Instant Messengers vs. Forum Posts

[Thomas Pickert]

Alright, people. There's a difference between the two. If you want a chat conversation with someone, that's only of interestes for the participating people, then please use Instant Messengers. Some even allow for conferences, where many people can take part. Almost all IMs offer the opportunity to leave offline messages, so you won't miss anything. It's the same fun for the people who like it, and it does not annoy people who are actually interested in using the forum as a forum.

I also noticed that almost every thread goes off-topic at some point. We haven't been moderating the forum overly active in the past, and we don't plan to do that. But please, for the sake of the people, who are really interested in a discussion, limit the off-topic posts to a minimum.

I'm asking politely now, and that didn't work in a specific topic. If it doesn't work, then we will probably have to start moderating more actively, and that will take the fun out of this forum. So let's try to avoid that.

Thanks for your understanding, and sorry to the people who got annoyed by the random posts, and the irritating chit-chat topics. We should probably have done something about it a little earlier.

Well...
Bummer...

But it's true. The forum runs on the same server as the game.

We could play over on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cantr_ii/

Yeah, but then we have to deal with the porn posters.

I have been trying to strike up a conversation with them but they never seem to reply to my posts. I think I can really start a good coversation.

Someone could go start a new one and keep it restricted. I vote that Sammi runs it.

I think it's fine to discuss whatever you want on this forum as long as it's under the appropriate title.

Well I think the the "latest post" topic is not to be used now. It was fun.

Nevermind, that's what I had thought. I've read some of the other posts now.
