The State of the Forum

[Krosigrim]

Emulation is dead therefore Emulation based forums are dead more so, what we have here is a forum without much to cover, so instead of a hustle and bustle news website, we have an extremely close nit community whom of which focus on a few different popular threads a day.

 

I'd rather have a forum full of a small amount of mature wise guys than a forum with snot nosed pompous teenagers who don't know any better.

I would say this is a common interest site (although barely alive). We talked about games, we talked about lives, we talked about movies, and we enjoy each other companies. I wouldn't ask for more except maybe we post more regularly?

Indeed.

 

Yea like Diso said... it's been a complaint since forever ago and were still here... just ever further diminished. GC always complained about the site, it was his baby and it was dieing.

 

What'll happen next?

Well let's see..

 

- Since the forum "upgrade", Emu Authors can post in closed threads, I wanted to fix it but cannot access the admin panel.

- Some Emu Authors are no longer such, and want the designation removed. Again, can't do that.

- Some people (such as Hexter) asked for a name change, months ago. Can't do that.

- Had an affiliation request. No answer from GC. Abandoned.

- Plus various things which I don't recall right now..

 

The "activity" (if you call it that) in the xbox forum has led to the loss of almost all the authors from the scene. For those that never visit there, take a look sometime and be shocked. Anyone who wants to argue about it, or wants to apportion blame to somebody, do it in that forum - not here. My finger is on the delete key.

So we all agree, Robert is cool and should stay ?

 

It's cool that the "state" is being brought up, but is that a bad thing? That the forum is a tiny thing amongst double digits of people? If it is a bad thing, what can be done to change that to a more lively state?

You also have to remember that while this site may not be as bustling as it once was, there are a lot of "emu-noobs" out there that stumble upon this site when Googling and probably find a good answer to a question they had. Sure, they might not register and become one of those 1 post wonders, but at least this site helped them.

So game-cop dos not reply to any messages?

 

Unless he has hit rock bottom in his real life, it would seem odd for him to not access the internet and not check out his own forum.

That or he is in a coma or dead.

This place is a sitting duck.

 

Iceman, dont worry about it in all the time I've been here I have only ever kicked up a fuss once and I nearly left for good.

 

I do think this forum has leadership issues, i think if you are assigned to one forum and given a set of rules then you should stick to it, but places like the lounge and spam should be 90% freedom.

My old forum god, you would have to post child porn before you got a ban.

Or be a complete dick for an extended period of time.

 

Its common sense, ultra members need a little more respect infact i think they get it to be honest.

Noobs should be welcomed and looked after

Negative trolls will only cause negative reactions - unless your nice to them. xxx

Indeed. The site is an absolute treasure of knowledge.

I thought GC was just not posting. If he is not reachable by the Mod team at all then there may be something truly wrong. and I hope everything is OK for him.

 

but it is a good point, if He's not around when the hosting fees and domain fees come up. this place is well and truly screwed then.

 

edit: I just checked his profile and it says he logged in last night at 8:59.

Yes , this could be a genuine problem we haven't seen or heard from him for a while now.

Even when I was living in Scarborough with no internet connection I still managed to get word out and get venom to put up a quick update for me so people new it was all ok.

 

This lack of info could mean a hole bunch of things - been arrested, in jail, gone on a forest gump type run and said "screw it"

Remember a while back Game-cop posted in spam asking for 30 bucks?

 

Someone needs to get in touch, emails for one.

if there is no response then wtf can we do?

[Skythe]

Maybe GC is working on beating a Guiness record.

I got plans for another site, epic lols all that stuff.

Sorry to hear that they took neo-cream, anyway I manage to obtain neocream.tk for free with proper DNS support (no forwarders) which is cool and I currently got it pointing to my web space, if you interested let me know if you want me to setup a wordpress blog and give you ftp login details.

Thanks man, but if anything I think I would have to revert back to my old template, sure it was old and ugly looking but I loved my crazy old site.

Will keep it in mind, thanks.
