In that case, consider a Links tab where people can post their websites for various functionalities like the one I described. The link submissioms should be verified by you to combat spam. I'd love an aggregation of useful tools.

There are guild related things there too ^

Maybe put a restriction on post with only 2 or 3 characters.

I mean a Post with just: "no" or "yes" is not that cool tbh.

Hello,
maybe show the thread name not the link if you post a link to a other thread here:

All links that direct to different websites, should have a target='_blank' attribute.
With this attribute the user will not leave this site and instead a new tab will be opened.

Also, could you add Classicdb as a known ressource? They offer a .js script which can you use... https://classicdb.ch/?item=20769
I am not a fan of wowhead...to overloaded...

Coming next patch.

This was actually implemented before when classic.db was an http site (insecure) - what that meant is that some people with certain browsers and OS couldn’t access bchat because I was hosting scripts to ‘unsecure sites’! So I took it off.

Classicdb is now https however so I will 100% be reintroducing it this patch.

I'm not sure if that feature has been suggested yet :

I think it could be cool to have some additional social links added to our profile, things such as Twitter, Youtube or Twitch.

Could bring some more depth to the profile and give the opportunity to curious people to see what those persons are working on through those links.
Tweeked website to see what it could look like

Integrating daily/weekly "site" quests in an effort to have people drop by the site to complete them. Completing one could give you an exp boost or unlock cool avatar frames?

quest ex:

- comment on a post in forums.

- Submit a picture in Gallery

- Complete your profile.

Random ideas:

- Getting level 60 can allow you to submit your own avatar pic? or new backgound header?

- An LFG, LFM category in forums?

Hey Teebs. Was curious if you wanted to create an off-site...site. Like a sister site. This could be for Retail WoW, if you wanted to enlarge the "BarrensChat" Network.

Not at the moment but I'll be thinking about this later in the year.

Caperfin a good suggestion and one that has been made before. We trialled this with 'achievements' back in patch 1.2 or 1.3 but the overall feedback and experience with that was that people just ended up post whoring in order to get the badges. Since then I've come back to the Commendations system for contributions to the site - which reminds me I haven't given you one yet for all your guides and support here!!

A news team for BC.

A few select members to write articles for the site on updates, patches and additional information about/for Classic.

The issue with this is that it needs to be maintained and completely up to date in order to satisfy readers. News is already promulgated here by forum posts pretty quickly and then everyone can comment in the topic afterwards, whereas a blog/news type thing wouldn't be as interactive.

As for collating information about the game, I already said in patch 1.10 notes that I don't want this to be the aim of the site any more (hence the Guides section going). There are sites out there that do this job far better than I ever could!
