Ideas to improve AO

[BigEvil]

The idea is great in principle, but could seriously cause problems. First off a disclaimer, I am not saying anything bad about anyone directly or indirectly. There has been "trusted" dealers before who flaked out and went bad. All buyers should be encouraged to research the company/seller they are buying from. There is a possibility that if AO grants a "Trusted" badge that AO will be held responsible if that "trusted" dealer/person flakes out. Nothing should replace good old fashioned research, if you do not research the seller, then it is on you to a degree if they dont do as they should. In my opinion the feedback thread system is fine, and you can easily save the link and include it in your communications with the buyer or seller. Simple is many times the best.

Same thing can be said about an official feedback rating, which iTrader would be. Another idea would be to have the user's feedback numbers be listed automatically somewhere near their screen name, if that sort of thing is important to enough people.

I just like the idea of getting some flair going.

Sigs. Oh, and SIGS. An artist and old school member like me, this cannot be understated. Anyway, other than that, I like the idea of the Tapatalk and Forumrunner app concept as well as branded merchandise. But, do not use Cafe Press...their product quality is crap. If you're going to do this, and I can help make it happen, use Zazzle. Their shirts are good as long as the design doesn't get too complicated...they print all the colors at once using a digital press and so some colors turn out crappy compared to normal screen printing. Of course, all of that is still better than Cafe Press's quality.

Oh, and if possible, I think we should have a better and more involved / used section dedicated to AO Meet & Greets. That was one of the cool things I experienced way back in the beginning...actually going to an event where other AO members were and meeting people that talk online. We here in MO met up at Battle Creek in Kingdom City and ShooterJM came all the way over from CO to meet up. That was cool, and he was a great guy. So, I think trying to bring in more brotherhood for being a member of something "elite" would be great. That's one of the things I always liked about shooting a Mag and being on AO. Outside people would say "How come you don't shoot an Angel?" (at the time) or something like that and "What's AO?" because they didn't understand the feeling of community.

I have always felt the people that shoot Mags do so because they are tinkerers by nature, since the marker can have so many things done to it unlike your carbon copy semi-plastic marker out there for $100. As such, they do not care what other markers or features come out on cheap, knock off guns made in Indonesia with customer service in India. AO members then, and I would hope still, don't worry about what's "cool" now...they know what they like and they use it.
