Same here. I've actually set to work three times to develop something like this, but always get sidetracked -- and lose interest because I'd have to develop it alone.

I'm really quite experienced with PHP, so if you'd be developing it in that, I'd be interested in helping out, if you needed it.

Tage:
I will be developing it in PHP, and once I get a framework set up I'd be glad to let you help out. Especially the "posts since you were last here" function.  ;)

The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
I was also going to suggest moderated posts. IE, if you want to go with my first idea, where you get xp per post, then you have available a choice (only as the moderator of the forum) to assign each post a value between 0-10 or soemthing. the total xp is available in a separate place and is forum specific (so the same player could be in two different games on the same site). I'd also make it possible to hide the xp award for each post from everyone but the moderator. That would be a useful feature for me.

Sure, though I suspect I could contribute a bit more than just that. Thats a pretty simple thing to code.

I'll briefly throw out one of my own ideas for a PbPRPG forum:

One thing that I think would be important for a forum like that is Character Profiles. In other words, members sign up with ONE member ID, and then can have up to X character profiles, with independent stats, bios, pictures, signatures, inventories, and so forth. Also, it'd be cool if Character Profiles could have Alter Egos, for the purposes of Disguises, Secret Identities, etc. Alter Egos have different pictures, names, sigs, etc, but share the same stats, inventories, and backgroud info since they are technically the same person.

You could do this using an SQL table for Members, one for profiles (with an ParentMember ID column), and AlterEgos (with a ParentProfile ID column).


--- Code: ---Member 1
|-- Character Profile 1
|    |-- Alter Ego 1
|    |-- Alter Ego 2
|-- Character Profile 2
--- End code ---

Spriggan:
Ya we've talked about that in a old topic.  here if you want to see the discusion.  It would be cool if Tage codes it.
