I've seen both of these at different forums/sites and thought they would be cool additions here. The first is a feature from Deviant Art, the "geographical area closeness thingy". You put in your lat and long coordinates and it tells you who are the closest members. It would be cool to see how close we really are to other members here.

The other I can't remember where I saw it from. In your profile, you can view your postcount and posts per day and all that. Something I saw somewhere else was a little box that showed which forum most of your posts are from. It showed the name of the forum, amount of posts in that forum, and percentage of your total posts. It may have just been your top forum, or it was a pie chart of the top few, I can't remember. I don't know how hard that would be to implement.

And as I was typing this I thought of something else, but I don't know how great of an idea this is. On some random forum, underneath the post count was the "word count". It actually showed the amount of words you had posted. I don't know how useful this would be (but how useful is the post count really) but I think it might be cool to have.

word count/post count = spam factor?


I don't know, they sound pretty cool. Although you should try and look for the hacks somewhere so these poor folks don't have to figure out the code themselves. Another cool thing you could do with the lat/long coords is create a globe that you can spin around with dots where the WB users are, so you can see how we're spread across the earth. Just throwing ideas out there ;)

The globe would be awesome :) but if that's not possible, a map with a dot for everyone with their position set would be way cool.

Didn't we have a link to a map like that sometime ago ?
But a rotating globe would be cool :)


word count/post count = spam factor?
So like if people put in one word per post their minimum spam factor would be 100% ? Heh I guess that proves that, deep down, all of us are really spammers ;)

I don't know... I wouldn't mind seeing how my words/post count would add up... I seriously wonder at times. And expecially in the RP forum. Sure, I'll have a few posts that are strictly out of character/context, but a majority of them are lengthy... If at all possible, would there be a way to figure that out without backtracking through all my 1.5k posts +?
