[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

Well i'm missing about 400 posts all from the FOC Thread that got deleted.

[plokoon9619]

Yea where is my moderator powers

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

thy pming Evader, Fos and Cain one of them should restore them but you were just a Game moderator weren't you?

[Kelathin]

there is alot of work to be done to fix pff

[z3r0x]

Evader has not gotten back to me.. on this. So either he is bz or overwhelmed at the moment.

[Cain]

On what?

 

Also linking avatars does not seem to work

[Juggernaut1985]

Worked for me when I linked to my avatar on LoW.

[Cain]

Cool - btw if someone makes a cool PFF gif banner - or whatever I will let him post in the right corner on it "By his_name" ... anyone?

[Dorkthehunter]

I think it's about time that Dorkthehunter posted here...

 

Anywho...I was thinking about leaving when the forums were reset. Just because of the fact that a lot of good threads and things were deleted, and people were so busy fixing the forums and what not, that I could just leave unnoticed. But then I realized that that would be no fun! And so here I am...still here. At my computer. Typing this. (that was a bunch of fragments) I lost like 200-300 posts, but I don't really care about post count.

 

Anywho....a "new" forum should have some new changes. I would like it if people would post more in the fan fiction section, as I seem to be the only one who even cares about that forum. Even if it is just a short comment on one of the stories, it still means a lot for people to comment on your work. I'm sure that modders like comments(negative and positive)on their works(but not too much negative)...so writers should get a little more appreciation around here.

-Dorkthehunter(the 53rd coolest guy at PFF)  ;D

[Mikan Cyclone]

53rd?  You should re-evaluate your status in the upwards direction.  Or downwards if your like me in that sense

 

I'm suprised I didn't leave.  Whenever forums have a wipe or whatever is usually me cue to leave.  But, I've met so many awesome people here, that I just don't want to leave, unless asked to.

 

Also, dork, I am working on a BIG personal fanfiction project, so if things go right, you won't be the only one posting in that section of the forums

[VZaknaril]

I too have a love of the fanfiction section.  I will continue to be more active there than I have.  I was actually getting into that short story that was going on about the Rebellion fleet that was jerked out of hyperspace (can't remember the name of the guy that wrote it)!

[Jedi Master Tofu]

Many people were inclined to leave, including me. But by far this is the best forum you will ever see. Moderators keep it clean of profanity and it is easy to navigate, making it the best.

[Controller]

agrees with everything that guy said.

 

-AT-AT Controller(52ed coolest guy on PFF)

[Kelathin]

Who's first coolest guy?

[Controller]

err one of the admins i guess. he doesnt like to show his face only the his councel of coolness knows who he is and that 2-6 on the coolness ranks

[Kelathin]

wow....  So where does dragonshadow and fosh fall in coolness?

[Controller]

well as far as i know there on the council of coolness maybe even number 1

[Dorkthehunter]

well as far as i know there on the council of coolness maybe even number 1

 

Dude....the whole 53rd coolest person on PFF was a joke.  :  I know I am the coolest guy on PFF.  ;D

 

Anywho....I don't even know what the heck is back on topic. We were talking about messed up avatars, then Cain asked if someone could make a cool PFF gif banner, and then I talked about fan fics. Something about that is probably on topic. But not about the cool rankings.(I think)

[Controller]

i thought you hunted down people who think...

and i know it was a joke.

[Cain]

Maybe we should start a topic on how we could improve our PFF home? Nothing fancy - we still want to be unofficial ... but something that we actually need ... so what do we need?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

1. A better banner.

2. a coloured skin.

3. Regular Database back ups.

[Kelathin]

daily backups

fanfics

better advertising of things like xfire competions

[Dorkthehunter]

If you have a moderator for each section(ie: games, fan fics, bar, general/expansion discussion, news, mods, and then some universal administrators or moderators that reside over everything). I know we have most of those, but with the forums being reset and a lot of old mods being gone, I don't know how many we have left.

 

Also, we need someone(or more than one) to publicize PFF online, during games and what not. The idea was talked about by ZeroGravity, but as he hasn't been here for a while, the idea died. Having more people online(especially on EAW)would help other people who care about the game and have opinions about the expansion to come to the forums. Just giving someone an official title would help. Ambassador of PFF sounds better than member of PFF to someone unfamiliar to the forums. If they could help build relations with other clans out there, that would be even better.

 

The things that Kelathin and Thrawn said are also good ideas.

Btw...@AT-AT: I don't hunt down people who think. It's the people that are smart and think that are the problem.  ;D Like I always say: "Don't let logic get in the way of a good idea"

[VZaknaril]

I agree that publicity is needed.  I linked to this forum on mine in a post of mine and when many of my members saw this forum they asked "who is that?".  Gswift, a member of my clan is who quite active on LucasForums, said "yeah I used to go there but there was never any new posts".  I played in the PFF games on Sunday and I believe that more involvement in the game online is probably needed from members of this forum.  At any rate, I am definitly a supporter of this forum, so I'm more than happy to do anything I can to help!
