Premium sellers..you guys have a specific place for this...please share your thoughts there


Also we will be looking into making the forum much more "flatter" , so things are easily accessible and you dont have to click many times

now any suggestions for color themes and the look of the place.

Also like @eViLrAcEr said...FORGOT about the server..we are getting top-of-line our own.

and the front page is built upon one of the most expensive and featureful themes of wp ...which has to be setup properly...and there is something pretty cool in the works for PG...which I haven't seen done before anywhere else personally

I mostly post in the tech department so I'll give my input on it. I think it really needs to be "cleaned up" as there are way too many forums and subforums for it.

The Hardware Zone should be merged as one as there simply isn't enough traffic to justify divisions on such trivial differences. This way the whole forum will look more lively and active which will benefit all. Stickies are way better to serve specific purposes. The Tech Newsroom should also be merged into one unified PC hardware forum.

The Software Den should also be merged and the description of the new forum can be something like "PC hardware and discussion" so it emcompasses software as well. There is really not a big enough PC community here to justify so many sub-forums.

The other 3 forums in the Tech Department have their purpose so they can be retained. I also think it's pretty ridiculous to have an entire forum dedicated to fighting games. :p

I have literally no issues with how the forum looks and I am rather reluctant about forum look changes. It's always an unpleasant experience.

Thank you..what you said is valuable and I agree to some extent.

dont worry, we wont completely overhaul how forum looks, just minor tweaks..and also with respect to structure we will definitely look into improving the overall experience. Our mods and s.vs will need your help though in maintaining the hardware section as some major changes need to happen there...please do help them.

Who will deal with the frauds associated with it?

We used to have this allowed earlier on but had to stop because our awaam is generally too 'bhooki' to do things legitimately...

Bro 1st u guys need categorize the forum sections with the most viewed and followed..
this was u guys will know which section is the most used section like market place as we all know..
need to have a very spot on check for the market place ppl..
and yes software and hardware section should be kept as one..
coz its better that way......
We need to have a better control panel for managing our inbox and sent items...
it should be a clear drop down menu....with the name....and yes we should have our own picture uploading area....
this really needs to be looked into..
and the forum searching criteria i think is the worst on pg...
u cant find any specicfic post...
its just horrible there....
soo these are some concerns from my end...
and yes there should be a live chat box...
for every section......
in which memebers only can view how many members are online viewing the thread..
and so can have an open discussion....
hope im elaborating fine :)

definitely needs a cosmetic overhaul. i know all the oldies will be deep in the member berries (south park reference) but we need to get with the times yo.

but theme should definitely remain black orange cause that like the trademark for pg.

forums need a bit or restructuring as in i think that some subcategories are unnecessary and can easily be merged with other other subcats.

also i think some categories need to have dedicated member to that categories made incharge so they have make those categories alive again like the dev section. hardly gets a post.


also you guys need to give some member devs access to the server so they can contribute to making positive changes or building api and creating apps.

i'll let you know more when i think of them

I would like to see Achievements for Buyer/Seller too.. like for instance if anyone reaches first 50 TS 100% should receive an Achievements and on 100 TS 100% should also get another like... Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond etc. :D

Themes might be good too, Also the Image Previews needs to be improved and it shouldn't load the actual pictures instead it should just show the small preview. Also not many ImageUploading websites are supported.

My Suggestion : Thread limits

http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f31/thread-limits-premium-normal-members-246446/

And The Forum looks Typical to me.. So i always use TapaTalk...
So make it Simpler and make usable options more accessible..

LIKE :

Simpler how?

About searching for WTB threads. You can do that you know.

Search Forums - Pakistan's Gamers Community

Select MARKETPLACE in the Search in Forum(s): category, then, select WTB in Search by prefix:. Enter your keywords to search for, in the field above these.

I would like to see Achievements for Buyer/Seller too.. like for instance if anyone reaches first 50 TS 100% should receive an Achievements and on 100 TS 100% should also get another like... Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond etc. :D

We already have an achievement for 100% positive TS.

Picture system will be overhauled. You wont need image uploading websites anymore as we will be shifting to a new server.

Keep the design minimal, mostly flat with contrasting colors.

Icons, like the ones for PC Hub, Xbox Hub are mostly black on a gray-black background which doesn't look good.

Remove "Activity Stream" from the right hand side of the screen. It looks cluttered and offers almost the same functionality as "Latest Posts" at the bottom of the main forum page.

Overall the forum looks a bit cluttered with the current theme. I am willing to see some minimal designs for this forum, because as of right now, the design feels very '2012-ish'.

Apart from this, the recent steps the admins have taken have been excellent. I can definitely see the fresh motivation to improve this forum :)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
