@welshbloke, What you should have done is : Copy and paste my previous post, and add (append) your id in the last row. Something like this : List of player who wanted a NEW General Discussion forum in addition to the forum we had right now : vGInfidel zukaus deftangel apujanata welshbloke
@deftangel, I think it would be a good idea to put a roster of player who agreed to have a new forum. Let me start with a simple list, which we could add overtime by every player who agree to it adding their own name in their post : List of player who wanted a NEW General Discussion forum in addition to the forum we had right now : vGInfidel zukaus deftangel apujanata
Well I sent an e-mail though I hope KultofCows doesn't get flooded with them as it's likely to be counter-productive.
I suggested a drop in forum solution like phpBB or vBulletin would be relatively quick to implement and could be cultivated to match the site's look & feel by someone who's a dab hand at CSS. I'm sure there are enough here to pick a few moderators to run it.
On a related note, it'd be good to hear from KoC about what the craic is with the sites and what (if any) the future plans are. Have any of the more long term members attempted to get in touch? I can only imagine he's busy with another project but it would be a shame to see things drift too much here, there was a lot of momentum around TSE when I joined.
I agree 100%, I don't want this idea pushed aside. It seems several other TSE veterans are also behind a new forum, although I wish we had more support. I've found the best way to get things done here is to contact the admins directly. I think if we are going to see any serious changes here we all have to voice our concerns here.
I want to draw attention again to the desire for a General Forum where discussion can be of a less serious and games related nature to run alongside our current system.
So many times have i seen ideas being proposed, a few people add their support, and eventually the thread dies, nothing more is said until months later and the same thing repeats. Ultimately nothing is changed, i dont want that to happen here with this issue.
To see what i mean look at a few of the posts underneath this one. If we don't pursue an idea it will never come to fruition.
Worldwide to date the PS2G was at ~50 million at week 100. The WiiG is at ~62 million at week 100.
"In 100 weeks of sales in each of the three regions, Wii generation sales are up over 20% from PS2 generation sales in the same time frame in each region"
It goes into much much more depth. They even throw out this quote: "Gaming doubles every two generations…usually because the level of realistic interaction is increased. The last doubling generation was SNES to PS1 (80m SNES & GEN to 150m PS1/N64/Saturn) when the industry went “3D”."
@zukaus, I suggested exactly this 1-2 years ago! People were against it. I certainly hope this time people will be in support of it. Thanks for bringing this issue up.
