About the post count threads...

Emarian · 09-08-2007, 03:25 PM

The reason I didn't make a 6000 posts count thread is because there's too many. Let the post threads die, and don't make any more unless you get into the Top 10, (Not pass somebody, you can put it in your sig or something), or if you get another set of 1200 posts. >.> Any other threads will be hard deleted. The threads go to games and other things, make threads about the games. Mods, ex post team, it's up to you now to start making those threads. It'd do alot of help for the site if you could post up some threads on newer video games with a screenshot or two (Just pull these from google images). It'd take about 30 mins each for you, and can start some REALLY active threads. Thanks to Sgurd for the suggestion, and completing my idea that it should be done. *Thumbs up*

I was noticing how there were so many introduction threads full of a lot of members that have introduced themselves, but never hit the forum after that. I think it's hard for a newbie to see a lot of these threads which mainly consists of two members having a conversation between each other; Which most of the time isn't necessary.

New members cannot really reply in the middle of their conversation, or comment on others having reached (enterhere) posts. Or when members make threads about surpassing other members in the top 10, no newbie can contribute towards that thread. The Top Statistics is there for a reason, to see who is in the top 10. Why make threads about it? There's even a shout box for things like that.

A newbie should see general discussion/gaming threads talking about members opinions on (whatever). That way newbies can express their opinion and get involved in a conversation.

Thank you for reading and if any consideration is taken into thought.

I agree on this. first time i saw theese Post threads i thought jeez, pointless.
But also i saw everyone where doing it and it was in the pointless section, so i did it aswell

Sorry, won't happen again, and i will try make some serious threads where we can make good conversations

Emarian · 09-08-2007, 05:32 PM

Awesome, that's what I'm hoping for.

09-08-2007, 05:39 PM

Yeah I suppose it is a good time to step up and enforce.

I am going to do some re moding and what not.

I didn't mean to come off aggressively or discriminate against anyone. The forum is doing really well, but I think it also has the potential to attract a lot more members. Thanks for being supportive guys.

Heey, what's that suppose to mean?

Anyways I think we should try to make posts easier to read. Like working with our grammar and spelling, and thinking of the build of our sentences.

That would be cool. I kinda tried that in the start, but then I gave up.

Emarian · 09-08-2007, 06:27 PM

That would be great..But none of the members here even try. Me, you, GFk, and only a few other members are the only ones who use English properly.

But we love the others anyways. LOL!

**Gamma** · 09-08-2007, 06:40 PM

Wtf? Yes, I always use proper english unless in a buttsecks convo. Lawlz.

But naturally, I agree.

Spellchecks will get pretty annoying though.

And I still say we ought to make the profanity filter an option.

Jorgi · 09-08-2007, 06:43 PM

Hey guys when we are on the Spellcheck thing.
In forefox when i first installed it it had a built in auto spellcheck ( maybe this was a office addon ) But it was really handy, but somehow it is turned off now.
I don't know how to turn it on again.

It's very usefull because it check each word you write and check if you spell it properly.

**Gamma** · 09-08-2007, 06:45 PM

Are you sure this is firefox?

I see it absolutely nowhere under tools, edit, or file.

Perhaps it was another program that was a side plug-in for firefox?

Sgurd Ekoms · 09-08-2007, 06:57 PM

I'm not saying make sure all your words are spelt correctly, but at least try to not type like, "dO u EnJoY rEaDiN' sTuFf wRoTe LiEk tIs?" (exaggerated obviously) It's also impossible to expect perfect spelling and grammar when you get posters that are from countries where English is their 2nd language.

It doesn't take much effort to write a bit better, it also makes posts look better and allows the reader to understand what is being said more clearly. But forums should not be used to chat randomly with people. Threads like swearing, flaming, or inappropriate topics neither.

Firefox does have spell check, you probably need to check out your options to see if it's switched off.

Jorgi · 09-08-2007, 07:07 PM

Yeah But I can't find it
