Graal is about money.

And this would change if we went back somehow? Even now, there are plenty of subscribers who don't even know about the forums. The classic accounts aren't needed. Even if just everyone with some sort of gold subscription posted, there would be huge activity. But they don't. And even though I've tried, I can't get them to.

Unixmad and Stefan, both do read the suggestions on these forums, but they do not have to be insulted.

Calling Unixmad greedy is not an insult. And if you kept reading my post you would have notice i said i don't mean to be a jerk (i used another word but that is not the point). I am more than happy with what Unixmad and Stefan have provided us. I however do think if they were to maybe make a better option for people to get on the forums that would make everyone a lot more happier.

Once again <b>i'm not insulting unixmad</b> but i am however very pissed about the fact that i am starting to have to pay for everything. Nothing draws more people than a 2 for 1 deal trust me i know i'm a customer.

*sigh*.....

These forums are a privillege and part of the features you get when you pay for graal. Be noticed that these forums cost money too to run.(Vbulletin)

This is relevant only if you believe Graal is making more money from having the forums be part of the subscription package than they would from having them be available to lifetime classic accounts or "everyone".

Actually i kinda take back that forums cost money statement as i figured out this is a owner liscence.

Nevertheless its still part of their features list. More money, probably not.

It does confuse me how we have forums for various classic servers yet classic account can't post in them (I think?).

Activity has gone down a bit. Before, Graal could pull off the forum p2p thing because G2k1 and later on GK were popular....now they got nothing.

give it time, I'm sure graal just needs one project to be done and if it's done right, they're getting somewhere.

Are you talking about more than $100 per year?

I'm talking about forum activity not money. The place felt more alive before the forum went P2P-only again.

Inspiration · #59 10-08-2007, 06:06 PM

Nothing is really said here anymore to encourage someone to want to post. Most discussions are overly moderated, there's a ridiculous amount of content deleted as spam, ect. Most servers have their own forums which allow more free discussions.

Besides, nothing exciting happens on Graal that you'd want to talk about on a forum really.
