Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback
It would be cool to be able to post videos or songs on the zone. The zone would then be almost like Facebook, but more accessible. There should be a section created so that this could be made possible. Also, this should be for premium members only.
no, it would be 2 much bandwith and plus, if you want to do that, why not just post a link on the boards to a youtube video or something
agrees with dan.
i'm not trying to sound harsh or anything, but to the original poster, don't you think you are asking for a bit much?. i've seen a few of your suggestions now and havon't you learnt when we say no not to start up again moaning?
god!
and okay, you're not the only 1... star fighter 12, and someone else posting about the blog.
what is the current craze with wanting things that just won't happen?
anyone would think you 3 are the same people... and i'm being serious!
lmaooo. wow just really put it out there, eh dan?
yeah ray, well i like to tell everyone how it is, and hmm... when you read the same sort of topics every single day, it gets very anoying. i love reading the suggestion board, but i just think some people don't know when to stop
At least the original poster had the sense to recognize that if such a feature were ever to be implemented, it should be for premiums only, unlike Darth Vader, who wants everything on this site for free.
And as far as the feature itself: great idea in theory, but I'm not sure it would work out so well in practice. Facebook has a lot more money and bandwidth to play with than the Zone does. So, I'm not against the idea, I just don't think it's probably very realistic.
and just think, some idiot would poste something coppywrited and if surtain government organizations found out well, by zone. lmao
Well, to create the bandwith, I suppose that the zone would need more money to do that, which would be a little heavy on those who can't afford it. I know this is off topic, but for Valhalla, if you can't make any mature comments about my posts, please don't say anything at all. This is getting to be annoying.
yeah right. If they did that they'd probably have to increase the shitty audio profile quality for everyone too. Dream on.
lol, it would be nice to be ble to post stuff, but i agree with everyone else. too much bandwith and all that good stuff. and like james said, there are a lot of idiots out there who does stupid things, lol. so if someone post copyrighted materials ... wa la, bye bye zone, lol
That is true. If someone could come out with something that would prevent people from uploading copyrighted things from the zone, that would be great. Obviously, it would take a while for that to come out. Otherwise, I can see where you all are coming from concerning uploading things illegally.
agree with post 11, and to post 10, ignore is there for a reason
Hi. That's why there is Klango? http://www.klango.net. They offer what the Zone has and a bunch more, even accessible games and software for download as well music and Youtube videos in one package, of course they have more servers probably than the Zone does.
Hmmmmmmm.
Sounds good but you all have a point.
Gosh drama to every board I swear! Lol!
Have you all forgotten about the <embed> HTML element? You don't need to use the Zone's bandwidth for that--each individual browser would make its own HTTP request to the external URL to play the sound or watch the video. The Zone would not need to scan all the external URL's, and if you don't like the thing you're listening to or watching, ESC stops it in IE and (most likely) Firefox.
Tyler
Um. Not everyone knows how to do that, including me.

lol Tyler. Have you forgotten that the zone does not support the embed element? You cannot use it, anywhere.
Kai
Oh really? I didn't know hitting escape stops most things from playing. Does that work on pretty much any website?
um, if hitting escape works on any website, then I could have done that a long time ago with youtube, lmfao. And roflmao Kai
No, escape does not work on every web site.
Only on imbedded players. I wish the zone would bring back that feature. lol I remember Kai's awesome profile! It's too bad we can't implement that html code anymore.
Why did the Zone get rid of support for <embed> and <bgsound>? And while we're at it, how about possibly adding support for those, along with <object> and <param>, along with maybe <applet>, <code>, <div>, <h1..6>, and <pre>?
And not to mention <script>setTimeout("playsound('s2', 'some_url')", some_timeout);</script>?
And this board is being brought back up to the top of the list because I can do it and also because I'm absolutely board. lol I was stupid when I posted this board, I'll just say that. lol I should see how much drama I can stir up when I post a board that's more stupid than this one. lol jk
It'll happen, I promise. lol.
I really wish we could do that, but...no. not possible.
YouTube is awesome!
Nah, it'll never happen on here with the crappy quality and stuff like that. lol
That's why we should allow for <embed>, <object>, and <param>, that's how we can link to external URL's which would contain better quality files, and the Zone wouldn't have to store the sound/video files. Or, we could use JavaScript to make an easy-to-use function to play sounds, always using <embed>, which could be put into the head of every page. All a user would have to do would be:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
setTimeout("playSnd(\"some_url\", \"some_id\", false)", some_timeout);
//]]>
</script>
Tyler, not everyone knows how to do all that.
Hahahaha. I'd never be able to do that if I copied it to the clipboard. lol. We might as well get the permission to code this site ourselves. lol.
That would be cool, but the thing is that not everyone knows HTML or PHP, so it wouldn't work. lol
Then people could choose to learn if they wanted to have a hand in site coding.
it would take too much band with, but here's an idea have a section in the profile that says link or other link etc and that would be where you put the link kinda like the website but separate
Maybe we should just get more bandwidth and have us premiums pay more for the bandwidth. lol jk I wouldn't want to do that, considering we already have crappy quality in our audio profiles and things like that.
Then, why not have us put the audio profile on an external site and not even bother with doing them on here? The quality's too bad on here as it is. If you want better quality, then use an external site and use that URL in place of uploading your audio prof to this site.
