Septagon / Re: Instead of locking certain threads....

I do think getting rid of posts that could potentially reveal/implicate if a user broke rules as a bad idea.
But it also unclogs certain topics of pure shit, so that's a good thing.
Admins can recover deleted posts (feature was recently added a week or so ago), so they're never truly gone unless Isara or I remove them permanently.

Seeing who liked your stuff doesn't work on mobile and it likely won't until the new design rolls out.

Deal with it.

Gaming / Re: If you bought the MCC....
« on: November 11, 2014, 12:34:10 AM »
Halo 2 online multiplayer was enough to hook me, but the anniversary campaign, new forge items/features, and Halo 5 beta had me completely gaga.

And it's also the first and only (as of yet) Halo on Xbox One. My 360 was starting to seem a little stale...

This is why Microsoft never learns anything.

No one votes with their wallets anymore. :/
I am. I completely approve of Halo 2 Anniversary with a lot of other cool shit added onto it (which is what I consider the MCC) and so I'm going to buy it and play the hell out of it because it's something I will enjoy for...dare I say years?

Cheat, you're a really cool dude and I'm sure you're a smart guy, but Microsoft was right when they believed that their consumers are all idiots, because they'll buy just about anything.
You're thinking Destiny and CoD (which I hear the latter was kind of good, but I still don't care for the series). I love Halo. I've loved Halo since Halo 2, which was my first real FPS experience after Goldeneye on the N64.

They haven't tricked me into anything. I watched the videos and read the articles and I'm stoked because it's fucking Halo 2 in HD!, not because it was hyped. I'll probably end up ruining this disk from playing it so often, like I did to my old Halo 3 disk after playing it every day after school and on weekends.

This shit is the ultimate LAN party game and it's more of a social experience than Destiny will ever be. Shit is going to go down in custom games with MCC and it will be incredible. Why aren't you on board with this?

The Flood / Re: What will kill this site?
« on: November 10, 2014, 10:07:36 PM »
If the drama doesn't kill us, a lack of new members will, because someday people will just start posting less and the forum will stagnate and slowly die. I have seen this happen many times before.

What were some communities that you frequented which stagnated?
MAKE SURE WE HAVE A CONSTANT FLOW OF MEMBERS AND NEW CONTENT. DO NOT LET THIS FORUM STAGNATE, OR ELSE WE WILL DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH.

Question is how do we attract others to this site? This place is so tightly knit and niche that it's doubtful that anybody would really want to settle down here.
We could always go the clan route and choose a common game for all of us to play. Perhaps maintain a dedicated server and Teamspeak. The MC server is a step in the right direction. All we need to do is advertise it. We could also set up TF2 and Counter Strike servers as well and be a multi-game community. The more games we play the more we are going to thrive. A dedicated Mumble or TS is necessary because you cannot have a clan without some form of global voice comms.

We can prolong the lifespan of our current community by hosting weekly gamenights and community events. The more active we are the more people are going to want to join our community.

Or of course we could go the 4chan route and just create epic maymays all day until we get famous...

Either way this community is going to have to become more active to combat stagnation.

The Teamspeak and game server idea actually sounds pretty good but the question is who is going to run it and how will the cost be covered? Official game nights also would be a great thing to host. Cheat if you're lurking will you take that idea in to consideration? Also I doubt that inside jokes such as "X is a pegboy" or "try xbox.com" will really spread outside of The Flood.
I'd be interested in looking into a TF2 server, since it's free to play and not exactly resource draining on a computer.

Besides that, I think that with the MCC coming out we can maybe plan on having a game night revolving around Halo. The first game night was actually a lot of fun (sort of, most of the time), so getting a bunch of people in a lobby and going to town with bad infection maps and gimmick obstacle courses sounds like fucking heaven to me.

What about people who don't own an Xbox One such as PS4 and PC gamers? Will there be other official game nights on different platforms?
Yeah, probably (although I don't have a PS4, so someone else would have to lead the pack with that one). I think someone made an entire spreadsheet of what consoles/games everybody had...that'd be useful, for sure.

But if not XBO, then we could go with 360s and play some Reach or Halo 4 customs. There was a spur-of-the-moment small game night on Halloween on Halo 4 and it wasn't so bad.

If we're going the PC, route, we'd need to decide on a pool of games that are either in abundant supply in a majority of players' library, or are cheap to buy. TF2 is a good start, but are there any other games that would work for a game night?

I don't really like to drive; I only do it because I have to. If there was cheap and reliable public transportation in my area, I'd probably just always use that instead.

Why don't you like to drive?
Just not my thing, I guess.

And don't get me wrong: I don't hate to drive; I'm not afraid to or dread doing it. I'd just never choose it as a leisure activity.

I lold. Where I live, I don't really even have a choice. It's either AT&T DSL or unreliable, overly-expensive satellite, as there isn't any cable service in the area.

Any reason why I'm not getting any ads whatsoever, Cheat?
Do you have adblock?

-_-
I do, but I've had it disabled for this website ever since I joined. Starting a week (or two) ago, I just stopped getting any ads.
Are you using Firefox? Also, the ad space isn't filled 100% of the time; it's about 50% to 60%.

And I've already complained about the audio ads, guys. We'll see what they say back to me.
Nope, using Chrome. And I haven't had a single ad in days now. Maybe it has to do with where I live though. Had it happen to me plenty of times that I didn't get ads on Twitch or other websites where other people did get them.
Yeah, apart from the non-100% fill rate, the ads that are served to you are personalized much like adsense is.

Try looking up strange sorts of porn or something and see what the ads spit out at you... :P

Nah. I'm pretty stoked for Isara's design. That'll keep me interested for a good long while.

And what might this new "design" be? An aesthetic overhaul?
There's a whole thread about this in Septagon if you care to look at it. It's mostly graphic improvements, yeah, but it looks sweet. 8)
