At one point this is the way it was for Warbirds.
They maintained their own BBS like HTC does, and it was directly tied to ingame id.
Name and password was the same as for logging into the game.
The problem was that they did not accept criticism as well as Hitech & crew do.
So if you said something someone didn't like, you would get locked out of the Msg board.
Is that really what you all want?
If they did that wouldn't most of the problem children just end up at a new/different board?
Yes it did/would solve some problems with people who have been PNG'd and who sneak back.
But it also opens up new cans of worms.
If you had a credit card problem and your acct gets locked your locked out of here also.
Not to mention its just that much more complicated and thus likely to break.
You would still have shades, they'd just have to have either a 2 week free acct or a new paid acct.
Soon as they are signed up they can be in here with a new name.
Sorry but I just don't see this as being the answer.
And yes I got kicked off the warbirds board for telling Hotseat he was full of BS.

Burn in hell Hotseat!
