The Current Forum

Postby popfor » Sun Jul 22, 2012 5:39 am

I feel that the current forum lacks emotion. It is filled with a lot of "ainranfags ganked WF fags while those faggots cry to other faggots and ladyfag and other disfag members kill ainran faggot." The trade threads are filled with "D: but i wented that dhelm 4 only 3 perls!! Y u so mean?!?!" The wizards tower is full of people complaining about "hao bot plss get me bot 4 mass curios" whereas many belong in the "How do I?" section. Now lets take a look back to how these threads used to be: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3486 Good example of well-thought out speech and a hint of roleplay, over all interesting. If a player posted something similar these days, and maybe a bit less poetically, they would be banned. I mean really?
GOOD GRAMMAR:
Oh look, a troll thread with good grammar. A rare sight: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5232
A good RP, well thought out village thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1798
Olook a warning (this for u bby): viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3868
OLOOK a peaceful thread full of hopes: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14039&start=10
Did you know that devs used to play too?: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2332
Now lets take a look at todays popular threads:
Oh hurr durr strokin my epeen: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=28534
Ainranfaggots ganked dis faggots in WF <_>: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=27889
My epeen is ovar 9000: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=28516
Doesn't have a life, poor nolife :( : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28682
Whar is waldo lolo i kil nobb 4 fun lololo: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=28581

So basically. UP YOUR GAME PEOPLE. Because honestly Image

Don't shit up this thread? It's a regular forum troll posting about how shitty the forum is lately. Late or oblivious to his own doing I suppose. Dunno what made you go soft in this case but the thread is shit in the first place.

Might as well lock/delete it then because you of all people should know how this is going to turn out. Or just be a hypocrite like popfor, that's cool too.

It's not a troll post, it's serious. You can't assume every post Popfor makes is a troll post. Stop talking about it and avoid the thread, nobody wants your creamy cock barging in to threads you can't be serious in.

On-topic, I think this is a prime example of why the forums have changed, because nobody is serious and feeling the game anymore. It's not about survival, it's all about killing each other now. It's all about how much better my bot runs than yours, or how low or high priced goods are, or how x faction is fighting y faction. People are talking about random shit that has nothing to do with surviving. More like gearing, fighting, and conflict are all thats left and that has intruded onto the forums. It should be about raising quality, etc. The forums should be a place of the game, like Popfor pointed out, there were threads then that involved role-play and fit into the game. Themes are good ideas, and calmly communicating via forums with good ideas, themes, stories, fun and social stuff is the way to go.

In Congress Assembled shouldn't be a place for people to brag about kills, hate and mudsling. It's a congress, assembled. It's peaceably discussing faction relations, town relations, village relations. Deciding on a common goal, looking towards the future with plans. It's the same with other topics, Announcements shouldn't be a place to whine about lag, it should be a place to find a solution if anything, or what it's meant for, just announcements.

Please, stop being so bullheaded with posts and replies. Listening and creating a peaceful place to barter, discuss and improve is what the forums should be. Right now it's just a place to show your e-peen, bash others, and brat fight.

I never said he was trolling retard, I am only stating (just like I said before Sabinati came in and hel'd the previous posts to save this great thread) that it's the pot calling the kettle black. Yeah the forum sucks right now. Yeah there's lots of shitty posts and shittier posters. What can be done about it? Not make threads like this do what you can to improve the quality of the forum by responding to things with more than just meme.jpg and meme.gif.

There is nothing to talk about here. It's just going to end up as exactly what it is right now, bickering for the sake of bickering.

You're not that great of a contributor either btw so not sure why you think you can tell me what I can and can't post.

It was supposed to be a debate, before you started swinging around your epeen :roll: Basically what neon said.

I don't see how this makes this thread shit though. If you don't like the bickering, and if you think it's shit you don't have to look at it. It's that simple, some people like to discuss things to create a good viewpoint for all of us, in hopes it will change. You're just being pessimistic :)

Also, points like "I never said he was trolling retard" are very invaluable to the forum too. There is no need to add the extra retard, as it only creates a sense of dislike in the person your talking to. Most people should learn how to debate and discuss instead of throwing these 'sentence enhancers' in.

I have to agree with what Neon has said. It really saddens me to see the forums devolve like this, away from intellectually stimulating discussions and opting into dick comparing contests and flexing some "superiority" through insults. Regardless to the status Popfor or Neon may have acquired for themselves, they have a point. With or without the hypocrisy, there is a message, one which I have to agree with.

The thing which irritates me the most is this lack of saying the truth even if it isn't the truth you want to say. Bending the truth to fit your side, or going so far as to willing lie about something. Do whatever you want in game, it's free like that; but when it comes to the forums, changing numbers to deface your enemies or to flex some strength you don't have, that should stick out of it. Until everyone can start exercising that, perhaps coherent discussions can be attained. How hard is it to just be honest?

I wish people would also tend to stray away from unnecessary insults and bad attitude in general

I hope to see insightful input on this topic.
