Ok, I'm sure all of you know this this community has gone to hell, and that apparently no one's going to bother visiting here anymore other than the staff. So, those of you that are remaining, please read the forum rules located at the top of these forums and memorize them well, because they will now be strictly enforced. I also ask that you please keep any kind of arguments to PM's and email only. As far as swearing goes, I've let almost all of it slide up until this point, but unfortunately my leniancy has been abused far to much as of late, and I'm asking all of you to try and refrain from swearing as much as possible. Since flaming will not be tolerated, this shouldn't be too hard to do. I've already asked the staff to come up with any additional rules or modifications of rules; but I'd like to get any input from the community as well, so if you have anything you'd like to add, or if you don't completely agree with one of the rules that have already been implemented, please either PM me, or reply to this thread. Thank you.

I thought the first thing people do when they come to a forum is read the rules... at least I do.

Here's my suggestion as stupid as it is:

Take down the forums; they're lowering people's perspective of the site for sure. Add commenting and user accounts the main site.

I see this site doing very well as a resource site - or even just a TK games site.

Your wellcome. I'll report stuff when people break the rules, if you want me to.
We don't have to worry about loseing members, because the two who said they were, are oddy being the most active ones here. *Not nameing names you know who you are* But I'm defently going to change the way I act around here and try and deal with my anger probloms....

Theres still the usual people left. People need to learn to calm down and not talk junk so seriously.

I doubt they'll take the forums down, but I expect now that Matt has come back that things like user integration and commenting is only a few weeks, if not less, around the corner.

But I agree, these forums have let themselves slip. I think Spyder went for the "come here, we're laid back" approach too much to build a small community and it's backfiring.

Still - improvement is on the cards so all is good.

Hmm. Removing the forums from the main list might be a good idea. They could still be active, but hidden from the index. Integrating the user system into the main site has definately been on our minds. Xorlak has been looking into it, and hopefully the other two PHP programmers (Matt and Mike) can help out as well. By commenting, do you mean on the files?

Thanks man, I appreciate your support. We will continue to be a fully featured resource site, as it has proven even lately to be useful as one.

This is unfortunately exactly the case. I'm hoping that people will easily adjust to the rules being enforced however, and that things will go back to running relatively smoothly around these forums again.

Well, I'm not so sure about that quickly, but I won't complain if it happens Smile

We most likely will not be looking into new moderators yet, although we definetely will once we start development on this site again.  If we start attracting more people to the site then we will most likely need more staff, but we'll ask when the time comes.

Whoah... New age of "gimme mod" texts, instead of "I think I am good candidate for becoming a mod please give me it" or "Give me mod else I'll blow ya mothafathers to hell" we get nice "I am so good that I can sacrifice myself and become a mod".

I don't think they hire people with Turrete's anyway. Razz

Post by: Trent on August 03, 2004, 09:43:03 PM
If they don't hire me because of my Tourette's, that's discrimination.

I can sue them. Razz

Actually they hire people they trust. (And I don't think we can trust EoN, har har.) I guess they would hire people from way back (Like people who have been here since 2001), since they know them.

And Haraldur doesn't count...since hes actually doing something for MS.
