I'd personally rather not confuse Brandon by moving it. Besides the logic behind keeping it is fairly sound:

Does keeping it negatively impact the forum? No.
Does removing it positively impact the forum? No.

Yeah, sure - it does no harm, I was just wondering if there was an easier way of implementing it with vbulletin crap than just a thread :)

You could have all the requests in the support forum instead, and let brandon do rep again like he used to because he was awesome at it and not biased..

People would complain about the reputation removal anyway regardless who actually did it. Plus we would have to make it so they could see outside the support forum and let users know what features they can request. It's just easier where it is now.

I agree that it's fine where it is, to be honest.

Separate threads for features (I think brandon can cope with that), add a post to this thread http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=272477 (p.s. needs updating, replace scott with chris and such) with details of VIP stuff.

Not that I'm suggesting we do this, I see no reason in moving the stuff. Although I don't see any harm in moving the name changes to the support forum and allowing the standard "I want my habbo name" requests to be put in there too.

Moving it to the support forums would require a user to check a thread outside the support forums and then back in so they can request them. It's not like they are private matters either so may as well keep it where it is. Been there for years and people will come across it.

I'll update that thread tomorrow.

Anyway, why is it that people want us to change something that doesn't really need changing?...

Oh I whole-heartedly agree, I was merely presenting it as an option should someone give a convincing case for actually moving all the stuff. I do feel that it would make more sense for the name change sub-forum to be merged with the support forum, or abolish it all together. It seems rather silly to have some name changes as PMs to the FM and other name changes in a VIP sub-forum, it seems more sense to keep it all in one place.

On the note of the name change request forum the thread relating to it needs updating as I do not believe that Yoshi still does the VIP name changes:

Why not just put ' request forums ' as a sub-forum or whatever that is called. The real one should be for VIP chat.

cos the current VIP forum (where members are allowed to post) doesn't get used, so it'd be an empty forum.

oh. but the guy who posted this thread will probably post threads for members to post, so it wouldn't be so empty.

Severely doubt it. I mean if he wanted to, and wanted to prove it'd be used then fair enough, give it a trial, if it's used implement things, if it's not don't bother. I personally don't see the point in having an elitist forum when all of the posts would be fine in the normal forum :/

This is true. But I agree with it being given a trial, just a week trial. If no one really posts in it, just delete/forget about it.

then you could say that about all sorts of sub-forums. at least food+drink (for example) gets posted about once a week, the vip forum hasnt been posted in for as long as i've been here :// If people wanna give VIP chat a go then why not start it in the forum, THEN post a feedback saying IT'S USED MAKE A SUBFORUM.

The only possible use I can see is a spam thread (similar to staff spam) which would be open to all VIP users, rather than a new thread each time.
