So it would appear that lately, the Common Room has gotten entirely out of control. Obviously. I've been meaning to address it for a while now, but haven't had the time to really devote my full attention to it (a single lad can only do so much).
I'm taking care a bit of it now, but this weekend I'm going to go in and sweep it clean, it and just polish up that entire forum entirely.
I'll be posting again in a day or two, but for now hang tight, and I'm sorry that things have gotten out of hand.

Don't get rid of all the topics in the CR though. Just most of the "[insert name here]....." topics and a few others.
[EDIT] And change my name back dangit! D:<

this is why you're my hero.
kk anon makes a good point. We need a dedicated nerd to handle the cr at all times. Which is difficult because the only people that would have enough time or care enough to do so are part of the problem. lol paradox.

Only in the common room, if anywhere. Anyway, I know this isn't about spamming. I already explained it to you, so chill.

GL DIDN'T ask me. I don't know about the other two, he probably did ask WD, but he didn't ask me.

Posted 28 September 2008 - 04:18 PM
And you're gonna be real pissed when in like an hour Aqua comes at and says "ya, it was me, me and Chris are just fucking with you all." But I bet you think you're soooo right eh?
Okay, go with it.

Shit dude, when I actually am right, it feels os much more satisfying knowing that you're maknig a fool out of yourself. Me and aqua, we're PM'ing each other right now about how easily fooled you are. Sorry man.

If you guys don't stop or at least seriously tone it down, I will have to have a conversation with GL and the moderators about the feasibility of getting the situation under control. The reality is that once the revamped site goes up, it is intended to be archival quality, and the forum is really just icing on the cake at that point. I've often said I'll leave the forums up as long as they are visited, but the implicit understanding there was "visited" meant "visited for useful discussion, with at least some tangential relation to GS."

Although, don't take my response here to mean that I intend to close the forums. On the contrary, I'd like to keep these forums open for as long as possible to keep this community alive. Just don't tempt fate and don't push me or GL too far. Not to put pressure on him, but if GL joins Nick and I in semi-retirement, that wouldn't bode well for the future of these forums.

That's been happening for a while I think. Starting to slow down if you ask me.
But then again nobody ever listens to me.

And Skidz, it really isn't very smart to see how far you can go with something. Especially if it involves an admin or moderator.
And I agree with Nos for once.

GL has almost stopped trying because he knows he can't manage this situation alone. Back in the day we had a whole team of staff keeping things under control, but even without them the forum could have run itself off the maturity of its members alone. Because that's the other reason why this place is in the dumps. Four years down the track, we've lost our community. Now that all of the cool kids have left nobody really takes the discussion seriously.
It's almost inevitable. The rate of leaving or inactive members far exceeds that of the ones who join and stay for more than a week. The only reason anyone came here in the first place was to talk about Golden Sun, and they stayed because we had a fun and productive community. Neither of those are applicable any more. Let's face it, GSSF is stuck in a downward spiral and it doesn't look like stopping any time soon.
So what are we going to do about it?

Though nobody will care now about any of the stuff I said in this post.
Ah well, I'm off to make my leaving topic now...
#92
Posted 29 September 2008 - 11:47 AM
I come to find all this?
Seriously guys. And yes, I don't think I need to repeat what Max and Diddy and others all mentioned, things have just gotten absurd. I honestly gave it my all, especially since becoming an Admin, but it's just too much, I don't even know how I manage to spend as much time as I do here with college work starting to pile up. It's more out of havit that I still come to GSSF, something I've come to rely on and enjoy for 5 years, and I'm not at all upset about that. I just hate to see it all accumulating like this.
