Hopefully i have the right forum for this, but i was thinking about some things that I have seen on BYOND and some ideas came to me that could possibly be added to a future update.

The first thing I thought about was with hosting on DD. Sometimes when I am hosting the server goes down forwhatever reason (Not a BYOND problem, just my computer being weird.) When this happens the players on the server are logged off and then can log on shortly after. Alot of people dont check to see if the game is up, so they dont know if they can come back on. So they wait for a while and it kind of kills the mood of what was happening on the game. So my idea was that there be a feature in DD (If there isnt aleady) that allows you to add the players from the play tab (Logged on and not logged on) to your pager, or atleast send a messive message you all players on there letting them know that the server is back up, or what have you. I know there is a feature that allows you to message people that are already on the server. But im not sure if you can add/message people that arent on it. Which might help alot of host out. Since I dont plan on added 50 people to my pager just to ask them to come back on after the game comes back up. Lol.

The second idea I had, was about the pager itself. There is nothing wrong with it, but I was thinking about two things that might help out alittle with users. A refresh button so we can refresh users and game information(sometimes it freezes up or takes a while to give the right information) And/or possibily adding an ability to make a skin for the pager. There is nothing wrong with how it looks now. But having a cool skin to choose form and play with, might be something cool and fun that BYOND can do to spice it up.

I dont know if this has been discussed before but it seems like an interesting idea to me. So perhaps it might make its way into a future update.^_^. Im sure I'll think of something else eventually... It would be nice to know what you all think of the idea though. Lol. Or if you have any suggestions about the DD thing. That would be nice to.
I was looking over some of the other things that have been said on this forum about trying to make more things that equal out the Member benifits. I was thinking that a skin for the pager would be a perfect member benifit. Some type of premade or custom skin option for members would be something that could help equal out the benifits. But is also something interesting that might encourage people to become members. Maybe not as greatly as some of the features we could have. But, it is something that doesnt seem to have a large issue with needing to be made into a big deal by non-members, like the issue with the medals. Just something to think about.
