While there can be arguements all day about the usefullness of a calendar by those that don't use it, you will find the exact opposite arguement by those that do. I don't think one is right or wrong.

Here is what I think it comes down to. If you don't use it, or don't plan to use it, its of no obvious use. However, if you do use it, and plan to use it, it will be of tremendous use.

How needed is it by people that don't have one today? It isn't, because they don't have one. But for people But for people who have one and don't want to lose it, it's needed.

What have the people that don't use it lost? Nothing. What have the people that will use it gained? Everything.

Have any of you looked at the threads for calendar mods of other boards that don't have one built in? They are probably one of the most popular threads.

The important thing I think is the option. It would set FUDforums further apart from the competition. Having something like a calendar allows people to organize themselves and spawns return visits and thus more traffic. That's what were all after anyway isn't it? More traffic?

Not to mention, it would probably further the conversion of other boards that have calendars and don't want to lose it. I see it as a win/win/win situation. Those that don't use it or have a use for it, don't have to (make it optional). Those that will use it will make use of it. And finally, those that don't have a use for it now, but might in the future, have the option to turn it on at a later date.

As far as implementation, personal calendars might be going a bit far. It's a nice idea, but that would probably be the thing that gets the least use (but again it's nice to have the option!). A global calendar is the most important in my opinion. If there were to be versions of this calendar application, I would suggest in version 1, just to have a global calendar. Perhaps personal calendars could be implemented in version 2 if there were to be a version 2.

Just another 2 cents in to the bucket.
