Irrelevant. He didn't post it in the eve.mlt section, he posted it in the discussion section.


So we can't discuss Rayman Designer.
Think about it this way: Will you policing these topics lead to a greater benefit to the forums? Or will letting people have more freedom and more social interaction as well as the main discussion lead to a greater benefit? Just like in BG, The offtopic section should be a little more free for those who are members there. It's not like people signed up to BG to talk about Off Topic, we signed up there because we're interested in hacking (yes I said hacking) Rayman Designer. Yes I know we have one topic to talk about random stuff, but that's not enough really. Off Topic IS important to build a community, and I can guarantee you, if you give people the freedom to make their own topics and just overall more freedom, there will be more activity. May I suggest a VERY good topic that should be pinned in the Off Topic section with a forum-link to it on the front page? An Introduction section. A section where people can post topics introducing themselves to the forums, and we can welcome them too. One of the main factual reasons why most of the users who joined haven't even posted is because they have nowhere to begin, there's nothing to get them going, mind you I am making tutorials, but they need to feel welcome.
As far as I know, I'm not really sure why, but you haven't taken a single one of my suggestions into consideration. Now I'm not going to be modest with myself because that never got anyone anywhere real, but nine out of ten people agree with my suggestions, and you should listen to the community and take things into consideration and actually add to the forum what the members would want, not how you think you want it to work to the bane of everyone else if you want to keep up a good forum and attract more users. You've also tended to just brush off suggestions saying "No, my idea's better and that's how it stays", when in all truths and reality, that's not how we see it. How could it possibly be a better idea if almost all of us don't agree with it? Uness of course everyone but you is a complete nut.
Now I've had a good time there, but it's been two years and we only have a few users posting constantly. Notice how after a while users just stopped posting? I talked to Strongsad and he said he felt you were being too strict and closed (not-open) so he didn't feel like he really had a home there anymore, as well as him planning for University. I think he's 17 now? but anyway, I HOPE you take these things into consideration for the good of Us.
EDIT:
I just noticed something, how could you call me arrogant? If anyone's being arrogant, it's you not listening to
anyone. I've been giving useful ideas for two years, and you've rejected every single one of them, and you subliminally mock them whether you realize it or not. For example, I made a set of emoticons based on what I saw could have been used in certain situations and moods, but there wasn't enough emoticon variety. I presented them to you, and you replied with a new emoticon you just stuck in there, basically telling me you don't give a fuck.
I was one of three people who started the forum with you, even though I wasn't physically making the forum, and as far as I know, I've been attempting to help for
TWO YEARS, especially recently since I saw that we really needed more users in BG, but nope. Nothing is better than your ideas. Yes, I was silly back when I first joined and I didn't always think, I'm sorry, but really. You nearly banned me for double posting
only three times regardless of everything I've attempted to help you with.
