Ok, so we want to know what YOU think is the best to add to patch 1.1.2 Give us your ideas, with a good lengthy description and we will decide in the staff board which would be best. IF a discussion is needed, then a new thread will be made. If members want to discuss this, make a separate thread so this one doesn't get clogged up please. Thank you, Varia Studios.
Here are the current patch notes for 1.1.2. ETA: Released Graphics and AestheticsEpic Banner Addition - What?! Another banner update? Yes, another.. this new banner update was a rather spontaneous creation, and will be very amusing.. yet useful in the future, so just wait for it. Banner Upgrade - It's been refined yet again, mainly fixing the water line & coloring, again, small changes. ( Old Banner - New Banner) New On/Offs - Slight change, but the new ones were re-designed, and are now higher quality. Coding and PrettiesNothingCommunityPages from Creativity: Issue I: We will be releasing the first issue of PoC during the next patch, it will include several articles, some written by us, and some by the community. Reputation - You heard right - We will be bringing reputation into VS during the next patch, this will establish members of the community through either resources, their quality of art work, or their personality.

Though reputation is a good idea, I'm not so sure it will bring members to the forum... In my honest opinion, we need more publicity, possibly through the posting of tutorials, ongoing contests (such as the ones you are bringing up,) and etc... Not sure that this reply exactly belongs here... and sorry if it doesn't. From what I'm reading, is the banner being upgraded in the patch, or has it already been done?

The banner has already been updated, however, everything else has not. (including the epic banner addition fore mentioned)
We can't get there all at once, this patch isn't meant to increase activity, it's meant to bring new features as a start to increasing activity.
We have several projects that need tweaking before we release them, during the next patch we look to release points, user shops, SotW, and possibly a VS blog.
And reputation is, as mentioned, for establishing members of the community, we will also give out rewards to users who obtain certain rep.
Also, I've submitted about 40 tutorials to various sites which are awaiting moderation, I imagine they'll be accepted any day now, in which time you will literally see 100 guests on at all times.

Ah, okay... I had misunderstood the part about reputation...
As for the rest of it, I'm seeing it clearer now.
As for tutorials, that'd be great.

When you add the SoTW, you should add a mod that displays the latest winner/sig, either at the top or bottom of the board/category section of the page. Like so: www.velocity-designs.com/index.phpAs for more traffic, try affiliating with non-PB sites. There are some popular ones in the affiliates of the link I posted.

Yeah, we're trying to affiliate with NSL, but they're being really difficult. <.<
And we will add the latest winner in a table of some sort when SotW is released.

National Sig League I think is what Sunjo is meaning. Nice updates, you should also try submitting your site to places such as Here.

Alright guys, this patch will (hopefully) be released later today/tonight.
We'll try to get some affiliates in after this patch is released. Feel free to PM me any sites you'd recommend we affiliate with, would be helpful.

I like the reputation idea, always nice to feel your a part of something, e.g. being a dedicated member.
