    For the most part, we see numerous suggestions in this area...some are good, some are lame..as are many of my responses;)

    But as I have been thinking of the request I sent to WGT...I have sorta gone another route.

     

    My suggestion? 

    Well I'd like to see a new forum made where only WGT can post a topic (yes, let us respond).

    This way we know the question (such as the MP disconnect Q) was asked by WGT and they want our feedback.

    I think it would be a great feature to have here (Just WGT polling us) and let them view our responses.

    In fact if this board was upgraded. a polling feature would be here...but small steps first:)

    It's a good idea and we tried something similar few weeks ago and if you remember, it broke 1/2 the forum, LOL.

    I think they are thinking about something similar, so we'll see what happens:)

    Agreed, I also think voting topics could be added in the WGTstaff only forum. For example: Vote for the next Avatar., Vote for the next Ready-Gos, and etc.

    The coding for a newly formatted Forum is quite easy. Trying to make this forum platform do what other forums do would be a waste of time and money. WGT would be better off doing away with this forum altogether and starting a new one from scratch and then just transfer over the old Threads. Moving the really old threads to an Archive on a new forum would be adviseable.

    I am certain you have guys working for you who know how to create a forum with all the beslls and whistles , if you didnt you would not have this awesome game.

    Erm, not for nothing, MB, but what makes you think them listening there is going to be any different than them listening here, or in a real time chat? Seems what players have asked for has fallen on deaf ears as it is. Witness the replacement (whatever you want to call it) for the BO. 

    Listening isn't the problem here. Hearing is.

    What it would be Jim is a place where WGT would be asking our thoughts on their suggestions..at first glance I was going to skip over the "MP Disconnect" thread...figuring it was just another rant.

    Stands to reason (IMO) if WGT is asking for input we'd have an inkling as to what they are trying to do

    It sure is. I mean lets keep this whole thing in perspective......."OK lets update some features guys ..woohooo yeah ok bring the site down now update...(we havent tested it yet) so what....update button click.....Ohh darn we broke something ...so what they got what they wanted they didnt say we couldnt break anything ......NOW SILENCE ! It was design issue."

     

    HELL YEAH I AM MAD. Adding new features is great and all but at the expense of ruining other features?

    I know its BETA but even BETA program s need to be tested before it is added to the main programming to make sure it will work. Then recheck everything else to make sure. And when you certain it works ...Recheck it again.

    WGT dont rush features out the door just because... EA did that with their golf sims and nearly destroyed the online community. They are still paying for that huge error.

    I... have no idea what the hell you just said. That was all garbled rambling to me.
