1. How about that Neopets species revamp Better/Worse polls thing I brought up before?
I plan to do this. Might be in place later today if it's straightforward.
2. What about people to comment on the new Subeta colours like ooga, EofS and Daisy do now? I don't know if this is really all that necessary or if anyone would do it but I thought it could make the Subeta section have something more.
I don't know if it'll really work - Subeta can't even sustain a New Colours forum, so I'm not sure if there's much to say about the colours.
3. I would love you forever if we had the color comments system back, the one where we rated pet colors and added our comments. That was awesome. xD;;
It seems a bit pointless to add this while we don't have the version of the images which are actually available on Neopets itself. I mean, you can say "I hate colour A" and give it 1/10, but chances are you can't actually paint your pet that anyway. And I would definitely, definitely not allow comments, because those are hell to moderate (I bet Joeno didn't bother; he certainly didn't bother moderating the height-weight data. I was doing that).
4. Also, it would be really cool if you made it possible for the Subeta part of the site, too.
This, however, I'm considering, given that there isn't the same problem with the images being out of date.
5. I don't know if there are sites out there that have this already (I'm not always brave enough to trudge through bigger fansites), but I would love a list of all the possible shopkeepers. Neopets' way of choosing them is handy if one is looking for a theme, but it's no longer possible to see all of them in one list...andI have a vague suspeicion there might even be some hidden now because of it...then again for the same reason, those would be inaccessible to use.
What will you actually do with the great big long list? Do people want a page which simply displays ~2000 images at a time? I suspect this isn't difficult to add, it's just that I can't really see the point in doing it. The reason why Sam had it was because he allowed searches on them, and Neopets now does that itself.
6. I still miss the old item feature, where you could search any item and its description, which it took from the Trading Post. But I'm not sure if we want bots like that, which are questionably legal, and I wouldn't know where to begin coding it.
Yeah, I know Sam got frozen for use of bots, and I don't want to risk it.
7. Also, height and weight stuff? I believe the stuff was lost, though the data is probably still on the forums somewhere. It'd be nice to recover that page, though I recall it frequently being riddled with false data that we might not want to keep the "Add your own pet!" stuff, which theoretically makes it easier to code too.
There's still the height page ("Pet Sizes"), and I could consider adding weight by the same methods I used to populate the height page. I'm not going back to the "add your own" method, because I hated having to get rid of all the fake data. There isn't actually much of a variation in height for each species, and I'd guess weight is the same. The data we used before is irrevocably lost thanks to two things: I deleted the forum version years ago, and Joeno deleted the db version in his hissy fit.
8. I'd also like to suggest the site theme graphics- especially the sets of images that appear in the bottom right hand corner. There are lots of nice pet graphics there which could be useful for making pet lookups and so on.
Do you mean adding the graphics used on the new equivalent of sidebar themes? The main problem is that I can't collect these on my own because I don't have all the sidebars. I'd quite like to create a page which lets you test-drive the available themes, I'm just not sure how to get the images. (I'm missing, at the very least, the Winter, Premium and Hoban themes.)
