I still think that a chat feed would be cool

This is because I am a nerd, and a fanboy, and everything else.

Could we add a Star Seekers faction symbol in the allegiance drop menu?

I do miss the 3rd party stuff on the news feed, and I know this conversation has been done to death. But surely the amount of 3rd-party stuff could be restricted, to, say, major updates, new figures etc. Not a million dr. wu pictures which are slightly clearer than those that proceed them.

The TFC Superion is a work of art. It's a shame that it has been consigned to a corner of the forum. I consider a piece like that to be a major watershed for Transformers, when you see how stunning the jet modes are - a technological leap if you will. EVERY fan deserves to see them on the front page.

My question is, is there really no middle ground, where some 3rd party stuff (high priority only) can be placed back on the news pages? I'm advocating a trickle, not a flood, and certainly not a return to the days when every item was 3rd party.

There's a thread for that to be discussed ...

Nevermind, this should have gone in the problem reporting thread. That and it wasnt even on this site, I had another tab open, sorry.

Noted, but then this is a thread about how to improve things on the site though right? I think the site would be improved with a small amount of 3rd party coverage (similar to your creative roundup) on the main page. Not sure if Ryan is even looking at the 3rd party discussions anymore, so how else will he see the suggestion.

Any suggestions relating to 3rd party stuff can be discussed in that thread. That's the last time I'm going to say it.

That thread seems to have mysteriously disappeared. What now?

Probably been suggested a million times before but...

Could you not get the site sponsors on board and have monthly giveaways/competitions?

Or maybe members could get/win discounts from site sponsors on purchases?

Despite the fact that sounds awesome, the sponsers probably wouldn't be comfortable with giving out free toys/coupons to only certain people. I mean it would be great to win a set of all the Hercles figures, but that would set back the company about 700 dollars
