If this is sarcastic i dont mind at all, i made the forum for oddworld fans to get beta stuff as this forum offers no beta stuff or even has the passion that most oddworld fans have anywhere else

Nepsotic 09-28-2014 09:31 AM

He sure told us.

Legendary Oddworld 09-28-2014 09:36 AM

I never made this thread to argue with anyone feel free to join if not you don't have too, just shared this for the oddworld fans

MeechMunchie 09-28-2014 09:42 AM

As an Oddworld fan, I'm deeply grateful that I finally have a forum to go to.

Legendary Oddworld 09-28-2014 09:54 AM

How do you know Kapteeni13, hes found alot of oddworld stuff like betas and that. We would never of got to see them if it wasnt for him

Varrok 09-28-2014 10:03 AM

Kapteeni has a rather ... interesting history with the Oddworld Forums. I'll leave it at that.

Ahh Wario Punk you should join our site, i find your stuff interesting

Job McYossie 09-28-2014 01:38 PM

I dunno, it has the Oddworld as a game part down, but it doesn't have the Oddworld feeling to me this place has. We have threads with Oddworld related content all over them, and though they appear unused, just about any time someone makes a thread or asks a question it's replied to with fair haste.

Varrok 09-28-2014 01:41 PM

You can be on both sites, i think you will be a great active member to our site you seem to have passion for oddworld. Am willing to listen to everyone and make changes to make it a better forum.

STM 09-28-2014 01:45 PM

I love that WoF deleted your thread so you just made another one. Some real grit and determination shown, just the kind of person I need to join my new forum, oddworldnewgameslorneowi.com

Varrok 09-28-2014 02:01 PM

Thanks, but this is the forum for me. I don't see any point joining another one.

You mean because it's shit?
This place is shit, too. But at least it's slightly less toxic to look at.

It's okay mate. If you want to go, we'll respect your decision. Follow your heart.

Stop posting about yourself, Kapteeni.

No I meant more along the lines of this place talks more about Oddworld as a world, and all I see on the other forum is Oddworld as a game.

Nepsotic 09-28-2014 09:04 PM

The fuck is Oddworld?

Xavier 09-29-2014 09:04 AM

Okay guys cut it out, we get it, you don't like the idea someone tries to set up an other forum.

Legendary Oddworld, what exactly is there lacking here that you want to achieve with your forum? I'm not sure you can have a whole forum dedicated to talking about beta or alternative versions of the oddworld games. Also why can't you create a topic on this forum to talk about it with an already established fan base?

To be fair I'm always interested in digging up videos of versions of the game prior to when they were released. For instance you can check out this section of my website:

Okay I'm in a helpful mood today, and I once started out with forums and websites just like that. So just in the remote case you're serious about wanting to learn about starting a successful forum let me give you some genuine tips.

1. Oh dear lord get rid of that background.

2. Oh dear lord get a decent header.

3. Your new forum has 25 different subforums holding 85 posts. This age old forum has been around for over 14 years, has over half a million posts and has never had more than 13 subforums. Keep it simple, stupid.

4. Get rid of the shoutbox, it defeats the entire purpose of a forum.

5. Aim for a solid niche. Oddworld isn't very big to begin with and you're aiming for something even smaller, beta's and prototypes which hardly even exist for Oddworld games and which even less people will probably have heard of.

5. Get your own domain and webhost, install a free software package like PHPBB or SMF and manage the entire thing yourself. If and when you get a solid memberbase, go for professional (paid) forum software.

The last one is probably most important. If you're not willing or able to manage your own stuff your website will never ever succeed or attract a membership. No-one (and I mean no-one) likes those free-to-set-up-subdomain websites.

Good luck on your ventures.

I remember I posted a glitch method to spawn near infinite sligs in Soulstorm Brewery and he made a video out of it, copy and pasted my exact description of it, and without so much as a mention to me that he'd made a video using it.

On Topic: I'll join this forum when Kip's Oddysee gets a demo.haha

That's perhaps the most important point. I have the feeling that whole forum could have been replaced by a couple of topics on OWF.

Legendary Oddworld 09-30-2014 01:40 PM

Am not Kapteeni13 by the way am Legendary Oddworld check me out on youtube

I never posted it here as this site does not allow you to share version of the game when i posted Abe 99 my post was deleted, There a quite alot of nice poeple here but where there are nice people there are also sarcastic unsupportive members who shoot you down when you post, I made the forum just for Oddworld fans to find all beta stuff in one place then having to search forums and as am a beta collector, Oddworld Collector and Japanese game importer i decided to share my findings with all Oddworlds fans. I did it out of good not to upset anyone here or make then angry, the forum is there as an extra, no one has to join
