And an upgrade to SMF v1.1.4

Let me know if anything breaks

OK heres the idea, what if we get users to design a PSP and PS3 theme dealing with Petroglyph? The top three rated themes that satisfy most of us or the one that gets voted the highest wins. What if you don't have a PSP? Ah most people should have them and if not then well its an idea after all. So should we attempt to try to get people to make EAW,FoC,UaW or just plain old Petroglyph Themes or even retro Westwood? Thoughts?

Have I missed anything important?

1. In order to be inducted one must: Be nominated. (duh) That's the easiest step.

2. Then we need to come up with a list of achievements that the person accomplished while at the forums.

3. Then a group of people(either us in the Maw or the entire forums)will vote on if they have done enough to deserve being enshrined into the Hall of Fame.

4. If the person is not at the forums anymore, we should try to e-mail or make contact with them to see if they would come back for one post, like an acceptance speech. Or they could e-mail one of the members their "speech" and they could post it. Either way would be fine.

My nominations are: Swiftdraw, Darkmark, and Stellar Magic.

Anytime you have to PM a user a warning or warn them publically, please post here so newer mods, or mods who didnt see or hear about it will know that this user has a history, and if they repeat again there will be a consequence.

If a user is a second time, offender edit their original posts and under the "Times Warned:" column edit it to say "2" and then under "Explain Why:" add the second reason. And third time and so fourth.

Maybe we should adopt a 3 times your out policy for normal rule breaking, but when neccesary this can be brocken so the user can directly go to banned. I think we should update site rules accordingly.

Here is the format to add a user to the list:

User Name:

Warned or Banned:

Times Warned:

Explain Why:

Anyone who sees it fit can edit this format at anytime =) I just thought I would go ahead and create this baby .

if you guys need to talk catch me on between 2000hrs and 22 hours friday, sat or sunday.

Saracen is busy working on developing a website For PFF.

So.. We need to know the following things...

What Colour do you want the site to be?

The Current Stuff is just a general Template for what the page will look like.

I'm going to be working on a PFF Banner Later Today too.

I just generally need a break away from this community, if people need to contact me my email is 438214@swansea.ac.uk

I'm going to be ignoring my normal account for this week.

Dr Nick pmmed me them yesterday. so here we go add the one appropriate on any Forums you can think of.

Deorientate the site make it the Multi games site that we need it to be. Diversify the topics. Merge the EAW group with the Games area group. and as much as it pains me to say it make a special Star wars area then de-Star Wars the rest of the Forums.

encourage everyone who comes here to advertise the Multi gameness of the Forum.

i know that these are some what extreme measures but if we are to save the Forum then they must be done.

It MUST be done to save this Forum from the inevitable decline and death, that we can see coming.

ok the structural changes that maybe nessecary-

EAW+UAW+ Petro Devs Down to one sub section (FOsh doing anyway later today)

Holonet News renamed. + cleaned up to be less Petro yay. plus add all hosted games news to it. E.g. when new vids are out (like we did with EAW/FOC)

Games Arena Moved to top and EMPHASISED!

SCI-FI universe stays but we gain say a Fantasy and general sub section as well.

Modding Area gets diversified to more than just M2:TW and EAW/FOC

Jedi Mastering Labs renamed from the Star Wars name.

Merge Star Wars orientated topics into the Star Wars Libary.

these changes may take a long time but as ive said i believe they are need to save the forums.

The idea was thrown out by Sonic of Petro-Gamers.com when I started talking about it in the CL section on PF.

Green=Moderator

Blue=Global Moderator

I noticed PK's was the same thing and was wondering if now all moderators are global moderators or if you decided that blue was cooler than green.

Can people please link to the subforum for the news on every site they belong to using the sig above?

Thanks.

Company of Heroes got outvoted 4 to 7.

Medieval Total War II was tied 6 to 6, so I figured we would just keep what we have on it, but not expand any more(dunno why we would need to)

KOTOR games got voted in 7 to 3.

Spore barely made it by, 6 to 5. We would probably just keep what we have on that as well.

So CoH I guess will not have a sub-forum, but there could be threads about it in Master of Games. MTW II and Spore would probably stay how they are right now.(dunno if we should make a Total War forum with all the games each being a subforum...but don't think that's smart as the interest in the older ones is dying) The question is KOTOR. Do we make a forum for KOTOR in general, with I, II, and III(rumors)being the sub-forums?

