No, I'm not remaking GTM. :P I'm starting my own RA2 forum using Invisionfree. It's not up yet, but it will be probably within the week. I don't intend to be a ripoff of GTM, but RA2 needs more than one forum. I mean all the old forums went down the drain except GTM.
The forum probably won't be as popular and it's not really it's own site (because of invisionfree), but hey everything needs a start.
I also need a couple moderators before it goes up. Volunteers would be appreciated. They need to be able to be on the forum on a somewhat regular basis. I only need a couple.

If anyone wants to join and/help out I'd appreciate it.
Wish for your support,

-Reier

Why do we need more than one forum?

Reier · « **Reply #2 on:** December 09, 2009, 04:53:26 PM »

Cause I want to make one. It's not a competition or anything.
I mean why did Aceuplink, the official forums, and GTM exist at the same time?

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 09, 2009, 04:59:31 PM »

Competition.

Besides this isn't like the Wizforum. ACAMS had no control over that forum when it went down but for this forum, he does.

Also, were you around for inf and kill's robot refuge? :P

GTM will be better than my forum will ever be.
I've wanted to start a forum for a while anyway, and what should the topic be anyway which isn't common anymore.
I'm not trying to be a rival forum, this is just for fun. What's the big deal?

I was not pissed because they started the forum because everybody always wants their own web site and forum, it was the way they announced it that kinda got me.

Reier · « **Reply #7 on:** December 09, 2009, 06:17:10 PM »

How did they announce it?
BTW don't take this the wrong way ACAMS, I <3 GTM.

The community was considerably larger in the days of AU, B4B, RA-R, RFS, and the countless other fansites. Having your own site can be cool, but don't take it hard if you don't get much activity.

if your keen to have a forum perhaps have it as just one for new ideas or discussions for n00b warz or something ?? perhaps a n00b warz showcase's for people to constantly showcase old robots ithout the expectation of comments to improve them or call them stupid ?

I have a small one on my site robotarena.info but its basically just a guest book for people to add suggestions for themes and clash cubes nothing to special as this site covers everything else

frezal · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2009, 10:22:04 PM »

Oh, and don't worry about moderators until they're absolutely needed. Bloated government sucks.

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2009, 06:16:51 AM »

Not a good idea.

And yes, competition.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2009, 06:35:25 AM »

I sence confusion in you young Reier, A new Forum, Path to the Dark side it is,

Reier · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2009, 08:38:41 AM »

Well what SHOULD be the topic then? I don't want it to be your generic boring forum about a common theme.
I don't want just a gaming forum, that would be bleh. A few random games I like thrown together? Bleh. IDK if you guys have some good suggestions as an alternative I'm open to ideas.

ACAMS: nawt funneh

JB: Yeah but that will get like 2 posts and will be very small.
But it is a fallback. And I'm sure it will be small anyway.

But I even made a logo...

Way too much bevel.

Good grief we are a nit-picky bunch...
