We've looked into the tournament one before but there are some limitations on it and it's not real pretty. The other ones I'm not real interested in because...
Editing/Deletion- Depends on the fed and I don't think we've really had a problem with it. I suppose if somebody edited after deadline for anything beyond like grammar or coding fixes they'd job anyway?
Scavenger Hunt- We got a lot of clap-back on the discord just from the pokemon stuff popping up when folk's pokemon would level up. Now imagine that but like in rps and in the middle of a mafia game. Let's keep games user-generated for now
Prize Wheel- I mean, that's something we could consider but it's probably not needed yet. I don't see us ever using a similar thing from off-board for any purpose that'd give reason to bring on on-board
NPC Profiles- Honestly I need to read about this one more, the screen shot tells me nothing but I could see some merit depending on what it's like
Awards- I'm not sure where we'd use this or what for. I also feel like it could end up misunderstood or misused to the point where somebody felt bad (some folks got real thin skin, lol)

The edit/deletion plug in can be assigned to specific boards. When I saw it I thought about the Mafia game cause one of the rules says, do not edit your posts, and well. This plug in fixes that.

I also feel like it could end up misunderstood or misused to the point where somebody felt bad (some folks got real thin skin, lol) The NPC profiles thing is an interesting one, I've got it enabled on my test forum. I think it'd be a useful one for feds that have a bunch of specific "staff" characters such as characters who "host" segments, etc. So ( and let's use BYOB as an example here) instead of all the shows being posted by "Steele" they could actually come from "BYOB", any in-character updates, news etc could come from "Trevor" or "Skeeter" , etc, but it's all just me using a different "skin" for my account. I know that technically you could use a load of separate accounts to achieve this, but the NPC thing could be a nice way to neaten things up a bit.

I think there is a way to do it in proboards already with alters, Kanyon does it with the borgs. You can tell the difference because when Hype posts as say Rent a Hero it says from Rent a Hero on the forums on mobile and computer. The alters dont show on mobile and are more inherently linked so Kanyon shows up as Kanyon on the phone but The Borgs on computer. Ask Randy

I know another place that uses ProBoards had something where you can save hex colors so you don't have to keep going back to a list you have in your phone's notes...
That would make my life easier. LOL

The ability to schedule a post.
Rumors have it that Proboards V6 will have that feature.
As a roleplayer and Mafia Host specially, that feature would come in handy!

LOL If you go HERE you can download an "RP Toolkit", it was made by someone from FIW (a fed that Kira was very active in and I dabbled in for a bit) Basically it's an editor where you can type out your stuff in one window, and it'll turn it into BBCode in another. You can save custom shortcuts for people (so instead of typing out "Jackson Steele" every time he had a line of dialogue, I'd just type "@js:" and it would automatically expand his name, bold it and then set his dialogue to the correct colour of red. Then start up eXXXstacy's speech by typing "@ex:" and it'd put HER name in bold and switch her dialogue to pink. It's a little weird to understand at first but real easy to use once you know how. Can't say for sure if it even works for mobile devices but if you write mainly on desktop then it's great. EDIT: Just wanted to add that it appears to be safe, I've used it for three years without any issues. If anyone does want to give it a shot then I'm more than happy to give you pointers. (I've also plugged it on this forum several times over the last couple of years, so there may well be an explanation elsewhere onsite.)

The AXW crew all use that RP toolkit and have found great success!
