I know the FSBox is fine as it it but its kinda getting annoying to refresh everytime to see whats message there is. So why not we make this FSBox somewhat like SESlayer Log where we see all message that has been posted.

Here is the structure :

[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]

[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]

[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]

[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][] [][][] [][][] [][][]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 <----- if there is more then 16 messages in game a second page will be available to see it.

Each message consist of :

1- Player's Name
2- Player's Message
3- Timer remaining before it expires
4- A report button under the message if the player is breaking the rules




What you all think of this version of FSBox ?

The reason the box lasts an hour is because your message won't always be visible... with the shoutbox, you can loose your msg after 1 min even if it is active...

Thing is... only change I'd like to see the the FS box, is the ability to delete your messages... time stamp... and report button...

I don't agree with it. The reason the FSBox is how it is now, is because that's how the devs wanted it. They didn'tc want to introduce a second ShoutBox. They made it so you have a chance of your message appearing for 1 hour. This would just be a larger copy of the SB.

And that is my point of this, rather then each click to see new message wouldn't you want to see all posted message in a separate page ? Which of these 2 is easier for you, message-per-click/refresh or separate page-all message ?

The way it is now, creates two different systems of advertising. In one way, you can post up your mesage in the SB, and hope it will stay up for long. The other way, the FSBox, you can post up your message for an hour, but it won't be up for everyone to see 100% of the time.

By introducing your idea, it would mean the FSBox will be a combination of both. It would make it superior to the SB.

Yes thats what i mean. Just imagine this this idea is added and the cows removed the 2 current FSBox and ShoutBox. What will your opinion on the new ShoutBox be ? Will it be better or worse ?

I would personally say that it would make it worse. I like the system that is in use currently, with both the FSBox and the SB. I like that you take a chance and guess which "Box" will bring you more attention. With your idea, it wouldn't be much of a guess-- Pay 1 FSP and you'll have your message up for an hour, 100% of the time.

As of now, I see no reason to adjust the FS box, other than a report button.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

As stated before the only things I'ld like to see added would be a time stamp, so you know when the message was posted, a delete option, and MAYBE a repost option...

One other option I'ld love to see that would be killer, that people on your ignore list, messages they put in the FSBox won't show up for you, it just skips them and goes to the next person. If no people are in the FSBox that are not on your ignore list it just shows no message.
