While the Torn community has been incredibly active this year, with numerous suggestions garnering attention, it's clear that not all ideas have been implemented. This table highlights the 34 suggestions that reached over 250 upvotes and had topics submitted to B&I in 2024, along with their current status.
I've had to leave out any suggestions that didn't follow the instructions to write "250R+" in their B&I thread title. This is because Torn's search function is so busted that if I try to search for (example) "R+" it just serves me any topic that uses the letter "r".
There is one notorious suggestion that didn't follow the template that I can specifically remember (and have included), but there may be more. If anyone knows a better term I could use instead so I can find those threads and include them, please let me know!
For each suggestion that was not implemented, I've read Chedburn's reply and given them a "type". These are:
- Incompatible with Planned Updates: The suggestion was rejected because there’s already an update in the works that the suggestion is not compatible with.
- Ineffective: The suggestion didn’t actually address the problem it was aiming to fix.
- Alternative Suggested: There was a different solution proposed instead.
- More Info Required: Chedburn needs more details before making a decision.
- Incompatible With Vision: The idea didn’t align with the game’s direction or overall functionality.
- Design Concerns: The suggestion would require major changes to the interface or coding that would complicate things too much.
- Reverted: The suggestion was initially accepted, but was later reversed.

Some delicious doughnut charts to visually display this data:
Thanks for reading, hope you find this data as interesting as I do. Even though the majority of suggestions haven't been implemented, it's worth noting that there have been plenty of adjustments or decisions made which were informed by community feedback. One example I can think of is Halloween relics were adjusted to expire after one year following a discussion in the community. Someone with a better memory than me will have to write all of those ones down!
