It would be cool to see what country everyone is from, via implementing geolocations :)

.beat time at the top of the page, and then somehow a list of user submitted meet-up times to play games, like the weekly threads here on the site. .beat time, because that's what PSO does for it's clock, and what would be more fitting for a dreamcast world clock? :)

^^ this. an option for all times to be displayed in .beat time would be awesome. Maybe something that says what time and/ or what day each user is most active on their info section.

Also this is a bit different but didn't want to make a new topic for it but could you update it were you don't need to put in that disc for PSO anymore like you did for Maximum Pool with the vmu save. Have it automatically connect to the PSO severs

Something I was thinking about the other day...

Maybe have some sort of Dreamcast achievement system. Basically give people more achievement points based on how long he/she is on a particular game. Plus we could do special achievements for tournaments or whatever. Something that may help boost more activity for DC online games :)

When i'm using a web browser it shows me playing the last game I played online.

No big deal but it could confuse some people, for example when we are playing Monaco we are checking DC-now to see if someone wants to join since you have to recreate a room to play with them, which would be a waste of time if they are actually on the browser.
