Are you still wanting to attract new users? If so, I’d suggest even a minimal amount of personal welcome or feedback to new members. It’s easy to feel like an intruder & an idiot. 


Since this could be a lot of work, maybe a compromise would be reaching out to new members who have stuck with it for minimal amount of time or who have reached a minimal level of proficiency. 

I’ve seen a lot of posts from new members who are wondering whether they’re being helpful or just making things worse by making mistakes. 

To do that efficiently, I suppose you’d have to identify which “online” players are new. That way, the general membership could take a moment to say hello.

Ahahaha!  A bug that acts like a feature!

I see this is an old thread but attracting new members is always a good idea. I heard about the site from the interview on NPR.
If you could get this into medical schools it would be a good start for the people that would like to make a career of looking for cancer cells or what we are doing tracing out the nerves. I saw a suggestion of teams maybe get one school to compete against another school.

Definitely a badge/achivement system. For example…


finished the tutorial
get 10/100/500/1000  at 100%
finish 10/100/500/1000

And ranks would be cool aswell. Just something to keep you motivated.

Make a little less stupid AI that allow very uninteresting gaps in fillings. I’ll leave project because this now.

I have 2 ideas (they are a lot to ask):

  1. be able to customize the personal account by allowing people to: 1) write a blurb about themselves and 2) show their fav neuron pic (through ew snapshots, so it’s not a random pic)
  2. also a chat bot, like an upgrade of nkem_test, where if you say hi to it, it’ll say hi back and hold conversations and such in a pm.

  1. if they add the feature, a hacker player will “upgrade” it so we can add whatev pic we want.
  2. a bot that makes convo? if they can create a sentient bot they can patent it and solve all of their badget probs :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not that good of a hacker, but it should just be snapshots they can only take through the website. Like a camera button.
