so something i learned from my time in Sniggwaffe when i use to play EVE

the strong corps in EVE don't stick around and stay strong because they're good at EVE and they're all super interested in the game, they stick around because they've built a strong community not just by playing EVE, but by also making sure to interact with each other a lot through other avenues whether it be through their forum, other video games, shooting the shit on their mumble, or just holding stupid karaoke contests

a group that plays together stays together
Not to sound butthurt but when it's really just the weebs that play together and game nights never really attract people that can't happen.

We're a pretty tight knit community but we're not all close. I used play Ghost Recon with these 2 dudes at first and we eventually became a group of 17 people because we all talked to each other and got along. There was nobody that was "part of the group" but not part of a chat or another game being played. It was really tight knit.

Here, there's a group within the main group that chat together, play together, and spend time together. And nobody else is really welcome. You can't do that and then not expect the community to die off (albeit slowly).

Back with that group of people I used to play with it was different. We all had different views and ideals but we all respected each other and just threw the bullshit to the side. There I knew I could organize an event and everybody would be down to play (if they could make it). Here, I kind of feel like a stranger and that little to no one would actually care to join any event I organized. And it's not just me, it's several members who I've seen try to host gaming sessions with maybe a few people joining or even no replies to the thread. So they give up. It kinda has this high school vibe with only the "popular kids" mattering. Maybe that's what a lot of new members see too so they just bounce.
This is pretty spot on actually.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but back in 2014 when people first started using skype groups on here, everyone got along a lot better and anyone that was from Sep7agon just got thrown into one group and we all did calls together. We even had gamenights and shit. Over time it got bigger and smaller groups began to splinter off and eventually people became so separated after drama and shit that the only real groups that felt like "community" were small circlejerk groups that eventually died as well.

You can't really do anything with people here without being in some sort of group or clique but even that feels like it's dying.
Let's bring it back!

TBH part of the reason I stopped participating in Skype stuff is because one of the mobile updates basically broke the app for me and I could only communicate when I was at home. We should have more game nights, though. Maybe make a recurring schedule so that everyone knows when they're going to be going on. Like once a month on the 7th or something?

We should probably maybe think about advertising again too. Spread the word and all that. Like I said before, I am all for reeling in the rules so that the forum would be more welcoming to newbs and then leaving Anarchy for the crazy stupid fun zone.
I mean this is something that should be done by the mod team or some people... I'm not trying to be a dick of anything but it seems like a necessary thing that needs to be done if this site is going to grow at all.

I hadn't even thought about the Skype groups but yeah they did have a ton of impact on the community.
[redacted because it did work]

Unless you meant reigning in the rules a little bit in which case that'd probably be fine, we might need to give that a fair bit of thought considering that people these days seem to know exactly where the line is and we hardly have to intervene to break things up anymore.
I meant more the general attitude of the folks in charge y'know? I feel like there should be some kind of drive to have progress.
Kind of a double edged sword that, I'm sure we could do that but unless the changes/ideas have community wide support it's a bit of a dead end or may be a fairly unpopular direction to go in.

So if anyone has ideas or suggestions, then provided that seems like a good thing to pursue it shouldn't be hard for the staff to get it implemented.

I had a chat with Psy, and the idea of a BF1 Xbox server under our name could get people around on gaming grounds. I would gladly manage it with him too.

BF4's server was great.
Yep, when BF1 is out I'll try to sort out a BF1 server that lasts rather than goes up for a week and dies.

I think there is the plan to get an Ark server going too when crossplay becomes a thing so that may help that too.

how much do they cost

I would help chip in
Hard to say because it may change when they come out, but they are in that range of not cheap but not expensive, like £50 for 3 months or something (off the top of my head)
i have 26 money
But you also need to buy BF1 when that comes out

that will be seventy money

With the weebs playing together thing, it is fairly true. There are about 8-10 of us that play together regularly but it's not so much that nobody else is invited/allowed because we do have other sep7 people join us from time to time it's just that generally a lot of the games out these days don't support large groups of people playing together.

Say we all turn up for BF4, then it's two squads of people and shit gets a little clusterfucky. Halo is the one that kinda works, or dogpiling a BF4 server (Or BF1) but then it's not particularly easy to be playing together instead of playing on the same server/lobby.

What I'm kinda hoping 343 sorts out soon is the file browser, if they do we can get the good old halo custom gamenights running again. That had a great turnout and was a lot of fun when we set one of those up last year, 17 people I think at one point in the custom lobby.

So yeah, I'm hoping they sort out halo 5 soon but even if they don't there are at least the Ark and BF1 servers planned for the future that will be Sep7 dedicateds

Total bullshit, Comey had the evidence to indict her, yet he dropped it?  Apolitical my ass, especially considering her and Obama's tour coming up.  If the US isn't lost yet, it will be.
"To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now."

Translation: We can't touch her, but we can say this much.
