And to be honest, when I saw that you'd contributed to this thread, I KNEW you'd oppose absolutely everything that's been suggested, because that's what you always seem to do.
|
And you always seem to make new accounts, so let's leave "What you always seem to"s out of this, shall we?

I think your fears about not having any common ground on which to relate to new members are baseless. Especially since you seem to spend the majority of your time in the Off Topic forum where we don't even talk about Oddworld. When was the last time you "related" to a new member by talking to him about Oddworld?

Not recently, no, but it
was the reason I joined this forum. If I was still hugely into Oddworld (Which I am, but now it's just whenever they release games) and I came to the main Oddworld forum to find that it was shared by a bunch of other games I had never heard of, I wouldn't stay long at all.

And don't think I'm just opposing you for the sake of it, it is my opinion that you've genuinely not thought any of this through before making your frank dismissal of our ideas.

Thanks for having so much faith in me.

You threatening to leave isn't going to help or slow things down any either. Since the majority seem to be in favour of some kind of radical change to really spice up the forums, I doubt that very many would leave as a result. And since the whole point is to pull in lots of new members, losing the odd couple of old members isn't really going to be much sacrifice to endure in order to really get things going again.

I wasn't threatening the forum when I said I would probably leave, I was just trying to point out that not everyone would be happy with it. And I'm all for a radical change to get this place moving, I just don't think the "indie games" one was appropriate for the
Oddworld Forums. And after all, you're allowed your opinion, I should be allowed mine.
Anyway, Alcar has said that idea isn't going ahead so I don't know why I even brought it up again.
