how about just a featured rat of the week/month? no contest, just to highlight a cute rattie :-) then you guys wouldnt have to do much just post it for a bit then take it down to post a new one? i think it would be cool to see ppls rats and hear maybe a short story about that rat? maybe do a contest later on when you guys have more time or something but for now just do the Random Rat :-) it would be fun and simpler plus i think it would help bring our little rat community closer. (and make somebody feel important!) :-) :-)

How about a rat news section?
Like not news about people's pets but rats found in the news or articles you found online etc.

I like the ROTM idea. Would make people feel proud of their lovely ratties, haha Would also get people more involved, methinks.

We had a Rat of the Month contest but it was accidentally deleted at some point and we've all been too tight on time to revive it right now.

The unfortunate thing with reoccuring contests/features is that someone has to actually be around to manually set stuff up... only me and Kiko have rights to change the homepage banner right now and we've both been very busy lately.

Hey Jaguar, I know you've got your stuff going on at the moment. I've just gained 5 whole days in my week! If people wanted a ROTM contest I'd be happy to assist and organise it

I love the rat of the month idea. Like maybe a cute pic of the rattie. Their age. Color. A little info about them.
I think it would be great!

What about a chatbox? The Rat Shack forums has a little chatbox section where members can talk to each other.

I love the rat of the month idea, imagine how famous the ratties will feel!

May some contest, rat of the month like some users said, picture, or drawing contest?
Just something fun so everyone can get involved.
Maybe a page with some user made guides to rats and ideas as well.

Alright... onward and upward, right?

With the vB conversion, not a lot of our custom forum stuff was transferred over. We're currently using the vB default for just about everything, which is making our site look rather... plain.

So... if you've got any suggestions on how we can improve or better the site for its users, please let us know. No matter how big or how small, give us some ideas vB is pretty flexible, but keep in mind it does have its limitations and some things just won't be possible to implement. We'll do our best though.

Chat box would be good, like others have said... Also a games board, like word games (round robin, etc).