Keep up the voting,

I'm updating the PFF boards set up for P02.  Its more organised into games now.  We have a large EAW Section of the board now, that will change as I move stuff into being children of other boards.

Anyways, im back! 

The Title says it all.

Every PG Community site is set to be getting Exclusives about P02.

With further exclusives going to the popular P02 Supporting websites.

So I think we need to start getting ready for P02 news.

Maybe finally get a website sorted.

I'll talk to Spartan about the possibility of one of their guys making us a main webpage for us to put some information on with direct admin.

What do you guys think?

The Entire Network is still under Construction.

Here is an overview of the Network's Plans and Setup.

We have 2 Network Directors:

Cobra and Myself- We are the owners of the Petroglyph Nexus Modding Network.

We have so far 1 Network Administrator which is Swiss Knight, he is one of the hosting Managers responsible for Support for EAW Related Mods.  In the future we will hire more Administrators for the EAW Section if it takes off and we will also be requiring Admins for the P02 Section of the Network when that goes live.

We will be looking for Staff for the actual Main Site and also moderators for the forums.

PG Nexus is a site run by the community, for the community.

 

We are run by a number of Mod and Community Leaders and our main goal is to help direct the community. Mediate conflicts between teams to ensure that the community recieves quality mods by everyone instead of rushed releases to show off a new unit or piece of coding.

 

We are primarily aiming to build a stronger and more tightly knit modding community for Petroglyph.

Please note if I see any Power Plays or bickering I have no problem with banning people for a length of time depending upon the level of flaming/ bickering.

That includes staff..

You guys have to remember.  You are the Mod Leaders of the community.  You represent the community as a whole.  Not everyone sees the entire modding community.  They may see a news release on Moddb or on one of the other site and go to look further.  If they see flaming then they are probably going to want to leave as soon as possible.

Please act in an orderly manner thats all I ask.  And if you are getting angry at something on the board there is something called a report button!!  You don't always have to go steamrolling in   I learned it the hard way as certain people in this community know.

Please do not link to the boards,  At the moment they are still under Development and not live to the community at large.

In these topics post:

1. Anything planned for the week(events, previews, screenshots to be posted, etc)

2. New info that comes out during the week so that all of the mods/admins are informed

3. Spamming members or a spam thread

4. Suggestions to help the forum

5. Issues that arise during the week

6. Propositions for new Moderators

Think of this as a Mock Congress session(or Parliament, or whatever). It's the leaders coming together and discussing upcoming things for the week, and then addressing issues and whatnot that comes up during the week. It will make sure that we are all on the same page in terms of what's happening at PFF, the future direction of the forums, issues that we run into, etc. The biggest goal of this is for the leaders to talk to each other, and to make sure that the forums are going to survive. I remember back when the mods used to talk to each other and the forums were happy and excited, and want to bring back the "good old days".

It's quite clear now - we cannot compete with PF without a fight so we will avoid that by evolving our self’s. As you may well remember EAW has a limited fan base and due to the new RTS games coming on the market this year ... and they will make that fan base to be even lower. That's why we created the games section.

PF will never have a large representation for other games on their forums so we still hold an advantage no matter if they now have the full force of their graphic artists to help with the forum layout.

There are hopes for P-02 but once C&C3 gets out ... well P-02 will be in a lot of trouble because when I've seen the C&C3 presentation I got goose bumps. It scared me so cool and original it looked ... just wait and see.

I intend to give our new forums a nitro boost coming from Spore new pictures and info’s. It will take me some time to work on that but they will come. I will do that after we restructured our self’s and maybe get a new skin.

After that the plan is simple - we will evolve based on our experience and we will keep contacts with different developers until we become something very cool. How cool ... well I want us to make previews/reviews for games. But until then I just want to have fun and talk about all the games we like.

I'm not sure you remember but once SAGE requested when he first become CM that the Petro Devs should not have admin powers. So I will follow that and remove those powers letting only moderator ones except for Mike. Seems fair - if I leave them these powers while we move to other games and meet other developers we can have problems convincing them to join.

I could name 5 sometimes 6 mods/admins that visit the Maw on a regular basis. Look at the list. We should have a lot more than 6 visiting the Maw (and posting)! That's ridiculous! I wish I could send this as a PM to all mods/admins, but I don't have time or know how to do that. We need to have leaders that work together to make the forums better. (Look at my post in the "Meeting Topic" thread in the Maw for more details on how we can work better together)
