Old skin discussion is here.

Everybody thank Yomama.

This is really just a suggestion. I won't petitionamagize this one, considering the only problem is bandwidth, really. So it's completely up to Gren. So let's all walk down to the IRC channel and have a chat with the man upstairs, shall we?

Anyway, if you noticed, there's a whole lotta spam gushing through the forums. Most of it is irrelevant. For instance, this topic: EvilPickel's game making expedition, starts out talking about his wanting to make a game, then goes to whether 2d games are good or not, then age discrimination, then to the presidential election. The point is, it would help tons if we just had a simple forum where we can post topics that are offtopic to Halo. And have it not be postcount-effecting.

The IRC channel is really for that, but most people here don't like IRC or can't figure it out. Not to mention the ops/hops there aren't friendly at all (from what I've heard) and I know that the regulars definately aren't.

Not to mention it'd help a lot to pull the community together. The only way to show any personality here is to either spam or go offtopic. Or make sigs. So pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease, give us a new forum. It'll be great.

i third that. its a good idea *cough*did u get the idea from my Clan [DR] site?*cough*at the bottom...*cough*

its still a good idea.

edit: jk, i kno u havent even heard of [DR]'s forums. but still, its a good idea. and i think Gren should set one up.

btw, if that counts as advertising (to the extent that i'd get in trouble), please tell me (a MODERATOR tell me) i dont wana go around gettin banned...

I never heard of that site lol, and what idea exactly? the talk about nothing thing?

Oh, and in the "Cafe" there will be NO attachments, i presume or else the bandwith will go down the drain faster than you can say

it is meant for spam, and your post count does not rise. As a sub catagory it is like

Flaming is where mods come in. If someone sees flames, pm a mod

because moderators are now firefighters? or only the active ones...
o well, i think we need one of these. for the people who have nowhere else to post their ideas or stuff like that.

Well irc is weird.
The friendly people at the forums turn to blazing flamers

I really like the off-topic idea and it not to affect the post count.

Nah, it's just that the OP/hOP's only want to talk about what they do... it's a totally unfriendly environment if you're not one of their friends.

But yeah, why not have a Cafe?

This is a really good idea.
We should really strive to get this done!

{ST} 117 · Post by **{ST} 117** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 9:15 am

this is a rele cool idea, and another thing too. ya know on each forum with this user forum theres a least 10 pages of topics. I was thinking why not introduce a 5-page limit type thing. Each forum(eg: sig testing) has 5 pages and pages after that are deleted. Only important topics might be kept etc but ther rest...no one ever looks at it.

That's not really true. It'd overall hurt the search thing, which people are already bad about doing.

You know this might be possible if...

People would help gren out and click a few of the ads on the front page!

I always do. Just don't over click them or they ban your ip (the ads site) and you won't count anymore. Just click one or two a day,
