A really big thank you for the long, detailed review. I'm start by buffing up the AI, getting rid of annoying abilities, and adding more of my story to the game. If you want, you can give my game another run through whenever. Your suggestions and comments are prized.
I'm glad you commented on the story as well. It was just going to be just general lore because few people read the story, so I'll revise it and make it more professional looking.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
