I agree with MotD; there are a lot of newbies on the TKZ. The reason why is probably cause it's the home of the RPGTK and people new to the TK have a whole lotta problems. Most of the n00bs are usually in the help forums.

I would get eaten alive over there and ms is better because it has less people and has less knoobeis than TKZ
"som1 tel me how 2 mak a mini gam plz plz plz"
   but the OT anything goes there, if you dont flame the heck out of people they flame you and the only way to survive is comical pictures and variations of OWNED! eg. PWND,  disOWNED, cOWNED, telephOWNED and my favorite, birthstOWNED! Razz
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Xavier on July 15, 2005, 10:03:23 AM
That's not true at all, TKZ doesn't even have an OT forum. But there are some jackasses, mostly non-TK users who stick around for nothing but forums. The Toolkit is popular, it gets lots of new users, get over it. Most of the newer members who stick around make good games as opposed to do nothing but post like the majority of members.

And yes, MS came first about three months before TKZ in 2000 (or late 1999). TKZ was around for about 18 months then I closed it down, then re-emerged in December 2003. MS was a great inspiration in making TKZ when Triuken was effectively running it (he eventually came to TKZ), unfortunately MS has gone a bit stale over the years although with TKZ being the big daddy now it did force MS to overhaul the site with PHP and whatnot, making it much better.

Mind you, I still hate MS for giving us Penguin (aka Cesque). Razz
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on July 15, 2005, 10:25:07 AM
Yes, that's a good point Vampz. And MS dose have some people who are just here because of the fourms, yet those people aren't really jack asses. Yet some people who do make games tend to be jackasses, most of them are noobs, and they only hate people because they don't worship there games *cough*vlademir*cough*.

However, I am with Dipshit on likeing MS because it has less people. It's better because you know everybody and such. I just like a fourm with not to many members but not to little.

People leave all the time throughout history, they leave the TK and sometimes the net hobby life. TKZ just happens to be the site. Activity is nevertheless constantly rising every month in terms of games, resources etc.

So good times for the TK...or those of us who use it Wink

Post by: Hamsterbob on July 18, 2005, 08:57:22 PM
you guys (except Xavier) are full of CRAP

The community is a fun place to be where you can discuss all sorts of things with people who all share some of the same interests as you do. the tkz IS THE COMMUNITY,or at least its undisputable center.if you stay here all the time without ever going to the tkz at least once in a while, you are definetly NOT part of the community, since you are not taking part in defining the user culture which inevitably guides the tk's development and survival.

And whining about the tkz being full of noobs is bullshit.The site is not a noobish place, and complaining there are too many noobs is like complaining about the rainy weather. noobs are a natural occurance and nothing can stop them.  but like the weather, they change their ways or continue on their way, either way each individual noob is only a problem for a day or two and a few of them stay as contributing members.



the overwhelming majority of tk users never visit these forums, and that is why i think it would help a lot if all but the game makers's boards and the one site admin board were removed.
Also, the game maker's boards would have direct links to the tkz and would show up as tk boards only with special icons and smaller text and minus the right hand board stats column.


Also more people use the tk than you realize.

and most people aim too high when making a game(like me) and never finish. but it doesnt mean they dont try to make tk games or suck at, because in reality they failed because they tried to hard to make up for lack of talent.

Even if they are not making games or using the tk on a regular basis, they are fun to talk to. if you made a freind while in some school club, would you stop being their freind just because they quit the club for an okay reason?

The community would die without new users, the world would die without rain. But here's the thing, Dude Man, if you were to go to TKZ and post you would be the "noob". And that's where your outlook falls apart, you are the very thing at TKZ that you complain about.

Now, you'd protest claiming that you've been around longer, used the TK yada, yada, yada....but so have many of what you call "noobs". Don't you see the very reason we have problems is the shitty attitude towards new members that so called "older" members have? It's pathetic.

That is the kind of attitude I want out of the community and sadly most anti-"newbie" sentiments come from people like yourself who do nothing at all to help the Toolkit as a result. I'd almost describe such people as parasites, living off the Toolkit and killing the good things it brings.

The Toolkit was rubbish for a two year stretch with a tiny 30ish community, no new games and no new releases. Just look at how it has come along since we welcomed new users and promoted this environment. Notice how most of the recent leaders in game making and TK development are relative newbies...

Sigh.

