these forums will be quite deserted. try to condense it. For the amount of users this board has, there are waaaay to many forums. I wouldn't add any at this point, and condense/remove some. For example, condense the older console forums into one forum.

Originally posted by JohnnyTAE Wiccan as A supreme mod in dmasters place and a misc gaming forum (for computers mainly becuz theres only places to talk about a couple games no new games or just off topic games and stuff) also is there a way to make the spam forums not show up in the view new post list because they serioulsy hog all the usefull space and I lose all my worthwhile posted threads

wiccan hardly posts in any of the forums besides "off topic" ones. supreme mods should be ones that post in a variety of forums and would actually be usefull to their position.

Well... A UO forum will be semi-populated now... since we got the LOD players on this place... so it won't be deserted

We had an UO forum, but we removed it due to inactivity. I think we got 4 posts in a month there.

But it's back in buisiness

the same is true about the separate individual forums you have for NES, SNES, Atari, Coleco vision, Neo Geo, Genesis, etc.

they all have their own forums?

yes, of course. take a look for yourself.

ewk... what's the point i mean they are more deserted than the new ghost recon forum! (mind u the UO forums is not deserted at all thanky to my useful download of UO )

i got an idea aabout the post timer. maybe if some1's been a member for a certain amount of time, and posted a certain amount, the timer for them could be removed/lowered? cuz i get the fact that its mainly there to prevent mass spamming from other sites, and if we made some1 be a member for 60 days or so and about 500 posts, then we could be pretty sure theyre not here just to spam, theyve got something to say. just my 2 cents. cuz i think that would make it a lot more fun for the people that come here to talk, and have trouble doing it cuz of the timer

that would just instill a post count heirarchy. wait, i want that

the spam timer is a good feature I belive keeps everything from being overrun

by what?

by spammers is what i believe he means

I think mods shouldn't get the timer even outside their forum

Originally posted by JRwakebord by spammers is what i believe he means

yes but spammers cant "overrun" the forum if they post in their own separate forum

the posts there effect many other parts of the forum i.e. the view new post link, and the post count hiearchy

yes true... but once again... why should mods get timer outside their forums?

I was just thinking with all the changes with a new cheat sections and a misc gaming forum both if's but what if you began a new place with the name like General Gaming then put the cheat codes and Misc Gaming underneath it and the noob forum should be under zelaron

JohnnySays-"just Brainstorming don't flame... idealate!"

I dunno... i think it'd be just a spam fest because there are so many games out there... unless in the forum you limit that there can be nothing down there about a game that already has its own forum... then it might be actually somewhat successful... i dunno...


just my canadian 2 cents which probly worth 1.3 cents in the US
