Dorkthehunter Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Look at the poll. What can we do in 2007 that will save the forums? I think most of us now what to do, now it's up to us to actually do it. I feel like I'm the only one that seems to want to do something about saving the forums, and have posted numerous threads about different things on the topic, and yet those are buried by threads that don't matter or are just ignored. That makes me sad. I know there are people out there(most I can name)that like these forums and want to help, and then there are others who like the forums, but are too lazy to help. Some might not know what they can do to help...let's find out: Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional. Some other members and I are trying to be superheroes and save the forums. But we can't do it on our own. We need your help!

Controller Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) of course PFF is worth saving, and i will try and help save it, but how you would go about this is Beyond me : Edited January 4, 2007 by Controller http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i276/At-At_controller/leetspeak4cz1jr.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 of course PFF is worth saving, and i will try and help save it, but how you would go about this is beonned(sp??) me :Beyond.... ;D Anywho...first off, we need people to start posting more actually about EAW or FoC(besides modding, which is doing quite well) Post strategies for online or offline play, be available for some games, or something like that. Well, we want to expand(we being the forums)and cover more games, but that hasn't worked. That's above me(I think), so I will just try to help as much as a can with the power and info that has been given to me. We also need some advertisement or something because not many new people are coming(the fact that the game is already out isn't helping) That is why supporting new games on our modest site is a good idea. Games that people have a lot of interest in. That is another thing that we need a lot of help in, something that anyone could help with. Pick a game that is coming out(soon or eventually)and research it. Look for all of the updates and whatnot of the game. When it is supposed to come out, minimum system requirements, new pictures(especially the ones that aren't on the home site of the developers), videos, FAQs, blogs from developers, etc. It is important for a forum to stay up to date and dependable for the game(s)they cover. That is one of the problems of PFF. Not many News threads have been started talking about FoC, the Patch for it, and whatnot. Any news in the EAW community most of the time does not end up here. I know the game is dying out, but the least we can do is stay with it till the bitter end(which could be soon). There are some games, like Medieval Total War 2, or Spore that have threads about them in a forum, but I think we want to expand those and make them dependable and a great place to talk about the game. If people could get in touch with developers or people like that who are making the game and see if a representative from them could join the forums, that would help big time. The PG's of PFF were great, until they all left us. > (but that's a different story) The biggest thing is to make quality posts about the games and to have lots of people making these posts so that the forums are a boring monologue of one person(or a few people)trying to promote interest. Publicity is probably the next biggest thing. Some EAW forums know about us, but we want for the big gaming forums to know PFF and respect us in good competition. That's all folks,-Dorkthehunter Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional.

Relentless Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I support the idea of making this more of a forum for all games, but the majority of people here still seem to be intrested mostly or only in RTS games. We need to make it even clearer that this is a forum for all games. If a new guy visits this place the first thing he's gonna see is a lot of subforums for EaW and only a few subforums for other games. If he isn't really interested in EaW he's gonna leave. It bring upon us more of famine, death and war, you know religion has a lot to answer for. -Steve Harris, Iron Maiden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yes, the PFF is worth Saving definately. This is the only site that i have ever had any true interest or investment in and it has built up its reputation as a good forum for chat. i think we should keep going the way we have and expand into other games like Mass Effect and other games stay as a purely chat and informational Forum, where people can go to set up Online tournaments, or just get advice from other gamers when they become stuck on a game. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Ghostly_Substance Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yes its worth saving since we still have potential to kill Ok seriously we are worth saving since theres lots of stuff here thats still of use to the EAW community. If only stayed here and actually tried posting interesting stuff we wouldn't be in this mess. Its like saying "oh look nobody's in this chatroom i'm going to lower the population by leaving. I'm not even going to try to help this community since what difference does one person make anyways." Now multiply that to the people who did leave and look at the mess we got. Not even Petroglyph forums is doing that well and theres always modding issues where nobody can work together. Its the EAW community not us and we have to fix them > . -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 @ GS: You've heard the phrase "If you can't beat them, join them" right? Well, that ain't gonna apply here as long as I'm around. We can't really beat the EAW community, and we sure don't want to join them in their death. that is why we need to expand and "join" other communities, or just make our own.

Lord_of_the_Sith Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 PFF is probably the largest and best community around featuring EAW.I have found here friends and skilled people.The loss of PFF would be the loss for the whole EAW community in the world.Save it!

Mikan Cyclone Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yup, I forced Bex back! That's proof I want to help! I guess..... Pff is worth saving. This forum has become a part of me, I guess. WOuld be hurtful if I only had to go to PF, cause they don't like me. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a245/loverdog/pffuserbar1.jpghttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i276/At-At_controller/leetspeak4cz1jr.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 PFF will remain as Long as I am here. I will NOT allow it to die. Expect to see some Juicy stuff coming to the boards in the next few months.... Thats all I'm going to say at this time. *cough*P02 Exclusives*cough* http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Might want some tea for that cough Fosh For those that care about PFF won't let PFF die but those who don't care will let PFF die, simple. For those who are not on PFF anymore don't even try to recover PFF from its semi-quiet state. For those who care about PFF are still on such as myself, Fosh, Dorkthehunter, Swgbex, Mikan, Grd. Adm. Thrawn 889, Relentless, AT-AT, Bex, Garbageben. Well basically the regulars of the forum who know this community from either when it begun or from when EAW/FoC released. What i'm saying is what we all know anyways but if your not thinking this then whatever its another thought roaming around your noggin. Why do people have to follow the devs like mosquitos after blood? -.- edit: After looking at my post I think i'm thinking in negative terms even on PF, must be because of my History class talking about Hitler and Nazi. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Why do people have to follow the devs like mosquitos after blood? -.-Because they are too busy sucking up (hahah couldn't resist ;D). Stagnation is death my friends. Adapt, we must, or die, we will. Cain had the right idea with the games subforums. My new idea was to have separate forums for major games then to have subforums with genres for threads about other games that don't have as large of a following. We could also redo a clans section. If the offer from Spartan is still up in air I say that we should at least open a thread and discuss it or vote on it. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
