Title: My Forum *Revised*
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on October 15, 2011, 07:40:27 PM
Created a year ago

It was dead from February to July, in July I did lots of changes to it. Including fixes to sections and inclusions of new and different sections.

Now it is ready to be posted again

 http://ra2rctforums.freeforums.org/index.php (http://ra2rctforums.freeforums.org/index.php)

This will be the first place I will be posting about this, I also plan about giving news of its existence to RCT-3.org, My Youtube account and some other websites.

Now we have... 3 or 4 RA2 forums... Badnik made one forum in the past.

Isn't this the one that gave ACAMS a virus?

^^

IMO, we do not need other forums. More forums divide up the community and, seen as we don't have too many people anyway, this is a bad idea. Just some food for thought.

Anyone else think how unethical it is to post the link to the GTM image host on another forum about the same subject?

Would it be inappropriate for me to say I agree?

...Not really. Maybe it has to do with me having a very light ethics code. You meant something about hypocrisy ?

Anyways, this forum is pretty much an attempt at a "GTM lite" or just "GTM 2".

In the past, attempts have been done at this already, I remember at least two. However, i will not blame that forum for it's unethicality, but for it's shortsightedness.

1- As a single, small community about a single game, we don't need to be divided. One forum is fine.
2- I... don't think GRW has the charisma to draw many people in his forum except some of the newfags.
3- This will fail. Seriously what is the point of having two forums on the same topic ?
4- The mods aren't even chosen based on skill and experience, GRW seems to accept anyone who wants to be mod. This tells me bad things on GRW's experience as an admin.
5- Purple on dark grey might be cool, but it is unpractical to read, as NC pointed out.
6- As if it wasn't obvious enough and as if I didn't told it already, this is just a less complex, less useful ripoff out of GTM seriously. Why go there, apart because GRW has power fantasies about being an admin ?

Not at all..

Its not right to copy another forum and then instruct everyone to use the formers resources rather then supplying your own..

Not that I have a problem with other Robot Arena based forums being created, if you want to do it you need to sink the $$ in just like ACAMS does every year..

Hmmm, I've always been wondering - how much does this domain name cost?
Title: Re: My Forum *Revised*
Post by: Gazea2 on October 16, 2011, 01:37:23 PM
On my school racing team website that I designed ([/bragging]) the domain name cost £5-10 (can't really remember) for two years.

Anything of this forum was totally removed from my forums and a new background was installed.

New background looks cool.

Who the hell do you buy domain names from anyway? Say I wanted to make a sie called vgfyreuwiskxnchfjskandhfgfdkslkdfngjkfdjhfg.com....

And why the hell does anyone need two RA2 forums? The last time that was successful was when this place was created before the official forums were shut down.

But, I still wanna be a moderator. :coolface
