I think DC would be 10x better if it had the following improvements. Please, take a look Admins!
-A page which shows all the available smileys and html available for articles and stuff you post...and how to do it-
-Allow Tables in posts-
-Allow the posting of V-cade game...make a v-cade section where you can just post your v-cade games.-
-Articles/downloads/previews/ect. Are in ABC order except for the top 10 newest.-
-Articles/downloads/previews/ect. Can be sorted by name, downloads, rating, review score, ect. BUt more stuff to sort by!-
-You should deem several people the ability to delete stuff. Like crappy articles and mindless crap. They could be moderators, they could delete things, or edit them, but they wouldn't be able to post news or anything.-
-Want more donations? Have an automailer send a message to everyone just once, reminding them to donate-
-Allow the <ul><li> tags(order list) and other things like this to help organize articles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
-Make it so DC posts do something!...Maybe they can give you more votes for the GOTW's or something like that. Or...your content would show up in a box once you post it for everyone to see. Or it could let your do more, like create 10 articles in a day instead of 4, or be a moderator on the boards...I don't know

DC post do something? Nope..bad idea... That would just cause more people to spam on the boards. More articles a day? I really don't think someone should be able to do more than 1 in a day.
"You should deem several people the ability to delete stuff"
already have mods for that stuff. Some get deleted most do not.
"Allow the posting of V-cade game...make a v-cade section where you can just post your v-cade games.- "
already have the V-cade website for that stuff.
Im the RTS and TBS coder. Expect some games to come out from me later after I finish my Engine tests.
PS: Dont expect the best graphics.

I know the title sounds mean. "Immediately." I didn't mean it like now. I just think that DC could be a lot better with these things. And I do realise these people have lives, as do I. But this could make it more enjoyable for everyone! Anyways, It seems like everyones happy with it to a certain degree as is.

Dec - The admins are busy and people have things to do. Lots of people always post about things they want, but if TDC won't die if it doesnt have them, then it doest exactly need them.
"Immediately." I didn't mean it like now
Lol, then when did you mean it? 10 years from now X).

What the DC needs is an edit button. The rest I can deal without.

I think DC would be 10x better if it had the following improvements. Please, take a look Admins!
k. (long post ahead btw)
-A page which shows all the available smileys and html available for articles and stuff you post...and how to do it-
There is one.
-Allow Tables in posts-
Why? I see no use for this. Besides, most tables would come out wrongly.
-Allow the posting of V-cade game...make a v-cade section where you can just post your v-cade games.-
www.vitalizeme.com
-Articles/downloads/previews/ect. Are in ABC order except for the top 10 newest.-
Your next idea is better.
-Articles/downloads/previews/ect. Can be sorted by name, downloads, rating, review score, ect. BUt more stuff to sort by!-
They can be sorted by name, date and author already. Click the arrows on the headers, and remove the s=& from the address, otherwise you egt an error (I have no idea why that is there)
-You should deem several people the ability to delete stuff. Like crappy articles and mindless crap. They could be moderators, they could delete things, or edit them, but they wouldn't be able to post news or anything.-
ShadowCaster occasionally breeds strange species called Admins to do this. Stuff is deleted, we just do such a good job you don't notice it 
-Want more donations? Have an automailer send a message to everyone just once, reminding them to donate-
Wouldn't it be classed as spam? People know about donations, and this would most likely put them off.
-Allow the <ul><li> tags(order list) and other things like this to help organize articles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Ignored due to excessive punctuation.  stars look nicer anyway.
-Make it so DC posts do something!...Maybe they can give you more votes for the GOTW's or something like that. Or...your content would show up in a box once you post it for everyone to see. Or it could let your do more, like create 10 articles in a day instead of 4, or be a moderator on the boards...I don't know
You don't know. Making posts do something would encourage spamming. Probably. Or did you mean points?
What the DC needs is an edit button. The rest I can deal without.
You can. It's in User Admin under Profile. You didn't specify

Done.
Allow Tables in posts
Not going to happen, sorry. It's too easy for someone to bugger up the existing tables by inserting jibberish TD and TR tags without first starting their own table. Also, people forget to close tags. So if someone started a TD and didnt close it, everything is going to be even more broken (and quite a lot of people forget to close tags, I spend a lot of time fixing download descriptions on the pending list because of this)
Allow the posting of V-cade game
Isnt that what the V-Cade is for?
Articles/downloads/previews/ect. Are in ABC order
Not nescessary. You can get the top 10 by clicking the link, then order them alphabetically by clicking one of the up/down arrows next to the title in the list.
More stuff to sort by!
Such as...? Most people use either chronological ordering or alphabetical ordering.
Moderators
We used to have editors, but they all got promoted to administrators.
Have an automailer send a message to everyone just once
Enough people got annoyed with me for sending out the email when DC went down, then came back up at a new URL, so I'm guessing people wont like actual spam. Also, half the people dont use valid email addresses, so the last time I did that about 2000 messages were sent successfully, and 5000 got sent back to me, clogging my inbox for hours while they downloaded.
Allow list tags
Yep, I was going to add this to the Allowed HTML list when I had time.
Make it so DC posts do something!
I assume you mean points? It'll encourage spamming. For example, that guy that submitted about 50 crap games at once. I think people who produced 1 really good game would get pissed if that guy had more privelages than they did, wouldnt you agree?
Edit button in the forums
Probably in the future, but it takes a long time to do, and I have a million other things with a higher priority on my list at the moment
I hope people dont think I'm being "defensive" or something, I said some of the ideas were good. But some of them just arent practical.
