I don't think anyone thought of this yet, so I'm going to say it.

I think there should be 4 "ranks" or "titles" people can earn: Admin, Instructor, Pupal, and just plain old Member. That way people if someone needs help, and they see someone with the title Instructor, they can ask him.

Anyway, that's just an idea I thought would be nifty to have.

EDIT: Also, it would be cool if we had something that updated us on whether or not people posted in our thread, blog, etc.

Dunno what about the ranks but i would support the idea about having to be notified when a blog is updated. If not, i wouldn't know if there was a new comment unless i checked it for myself.

Anyway, if someone needs help in terms of animation or anything, He/she can post in the help section. In that way, anyone who can help, hopefully, will help.

'Rank' and 'Profession' kinda' does just that.
People can see that I'm and Administrator, Bas is the Founder and Underling / Malfunction are Moderators.
Then there are 'members', with the profession 'Animator', 'Programmer', whatever it says.
Anyway, we could maybe put down a little 'check box', whether you are a 'tutor' or not.

And yeah, I'll ask Bas about some sort of 'notification' on your blogs.

Yea, I agree with both ideas, however, I think you should be able to pick which threads/blogs you want to be notified on when you post them (it comes up in a checkbox?) as If you make a really good topic, you get an ultra amount of spam in your inbox.

You'll get the same choice as with e-mails on PM's.
You either get them, or you don't.
