Guest ihatecrosswinds Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Well, I'm new, and apparently I suck because of that. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I am still here, Adi. I'm never going to leave because everyday I hope this place will turn back to the way it was. I haven't heard from Yoda, Mace, or any of the others in a long long time. I don't think they left for good though. I haven't posted, I have just been reading what you all talking about. I can remember when I first got here. It was like the 3rd or 4th day of this place, and I showed Mace and a number of other people how to do their signature pics. That is when I thought this place was cool. It has lost it now. Just like the Movie TPM, it is missing something, I can't quite place it, but this place is missing something. There are too many pointless posts here, and nothing on the actual JPB game. I think people left here because of this. This board is the highest one on Jediknight.net. When people come here they see why this place has so many posts--just garbage. That is why newbies ask the same question 6 times. There is too much clutter to sort through and find decent posts. If people would just stop posting crap just to become a Knight or just to do it, then this place would be so much better. Now I bet someone is going to tell me to cut the drama. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Plo Koon (edited May 09, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 84Elan Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I do not know exactly when it started but it was great at first. It was cool to have some one who knew more about the game and could help you out even though in truth all the other guy or gal had was the stratigy guide it was still cool. It got better too cause you could come on and ask questions on stratigy and how to use one players abilites better. Then it got nuts with everything from people leaving the council to now porn. Its not as good anymore but hey I still come to see whats new. I might not for very much more longer. But for now I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Calypso Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 well, 84Elan, it sounds like it used to be a gret place, but with all due respect to what you like, i think this place is really cool, i was a wreck when i first came here, and between the bickering between the sith order and the uncouncil, and funny guys like hannibal and barnabas, i really love this place, sure, the topics mat stray from JPB, but all in all, this is a real great place, (and you have to admit, you can still get as much info. about JPB as you need if you ask) ------------------ The Un-Council's Disgruntled Bounty Hunter -Calypso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Btw, I do agree that this place is still the same if someone left, but that takes out a part of this forum. If there was someone who posted everyday, and helped everyone he/she could, then that person left after being here so long, wouldn't you feel sad that someone great has left to never return? Think about this. No offense, but it seems to me that the Un-Council members are running this place and making it a comedy forum and not a Star Wars forum. They fill this place (sometimes) with flaming and hate posts. Don't get me wrong, I love comedy. I have an excellent sense of humor, even bathroom humor, but when it is used against people, it is just wrong. I don't mean to offend any of the Un-Council members, you guys are cool, but the annoying posts of nothingness aren't cool. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi-Qui-Gon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Come on guys this forum is pretty good. I think we can get better. Plo Koon, you say you hope to see it come back to the way it was. then help us. we sure as heck can't do it ourselves. Let's all try to get this forum out of this bad mark in its history. (Any people reading these posts must think we are totally stupid ) ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 84Elan Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Plo Koon I salute you. You said it in a nut shell. The only thing I fear is that it will never go back and that is too bad. To the new folks it is a good place but it will never be what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 It's like my teacher said: You can discipline someone, but you can never control them. This is very true. The Administrators and Moderators can discipline someone, but they can never control someone. I have no clue on how to bring this place back, I can only say to someone "quit posting crap." Now, the Mods can discipline them by telling them to stop, or by banning them. They can never control them, however. The person can keep on coming back with a new name. You can't control someone who lives hundreds or thousands of miles from you. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I too, have the same fear 84Elan. This place is so bogged down in pointless posts, that I also fear it is so bad it can never be turned back. I don't see how people can think it is funny to post crap and annoy someone for a laugh. I also don't see how some of the people doing this can stand it. If I were one of them, I would get sick of people telling me I'm a bastard and the like. I'm pretty sure they want this place back too. But they have a "reputation." (Extreme sarcasm) ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rogue_Jedi Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I come back from vacation and I find this board has become nearly an opposite of what it was. Why? Hints, help, and occassionally some friendly role-playing have replaced by profanity, pointless confrontations and pornography( truly the phantom menace). I like all the new blood that has come on board, just not the BAD blood. Don't give them the power. Ignore their junk posts and let the MODs do their job and ban them. Sure, they may come back, but eventually they'll find somewhere else to get there kicks once it isn't fun here for them anymore.

Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Yep, only I haven't been on vacation. I got to see this place go to hell and back in front of my eyes. Not a good sight for a place I love. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mace_Windu Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I am also still here. I have still been visiting the board just not posting. I only started posting originally to help people and lately there has not been very many people who need help so I post less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue_Jedi Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Sorry to hear that, Plo Koon. Was it a gradual decline or did the barbarian horde come crashing down on you? Nice to see you're still around Mace_Windu. Any other long timers still around? ------------------ "May the Force be with You" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 It was a somewhat mixture of both. It just got worse and worse. It's hard to explain, but it happened faster that I thought possible. Too bad... Good to see you, Mace. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mace_Windu Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Plos right. It happened right after all the council arguments. The board became more off topic and Shortly after the off-topicness came the profanity and then Porn. Its been declining fast since the council arguements.

Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Well, uh Rage, you haven't really had the best reputation here. And now you have changed your name from Maul, Sith Lord to this, people won't know it is you unless they read your sig. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue_Jedi Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I recall some of the council arguments. The last thing was when MasterYoda left, came back, and became a mod. Just out of curiosity, when generally do these people come on? I would expect late evening to early morning. ------------------ "May the Force be with You" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I don't know. Are you talking about when the "good" people get on, or the "bad" ones? Actually I should say the "immature" ones. I guess the mods get on at about 2pm or what not. The others are just about always on. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barnabas Antilies Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 The Un-Council was not responsible for any of this. We kept tp our topics and didn't flood the board. We do not condone flaiming in the uncouncil. And we do not post hate post's. If a member has done this I would love to know so that I may deal with them. Mace_Windu Nice to see your still hanging around. You to Plo. As you can see I am still here fighting for humor where ever I can. At least I was never two faced about my intensions here. Not say either of you were. The Un-Council has gone through a lot of ridicule but we are still here. It just shows if you beleive in something you can make it work. ------------------ Father Barnabas Antilies, Supreme Chancelor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plo Koon Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Well, I just remember that Porkins fellow and others posting flames and what not. Even if they were kidding, it was still a redundant post for this board. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barnabas Antilies Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Not all that redundant. And they were within their rites. If a bunch of people are busting on each other and laughing I don't think you have a rite to complain.. They weren't flaming others.
