The forum seems pretty in-tune with the server, probably due to its excellent admins and their ability to extract data from the Minecraft server SQL and use it on the forums. My idea would require a little of that as well.

When I click on someone and view their profile on the server, it would be nice if it told me what town and nation they are in. It would also be nice if it told me if they were a Mayor, Town Assistant, or if they have a special title in the Nation.

It doesn't serve a vital purpose, but it would be nice to have. :)

The connection between the server and website is done between a plugin I think :)

I'd love to see this aswell, but is it possible?

I think the DB is MySQL, and the forums seem to be php based. It is entirely possible to anyone who knows the two. For example, I do.

Now, I am pretty certain ItsLawrence knows enough to either figure it out or do it. It wouldn't be much coding at all. Very minimal!

But the database would have to update when you change towns, becoming a assistant or mayor. And java in MYSQL is a bit advanced. Yes, this forum is PHP based as SMF was programmed in PHP, most forum software is.

We have already planned to do this. In a version of the site which you cannot see yet, we have already began to do this.

The game statistics are the first thing we have added as part of this transition to try and connect the site to the server even more than it already is. These can be viewed under the "Community" tab.
