[quote] Something like that. And by "Character", I mean that I'd like to implement first-class support for a character system. Some way to create/manage characters (or create them ad-hoc per roleplay), switch between them during a roleplay, annotate them during the roleplay (like the GM can edit a character's status to indicate that the character has a broken leg), and kill them off (just from the roleplay).[/quote]
[b]No support.[/b] It overcomplicates things and may not support some players' particular writing habits. I generally like to play up to a several characters at once in a manner that would make the proposed switching a pain and use a multitude of NPCs; similarly, I prefer character death to be negotiated between players. Not even GM should be able to godmod except for in cases of unresolvable disputes. And GM should certainly [b]not [/b] be able to touch anything on a player's sheet. If GMside rulings are pushed, they should be strictly separate from anything the player has come up with. 

[quote]Hide or remove the posts of non-playing players (for players that have left/been removed from the RP, the ability to remove (or just hide if you want to reserve deletion power to mods) posts that disturb the RP's flow would be useful.[/quote]
Also [b]no.[/b] I am *very* against anything that means that any of my posts could disappear randomly just because someone decided they don't like me anymore. If someone is causing actual trouble and insulting people, only then should mods be called and removal be applied - and personally I do prefer hiding just to avoid and solve later disputes. Both players who ask to go over the situation *and* unjust mods [b]will [/b] happen on site of any noteworthy size. 

Edit: Looks like tags will trim all leading and trailing spaces. In forums, this behavior is undesirable. People aren't all that accurate when they bold text and click buttons - it just means they will misalign the tags just a bit and spaces will disappear, just as happened with me here. Edit#2: In two different places...

Also, think of removing the 'Topic:', 'Convo:', etc. markers? Six tabs in a row saying "Topic:" aren't very useful in the first glance - I have to either hover over them for a second or two or click on them to see what they are. "Mahz's...", "Welcom...", "The Pr..." would be much more useful from the standpoint of me as an user. 

I've also noticed a rather massive increase of loading times as of about two or so days ago (when loading was nigh instant), to the point where I've gotten a couple of timeouts. Might want to look into that? (I'll be busy with work for at least another week myself.) For the record, what page I am looking doesn't seem to affect the loading speed. Appears about the same for both forum views and text-heavy IC topics.
