I have a few ideas what you can do to make xiha better. I am not complaining at all I love your site, but everything can be better.

First of all, the games
if you have more categories it would be easier to find a game, now with so few a person has to search through long lists. 

another thing about the games, put in a search box, if I want to find a special game it'd be easier just to type the name or part of it than reading your long lists. 

about the coins, why not giving a coin everyday someone is signing in, that would make people wanting to sign in at least once a day. 

it would also be fun with a personal coin history,  

about flowers in the blogs, now they are all sent anonymously, why not change it so people can chose to send them anonymousley or not.

Does anyone agree with me?

one more thing, at the top you have boxes with xiha life, games, photos, friends and blog, why not but a box with forum there as well??? I think the forums are a big part of xiha, and it deserves a box at the top.

Last thing... for now at least.... there are a lot of old forums, why not make some time limit on them, like if a forum hasn't got any new posts or views in a long time, delete it. maybe first give a warning to the person who created it giving him/her a chance to make it active again... it would save you some space.... what do you think???

I better stop now or you'll think I don't like anything.... but I do, a lot !!!

Thanks for your comments!
saphire: First of all, the games

Tags are meant for this. In fact, we are going to let our members enter tags for games to help categorize them any way you want. This system is ready and will be made available soon.

another thing about the games, put in a search box, if I want to find a special game it'd be easier just to type the name or part of it than reading your long lists.
Yeah, that's a good idea. You can use the Google search box in the left panel, put that is not very good at game searches.

about the coins, why not giving a coin everyday someone is signing in, that would make people wanting to sign in at least once a day.
Well, perhaps. It's a little odd to give coins just for signing in when it's actually really easy to earn them by posting things, put it might work. Perhaps it could be progressive - you get 1 coin per day for loggin in, but if you login during more than 15 days in a month, you get twice that... and quadruple it if you login every day or something. To give a reason to really try to login every day of the month.

it would also be fun with a personal coin history,
This is also coming. The history is available to admins (so we can verify there's been no cheating when coins are used for purchases) and it just needs to be nicely formatted and then it can be made available to the members, too.

about flowers in the blogs, now they are all sent anonymously, why not change it so people can chose to send them anonymousley or not.
In fact, they are not anonymous! They contain information on who sent them. This information will soon be visible, so people can check who gave them flowers (this is the way it was originally meant to be, anyway!) ... having the option to give anonymously is interesting, too.

There used to be 10 "boxes" there and in order to reduce the clutter we cut out half of them. But you are correct, it's getting quite obvious forum should be added back.

Well, this is something we don't really agree. The history is there, so that old discussions can be brought back alive. It's good to have an archive of old things. When we're 10 years old, think how fun it'll be to look back and see what happened a decade before. The space saving is not really an issue, we have plenty of it available and will get more as needed.

We have thought about putting old topics into an archive mode though, so that they would not necessarily pop back up to the main page anymore, even if someone comments on them. Bringing back the old stuff to the list of new discussions is sometimes a little confusing. smiley
7. saphire | 2008-07-1 | English

I agree with you, never thought about it that way, an archive could be good, sometimes it's fun to read old things, but it can be a bit confusing as you say when it comes up at new discusion, maybe you could write when it was created not only when someone last made a post to it. do you understand, ?? when it is in a list it sais, created by and a name, last post by a name and a date, maybe you could write a date when it was created....just an idea...And why can't a person delete his/her own forums??
8. Jani | 2008-07-1 | English
And why can't a person delete his/her own forums??

Simply because forums are for public discussion and it would be very unfair for other people if you were allowed to delete a forum that they may have contributed to. Think of having a forum with 100 replies to it from a lot of different people, and then the original author decides to pull the plug... those other people would surely feel unhappy about it. smiley

It also makes you think twice before you post something. You simply can't go out and publicly make noise about something, and then pretend it didn't happen... smiley

Blogs are for your personal talk, so you're able to post, edit and delete them as much as you like.

about the coins everyday you log in, i saw that somewhere else, but i really can't remember where, or why. it could have been some online game.. but it made me come everyday till i got tired of it,,, and obviously forgot about it...
but i like your idea of giving more if somone logs in everyday for a week/ month..


there is another thing, when editing text to forums and such, you can make it big, change size and some things, why not change color of it?? That is fun, I like writing/reading text with colors to it....

And really, I am not trying to disturb you....just have many ideas.
Give me the virtual villagers and I will leav you all alone for some days... just kidding... I will earn all those coins and trade them in...smileysome day...some how....
10. saphire | 2008-07-1 | English

you sure give answers fast !!!!
11. Webmaster | 2008-07-1 | English
Choice of color and font are coming, at some point in the nearish future. Thanks for comments, appreciated! You're helping make XIHA better for everyone. smiley
12. saphire | 2008-07-1 | English
it seems like a lot of things are coming... glad to hear that...
13. claudia | 2008-07-3 | English
I like you saphire smiley so many Ideas. What about that Chatroom? I personally still would love  to have a Chatroom here ,than people will log in more often without giving them Coins to log in. I don't really like that Idea.
I also think the old forums should not be deleted exept when nobody answered it for a long time(like some of mine) than I would not have a problem when they are gone.
I also like the Idea with changing colour of the text, nice Idea.

14. saphire | 2008-07-3 | English
Chatrooms is a nice idea aswell, I don't know how it's possible but xiha seems to be filled with just a lot of nice people, unlikely other places, so some chatrooms would be nice, I haven't entered one in years they are mostly filled with a bunch of *biiiip* that only wants to talk about one thing. So here is my idea about the chatroom, let the people make them, and post a subject it is about, and when the person hosting the chatroom leaves and noone wants to take over, close it, in that way you wont have alot of empty ones, also write before  entering how many that is inside. and who is hosting it.
15. Webmaster | 2008-07-3 | English
Chat room will happen, don't worry. The design for it is quite interesting, it'll be something very unique and special. smiley But there are other things that need to be done first...
16. saphire | 2008-07-3 | English
YAY, xiha is so good and getting better, can't wait to see your unique and special designs for chatrooms.....
17. saphire | 2008-07-3 | English

Just for fun, how many members are there at xiha? active members?
couldn't you have like a small box somewhere saying how many who are online at the moment??
18. Jani | 2008-07-3 | English
The online visitors display will be added together with the chat system, as those kind of go hand in hand.
19. saphire | 2008-07-3 | English
you have allready thought about everything, haven't you???
20. Jani | 2008-07-4 | English
smiley
21. claudia | 2008-07-4 | English
I am patient smiley at least i try, i'm also looking forward to the design of them,
22. saphire | 2008-07-4 | English
when are they coming?? Do you have any idea when they'll be ready??
23. Jani | 2008-07-4 | English
All in due time. We just added the Gold Member challenge (did you try it out yet?) and next week we will launch XIHA Music and the week after that a new photo albums system...
24. saphire | 2008-07-4 | English
I saw the gold challenge same time as you added it, I was online at that moment... and many more... Yay Music :D:D:D:D:D
I didn't even think about that, have you seen the coolmusiczone.com ??
It is a daughter site to pz10.com which is a site with indian music, the coolmusic zone is western music, almost all popular and some old albums are there free to listen...
25. saphire | 2008-07-4 | English
changing subject, the tags you have on the games they aren't really that good, some are but some are just weird, and it's not the easiest to read that tag page. go and look at spelo.se and you'll see a good way of organizing games.
26. saphire | 2008-07-5 | English
are you coming out with Xiha videos aswell???
27. saphire | 2008-07-7 | English
Nice to see the forum up there !!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
28. saphire | 2008-07-15 | English

when is the music coming.........??
