Hello, sorry for my abscence, I am not really a weekend poster, too much golf etc...but here I am,

Where did you go and how did you move, I lost ya for a while definitely.

Over the weekend I was thinking whether we should have FOLK discussion on topics of worth such as Nerfing the Mantas, SETA etc...

?

I have had quite a few hoax's since our "move" and am very unhappy about the situation. The few peeps on this forum don't want us here, I can only say to them that we are equally unhappy about being in this forum as we have nothing to contribute to this forum

Please read the 1st post of this thread to see what we are all about. that is helping with the playing of X2

Being insulting to the artists and writers who post on the CREATIVE forum is not helping your cause at all... I live I n Camden but do not wish to take part in a group that obviously feels itself to be better than everyone else........ sorry that was harsh.... but I do feel that it is somewhat rude to
pick at the artists and writers here.... I know you lot did not choose to move here but already I am seeing the creative universe flooded with clan nit pickings and polls etc.... there may have been a comparively small amount of people postin here before.... but that is due to the nature of the forum... not everyone who plays a computer game is going to try to be an artist or writer....

That is right we all hate you all out there, leave us alone...why is it people do that, groups must be full of robots/clones, all thinking the same! Well nuts to that is all I can say.

I was not having a dig at particular members but or calling you mindless zombies or whatever....
why take such an offensive line? am I not entitled to an opinion?

so slagging of the people the creative forum was for in the first place wouldnt have wound me up a bit?????

gillrichard · Post by **gillrichard** » Mon, 17. May 04, 11:48

No I don't advocate that either, but Ferd is not in yet, but thankyou for pointing it out.

Yah same here, don't really go on-line over weekends. Normally go off to places on saturdays n sundays. Specially when the sun's out. Boy what a weekend

So what's going on? What's this move? I still got to the thread through the normal X-Universe forum (albeit on the fourth page).

Were we moved for being too off-topic, then moved back again or something?

Confused

[Edit] Nevermind, think I just figured it out. The FOLK link still exists on the X-Universe forum, but it brought me to this Creative Universe forum. Weird

So we've moved permanently now eh[/Edit]

Yeh, bad things have happened, now I have to check 3 forums, creative, mods, and x-universe...annoying

you dont wnat to know the weekend ive had! PMs, posts, all sorts of stuff......

This has not made my life any quieter!

gillrichard · Post by **gillrichard** » Mon, 17. May 04, 16:58

I have been posting quite vigourously against random posts in the other forum just to keep the side up, people seem hell bent on saying bad things for no reason, almost as if they make opinions up on the spot.

Weird.

Anyway carry on the good work

While we are in a bit of a fight at the moment, I would like to point out that our posts must be relative & not insensative in any form. If someone picks on you, just send a nice reply saying how stupid they are in respect of F.O.L.K. & its agenda. Point them in the diretion of the 2nd line of our opening post.

Keep up the fight & we shall prevail.

is that not the main purpose of the X universe page in the first place?
I agree that the Idea to help others is a nice one but to become so officious and self important about it seem a bit naive and also vaguely insulting to everyone who does that anyway... a London X2 fan club
is fine but no need to take yourselves so seriously...And I am offended yet again by you calling anyone who does not agree with you Stupid ( to quote your "Commanding Officer" )

keep it calm guys.

we are designed to be a place where questions can be asked and answered without the threat of being sunk under the sheer weight of other posts! it happens alot!

@ simonnance

Thanks for the answers, they could be picked at a bit here and there, but there's no point in doing that. I am also going to post this in the main forum to make sure you get it, read it and think about it.

1. You agree that your main aim as far as helping is concerned is the help new players.
YES/NO

2. Going by the number of repeating questions, often on the same page. Do you agree that some new or even old players do not look at the forum before they post.
YES/NO

3. If you agree to point 2 then would it be reasonable to expect that these same people would also NOT look at your thread.
YES/NO

4. If they do not look at your thread on the front page, is it being located on the front page useful then.
YES/NO

5. Are you going to continue to help people in normal threads.
YES/NO

6. If yes, are you going to still direct them to your additional helpful thread, for further help and chat.
YES/NO

7. Do you agree that you may be too close to the problem or too emotional about the move to look at things from a different angle
YES/NO

CONCLUSION
Re-read questions 2 & 3.
AND THINK ABOUT THIS
Your essentially saying that you want to post a thread for people who do not read threads.

Members and those who you contact will still search you out if they want to (it's only a couple of mouse buttons away). You will still have regular contact with people through helping them on the forum. So what is the problem with having your home next door to the main forum.

Before you answer re-read the questions and the conclusion and think about it (while ignoring any insult you may have felt about being moved).

Is there really a problem here?
