Privatize Dragoon Elite forum

While I'm not really sure of my stance on the situation, I'll try to provide some clarity.

The Subscribed Forums button will filter out particular forums for members. That doesn't satisfy the suggestion that was provided here. The thought, as I understand, is that people (all people, not just those who don't like the Dragoon threads) will post more threads if there looks to be less activity.

The suggested problem is that, while there is activity in the Dragoon section, most people don't want to post there, because it seems to be a 'private' group of people talking about things that only pertain to themselves. However, since the New Posts button provides ~20 threads, the non-Dragoon isn't going to feel obligated to start a new thread or post in one that isn't currently active.

Telling everyone to filter out the Dragoon forum isn't going to work because a majority of the people that this is targetted at are either too new to know or too inactive to see this suggestion.

To actually implement it, the forum would have to be made private. It could even be just semi-private. There could be a user group, joinable by anyone, that makes it viewable. That would limit visibility to only those who want to see it.

Now that the point is more clear, and I think that it may be a valid one, I will say that I don't think inactivity (even if it's just simulated) promotes activity. I don't believe that, just because there are no new posts, people will be motivated to start some activity.

It has happened in the past.

Well, we have recently turned into that "Semi-Private Forum" you suggested above. We have a Private Forum that we made to keep all Strategies and serious discussion in, but we recently decided that we are going to switch that up in a few days. As of right now, we are only posting in the Private Forum, but next week, we are going to keep serious threads in the Public Forum, and all spammity spam threads that mostly exist right now, in the Private Forum. That way, we can have our fun, but we can also co-exist with the rest of Zelaron and enable members to actively see good threads that have actual Halo gaming strats, suggestions, etc.

I think that should appease the masses.

That sounds pretty good to me.

But it's the Spammity Spam threads that makes the Dragoon Forum enjoyable to read every now and then.

You can get access to our Private Forum if you wish. Just click on the sticky in the Dragoon Elite Forum.

See what pisses me off about this is, all of those spammity threads can go into our Gen Convo. or Chat. Why is it simply Dragoon conversation if one of them is going to Miami for the weekend or w/e. If I saw a thread title that said Gruesome gets Fucked in the chat forum I would atleast read it, and probably post in it but instead they keep all they're posts pretty strictly in they're section and quite frankly I don't like reading anything in that section because it's mainly the same 4 or 5 fucktards with the exception of JR and sometimes Gruesome.

Don't really see your grievance then . Tell more people to post on the dragoons forum?
