What Do You Want to See?

Hello IGZ. We, the staff, have been thinking about ideas to improve the site and we'd like to know what you think. You guys are the reason IGZ is what it is and we'd like to know your opinions too, so here we are.


Now we want you, the community, to post all your Ideas, thoughts, or feelings about ways to improve the site for you, but keep this in mind:
  • Number each idea separately so we can read them easily.
  • Make it clear what the idea is and how it can improve the site.
  • Please don't shoot down other peoples ideas, and keep the rules in mind.
  • Don't post any unrealistic ideas. We can't magically make people start coming to the site to promote your idea.

Breaking any of these will result in an infraction.

~IGZ Staff

1. IMO some of the older, less used forums (IE Halo CE, Halo 2, etc) can be merged to condense the layout.
2. More contests (posting contests, SOTWs, etc). Could yield some activity.
3. Complex wants his VIP back, he told me so.
4. Some usergroups seem unnecessary (GFX team primarily).
5. Points/shop perhaps (like Se7enSins had, only better).

That be it girlfran.

PM me for the Youtube Channel info.

Back to some suggestions:

- Maybe trying to get a partnership/sponsorship with a site. Example, a modding controller site.
- Clean up the forums. Get rid of/merge unused forums.

I will post some more when I think of some. And more lottos will definitely be coming from me, sorry for the absence of them.

1. Gamertag/gamerscore tracking system, once you post your gamertag a system looks it up and grabs a gamercard to be used in a gamertag look up system.

2. Some adverts to gain some more activity besides the regulars.

3. Bring back DOTW and things like that.

I would bring back DOTW if people would be mature and participate. When I posted the thread it would die or people would be childish and not take it seriously enough. I will start it back up again though if there is enough support for it.

1. I would do what Complex said and merged some unused parts of the forum.

2. I like the idea of partnership/sponsorship
L. have a discount/raffle for free thing from them.
3. Get some big name Youtube people to say stuff about the site in there videos.

4. More contests (like every week) for free stuff.

5. Add to Complex idea with the Points/Shop, make posting worth something, like when you post you earn a point and a point gets you things in the shop.

that's about it I hope, I help

I like everything you said. Except for the shoutbox i think the shoutbox should be available for everyone if they can prove that they are mature enough to use it not spam it and other stuff.

This has been covered thousands of times. Chatboxes tend to distract members from posting. A VIP chatbox would be just fine. Other than that I agree with everything Plex and Snow said.

I like everything, especially users online fixed, I got yelled at for bringing it up last time and it still hasnt been fixed...

Ponits would be a bad idea because there would be a lot of useless posts, it would only encourage it.

Minor postbit coding as well. The member number doesn't show up when you post and it's never bold. Also, if you haven't filled in the gamertag field, it still appears in the postbit with a blank area next to it.

Seeing as how IGZ is kind of dead now, I'm thinking we loosen some of the things on the Premium Fourums, and add more perks for people that havent paid. but make the modded lobbys up for more pay. more profit, more people. have some people advertise too. i have been on my facebook and gamebattles and on xbox.

Imo people should not be rewarded with points... things cost money why not just pay for it? You need to grow up and understand that sooner or later because what are you going to do when you really want something... go to best buy wip out you Cod and pay with cod pointS?

I happen to like what snow said

I like the point thing tho since it will increase traffic and make the site more stable imo

like you could have premium for "Enter points here"
or even say a year of xbl but you need vip

its just a way of making people want to be more active and help out more people

I really like the points system. And if we don't get donations for the lotto, we can give away a certain amount of points for a winner. MOTM is a good idea also.

Who is going to supply rewards for the points with real money? People will be posting a lot more "cool" and "thanks" posts so you'll have to compensate with a lot of rewards.

Then thats when we start deleting posts, and infracting people. Plus, thats already a rule, we just don't in force it as much.

1. Less trolling. I know it's up to the members a bit more than staff, but still a thing I would like to see
2. More useful posts and less useless posts. Many people now seem to throw random post out just to get their count up.
3. Merge a few sections like a couple other people have said.
4. MORE ACTIVITY (it's a must)
5. Better member relations. I think that we as a group should get to know each other a little better. We do try and I see that, but I think we as a community could be a little more in depth with one another
6. More GFX participation =)

My input

You can't "Force" people to do SOTW or DOTW, that will only discourage people more. Theirs only so much greatness a site's staff can do.

My suggestions:

1. Even if you can't fulfill them respond to premium requests ( give explenation ) I see quite a few requests that don't even garner a response from the community.

2. 18+ Section? Their would be like 4 people in it no offense.

3. Modifying the main page that people see, it's been the same for quite some time, it should get updated.

about it for now.
