Attn: Stefan, unixmad, and everyone else who reads the forums.
Well, I'm glad to see either you Stefan, or unixmad has actually gone to the AdminCP, and actually done something for the first time in several months--good job. Congrats to James, Kamuii and Ghost Pirate on getting modship, and all those in the future who will get modship.
Now, I notice the removal of the Rumor Has It forum, and I guess the loss of fai's "modship". In it's place you have added the kingdoms' forums. Now, I also notice that you have made Birdbird and James mods of the Level Editting Forum, therefore making them the mods of its children forums. Intresting. Yet, I do not see the other changes that can happen, or is this your way of attempting to prolonge the downfall of these forums? By changing out one or two mods every 6 months, and by doing almost no extra work? It's obvious neither of you care anything about these forums; probably just have them here to keep the players out of your hair less. I don't know why, nor will I probably ever know why; that's not important. And you further prove how little you two care about the froums by giving no one the ability nor power to help the forums in any way. Yet you post sometimes about how you don't know how to fix the problems. Also, look how long it took for the ModCP to owrk; we had to wait until unixmad upgraded the forums to 2.2.1. Never once even tried to fix the error it had.
"No one but internal staff can get adminship."
That's the lamest thing I have ever heard. You would think when people are asking you about getting someone adminship, and you have over half the forums going "SO AND SO FOR FORUM ADMIN" that you would listen to them. People actually do know who they believe in, and who they trust. The're are not a flock a sheep led around by someone. "Oh but you could get forums passwords." Well, there's a very large diffrence in having the ability to do something, and in doing so abuse your power, and abusing it. I have the ability to do many things on Graal, but I DON'T. As I said, there is a diffrence in having the power, and abusing the power.
Non-upgraded people read these forums as well -- I know I sure did. And this gives them another reason they want to upgrade...well used to give them another reason. Now these forums are in a state of degeneration that it astounds me that you two could ever let it get like this. Oh look how many people have stopped posting on these forums, and the number of people signing up for a forum account dwindles each day. Why you must wonder. Well, it's because this place is more like a **** hole now, than a fun place to hang out. But this, is just merely the beginning of the state these forums will worsen to. In several months I expect, or maybe longer...by the time my account runs out, these forums will probably be dead. It may get 20 posts a day at the most, either that or will turn into nothing but a spam ridden place that no one will see. If the message board was still worth it,I would reupgrade my account when it ran out just to continute to post on it. But, it is not worth it, nor is it worth it for anyone else. You stefan are devoted to the programming/coding of this game. You unixmad are busy with your company and the upkeep of the servers and such; both of you are busy people, I understand. But you two need to learn about trust. Obviously you two have very little trust in people. I don't understand though..why...why can you trust almost no one when a good chucnk of the players trust people? The players are responsibile for the continuing existance of this game, are they not? So don't their opinions--their voice matter? Or are their opions vainly spoken, only to be brushed aside? I want to make these forums a good, successful place, but perhaps you two do not? I know not how you two think. But I look around, and see so much there is to be done, and when you actually do something, it is not what needs to be done. Zultihe's replacement has yet to even be named, or modded, yet you added mods to level editting, and added several forums.
Sorry, I do not understand how you two can care so little about something a lot of upgraded players care so much about.
