Re: forum in decline?
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:10 am
Here is a proposal to save the forums.
Shorten everything down. And I mean EVERYTHING..
Cut all the forums down to the basics. More activity then.
Create new forums for Quantum, Chaos and Ascended, and when you click on the forum link in the top right it will bring you to those forums not to this one.
Create a helliopilious (sp) of information that can be accessed by everyone, basically the collective knowledge of the forum here.. Like useful posts. Or just have "the great libary" more visable
Drop the following secions
Forum & Mod Feedback want to publicly say something about the current Forum Mods? The Mod setup? The Rules of the Forum? here you go...
Talk to the Mods Direct Want to address a Forum Mod directly? Here you go...
If you want a SPECIFIC mod, use PM, but for any mod, this is the quickest place...
StarGateWars IRC Chatroom Discussion Offical Chat Forum - if you have question about the chat or anything related to it ask here
Forum Specific Issues/Requests/Bugs (NOT GAME ISSUES) for FORUM issues, complaints, requests, bugs, etc - - not game related...
Other everything else
Main Race Forums
Quantum Wars
Chaos
This, That, Those... some of this, a little of that.
Quitting.... for all the 'I quit' threads....
worry not - if you come back, you are not punished![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
None of those are needed for main, and i don't need to know what is going on in ascended all the time.
Make it so that if you are creating new usernames in another SGW game, that you can't take on one thats already taken. Example you can't have EnterTheLion in chaos and quantom, that way when EnterTheLion in Main masses Rek in Main, Rek's alter ego in Chaos can't just type in EnterTheLion and mass him there. (using them as examples cos they are the most famous) What this will accomplish is hopefully less hate and anger towards players all being vented out here.
I doubt that last part will happen but hey..
Finally scrap all current mods. AKA have it so that none of the existing mods with the exception of 2 or 3 (you know who you are
) stay as mods, becuase they are NOT corrupted with the "power"
And as a final note to the existing mods.
The reason the forum went so downhill is becuase of all the crap that you allowed to be posted here for "friends". I admin forums, I mod forums, and I don't bend the rules for anyone. I will come down on my best mate if he breaks a rule and I have. Ask Tok'ra himself he is a 2ic in one of the games I admin and he posted out of bounds, I corrected him as soon as I saw it and guess what HE'S A MODEL POSTER!!!! If you lot didn't hold grudges and stop with the crap that you lot all bring to the forums as moderators then we wouldn't be having all the current problems.
I hope the next round of mods aren't as thick as some of you are!! I don't care if I insult you right now becuase you lot are a disgrace. Even when ETL was running the forums and it was "an omega" forum it was still a good place to come to and laugh.. Even for the ones who hated omega.
So mods SHUT THE HELL UP!! Just do your bloody jobs and don't complain... If you can't handle being a mod on these forums don't do the job. There are hundreds of people who can and will do the job 10 times better then you.
Now i'm off to buy some popcorn for the new series of Heroes tonight..
So mods go away from the computer, players you too and look into the mirror and ask yourself. Who I am on the forums does it really matter in real life?? Then come back here and say sorry to everyone for being an ass.
Good luck
