  it's not specifically for high scores, if you beat 5 more official levels in rt, it will say "improved Rolling Turtle score by 400" or if you replay a level and get 1 point better, it will say "improved rt score by 1"

  I suck at getting high scores, so no :/
joe45 14 years ago
  Both suggestions sound great!
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  what if its only updated once per hour? If you improve your score by 1 then 4 then 100, then 23, then 2, it will show "Improved Rolling turtle score by 130"
Im only talking about oficial levels though, on the high score list.
gamelover101 14 years ago
  I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, what if you play loads of new levels at one time? It would just overload the logs!
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  I have an idea!

If you improve your score on a level, on your logs it should show things like "Improved Ringmania score by 800 points!"
gamelover101 14 years ago
  Yeah. I get it :_

  Forgot about that one, but I like it too :)

  Quoting allyally from Site updates
I have a suggestion, when a new level is posted on the front page, have it show the rating of the level.

  There's only one thing to do! Call Chuck Norris!

Or ask JP

  Still, I like the removal of Message too short and Own descriptions for lvls. :/
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  You guys got me convinced :) Back in the good ol' days, it would've ruined everything, but be worth it if the community could stand against it. Now? It would just ruin everything :/

  My opinion for premium accounts: NO.
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  i realy dont like the idea of paying to be better then someone else. No matter what websight i go to, i'll never pay for premium/membor acounts.
gamelover101 14 years ago
  I'm not going to pay...
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  I don't just want to pay money, I want to pay money, yet still gain something from it :/
Actually, I think I would have donated back when the website was a lot more active, but now? Not really :/
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  If you want to pay money so badly, why not just donate money to jp???

I rather have more advertisements, or my sugestion below...
And you should seriusly have a "donate button" on the bottem of the page, jp.

  Or make the removal of "Message too short" a premium feature (Yearh, I really, really want this premium feature xD)
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  No premium acounts! Read what elizea said when the subject was first brought up.

  other thing for possible premium:
signature
A list of favourite levels



For egneral: the message too short thing is mostly aimed at new members, but are anoying at older ones that won't abuse it anyway, would it be nice to have it removed along with the limitations when the member has stayed longer than 1 month on BL and has made minimum 1 accepted level ?

  Well, personally I would rather pay €10, then have advertisements in my levels. Beside, it would probably be very hard to find advertisers who even wants to invest in a community with very few active members.

In my opinion, it would be better to just simply implement a Google AdSense box in the games. This wouldn't give the level creator money (Which only would've been like 1/100 of a dollar anyway) but would give JP a fair amount of extra money. That is, if you had to implement ads in the levels.

What I would want as premium features:

-A colored name (Yeah for rainbow forum) and a small icon beside your name
-Some kind of "annotation" in your levels. Either at the levels thumbnail/name, or somewhere in the actual game area
-Force save score, even though the level reached max amount of scores
-Description on own levels FTW
-And... Erhm.. Some other stuff.

  @SD, that's not worth £10.
Full stop.
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  My idea would require bank info, but thats what paypal is good for, you can transfer money without giving away your bank info.

  Maybe with premium, there will be no ads.

There's a game called Ball Dodge on iPhone and when you buy the premium version, the advertisements disappear.
gamelover101 14 years ago
  More ads? *groan*
But also, isn't that going to require things like bank account details?
Hexicube 14 years ago
  not a half bad idea...
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  No! i rather have more advertisements.

How about an "endorse product" option, in which Both Jp and you get paid money.
The concept is like billboards in your level. A company will pay to have their product advertised in a level.
There will be a page of products looking for endorsements. After you upload a lvl, you may click the "endorse product" option, and be sent to this page. Your level will turn orange. You may select 3 products you may like to endorse, After an admin aproves your lvl (but not accepted yet), These product companies will then be emailed a link to your level. If they like the lvl, then they can add a yellow box where they want the advertisement in your lvl through their special editor (they cant change anything else).
It is then the lvl makers job to fill these boxes with advertisements of that company/product the way they like. After the company aproves, they pay jp for each advertisement (more or less depending on size) and the lvl creator gets a percentage of this money. The lvl is then accepted.

But this is only for games like rt, jg, or hp.

  I like the premium idea, even though it seems as a small reward. Something such as a golden name or border around your avatar would be enough to just make it good enough for the €10.
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Yah, but i rather have a picture then text, Plus the picture could still be text, just alot fancier Text.
