Upcoming Features * Updated

**Sholiz** · 07-22-2007, 05:29 AM

What do YOU want???

I've got some things in mind I'm going to add -- So here comes a poll to see what members want.

Weekly Newsletter with recent threads, interesting posts, birthdays, and more
Interactive Profiles profile enhancements, similar to Myspace, Facebook, etc.
Fully Loaded Arcade more games and better navigation?
Fully Loaded Article Database will require user contributions, but I a bodybuilding dedicated Wiki would be a great addition -- or a better article manager
Points Systems points for activity, posting, referrals, etc. to be used in conjunction with a "store" system (forum things, products maybe, discount codes, etc.)
Blogging/Journals blog system that's integrated with the forums, displaying recent blog posts in your profile
Photo Galleries in depth photo galleries
Technical Upgrades Funds would be asked to be donated and more to upgrade to a dedicated server, which would allow for faster loading aswell as image and video hosting

Considering how little he has to work with in terms of funding this site is 100x better then the bigger sites.

Well I'm going to bounce a few of my ideas out here ...

I'm thinking of starting to develop a completely new IronMass, with a blogging system for users and interactive profiles similar to IronMass. Integrate a Photo Gallery system and tie all this in together with a very user friendly layout.

Evolve the arcade to be more user friendly aswell, though that's won't be a top priority. Mostly developing a very user friendly look with tons of features, I've got a lot of ideas so I'm going to need some help.

I'll be installing a bug tracker when I start working on upgrades and short after we go live, so if you run into a problem while using the website please submit it into the tracking system so I can work to get the problems fixed.

I also want to take the plunge and upgrade to a dedicated server, right now with the very reliable and very support friendly hosting company we're at has openings for the low-end dedicated server package, but it's $70/month and I can cover most of that most months but upfront costs (I'd like to pay at least 3 months in advance, so I don't need to worry about paying for the server while working out bugs).

I'd like to hear some feedback on this, maybe if I should do things differently. I also want to know if there is anyone out there that's a coder/programmer, HTML friendly, whatever - I'll be needing some help with templates and small programming things when doing this for displaying information, I'll need as much help as I can get.

I'm also going to invite a select bunch of people to help with testing on the new site before it goes live, so keep your ears open if I drop any URL's or PM's out.

July 26th -- Got project tracker installed, which will be a way for members and myself to keep track of what needs to get done, how it's coming along, what it needs, what's slowing pace and benchmarks.
