I mea seriously. Other than a few posts her and there from Meee Kurai and I its mostly just Willy and Ijff tring to outspam each other. Where's the rest of the residents of social discussion?
Not to sound to rude. But if your going to ask why, simply look around. My Clan was very active, until we were forced and complained down to nothing, so most my members joined another forum where they could have BNET fun. Yesterday, i read a thread, and this guy quoted someone, and he was talked down to that quoting was unnecessary. Other times myself was talked down to by other senior forum members for little things. Simply, i believe that people are just killing the fun of Forum'ing by trying to make themselves look good. They are enforcing little things that dont matter. Kills the enviroment like i said way before. Which was why i was hostile in the begining. This is all IMO
I try not to chastise members on those rules unless they do something excessive like posting a 4 paragraph post to leave a few words worth of comentary on one sentence. As for your clan members you and most of your members are pretty good about following the rules but there were a few peple who made some off comments in the genral forums.
I will agree. But when it came time to just have fun, they chose other forums. I am here trying to just have fun, but its hard like i said, when there are people out there who Dont like me cuase of earlier confrontations. And they will play there cards when they can. But o well, most of my members either dont bother coming here anymore, or signed up for another forum. But regardless, this forums is a good place and a wealth of info. Just some people ruin it.
I'm not trying to outspam him, I told him and anyone that read that post. I work night shift. Which I didn't do last night. Oh well.
GMG tied me onto a chair and he is..standing..right in front of me...oh phew he's is giving me a cookie
well shadow the reason is it was spamming unread thread things and half the time your stuff ended up being bleh from your members, imho and of the opinion of others but i get what you mean~ and yes, drie does the same thing =_=
If you just hang on until sc2 comes out this place will then be flooded with posts! BTW, I think I'm quite active. I don't start threads that often though...
I start threads. Half or more are garbage. Mind you my Xbox Gamer thread could be used. Hint hint. Hint. Hint hint hint.
Well thats true that not many people post nowadays, including me. For me, and others too probably, been quite busy with everything lately, and can really only come on to check up on any new Q & As or just plain new...news. But the population would probably come back sooner or later...or just when SC2 comes out like Simbob said.
Trust me i have seen worse... I guess we have the people that keep this place alive to thank. I wonder whats gonna happen to the site after SC2 has been released, then it would really be a ghost town.
im back an i made you awesmctures; modls of how you would have looked in shadowangel. i only did 8 people though
I think the reason for that is that you joined at the wrong time, basically. You see the shop played a huge role in shaping this site (back when it was SMF), and that system made certain rules that are not applied at other forums necessary because you get minerals after the number of words you use in your posts. Here are a few guidelines to give you an idea (I think these aren't in the current FAQ): You are not allowed to quote the post you reply to if it's right before your post. Everyone can see that you reply to that since your post follows it. If you reply to a post that isn't right before yours, you can quote it as long as you don't quote more than you type. This is to avoid people getting minerals for text they didn't even type. Since quoting is necessary to make the thread easy to read, you should remove the bits of the quote you don't address, again, to avoid earning undeserved minerals. Though the shop system doesn't work at the moment, these rules are still enforced to keep people to it, to avoid people getting used to excessive quoting. This is to avoid having to edit and penalise posts after the shop gets installed. I've seen this attitude in the thread where I deemed your clan elitist. I think you value post count and rank way too much, and perceive offensive and degrading tone in posts from senior members when there is none to be found*. I think it's safe to say this community doesn't care for post count, and so there is no difference between people's opinions relating to that. Being senior and known by other members, on the other hand, does play a factor, but that is there in every forum, every community, and it's inevitable. *There are, of course, exceptions, because everyone is moody sometimes (even me ), but that is no reason to generalise and regard that person arrogant. The reason your clan has (had?) trouble being accepted by the community is that you lot are used to different habits. I can assure you that everyone here started out as neutral to you, but since you didn't want to mingle with us, paired with the fact that your members didn't see other people's (outside your clan) posts welcome in your section, we changed attitude accordingly. The fact that you created threads that already existed in this site enforced our feeling that you wanted to stay separated from us. At a place where people share ideas, chat, and spend free time together, this is regarded as mean and eccentric. Please don't think that can't change. We've seen several instances of people being disliked only to see them become a popular and trusted member in the end. You might have had a tough start, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Hooray for thread derail. But, my aims were noble, so you shall accept this post in here. Gives a bit of reading for everyone who complained this place is a ghost town
