Feature Request

Profile background music: Be able to upload your own favorite music that people can listen to when they visit your profile.
+on/off switch will allow people to listen to it when they want. avoids mixing with already playing media files (Zageron). people who don't like it won't have to listen to it.
+music adds to profile character/quality

-data too heavy?
-it might be hard to control the use of unauthorized music...

Switch profile vote to 5 star ranking: People change their profiles. Accordingly, profile votes should be changeable.
+people can make differences between good profiles and better profiles, bad profiles and worse profiles.
+people can change their opinion of the profile as it changes.

-data too heavy?
-it may be wasted because many people now either 'vote thumbs up so that they get a thumbs up too' or 'vote thumbs down to annoy ffr players.' these people do not base their votes on the quality of the profile.
-reset already recorded profile votes? but then again, people who make alternative profiles face this problem in every aspect of the profile anyways.

Re: Feature Request

I'm sort of half and half with this.
PRO:
-Great atmosphere, makes your profile more YOU
-Can intertwine with the background and colour style

CON:
-Mixes with music already playing
-Can sometimes be really bad music
-Not everyone has the same tastes.

2 to 3

So CON wins.

No support.

Con #2 and #3 are basically the same. If it's bad music, it's bad to you. It could be good to others. That relates to music tastes.

Mixes with music already playing? wha?

Pros:
-What Zageron said (2)
-Show others what kind of music you like/listen to
-Possibly get others interested into the music?

Cons:
-What Zageron said (1, not counting the first one he mentioned until I know what he means)

More pros than cons, but the magnitude of the con isn't far from all the pros combined.

Support, but it's probably a hassle to make.

If you have media playing in other programs it will mix and sound horrible.
-Can sometimes be really bad music.
People may upload horrible quality music.
-Not everyone has the same tastes.
You might just not like it.

Re: Feature Request

Yeah, its definitely a hassle to make. Zageron, if the profile background music is unfavorable, you can vote thumbs down for the profile. I think that the profile vote as of now is worthless. Its either 'I vote up so other people can vote up on mine' or 'I vote down to annoy other people' and not based on the actual profile itself. You can also add an on/off button for the background music.

More on the profile vote: People change their profiles. I don't like how you can't change your ratings on it.

Re: Feature Request

I'd support this feature if it didn't make ffr look even more like myspace than it already does.
