Had a crazy idea regarding our regular users.
« on: August 25, 2006, 12:14:21 pm »
I was looking at the Who's Online under the Shoutbox, and it says there's a hidden user. I went "Hey, a hidden character", and it struck me. Would it be possible to somehow turn the regular members/users into "characters", the way the admin is Speaker of the House and mods are Chief Representatives?

Bravery is better than a faint heart for a man seeking to put his nose out of doors. My fate and the number of my days has already been decided.

Awesome. Is it something we'd want to do though?

Cool. Yeah,and we'd have a characters list instead of a members list. PLEASE SELECT OF A CHARACTER.

I think it would lead to confusion since people would then have to think about the dintinction between characters and members.

What we could do is rename the regular users usergroup to character or something similiar.  That'd be much easier and more practical than changing each instance of the word 'member'.

I noticed the word "character" has been added to our custom titles lately...  was this what you guys were talking about??

Yes.  Though it looks like when combined with a custom title, it sounds all the more fitting.

Like for example, under your username it says "The Adamant Bakunyuu-Baka Character".

Ya know, I thought there would be something more to this than just having the word "Character" added to our custom titles.  Is there a character list somewhere like ROMate suggested?

Possibly. I'm just called character, I haven't gotten a name for myself yet.
