to start off with the old idea:
i still think that a shoutbox (sort of chatbox) on the left of the forum would be a great feature for members to chat a bit while browsing the forums or to ask a question when in dire need for help (hot deals etc)
add the option to turn off the shoutbox for ppl that dont want the blabbering and i think you got a great community bonding tool
second is sort of the same idea, but then to a bigger extent: a NA Ventrilo/teamspeak server
this would allow NA members to log on the server and voice-chat a bit with other collectors.. about their collections, questions about items, random chit-chat (different channels/rooms)
imho a great tool to kill time, have fun, help eachother and create "bonding"
so what do you guys think?
