Re: Block Request

[quote user="Daggers" post="7494"]Yeah but with blocks if you don't like it you can turn it off. :)[/quote]

Yeah but if you put too much crap into the portal system it gets difficult to maintain. Look at phpBB2+, it's insane with all the so called features. Making and maintainig your own template and design is almost impossible. I think stuff like the birthday mod, hororscopes, abundance of smileys, lots of BBcode, credit systems, yellow cards etc etc is not necessary MODS. I'd rather install mods like that manualy if I need them than for the basic portal code to have everything included. 

I hope Icy Phoenix doesn't make the mistake so many other portals does and focus on unnecessary 'BS' instead of making an easy to use portal that focuses on content management (posting news, configuring blocks etc).

Just my two cents,no disrespect to the topic starter and your 'needs and wants'.