Guys, the reason I hate TKZ is not because of the thousands of n00bs there. It it because of Vampz. (or Xavier as you guys call him. Razz) He is evil! Trying to take over the community! Back when CBM was ruler, (I was lurking in the shadows back then.) things were much more peaceful then they are nowadays. No wars, no arguing, just a much nicer, more orginized community. This is accually the reason I joined the army. To make the community seem more orginized.  -_O

I may, have a hacked up arm, a knife wound in leg, a tooth chiped and a spliting head ache from haveing a rock thrown at it, But THAT HURT.

But, I hate to admit it, your accually right. I've become exactly what I didn't want to, a nooby basher.

People spend too much time worrying about "newbies", "communities", and forums, and not enough time working on games.

I just don't like PBHPB, or whatever the heck it's called. But I do like IBP, something about it, that seems more, wellcomeing. Yet it's barely even different from it at. It's odd the way my mind works, I don't even understand myself at times...

Xorlak: Go Xorlak! You like threaded, which means you're on the good side of the TK!

Dude Man: Speaking of OTR, be sure to close your eyes at my latest post at the Number Game. You might be disgusted by it. Razz

Vampz: I used to have PHPBB as my forum, by I switched to server.com a while back. I'm accually switching to Invision eventually, but Invision isn't exactly the same as PHPBB! So, you're wrong! MS does not use phpbb! So hah!
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Xavier on July 19, 2005, 05:09:59 PM
Read again, it said MS doesn't use threaded. As for Invision, it is good but it costs money ($75 or whatever) which is a high price to pay and although I have a license it would take days if not weeks to fully re-code TKZ to suit the new system. MS was lucky in that they got theirs when it was free (see the trial version at the bottom).

Threaded forums are great for small sites with a handful of new topics a week or maybe even a day, but no site which gets any decent amount of activity uses threaded. Whether it's PHPBB, IPB, YABB and the rest of them...it isn't threaded. It's easy to be organised with five people posting a day.

If TKZ used the old threaded system, every topic would be pushed off the frontpage within 6 hours and every popular topic would result in about 10 screen heights worth of post branching when browsing. It seems everyone, including most OTR people, know this...apart from some isolated people like you who think the whole thing is real.

But yes, TK Army blah blah blah, evil Vampz yada yada yada, phpbb boo hoo hoo...

...just wake me when you have something insightful to say.  Wink

And I have noticed that lately, that I haven't seen as many annoying knoughbies (newbies). I just hate the noobs, that ask dumb questions that are answered in the help files. Like "How can you make it so you can go inside buildings?" Like, come on, even you can admit that, that has to be a really stupid question.

Aminaga, your an idiot if you think the members of the TK Army actually hate the TKZ and think of Vampz as "evil". The majority of them post quite often at the TKZ forums. Yes, there were quite a few people pissed off about the switch to PHP back in the day, before you were even a part of the community, but Vampz is absolutely right, they suit larger communities far better than threaded. The entire TK Army concept was created, and exists, as a joke; nothing more. Just because you have a special logo in your signature doesn't make you any more special than anyone else in either community.

if you stay here all the time without ever going to the tkz at least once in a while, you are definetly NOT part of the community, since you are not taking part in defining the user culture which inevitably guides the tk's development and survival.
I fail to see how a good portion of the TK community guides the TK's development or survival. This website and it's users are just as much a part of the TK community as any other part. MS hosts a good deal of resources, games, and websites that help make up the TK community, including the homes of some of the most critically acclaimed TK games ever created.
Quote from: ""HamsterBob""
overwhelming majority of tk users never visit these forums
Just as an overwhelming majority did not visit TKZ's forums before it became the official website as well. Rpgtoolkit.com was far less "advanced" as Mystic Software. The only reason it got as much traffic as it did was because it was the original, and the official website. Becoming the official site is overwhelmingly the reason why TKZ is as large as it is today. I'm willing to bet that Vampz wouldn't work quite as hard as he does if rpgtoolkit.com still existed in it's original state today, and TKZ was still merely a resource site.
Quote from: ""HamsterBob""
that is why i think it would help a lot if all but the game makers's boards and the one site admin board were removed.
This website is not about to turn into a TKZ portal. It's perfectly capable of being a more influential part of the TK community; it merely needs a dedicated webmaster who's willing to sacrifice more of his time than I am.

Yes, there were quite a few people pissed off about the switch to PHP back in the day, before you were even a part of the community, but Vampz is absolutely right, they suit larger communities far better than threaded. The entire TK Army concept was created, and exists, as a joke; nothing more. Just because you have a special logo in your signature doesn't make you any more special than anyone else in either community.


Yeah. I to have to admit that I got a little carried away before. But OTR is just a joke. It's just fun to call Vampz evil. Like, his name is VAMPZ and then he changed it to XAVIER. Those are to, very evil names. Razz
