News / Trust System Update« on: October 30, 2014, 06:35:50 PM »
I'll be pushing an update to the Trust system late tonight, before Penguin Party starts, that may affect your Prefix and customization privileges. Read on to see what's up:
Changes:
This means that at Legendary you will unlock both a custom nameplate and a custom titlebar color, at Mythic you will get a custom border color, and at the Prefix above Mythic you will earn a custom title. Yes, if you are Heroic after the update, you will lose your custom nameplate until you reach Legendary, which will be weighted more heavily on activity rather than on upvotes/downvotes. We're on our way to making upvotes/downvotes obsolete as we move closer and closer to a system that begins to resemble the Bungie.old Prefix rankings. A future update may very well remove that feature entirely and affect banned/warned users negatively, but for now the upvote/downvote will carry a much smaller influence over Trust ratings across the board, and activity will allow you to slowly make your way up the ladder. As always, you will have unrestricted customization privileges in Penguin Party. 4088

I'm planning on working on an ad that can directly make the site money, without going through an ad publisher, that will be 100% unobtrusive and safe to click (since it'll direct you to a page on this site).That and the ones we have now are CPC, or cost per click, and depend on people actually clicking them. Adsense was CPM, which is cost per thousand views.Whatever happened to the ebay ones? I would assume they'd pay decently since it's ya know, ebayI'm making absolutely shit money on the site right now.I intentionally make it like such. Sometimes that forum gets boring with everybody agreeing and something different just needs to happen to spice things up.

Septagon / Re: Suggestions for the website« on: October 28, 2014, 07:52:03 PM »
Agreed. But just to make things interesting, how about we slow the forum response time down and have the software throw an error once every 50 page requests? That would make posting feel more rewarding and balanced, IMO.

After so much of this finger pointing, name calling, and blame-gaming that's been going around causing people to drop out of the forum as well as taking up a lot of my god damn time, I've decided to be a bit more harsh to repeat offenders.
If you have been Lite-Banned before and you do some stupid shit again, be prepared for a 7 day ban, minimum. Do you have a rather long history of slaps on the wrist and one or two day Lite-Bans? Prepare yourselves for a fun-filled vacation away from this forum for a minimum of 7 days. Mega jerks might even win double vacation time. Let's be real: nobody really wants to put up with all this drama. We just want to post videos, have light discussions with people we vaguely know, and make online friends and stuff. The censors are gone and we don't have to worry about Adsense breathing down our assholes, so lighten up, stop taking things so seriously, and especially refrain from being a dick bag. Thanks, That fucking faggot who made this goddamn site 4106

Sometimes, you just need to go for a walk in a different part of the woods, clear your noggin out, and then return back home to something fresh.I wouldn't blame anybody for leaving. The topics here are about as interesting as watching paint dry and there's nothing but drama and animosity. On the topic of Deci leaving...well, I am not sure what to say to convince you to stay. It's clear that you're easily offended, and very vocal about it (which seems to attract the griefers to you, unfortunately). So take a break from this place for a while. No need to announce that you're leaving; just go. I can promise it'll be here when you decide to come back (at least I hope it's still here...). |
