Drop down menu for ingame stats, I find the clutter as irritating as Loriel does. It's a good idea, but it doesn't need to be shown all the time. And obviously the option to have it not display for all of those people that like to play hide-n-seek (I know where you are

)
I like the idea of getting into some kind of turn-based fighting system with the pets, low-key of course. I don't need another thing to waste tons of time with. Using a point system to buy avatar and such would be nice just because we could get away from the post count thing (

)
- Forum time regenerates pets health + magic
- pets use different attacks based on battle exp
- physical attacks
- magic attacks (fire, ice, thunder, healing, the usual junk)
- blocking
- points are earned in battle
- earned for successful hits, blocks, and wins
- used for purchasing exp for your pet, or avatar, custom title, stuff
- lose points and exp (if no points) for losing battles
- keep people from staging battles to help each other gain points
- lose enough lvls, you lose purchased priveledges (like you bought avatar at lvl 5, you drop to 3, you lose avatar, so you can't just lose it right after getting it)
- dropdown menu on user's name will link you to pet stats and such
- Initiate battle with this user's pet
- View stats for this user's pet
- Add this user's pet to your team
and um, yeah, keep the regular post count requirements for avatar and such for the people who don't want to do the pet thing
