Title: boring..........
Post by: Hellios on December 14, 2005, 05:40:58 am
theese forums need more action, Ive seen less than 10 posts in the last hour......I think. Anyway i say that there should be more events and more activities to do out of game. Ive spent atleast 20min a day on these forums and i see barely anything happening.

WE NEED MORE ACTION!!

Then find something better to do.

Post by: Karyuu on December 14, 2005, 05:51:17 am
Maybe people are busy doing something else, away from the computer? There are timezones to consider.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 14, 2005, 05:57:37 am
Let\'s face it. There\'s far too little people frequenting these forums to make them a fully active place.
Title:
Post by: Hellios on December 14, 2005, 05:59:03 am
yes i understand that but i go on at alot of different times during the day. And there isnt much else to do where i live. Im not trying to complain, it may seem like it but all i want is maybe a few extra events or simple things to do. I relise there arnt many people here but the people that are here ,are a bunch of PS active people that i know arnt the type of people to sit around and do nothing ( from what i see on different posts and IG) I dont want to cause a fuss but thats what i think.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 14, 2005, 06:08:18 am
Well it can\'t really be changed. You\'d need to have something like 30 people frequenting the forums most of the time instead of just 8.
Title:
Post by: Hellios on December 14, 2005, 06:14:19 am
you have a good point :) but i still think that the RMs or forum masters should try and draw more active members to the forums. I find many people IG just standing around not talking or doing anything, they could be afk but the frequency i see it i doubt that many people are away. If there arnt doing anything, get them talking here and the forums could start alot more activities IG and out. There would be alot more people to talk to here and alot more posting.
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on December 14, 2005, 06:17:19 am
The RMs set events in-game ;) We\'re not here to liven up the forums. If you have any suggestions for forum activities, then please share them.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 14, 2005, 06:18:24 am
Heh, I remember standing around ingame afk\'ing most of the time, because I\'ve been hanging out on forums. Drove some people crazy and it became one of those recognisable bits of my character that later would be referred to... I remember something like that happened in one of comments for my Lord of The Spam story :P

If there\'s something you want to talk about, then start a thread.

If there\'s nothing you want to talk about, then read a book, play outside, call a friend, etc etc etc.

Post by: Nebuduck on December 14, 2005, 08:26:41 am
Well, if \"In-Forum Activities\" don\'t get immediately classed as spam and deleted, I can think of loads of ways of keeping ourselves amused...

In-Forum Hangman, for example...

but I have the feeling that that would create a very long thread with no real content - which would be very noticable to the mods as spam...

Hmm... well, there\'s my view...
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on December 14, 2005, 08:30:08 am
A forum game section suggestion was made once, as long as users\' post counts were to be unaffected by the posts they made there. I\'ve no idea how possible that would be, or even how necessary - as stated many times, if you\'re bored then please do something else - but I certainly personally have no desire to wade through \"game threads\" looking for the occasional spam ;)

Post count hunters, obviously. Attracting those to forums is in my opinion a bad idea.

Post by: Nebuduck on December 14, 2005, 05:50:36 pm
Start a seperate *unofficial* forum (so you don\'t really need to check for spam) but link heavily too it from this forum, or something - I\'m sure you could add a link to the bottom of the main forum page saying \"Game Forum\"... wouldn\'t be too hard.
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on December 14, 2005, 06:45:44 pm
Or you know, there are plenty of such game forums already in internet land, so I don\'t see why you can\'t join one ;) Nor play other games on the computer, whether full-fledged graphically-intense, or flash.
Title:
Post by: Nebuduck on December 14, 2005, 06:51:59 pm
Because we want a games forum you\'ll join Karyuu! So PS based hangman...
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on December 14, 2005, 06:54:32 pm
xD I don\'t like forum games, so I\'m not likely to join anyway. But if someone would like to make an unofficial game forum and give us a link, it could probably be stickied. Though of course, I doubt it would increase the number of people who visit the forum in the first place ;)
Title:
Post by: Drey on December 14, 2005, 07:38:20 pm
I would have to disagree with Annah, we already have enough of him in his thread to keep us going a while.

Dogs and trees on the other hand... is an entirely different ball game.
Title:
Post by: Kiern on December 14, 2005, 08:02:27 pm
Eh.  It\'s always been like this, too many people means it is hard to keep up with what is going on.  And besides, if you want to see what an active forum is like just come here the day of a big release.  Bleh.  Small community\'s are the best, I assure you.

These forums were much more fun back in the days of The Cabal.  :D Then the mods came and were like... OMFGKICKBANNAGEINYOURFACE!!1111 and then there was silence....  :(

Bah.  There\'s one forum I frequent where a lower post count is actually seen as a GOOD thing, assuming you\'ve been registered for a while already. :|

Meh... I\'d make an unofficial games forum... but the current pressure of exams and my reluctance to put my webserver under any sort of strain at all deters me from doing said thing.

Karyuu: you gotta like stuff like hangman. They rock. Word games pwn.

Join sect of nebu!!! (I haven\'t said it in a while, felt it should be mentioned - current members - 2)

Actually, if that was the case, the more someone posted, the more of it would be constructive and intelligent (granted they keep their mouths shut if it isn\'t). Thus the more someone posted, the better. Which makes your statement false...

And yeah, Cabali times were interesting Xordan. Maybe the guild forums will be spiced in the near future. Stay tuned.

:P

/me slaps Draklar

Don\'t ask, it\'s fun.

The date went pretty well, you\'ve \"escaped\" this time.

Well, since we both obviously want each others babies so badl, I suggest we come to a compromise...

Yes, Draklar can have our babies. After all, he wants everyone\'s babies.

Well, I admit., they\'re a little bony at first, but if you raise them well they make a wonderful stew.

 8o How could you say that??


Better roasted.

Post by: Nebuduck on December 17, 2005, 01:30:49 am
Stoo. Stoo. Stoo!

Though I\'m sure roasted is perfectly nice too... If you\'re a mad New Zealander...

I think draklar would prefer a stew though.

Nightmare on Elm Street is scary.

Thats my two cents.

Greetings

To Kiirani: You\'re right next to the strange looking guy. :D

To Nebuduck: What Draklar said. Hydrogen peroxide itself is inflammable. Depending on it\'s concentration, H2O2 can be quite reactive though. It decomposes spontaneously into water and oxygen (2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2 + Energy). With catalyst, H2O2 can also be split into H2 and O2 gases, which react explosively yielding H2O. However, the main uses of hydrogen peroxide are as bleach and oxidizer.

Because all flame wars are deleted in under a minute, people aren\'t direct with their insults, and besides, there are usualy only 5 people on the forums at a time...

 And it\'s the same 10 people OVER and OVER and OVER again

Hi

At first I was going to give them more identifyable characteristics, but dumped the idea since it might have annoyed some of the people involved... or the ones not involved. :)

However, should one wish to claim a face and explain a bit why you look like that and what you were doing at the time, I have nothing against it.
