Top of the forums?

RE: Re: RE: Top of the forums?

I also fear the distance is causing a lack of involvement. Compare the views earlier threads got to the views this thread got.

Wait a second! We just hid it from everyone! Bassicly, we will rarely get new players! Here's my proposal.

Move TWG to "Gaming", let the actual forum be visible to everyone (like on the index), yet to view the threads, you have to be in the usergroup.

Bassicly, we still attract people, it's a little higher on the forums, and everyone is happy.

RE: Re: RE: Top of the forums?

I don't like that idea LD. I think that making it visible but having the threads inaccessible is even worse than having it invisible, because then people will want to join the group without even wanting to play just so they can see the forum. Otherwise, they have to deal with an inaccessible forum in the way. If the Staff Forum worked the same way (visible, but unaccessible), people would be pissed.

I am going to write a short advertisement thread to be stickied somewhere (haven't decided where yet) enticing people to play.

I think this poor attempt at compromise makes no one happy. The people who wanted it to go up don't have it up far enough, the people who want it to stay down have it up further, and non-players have to deal with a forum visible on the index that they will never visit or want to visit.

Can we discuss the real reason you don't want to do this?

That's one of my points. Also, look at the people who are posting here. Are they not higher calibur thinkers? The fact that it's a long trip is weeding out the poorer thinkers. It's a benefit. The cost is, of course, that you spend an irritatingly long time going up and down the forums. My recommendation: Don't close the window. Just minimize and have at it.

The point I was making was more or less that your opinion should logically be valued less since you're not actually playing (like Squeek's), but whatever.

I'm as affected by this as you are, even if I don't play. Although I don't really read TWG or take part in the games they do affect me. They affect CT. I personally don't enjoy bearing the burden of costs. That's why I'm putting most of the costs on you. Not only are they low costs but they're nothing but an irritation. In any case, because the decision affects me, my opinion ought to have the same weight as any one elses. The same goes for Squeek. The decision will affect anyone who can see TWG forum. Why should my vote be taken less seriously?

The real reason is it just doesn't belong! TWG is not life (to most of us ), it belongs in Other. I tried moving it up 5 forums to "Gaming", but thats flawed?

It really isn't a big deal! Like you said, you know where you are going when you go to TWG. If anything, it will get in the way of people who are in the usergroup, but not in the current game.

Can anyone honestly say they wanted this change before this thread was here? (BESIDES CHARDISH)

Your vote should be taken with less weight because you're not willing to put the effort into this forum to make it what it is.

EDIT: LD, I already told you to make a new category if you were too worried about organization to put this in Life.

Yes, and I was personally wondering why it hadn't happened before today.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Top of the forums?

If that's the case, Kilga, your vote should be counted with less weight. It affects CT, a forum you're unwilling to put effort into to better.

[Squeek]

Re: RE: Re: RE: Top of the forums?

What the hell kind of thinking is that? You'd quit the game just because it takes less effort to get to it?

I guess we can tell how committed you are to it.

Fine, leave. We'd be better off without you.

2) I quit. That's right, I quit. I really didn't want to play again and only did so for Omega's sake. He ended up getting in on time and I didn't feel the need to drop out. I figured I could finally play the game as a human...obviously I'm not allowed to play this game as a regular role (A joke, chill out).

I only played Infiltration to get it off the ground. I even said this publicly on the forum somewhere, but I don't exactly know where and I don't exactly want to hunt it down right now.

Like I said, I left the game for moral issues it brought up for me. I didn't leave the game because I'm against it being at the top of the forum categories. Come on.

The decision would affect this forum more since it's the one actually getting moved. Any effects it has on CT are effects with less weight.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Top of the forums?

Isn't it selfish to complain that because people are spending more time at another part of the forums than the one you frequent, the one you frequent should be given more attention and the more popular forums should be intentionally pushed away in order to give yours an advantage?

CT and TWG aren't at war with each other. One of the reasons we made TWG its own forum was because you complained. It sounds like you'd be happier with TWG gone altogether, so why don't you just say so?

[Squeek]

The bottom line of your push for this occurance is as such:

"Guys, I hate using my scroll wheel / page down key / space bar / arrow key for less than a second to find the section of the forums that I will post on less than twice in a day and I suggest we move it to the top of the forums where it will conflict with other forums in a place where it does not belong."

This is the message I'm getting, at least.

Quit bitching.

What's wrong with that? I can't influence moderator's decisions anyway, so if you're going to make it a hassle on me, please remove the hassle.

I did not quit TWG 4 games ago for the reason we are discussing right now, OK?
