There are a few guidelines for posting in this thread:
- Your answers should contain at least a brief explanation, even if it was the simplest of questions.
- While answering Yes/No question, please quote the question you're referring to. It gets confusing otherwise.
- At least do a simple Google search before asking the question here.
- This is already in the Smogon rules, but I will reiterate again: do not discuss ROMs or other illegal things.
- Do not ask for Action Replay or other external device codes. Use Google for that.

Can we delete inactive accounts with 0 posts?
We're not deleting inactive accounts because chances are an older user could return and want their account back. The most that'll probably be done is name changes if a user is desperate for the name. But in general a purge is very unlikely in the near future.
Can we enable likes in Smogon conversations?
This feature costs money that we don't have unfortunately. Plus, the admins are programming more important things for the site, too.
Can we have a dropbox to export older teams into?
It's currently not possible for XenForo. You can upload teams to files and then upload them to Dropbox to share with friends, but XenForo does not support this.
Can we add Tapatalk, or some other way to view Smogon better on the mobile?
chaos is currently too busy to be able to have the time to implement something like that. You can try to make something for us though!
Can we have a darker Smogon theme?
NMx13 designed one. This thread has instructions (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-dark-skin.3502839/) to add it in.
Can the search function look for three letter words?
Unfortunately not, but you can try to search on Google.
Can we have clans?
It's generally accepted that we won't have clans anytime in the future.
Can we have a ROM hacking forum?
We wouldn't get enough activity to really need a forum, as everyone goes to the other ROM hacking forums already and we'd have nothing new to offer.
Can we edit options in a poll?
Nope, Xenforo doesn't support that unfortunately!
Will we ever change the logo?
Nope, Smogon means Koffing in German, so unless we change the name there's... not really a point.
