does the game break if you put the perm on an axle so it can swing? that might be kool.
Looks sick. feels like how mudrunner should be.
definitely this but also wondering what the bot would be like as an axe/hammer type as well but i really like it

ohh right okay now i think i remember where i was going. i agree with some of the forum reorganization related stuff, i posted a map of sorts as a suggestion myself in the other thread. the ra3 thing i disagree, collapse the middle two sub forums but leave it be. idk. just read my post in the other thread i guess.
i like the wiki thing too.
the admin thing and the website thing can be left as is. it's not something that's a huge deal, so long as we have one active admin and the websites still work. you don't need an army to police a quiet village. society isn't crumbling over here
oh, reputation. is that what happened? someone went through and kind of just flipped through all the positive rep in the forums for the last year and tossed out what they considered 'spam'? so many more important things that could be done. and spam, as it seems most people on this forum define it, seems to be 'anything i don't immediately like, or that might be a joke'... so what has screwing with the system achieved but mildly annoying some people and confusing others? put it back and let it be or don't have it at all, being a weird little puke about such meaningless nonsense is the kind of sh** that drives people away q.e.d.
and not to do something that i absolutely hate but: this could probably be mashed together with the other thread that was having the same exact discussion... ew. don't make me post like that

There's also the problem with the forum being flat out boring. There's no drama or huge forum reactions for the most part anymore, it's usually just "oh that's nice" and then you move on with your day. Last bit of drama I remember was RA3's release, and even then it was more so criticism of GI and the RA3 subforum rapidly fizzling out rather than forum drama. please tell me you didnt just cite lack of 'forum drama' for gtm going downhill. i don't think this community has lasted over a decade and a half because of an ample supply of 'drama' that is petering out. i feel like i had more to add to this but this melted my mind a little bit and im frankly unsure of where i am or why

also heres a great idea: if you report a post in the play chatter ground ****in box or whatever it should actually automatically suspend your posting ability for twelve hours instead of reporting your post to a moderator. or the report should go exclusively to one single ball-pit dedicated moderator, which may or may not be me, so i can decide whether i'll likely suspend the user who sent it for twelve hours. we have an off-topic forum, where rules already happen and what-not, check that thing out some time bad boy. thanks so, that takes care of any content politicking and moderating difficulty in your dedicated bullsh** forum. now everybody's happy. you're welcome

site news & feedback
introduce yourself (could even be a sub-forum here or off-topic. i mean who gives a sh**, really? collapse this into something. and what the **** is that forum i see and never click on where guests can post? might as well let 'em do it in this stupid subforum. c'mon yall)
ra3 discussion
mods and tech support (it's all techie sh**, one forum and sub-it if you need to keep 'em separated. there are two separate individual threads taking up entire individual forum spaces on the front page, though. clean that sh** up)
showcases
ra2 discussion
mods and tech support
--support (tutorials can be a sub-forum of support, mash installation support into general. the last post was made months ago ffs)
--mods
showcases
tournaments and contests
-- blah blah blah sub forums etc. how much room did i just save collapsing this whole box into one with sub forums under here
real robotics discussion
--user showcase
offtopic
--creative showcase
games
--development

on the topic of promoting the site and attracting new members, it's not a matter of attracting them. maybe this is super hard to believe, but there aren't a whole lot of places to chat about the things that are the subject of this message board anywhere else on the internet. the game here is presenting the forum in a better, simpler and non-intimidating way, and following that up with not being a repellent hyper-dweeb and driving people away. heaven knows if i hadn't already been posting here since the god damned millennium i wouldn't register and start posting on this forum today, and that's who you're losing. so take this advice and run with it, alright?

oh heres another idea: condense down some of the forums. whats the point of having a separate forum for music or politics or whatever when it would all fit just fine in off-topic? having one post a week in separate sub forums just makes things look dead.
forum games can dump out into the chatter box, existing games (as opposed to non-existent games, as if someone hasn't figured out the distinction) could just be games and make development a sub forum of that. throw most of what remains into off-topic and make people's personal art threads it's own little subforum of that.
and who's the compartmentalizing ocd weirdo who thought it necessary to warrant three different levels of casual discussion with different rules (i.e. off-topic, chatterbox, playground)? keep up with off topic and let the chatterbox get a little playground-y. anyone who gets agitated about a sub forum dedicated to nonsense should be run out to make room for the two better posters the jerk would've scared off, and that's positive growth. this also staves off some of the bitter, bitchy in-fighting over posting quality in each respective sub-sub-sub-catergory of "off-topic chit chat". you can post pretty much whatever you want in one, you can't do that in the other. you don't like one, post in the other. mind blowing sh**, yall.

hell, while we're at it you may as well throw online matches into sub forums of there respective game (ra2, ra3 respectively) and give real robotics the spot separate from off-topic that it's occupying to show that real robotics isn't just a thing that happens to exist alongside the community but something that is a focus of the community to draw more real life builders and robot discussion considering the sport is back on tv again. matches would be a sub forum underneath ra2 or whatever with it's four sub forums inside it.
now we look busier, our sub-boards are broader and more active, and the individual focuses of the board are each highlighted justly to make for an easier at-a-glance look for the prospective new member
capice?

on a separate note a tournament is always a good idea and if done the right way and really gets hype would at least contribute to forum morale even if it doesnt draw new membership

might be a problem that this place is super touchy now. like when people go all asperger over what is and isnt spam in a thread. or people who want to be mods or something debate the value of the post content for two pages in some type of overwrought pissy baby slap flight shtick. dudes crying and jacking each other off about people or things they don't like. its just not super inviting to regular normal people and nobody wins. i honestly sometimes hate you people hth
