intimidating and a bit confusing, even for someone pretty comfortable with forums in general.

Meh... maybe it's just me!
