The other day, I was thinking how convenient it'd be if GameSpot had a notification system, similar to Facebook. Every time someone quoted you, or mentioned your username, you'd be notified (not through PM) on the bottom right of the screen.

Would you like this?

Also, what are some additional features you'd like to see on GameSpot?

I would also like a feature similar to that, such as list of posts which mention/quote my username. (similar to the posting history)

I want to look at peoples post history, you know when you find a guy who posts really stupid but funny things and you want to read more stupid but funny things from them, like the quote in my sig, that guy was hilarious.

I'd rather get rid of any gifs. I don't have the greatest of internet and they don't load very fast at all.

I think its fine as it is and has all it needs. If I wanted to be blown away by some silly notification system Facebook has, then I'd make a Facebook account.

and I'd like a response hierarchy to posts, such as Topic: "what's your favorite movie" Amadeus -- oh I like that movie too -- oh, I haven't seen that yet, been meaning too ---- oh, get on that ------ okay, heading to the video store tonight to return movies, I'll pick it up then Star Wars, the original trilogy anyways -- lord of the rings was a better trilogy ---- no it wasn't ------ indiana jones was better ------ no, matrix trilogy all the way -------- no aliens trilogy -- I liked the Episodes 1 - 3 trilogy better ---- oh dear lord -- I liked both trilogies -- Star Trek is better, any one of them Pulp Fiction -- oh I love Tarantino movies, my favorite of his though is Inglorious Bastards ---- yeah, I love this movie too, saw it twice in theaters ------- I saw it twice in theaters first weekend ---------- I saw it five times overall ------------ dork -- love it too, it's a classic etc etc, basically people respond to thread, then they can respond under peoples responses or under responses to responses, or back to the original posters topic, and organize threads by newest comments first and older comments back so people don't stack on first responses, but comments to comments be order chronologically

You can already do that, granted that the person's profile isn't set to private/friend's only. But if that user finds out, not sure how they will react to it. :?

An almost anything goes board for people with over 2000 posts or something... where we could maybe flame a little more without the threat of modding...

i guess similar to what u said, since its so many times i dont come back and check up if someone comment on what i said cause i simply been away or commented on so many stuff so its hard to remember or find also free way of putting ps3 trophies (or any trophies) would be cool and gahh maybe they should make their own religion offtopic....cause im getting sick of those in the off topic also some of the censor for "swearwords" are just plain silly - sure i understand some but to not censor penis and to censor anything female related is just plain weird also reviews on time would be cool

Self suspension button with timer option.

On serious note, probably Highlight section dedicated to games with low to no advertisement budget. They really need some exposure and chance to shine because some of them were actually better than high review score games.

Make it a phpBB or vbulletin system.

Signature images to be no taller than 150 pixels ish...some signatures are just overkill.

I'd also sort of like a thumbs up or thumbs down option for posts. Maybe just a thumbs up even, and when you get one, you get a notification. But I fear some people would just be weird and thumb-up everything they see.

Sub-sections for Off-Topic. Like a sub-section for Girl/Guy Help, Political Debate, Religion, ect.

But that would make OT seem a bit less diverse you know, like you would have forums where people can only talk about one thing and...I don't like the idea, I think IGN does this and it's boring.

I am not really all for the "someone has quoted you in a thread" notification. Maybe if there was an option to turn it off, sure. The thing is though, if a user participates in RC or some other big thread that is going on where 5+ people are commenting/quoting you, your inbox just blows up. Still, I would like a blog feature that shows off people's recent blogs or something. There are categories for blogs but I don't see how it is useful?

Ah, most people who suggest it don't participate in RC or huge crazy threads related to it so it would be a good feature for them. :P Still, I would be fine with it if you could turn it off otherwise we could just address who we are talking to so we won't have to quote them.
