Bennyboy 51 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 The Mojo forums are dead, alright not quite dead but dying. We're definitely talking 'call in the priest' time here. What's gone wrong? Are we all, as Scabb suggests, jaded old cynics who'd rather play an extended directors cut of stupid invaders than post in another 'favourite adventure game' thread? Is it that there's no-one left and this thread will be read by about 4 people? Or is it that we've simply run out of stuff to talk about? Either way we need some sort of recovery plan. Here's mine, we all post lots of interesting threads, have intelligent witty conversation throughout them and oh look a flying pig. How about, over the next week each of us (ie all 10 or so of us) attempts to start a new thread, relevant or not. To hell with spam and irrelevance, its far preferable to the current inactivity. Even better this thread can count as my piece of irrelevant junk, thereby freeing me from having to follow my own daft idea, hoorah! Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 *agrees* These forums were quite active until these new MI Discussion Forums came into existence. They're cool, but they killed Mojo! Link to post Share on other sites
BooJaka 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I think we've all just run out of things to talk about, it's not as though much has really happened in the world relavent to this board recently. We need some new adventure news from LEC or something to get the pulse going again. Link to post Share on other sites
scabb 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Go find things on the interent! Post links to them. On the forums. Here. Discuss other things, such as films. Or books. Or articles. Politics. Television. Non-adventure games. etc. For instance, "Look at all the crappy Monkey Island parodies on Newgrounds" "10 reasons why I hate Medal of Honour" "Which celebrity would you most like to deep fry?" "Wow, I saw the fifth element last night, what a sucky film that is" etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Hellbeard 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 no wonder these boards have gone cuppoot (sp?) Its because I stopped spamming here! Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 114 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Yeah, as is always the case, these forums empty out when the MI forums open back up, sadly Link to post Share on other sites
Hellbeard 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Yeah, because Mojo was the unoffical MI place but now we haven't got that no more. Now we're just failures. Link to post Share on other sites
Bennyboy 51 Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Erm..speak for yourself. Everyone...threads........now. Link to post Share on other sites
Gabez 10 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well, really these Mojo forums should be for general LucasArts, not Monkey Island. So I don't think that's the problem. The thing is, if people take a look at this place and find that there's no new posts, they're hardly going to be encouraged to post something. Conclusion: go post stuff!! Go go go!

MeddlingMonk 10 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Things are bound to pick up when E3 happens. Link to post Share on other sites
QueZTone 15 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 not really, there'll be a seperate E3 forum again ;( and for games talk, each game has got its own forums, that kinda the problem Link to post Share on other sites
SamNMax 10 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'm sorry. But I think the threds are just boring. Let's get a little more wild, insted of talking about Lord of the Rings (Which sucked, all movies from books suck.). Link to post Share on other sites
Metallus 10 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 If you think the threads are boring, then start up one that interests you. I think we've had enough of "What's your favorite LucasArts gaem lols" for awhile, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Riffage 10 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 i think me posting how to "hack" the store could produce some more intelligent conversation .....no? didnt think so either Link to post Share on other sites
Spaff 10 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 we could build messages of mass destruction and use them to take over the other forums? or just have random debates. Link to post Share on other sites
Alien426 10 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I don't hate Medal Of Honor. I'd like to deep fry Heather Graham (only the first who comes to mind). Fifth Element is an extremely sucky film. Link to post Share on other sites
C Shutt 10 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 ****ing oath. Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element was more irritating than Jar Jar Binks. Link to post Share on other sites
GendoTheGreat 10 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I won't sit here and listen to you two bad-mouth The Fifth Element. Since its video release, it has been a cheap and highly effective substite for general anaesthetic for many underpriveliged people. Shame on you. Link to post Share on other sites
Skinkie 11 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Originally posted by Spaff we could build messages of mass destruction and use them to take over the other forums? Believe me when I say they don't go in for this kinda thing around here... especially those Galactic Battleground guys.... Link to post Share on other sites
Tall Guy 13 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 If you wanna talk about dead forums get over to the GF forums, now that place is dying :( Link to post Share on other sites
Gabez 10 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 That's bad, Tall Guy. :/ But... you gotta love the irony. Link to post Share on other sites
ptdc 10 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I have a cold, and I'm going to blame it on you lot because I'm bitter and twisted like that. Link to post Share on other sites
scabb 10 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 The only forums that are flooded are the Monkeh Island ones. Unfortunately, they're also polluted. It makes me want to put a frowning emoticon right here. Link to post Share on other sites
jannar85 10 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 It's not dying.... The Adventure Developers forum is dying I post in here as often as possible. It's me who usually kick life into the SCUMM hackers forum. Link to post Share on other sites
scabb 10 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Heh, the AdventureDeveloper forums were never truly alive There seem to be a lot of forums that aren't posted in too much nowadys, such as the Indy forums, the Grim Fandango forums, the Sam and Max forums.. Still, there's more movies and games for all of those forums to post about, except for the Grim Fandango Network, which has been injected with slow acting sproutella, and has no liquid nitrogen. Irony isn't always fun. Link to post Share on other sites
