Please give your comments suggestions and flames regarding week one of our little operation here.
Dude : You (and those working with you on this site , ofcourse) deserve a solid platinum medal for this job.
And then I'm not even taking into consideration , there's still some stuff in the works...
I think it is going well. The pickup has been slow, but I think that's a good thing. I would rather see this place build up as an organic board in its own right than be forced into doing so. That's why although I understand Bullitt's attempt to drum up traffic here, I would rather not see a bunch folks come crashing through the doors just because. Let everything build naturally and hopefully we will get a great, open community here unlike any other.
Very promising start. :)

Ditto.
I also think that it's fine not having all features at the start. It lets us get used to them one at a time.

Ditto! This isn't Nothingland, this isn't a cheesy ENWorld ripoff -- it is its own thing, and deserves some time to grow. :)
it's only been a week? :D
I love it thus far. RPGsite > ENworld, at least for my purposes.
What they said! I love the place, and hope it continues to prosper!
It's a very well thought out site. Good work!
ditto about the "let it grow" and progressive access to features.
A really nice start. There has been some little things I didn't like but I'm much more focused on what I like so I'm not really worried (plus, most of what could been solved has been).
I'm pretty sure there will be other things I won't like, from the users or the features or whatever else. But you know what ? This place is useful to me, the admins are really doing interesting stuff to build it and make it pleasant, so I won't be stupid enough to say "either this place is perfect now for me (even at the expense of everybody else) or I quit".
Most board users (including me) are quite used to be spoiled internet brats. Don't let them ruin your enthousiasm !
Thanks,
Chacal
This is one of the better constructed sites I've seen. The board looks amazing and so far the community growing here is strong. Plus for as many users that came here from the demise of Nothingland it's got a distint personality of it's own.
Only good things Pooka. I complimented you on setup before and I will again. Everything looks good and I only believe it will grow.
you're doing a great job so far pooka (and everyone else who's contributing to the site's construction). I voted option two, because there's one last bit that I'm really waiting for - the Reviews System. once that comes up, i'm happy as a pig in shit.
Well, I don't know if it's better than Cats, but the place does have a good vibe to it.
Quote from: cranberryWell, I don't know if it's better than Cats, but the place does have a good vibe to it.
I do!
But I hate the song "Memories". :)
I am very pleased with it. I think there is great potential with this site.
I think things are looking pretty good. Anxious to see how the community evolves!
Very happy with it and glad to be a member!!

the definitive version of Memories.
Troll like Cats.

Troll proud of hygiene.
Ok, ok big guy. As Snarfles the Comedy Insult Cat says, 'I kid, I kid - I joke, I joke'
I've very much enjoyed things around here, and appreciate all the things that Xalmoxis pointed out around here. I think the place has a good vibe, and will be happy to hand out and watch things grow.
Keep up the good work, but don't work so hard that you get sick of the place.
Quote from: CyberzombieI do!
But I hate the song "Memories". :)
You do have a point.
Quote from: TrollTroll proud of hygiene.
It's all relative, I suppose.
I have to say, I like haveing a forum just for my RPG stuff. keeps me focused when I'm here.
Like the whole leveling up idea, for Avatars that grow in size, and sigs. Dislike it when it cripples useful features like PM's and Polls, etc.
The place is comfy. I'm eager to see how it will evolve.
While I don't spend very much time here currently I really like the lay out and features here. Maybe once my WoW newishnish ends and I stop reading up stuff on it I'll have a bit more time and spend more here. But good job guys. Keep up the good work.
We like being able to talk about game systems other than D&D/d20 without having to go to a messageboard where we do not know anyone. We like this a lot.
Quote from: TrollTroll use cats as bath brush.
oi!:mad:
you KNOW I hate it when you do that...:(

apart from that, I like it, pooka. I miss the NTL drama and roughness, but I really like the people on here and the boards themselves, with the excellent background, the growing privileges, the user names etc., I really like. keep it up! and thanks!

i guess we do need an adult forum, wink wink nudge nudge

I haven't been here much (having a hard time keeping up with ENWorld, SO, Nuttest, and this place), but I think I'm gonna be here more often. I'll probably end up scrapping Nuttest.
Quote from: BOZi guess we do need an adult forum, wink wink nudge nudge
I would really prefer that we have no adult forum. I would like this place to remain friendly to any younger gamers, at least as long as they don't act like asshats. :D
Plus SO will more than cover the pr0n fix, especially once they get the new server and space is no longer an issue.

