maybe i'll fixate on the one facet of my being where I am oppressed and through this I can simulate a kind of political efficacy

How about a search function that works like it was invented in the 21st century, and also on earth, and also by and for humans.

HA HA! Just kidding, we all know SA has a long standing tradition of being the only forum on the entire internet that will never have a decent search.

People on probation should be allowed to continue posting, but their posts become editable by anyone except the probated user.

I think this would improve the quality of their posts tremendously.

i have a good idea (imo) for forums revenue: avatar pets

you pay extra to make your av a special animal that you design yourself, like in those videogames where you design a character, giving her nice pretty hair and cool eyes and a tan and ripped jeans, only it's a cute pet so you choose between pupp, kitten, fishscale, hissysnake, etc

once you got the deets selected, you can choose standard pet or bonus (extra $$$) animated response pet

you put your cursor over its head to pet it and it responds by cooing at you and maybe batting at the cursor w its paws or curling up around it. you pay extra money to have a better small friend. It just makes sense.

then other ppl can pay tiny amounts (like 50¢) to give it a lil treat and in return the pet does a nice trick for them :3: it would be very cute

i could feed a tiny baby mouse to my friend nooner's snake, as for example, and it would unhinge it's jaws and eat it whole! i would pay for that.

But like all pets, it needs to eat or die. You can set up a recurring weekly debit of .99¢ or w/e to provide snakcs for your friend. Your forget about it after a while and wouldn't even notice it on your statement bc you are irresponsible with money (i'm talking of myself of course) so if you take a posting break to go to the hospital or spend some time out in the desert cleansing and getting your poo poo straighten out, you come back and your pet is ok! and you have been giving tiny bits of lifeblood to the best forums for posting with your friends that honestly I have ever seen

eventuLly this could be ramped up to include buying your pet toys or a lil hat, Halloween costume for Halloween, a sparkly bowl with their name on it for when you give it treats

Say you've taken a shine to a new poster and want to let everyone kniw "hands OfF! This one is mine!" you can buy them a pet and name it after yourself and keep them healthy and with lots of treats and presents, like a "sugar daddy" of pets, and everyone will see their pet and know it came from you and they won't gently caress around, I'm sure of it

Maybe eventually we can set it up so you can have multiple pets, a whole grumble of pugs or a lil snakepit of your own, you can scroll through them in your profile and pet them all :3:


If you want to make money, lowtax and co., heed this good suggestion.

pokégoon is a good idea, that can be an additional package, we can have regular friendly pets for nonviolent ppl like me and then cool swole trainable fighty pets also

Again the revenue from buying supplements and hormones and tiny fingerless gloves for your pets would be more than we get from spite-avs, unless I have grossly underestimated the interest in lil av pets
