Another Oddworld Forums?
 
http://oddworldfanforum.forumcommunity.net/ Damn good fan site! Looks legit! To bad it's not in english... :fuzsad:

They have more forums than members. And background music. And I need to scroll for 20 miles before I get to the forum. I think I'll stay here.

Mikaeel 11-21-2011 01:54 PM

What do they have a forum for each level?

Wow!

Jordan 11-21-2011 02:04 PM

Looks pretty neat but will never surpass these forums.

Havoc 11-21-2011 02:25 PM

Yeah. So 1993.

moxco 11-21-2011 05:07 PM

Can we have that music on these forums too?

Kinto 11-21-2011 05:10 PM

I agree. I really like their layout, most of it at least, not all of it. The site feels more immersive, in an Oddworld sense.

If this forum were to have them, then they should make the optional or make them play in certain areas.

Listening to music constantly might get annoying.

Varrok 11-21-2011 09:01 PM

Ya, know, you can silence it (there is a player at the bottom of site)... tbh I like the idea of music at forums (keep in mind it's not one-reapeating-boring-track, there are 11 here) as long as it's customizable :P

Phylum 11-21-2011 09:08 PM

Can't you just play it in Winamp or something?

Crashpunk 11-21-2011 10:08 PM

We're the original Oddworld Forums. WE STAND PROUD! (Well some of do anyway.)

Anyone who joins that forum is a Traitor.

enchilado 11-21-2011 10:31 PM

Or an Italian.

moxco 11-21-2011 10:33 PM

The original Oddworld Forums were owned by Sydney and ran on EzyBoard. Also what is the sum of do? I've been trying to calculate it for a while.

Oh yeah, I wasn't being serious about the music thing; I'm surprised people agreed though.

EDIT
Ench it's a multilingual forum, courtesy of Google Translate.

Yes, but that was still this forum. It just changed hands and format. If I got my forum history correct, that is.

There are(were) other non-english Oddworld forums besides this one, usually started by former members. They typically don't last long.

Or both!

Also, This forum is fine the way it is. Its simple and clearly devoted to Oddworld.
Plus the lack of music is a good thing, Because I can load up Itunes and play my own music :D

The Oddworldian Forums were the precursor to the Oddworld Forums - run by Sydney, the proprietor of Oddworldian.

Alcar...

Is it just me that thinks we should make contact? If for no one's benefit other than AiN's.

Indeed. I hate automatic music on any website.

Automatic music on websites is a big no-no in web design - That's one very good way to turn away viewers. And it uses tons of bandwidth. This site takes a very, very long time to load - And I'm not even on dial-up! And what's with the custom cursor?

Eurgh.

Still, another Oddworld community that looks like it's been around for some time, for non-English speakers. Good on them, but they should improve their web design for their sake.

OddChipango 11-22-2011 04:45 PM

I think that cursor is from the original Abe's Exoddus Windows 98 theme.

Havoc 11-22-2011 05:25 PM

God I remember having that installed for the briefest of times. How times have changed.

Fine then, as a compromise, since we can't have music, I would like all forum text in to be in blinking marquees.

Doesn't that just look great?

DarkHoodness 11-22-2011 07:11 PM

I know you weren't being serious but there were one or two here who probably were for lack of knowing better, so I just wanted to have my say on the matter. You were the first to mention it though. :P

Pilot 11-22-2011 07:13 PM

I'd like some background music on these forums too.

I nominate this... can someone rip the audio? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLPnI0o6dp0

moxco 11-22-2011 07:47 PM

I prefer this.

Crashpunk 11-24-2011 01:15 AM

Oh wow, I never knew about this. Ow! it hurts my eyes

fastability 11-25-2011 02:35 AM
