Taos Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 What do you think about the swamp now that there aren't the game threads here?? Is this good or bad and why is it that way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 They've now got their own forum. That makes this place a lot less cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<Im Yo Pusha> Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I agree, less lag is always a good thing. Thanks mods once again u made the proper decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomHelix Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 yeah, its less cluttered, but now i gotta go back and forth between forums, which is a pain in the ass. i wish they had it the old way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Its better. As others were saying, the non game threads got pushed to the bottom and were much harder to find. It was a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Like a breath of fresh air... Now you can actually get an overview on the good threads. Wisest. move. EVAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 Well, kinda like what you were all saying.....I like it a lot better! We can get some better discussions around here with out (some) spamming. It will be a much better place to come to post in. IMO! I'm looking forward to seeing what this will become!!

Breton Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I think it's quite nice, all the pointless threads has gotten it's own forum. Now the swamp is a place for discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Ya. Now my wish for having a serious discussion board has been made..indirectly though... Even though I dont get to be a mod.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemme w/Stick Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Well, I think its k00 that theyve got their own forum! Then people wont go here to post games, but it also means that people wont come to the Swamp for the games!! I still think its better this way! -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Moving the game threads was a good idea, firstly to reduce lag time, but also not to inspire as much spam in the Swamp. Those game threads were very spam orientated (short, non-sensible posts lol). People who want to play instead of talk can go there:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Just for the record, I gave the name & description to the new forum I always thought that the swamp is full of spam and avatarness. (meaning 99% of threads where about avatars.......yay...) But now we have moved the games to the new section, and this place has more room for serious discussion topics.

leXX Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I don't know why everyone is calling the game threads spam, if they were spam they would be locked. Game threads are just as important as the serious threads to provide a little light relief and have a well needed laugh. I'm still not sure about this move...

Clem Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 i agree with lexx i need light relief the game threads were good ... and if u cant find the serious 1's behind them ... well then ... u werent looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I can understand a harmless game thread or two, but when they had to move 17 or 18 threads to the new forum, I think we all can see the problem. The problem with game threads is that they rarely die once started, people just keep on posting so we wound up with an unhealthy dose of 'em.

obi Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Well, we just wanted more room for good discussion, like political debates, etc. The games weren't necessarily "spam" but they where mighty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I agree there were ALOT of them, but I didn't mind at all. I think most people are intelligent enough in here to decide what threads they want to post on and if you're not here to play games then simply avoid those threads. This lag everyone is talking about doesn't seem to have changed at all. It just doesn't feel like the swamp anymore but there is no point in me moaning about it because what's done is done. *goes to games forum* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 obi ... the problem with the heavy discussion threads is they end in argument the swamp will be a battleground without some light relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 i know this is a double post but i wanna check its gonna be read i assume most users are keeping 2 windows open to use both games n swamp doesnt this mean double the connections to the server .... people being about to post nearly twice as much .... hence more server load?

Wacky_Baccy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Posted by Clem i assume most users are keeping 2 windows open to use both games n swamp doesnt this mean double the connections to the server .... people being about to post nearly twice as much .... hence more server load? Good point... I have very mixed feelings about this new Game Forum... Yes, it will take a lot of the clutter out of the Swamp, but it will leave the Swamp only part of what it has come to be... I dunno what to think about it any more *note to self: Post missing oldbies thread before more of them disappear* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 to be honest its gettin quite boring. not because the games are gone. the discussions lately seems too broad. it wasn't as exciting as before when i first got here. common fellas we gotta come up with good discussions. and about the new section for games i think it was pointless. it's not really considered a spamming thread. if you think about it, even though we used minimal words in our post for it, it was still related. and aspamming is saying random words don't don't even make sense.

whitedragon Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 well when i was just a n00b...oh you mean the games. well i think its a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 it's certainly alot more neater, but it was easier when it was all in the same place, i'll get use to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 As was stated earlier, the game threads are not considered spam. If they where, they would have been locked. Instead, we have just moved them to a new location. No harm done. They aren't deleted or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Them mods were nice, letting you have your ill-deserved fun. Don't go yelling at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