Good choice. :D
Quote from: CyberzombieGood choice. :D
I'll second that.
While I was miffed at first (I'm used to all the VBulletin goodies at my fingertips), my appreciation of this place has grown by leaps and bounds. Never thought I'd see a good alternative to ENWorld but Pooka, you have proved me wrong, to my delight. You even got me actually talking about gaming instead of trying to come up with the best punchline for everything.
I guess this means my days as the witty, one-liner spewing Message Board Smart-Ass are over... :(
-SJ
why do you say that? :D
and my "request" for an adult forum was not meant to be taken seriously.
I am glad to see Boz here, and hope that the other good posters from EN World poke in here from time to time too.
Quote from: ZalmoxisI am glad to see Boz here, and hope that the other good posters from EN World poke in here from time to time too.
We think that, since Boz is effectively tied for the second most posts on the board, that he is doing more than poking his head in. We expect a furniture delivery on Monday.
But we also hope that the RPG Site does get interest from a certain, select segment of the ENWorld populace.

there definitely are some worthwhile folks there. :) i mean, you may be talking like a few dozen out of a few thousand... ;) nah, seriously, the list of people i have a problem with over there is far smaller than the list of people i have no problem with.
shouldnt we be on week 2 or 3 by now??
Quote from: SatyrSpeaking on behalf of my kind we take smut very seriously. :)
Troll take honor, beer and smut. In no particular order.
Quote from: Reefer Madnessshouldnt we be on week 2 or 3 by now??
No - we will always be in week 1. We will always be forever young.
Quote from: PookaNo - we will always be in week 1. We will always be forever young.
Do not say that too loudly. One of the particularly evil voices in our head likes to do karioke and would be all too eager to sing "Forever Young"...

Are you saying there's something wrong with Alphaville?
Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in the sand pit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders for getting in tune
The music's played by the
the mad man
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever
who'll never
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever young
Quote from: DackeAre you saying there's something wrong with Alphaville?
No, we are saying there is something wrong with us singing it. Very wrong.
We have a story about singing redcaps.
The last time we heard a redcap sing, it was just after it had completed the slaughter of a small village in northern canada. The heads of his victims were all neatly piled in a circle around a 4-foot wide and rather tall circle of entrails.
He was dancing around it, singing that song from Titanic, and alternately screaming about how the villagers deserved it for foisting Celine Dion upon the world.
We had much sympathy for that poor redcap, that day.

Fair enough.

that
is evil. of course, i was thinking the Rod Stewart song... *shudders*
Quote from: EshuHe was dancing around it, singing that song from Titanic, and alternately screaming about how the villagers deserved it for foisting Celine Dion upon the world.
We Redcaps are very sensitive to the evils that exist in the world. We don't like the ones that we aren't causing ourselves, you see.
We wanted to do something similar over Avril Lavigne, but we thought it was too derivative. But when we do think up a suitable vengeance, the dirt streets of backwater Canada will run red with blood...
I think Weird Al got you on this one, when I saw him in concert and he sang "Why'd I go and have to get myself decapitated" it changed the way I hear Avril forever. :)
This site is most appealing visually. I absolutely love this skin. It's very easy on the eyes. I'm confused as to what the little green dot is for, is there a rep system here?
And although I've played rpg's for a good portion of my life, I still consider myself new to it. So when I get organized I will need some advice on where I should take my rogue/psychic warrior. :confused: I've never played these classes and have no idea what to do with them. I've only ever played wizards and druids and decided to branch out into the unknown.:eek:
There is a rep system, but you must have a certain number of posts before you can give rep.
There are a few things I'd like to see.
Images for signatures allowed.
Images in blogs or story hours allowed to be hotlinked or shown instead of the crappy little link.
Oh, and recently the link hasn't been showing when something is uploaded. You might want to check, there might be 2 or three copies of a picture I tried to upload today.

When I voted on a poll, I got switched to this thread, with the poll in top. It was bizarre.
-clash
It would be helpful if you would provide links to the polls you are using and the time.
Mine was in the "personal feelings of D&D" poll. I just posted a reply to the thread again to test and it worked fine. That misplaced post has also made it back into the proper slot.

Yeah, I moved it back after some deduction.
