No Off-Topic stuff?

Kaimetsu · #1 06-22-2001, 09:56 PM

Seriously, this will likely damage the forum as a whole. There will be far less posting and people will feel highly constrained by it. The players are the ones who use the forums and benefit from them, so why not let them decide what they want?

(I'm sure there's a good reason - I'm just trying to find out what it is)

I can bug galen to make an "Off Topic" forum, but that's about it. Sorry guys.

Kaimetsu · #3 06-22-2001, 10:08 PM

Dang... I suppose my chances of contacting him to discuss it are slim. Him too busy.

I've sent him a PM, so we'll see once he gets online again.

Off topics where?

Hopefully, Galen will make us an offtopic/random insanity forum, and the problem will be solved.

John_Hardy · #9 06-23-2001, 12:15 AM

I want topics (I think).

omni-m00gle · #10 06-23-2001, 12:17 AM

Hmm, we payed for Graal. This is a service of Graal. We should be able to post whatever we please.

I really doubt these forums would go any where if we only post about graal

Digging his own grave he is.

Yes but people could get offended and their parents may not want to see some of the stuff you may post.

Malak is a example

But we want to post what we want..

Unixmad already made it so Graal Classic lags on purpose now if he does this Il be read mad

HiryuuX · #17 06-23-2001, 12:22 AM

Also, just because we payed doesn't mean we have the right to do anything we like, if that were so we would have topics about porn, drugs, and racism

.

John_Hardy · #18 06-23-2001, 12:23 AM

You could make a seperate forum for it then.

Obviously. That's violating the rights in the code of conduct.

I wish I could go play on classic, I miss the old fun hangouts there, but it's almost impossible to connect and once you do connect you can barely walk without lagging

Its lagging on purpose, to get players to pay for the game if you didnt know...

First thing I noticed when I came back......

Graal Classic has held way over 200 without any lag before and other PWs up

It makes me mad, I use to be able to walk around without having to worry about a level loading, now I have to wait for it to load or else it lags me off

I realize that, but no offtopic posts at all seems a bit extreme.

This forums have been made to speak about graal and there is a lot of messages out of topics, starting today I will delete all messages out of topics and will cancel peoples access to the forum if needed.

Threads are supposed to switch around, that is what makes this message board interesting

Derrick · #26 06-23-2001, 12:44 AM

I really have no answer to this.
I dont know why he did it, and I am probably not going to ask him why :-\
[making a off topic forum] People would just spam there, maybe we could make the off-topic forum so that you get no posts? (then no one would post there like rumor has it...)

Why not just make the rumors forum into an off topic forum.

The major flaw with that plan is that many people with upgraded accounts that I know like to play Graal Classic more than anything else, and still have to suffer the lag. If Unixmad really wanted to lag everyone with non-upgraded accounts without making enemies who had paid for Graal, I think that he should set something up so that free servers would not lag if you had an upgraded account.

I was thinking that, but then people might get upset, like Fai

Actually, we could just change "Rumor has it..." to Off-Topic forum, then keep fai as moderator.
he seems to be doing fine isnt he?
It's not my decision to do this kind of stuff anymore, sorry.

I don't think there is any other way then to lag the entire server

He may not, he'd have more people to moderate

Huggles · #33 06-23-2001, 12:59 AM

We are talking about Fai here, the forum god

Derrick · #34 06-23-2001, 12:59 AM

Good, then thats more for him to do.
Rumor has it would be like practice.
If it turns into a off-topic forum then that would be the real stuff.
It would be smart if it did count posts though.

Yes, that is my point, Fai enjoys doing message board stuff so making the Rumor forum into a Rumor/Offtopic won't upset Fai

Next thing you know it, we will have to have graal related things in our sig, title, and avatar.... or we will be banned!
