17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:44 - Ok, i feel like I took on a bit more than i can chew with my New & Upcoming Games for all platforms. Basically I want to concentrate on the main lists (PS3, Xbox360, Wii, PC) and not so much on handhelds and PS2, so i'm just ignoring those for now, thinking of deleting them.
But what would be good if we can implemented one or both of the following:
1) Allow a member to 'transfer' a custom list to another member. Basically, the new owner will have full access to edit/update the list, and won't have to rebuilt it from scratch.
- As i'm planning to not update the PS2 and PSP list of new games, it would be a shame to delete them, so if someone wants to take it over, it would be for Listal's benefit
- also, in the case where Thilian, who left us for a few weeks while he went on a train to Nepal to find himself, he could have transferred over his awesome castlevania list to someone else so it wouldnt get deleted along with all his notes
2) Allow a custom list to have multiple editors. At list owner's discretion, he can send invites to other members to give them access to add/update a list.
- this would list creators to maintain dynamic lists, like new games, IMDB Top250, and maybe other lists like Coming Soon to Theaters or Coming Soon to DVD

Maybe for the sake of the site, we could put teams on List assignments and they can work together on it over the year. These would be the Lists you mentioned that do need constant updating and changing.

and by ditching PS2 and PSP game lists, I can concentrate on adding trailers to my PS3 and Xbo360 lists as I started doing.

Shared lists would be brilliant for more of a group project feel. A group of top members managing important lists isn't a bad idea either.

17 years ago at Apr 15 21:07 - I have some ideas for this.
3) List feeds for users with shared lists to see what changes are being made to them and by whom.
4) Whether to eliminate a clutter of feeds or because their goals for the list weren't in line with others', users may exclude themselves from further list contribution.
5) In order for the list owner to "out" him/herself from his/her own list, first a successor must be assigned. One list master at a time controls who edits a list and who gets to keep editing a list - in other words, the list master can send list invites and kick out contributors for whatever reason.
6) On the right of a list's display, under the list's description:
List Master
Avatar & Username
List Contributor(s) (# of contributors)
Avatar(s) & Username(s), truncated if necessary
Past Contributor(s) (# of contributors)
Avatar(s) & Username(s), truncated if necessary

17 years ago at Apr 15 22:24 - Sounds like an excellent idea, i would be very interested in contributing to a continuing effort such as this. It would involve a keen ability to scout new media announcements, not just the obvious ones etc. A group working on that would be immense, we could have not only "personal lists" but also Listal Lists which could form a main page of the site. Upcoming films, games dvds etc would be a very interesting page, as well as perhaps a list of current top 10's at the box office, heck if someone could be bothered we could have a "top 10 on this month 10 years ago" etc, iv seen things like that elsewhere. (Although if they are elsewhere, i guess we wouldnt need them.) Still, there are infinite things we could do on a main page regarding media forms, even if they are lists that whilst factual etc dont need updating often, just every time something new enters the ranking etc (eg top 10 most profitable films etc)

It just encourages those incapable of waiting to steal it instead, i barely use my television now because i download everything i watch a year ahead of UK viewings (or at least a week in some cases since things have sped up)
Anyway, on topic, there should also be a way of doing cross genre lists!! This is something i've wanted for a while now im sure im not the only one.

Cross Genre Lists! That would be so great to have.
