I was thinking, in long conversations in threads and images, it tends to exist the problem of confussing background ponies because their names are not so friendly to remember. Having then this in mind, would it be possible to apply a system in which anonymous persons can put a customizable temporary name? For example: “Background Pony #2834 (Twi)”, but simultaneously, blocking the usage of usernames of the staff or roles such as “moderator”, like it happens with the flairs. The only problem that I see is that some persons can abuse of it and impersonate others,
 
I’m not sure how easy or hard it’d be to implement something like this, but I’m sure it would be useful and avoid many potential headaches.

That was one of the reasons the randomly generated OC avatars were added. As for customizable names, that’s a bit easier said than done, due to the way the data’s stored on the site. The most practical way to do that would be to use cookies, but anyone with any technical literacy would be able to change that and it’d make sockpuppeting easier.

I missed the part about keeping the hash. I thought AnonShy was suggesting a replacement.
 
Though still, with the way that is all setup, I’m not sure how realistically possible it is.

Sure, but… what’s the point of that? If you want your own name exactly to specifications, you register an account. If you don’t want to be reliably identified outside a single comment section, use the BP mechanism, possibly including a way to make different BPs easier for human brains to tell apart.
 
Adding the latter feature is reasonable and easy(-ish). Adding a feature that allows custom names is just not necessary, and quite a bit harder.

Also seems pointless when the Reply feature automatically creates a clickable link so not only can you tell what BP they’re replying to, but which specific post by that BP they’re replying to.

How about these things: A counter on the bottom of a thread that shows how many users and guests(save for users who choose to always post anonymously) are viewing a thread. Also, a beep or chime sound that activates when streams that you follow go online.

The theme was done for a day as part of a larger display of blatant artistic parody. Making it a permanent part of the site, without all the parody (staff titles, mocking announcements, etc) is just ripping off another website.

I’m not sure changing the colors is making it that similar to another website. ;P
 
Especially when you’re still able to click the dang links!  
[Seriously. Trying to click on the notifications just DOESN’T work sometimes and I have to tab to the link. What even the hell?]

What we really need to make a return is the purple theme. I mean, doesn’t this look great?

Sadly, the lazy asshole who designed that theme has never bothered to port it to the new site layout, even though it’s been over a year….

It had nothing to do with Glimmer. I just like purple, so I made a userstyle to make the old layout turn purple…. Then the new layout came out a week later :P
