Forum update and submissions

I've been working on the new 1.8 forum upgrade for a week now and I've installed some new feature that I can reveal today:

• Mood selector (150 choices) Changed for status selector (200 choices!)
  
• Add (private or public) messages on profiles
  
• Updated Thank you system (actual thank you count will be carried with upgrade)
  
• Avatar galleries (we had the feature on 1.6 but it was not used)
  
• New smilies
  
• Option to give post reputation
  
• Post/Thread tags
  
• Profile views stats (last visitor and visitors count)
  
• New shoutbox (Displaying date and avatar)
  
• Thread last poster avatar and thread creator avatar displayed in forums. (Too much work, canceled :/)
  
• Enhanced Video Embeder
  
• New MyCode tags (hide post content to guests among other stuff)
  
• Default MyBB 1.8 upgrades (lots of minor things)
  
• Many small fixes in the FF default theme (e.g. polls on normal threads)
  
• NEW! Alert system
  
• NEW! Imgur button in post page to upload instantly videos and images.
  
• NEW! Icon font available to users.
  

Update (11/06/2015)

What will be gone with the update:

• Attachment upload for all user groups
  
• Sprite Database
  
• The sprite Gallery (That desolated place nobody checks!)
  

What we be done after the update in a 2.0 update (probably around Chrismast):

• New Sprite Database
  
• Submission form for users to submit patches, documents or hacks
  
• New music player
  

Right now, if you want to submit new smilies idea for the upgrade, you can submit the sprite with text to replace:

e.g. text: objection

The second option is to submit smilies ideas that we could do from scratch in this thread.

Secondly, we are open to avatar galleries idea, you can link the gallery (images zipped) or just give what you'd like to have with a link to sprites or images. The galleries would be VG oriented but we are open to other ideas as well.

After all, the forum is driven by its users, so we'd like to have things you like on it. I'm also open to features suggestions, as long as they are within a reasonably scale in terms of coding and feasibility.
