J.K Luke Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 My God, what has become the SWG official forum nowadays, it's very messy and full of desperate ppl with false rumors... I can't begin to imagine what would it become when they get to play the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed very messy and noisy in here, that is why i don't go there anymore. All the false rumors are so annoying as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Zaius Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yes I agree that that forum is totally full of people obsessed with spreading false rumors, and saying the infamous "First!" which gets on everyones nerves, even Q-3PO. I like it here much better because we are better as a community, no one ever says first, and no one bashes anyone else for something stupid or for their opinion. As I said earlier, this forum is like a small town and the main SWG forum is like a large city (or like a zoo if you prefer). Anyways, Im proud to be a part of this forum, as should the rest of you be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I was never a fan for those reasons, among many. 3 moderators moderating almost 500,000 people posting = not enough mods. I hate the fact that you ask a question and get talked to like you're a stupid nerfherder. Anyways, I Love this forum for so many reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyWombat Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 UC, I can't agree more... I had been hanging around over there a while and saw some people slaughtered for just asking a question...!!! How will that behavior serve the game when a person's first impression of the community is built from the insults of a "Newbie Flaming"...??? Several people over there apparently don't get that a forum community should foster new players as investments in their own RP/ gaming experience, and not as liabilities... Forums are communities and not everyone knows all the write answers, *or* the right questions and that's cool... They will get the answers they need to keep them interested *and* further the gaming experience as a whole, *if* we lend a helping hand... Botom Line... At one time... we were all newbies... to everything... Be a helper not a hinder... Wombat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 What should be done is take some serious people who have stayed here for some time and make them moderators. I cannot for the life of me understand why new people just refuse to get that if there are 20 pages of posts, there might be a thread on your question already. Or that if there is an FAQ, you can go there and get your question answered. And what's up with the posting of several threads on the same subject? I count *Five* threads on Jedi on this first page alone (what's so special about Jedi anyway?!)! Why can't you just press the "Post a Reply" button?! It's better than those AOM forums I went to before, though.. not only did people so not know how to behave, they also flamed whoever pointed out to them that they were misbehaving ("if you don't like my post on the same subject, don't read it", etc.) I freaking hate people like that.

The Punisher Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Originally posted by J.K Luke I can't begin to imagine what would it become when they get to play the game... The Forums are free, so hopefully the monthly fee of the game will discourage anyone of playing simply to antagonize other people. Well, at least that's what I am hoping...

Well, at least that's what I am hoping... The problem is that, there're some type of ppl who would still buy the game despite all the whines they have over it. And the official forum seems to be the best target for their whinings as that's where the devs would most likely see their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Luke Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 For now, I visit the official forum to see if there're some updates from the devs, and browse some topics once in a while to see how bad the forum has become Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krymelord Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 2,056,489th!!!!!! Ok I'll admit it... I was originally a Official Forum poster. Waits for the gasps from the crowd to die down By turn of fate, I am now stationed in Qatar, and am unable to visit those forums, due to a software firewall. I decided to start posting here, because I would always check SWG.net after the official site. I can honestly say I do not plan on going back, the Idiot Factor is almost non-existent here. It was a royal pain in the ass on the official site. As some of those who have read my early posts, I was very "flame-shy" when I first got here. I could actually post MY OPINION and not get ripped a new one for it. It was a foreign concept to me, but I am starting to like it:D . There is also an EDIT button, had to get used to that too. I still forget sometimes( Sorry Wraith, DS and Jan ). All in all, this is a great forum. I like the community and am looking forward to playing with quite a few of them.

setsuko Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 The edit button does wonder, actually. I hate forums where I can't edit my posts, since I often don't recognize the correct spelling or the correct syntax etc. until after I see the post on the page. And well.. a correct post is easier to read, and if people actually bothers to read the posts before they reply, there is less flaming. A lot of flamewars actually starts from people misinterpriting posts. Other than that, I can only guess it is the sedatives that I put in my cookies and Gaarni puts in the chocolate gnorts that prevents people from becoming agressive. Oh, did I say that loud? Go on, take a cookie, and you'll forget I mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
